I just ran the popular Speedtest.net – The Global Broadband Speed Test at this location. Very spacious typical Malaysian restoran and it sometimes get’s extremely boring and monotonous when working from home office location only. Having fast internet is a must if we want to evolve… It’s not yet like Hong Kong or Singapore here, but they are catching up quickly. About time also…

As you can see they are using Streamyx. I am pleasantly surprised… speedwise.

Today I want nothing more than some good kopi susu, a good nasi lemak dish and acceptable fast internet.

They just seem to have this.

Anthony (who almost forgot he had a blog ) wrote something about Celcom broadband slow and unstable on digiculturetravelexpatasia

and it put him in google top 10 Nice. It shows that blogs really work for search engine marketing. And they are not fake.

Even if it does not have a big hard disk (which is not why I got this machine…) it does work fine. I have been running around with it in Kuala Lumpur and what I absolutely love about it is that I am not depending from any WIFI system to get to the internet.  The provider I use is Maxis. It’s best to go with the big boys (and girls) in this internet connectivity industry. They will eat the small ones anyways…

To know who is big and small just visit the PC fairs by PICOM in Malaysia. Judging by the size of their (shrinking) booth, you’ll know very quickly. Still look at the best deal…  In the end shop for quality for a fair price. Putting well trained staff at a booth might also help to acquire customers… Nothing is so annoying to talk to people who don’t know the product or the service…

The reasons why I choose for Maxis are :

- good coverage
- HSPA connection. Quite fast in reality. no fluctations.
- good service
- no nonsense product
- good wrapping of the hardware with a broadband plan
- no wires, no cable, nothing to plugin, really plug and play (not plug and pray)

I thought I was dreaming, but this is our watertap this morning…

Free Flow of “Teh Tarik” or Kopi Susu if you like…

It’s not like we have a big problem with theft over here, but it’s handy to know who shows up at your doorstep (wanted or unwanted) so now we will know who is taking our newspapers…

Maybe i’ll attach a system to this mini-camera that will send me an sms and email with the images when something or somebody pops up at our doorstep.

Very handy also if delivery people drop by and leave a note for package not delivered, since not home and so now with this you will know immediately…

You will see that the barbershops are mostly run by Malaysian Indian people over here. Found a 10 RM cheap close to Jalan Ipoh, Sang Suria Condo. I love it when good things, don’t cost too much. Reminds me of one of my more stingy dutch friend in Rotterdam
