My streamyx connection has really suxxored these past few days. Most google services (including gmail and Earth) wont load, youtube videos wont load, MSN messenger wont connect...wtf is going on!

Luckily gaming pings are still low, and can browse vital pages eg RSS reader, LYN forums, wikipedia...otherwise computer no use liao

Guys, I may have found a temporary solution to some of the problems here: Proxy server.

Basically, what you do is set Windows to use one of --> these <-- servers as a proxy server. It will act as a "middle man" e.g. load whatever webpage you want, and then forward to your computer.
I tried using GMail with one of the China proxy servers. The connection was slow like dialup, but at least it was steady. Not like direct connection, nothing happens at all so you can wait forever...
