Speed and download from US site from is bad over here in Penang.

I have wrote an article to Prime Minister blog. I suggest all of us here contribute.
If the Prime Minister failed to act, there is nothing else we can do....

Starting from yesterday afternoon, latency playing WOW has become unplayable.
All 60.50, 60.53, 60.54, 124 has been tested and all latency is terrible.
Tried VPN, still the same. Anyone encountered the same situation?
Reporting from Penang.

I hope more can contribute to this cause.

Sir/Madam,

I am lodging a report against Telekom Streamyx 1MB service.
I am a user from Penang, and along with users from the rest of the states
in Malaysia, we found that Telekom is unable to provide reliable broadband
service in terms of latency and bandwith.

While the rest of the Asia countries are able to have 300 ms - 400 ms latency
to United States, Malaysia is lagging at 1000+ ms latency. Due to the
laziness and incompetency of TM in solving this problem, users have been
trying to connect to United States through VPN provided by Singapore.

Even this cannot be reliably done as somehow TM has managed to cause
a problem in this area and connection to Singapore, our closest distance
country is slow.

I found out that since yesterday (May 10)about 3:00 p.m., latency has
become horrible with most IP - 60.50, 60.53, 60.54 etc. There is also frequent
disconnect from IP. Users from all over Malaysia is experiencing this problem.
I am reporting this from Penang. Please check out what is wrong.

Regards,
Victor
