Fawked Network

When I woke up this morning I saw an MSN message from Clitoris Clinton asking me if I wanted to play a game he had just found. So I thought what the hell, just download the game and test it out. I always turn my computer on and do some stuff on it before taking my first piss or brushing my teeth. So when I saw the picture below, I thought I was still dreaming:

240KB/sec!! At first I thought yea right. Must be the server I was downloading from. But it’s a stable anywhere from 180KB/sec to 200KB/sec with the occasional 245KB/sec. I have had speeds like this before at my shop and we use a 2Mb/sec line there. But my home line is only a 1Mb/sec and my max download speed is supposed to be about 125Mb/sec.

I wanted to get to the bottom of this so I did a few speed tests at www.speedtest.net and this were my results:

The speed results on the top is to a local server in Malaysia and the bottom test result is a server some where in the USA. Both show the same download speed. Normally you won’t be uploading anything so upload speed doesn’t really matter.

As you can see in my blog post titled I Hate Streamyx, my speed test results showed only a 0.85KB/sec. Normally when I connect to streamyx my IP would begin with 60.* but today my IP is beginning with 115.*. The 115.* IP used to be total shit in my area. So what the fuck is going on? As you can see from the test results above even my is stated as Core IP Network Development.

Ever since P1 rolled out their Wimax service, Streamyx has been steadily upgrading trying to upgrade their services. But I still think it was my blog post that made them upgrade their shit at my area (make emoticon with tongue sticking out here).

I’m not about to get my hopes up high. Let’s wait and see how long they can keep this speed up. It’s about damned time TM.net got some competition in this Internet business.

*Note: Streamyx still sucks cause Bittorrent downloads are still blocked.
