Broadband

Everyday we access to the world wide web for information, entertainment, games & data sharing. Either study, working or online shopping, internet is part of our daily activities; even, part of our life.

History, future talk, common info, weird & horror story and video clip, we can get it as easy as a click.

As far we know, and some of us even understand and face it everyday - access speed damn slow.

May be this is our fault. We are not subscribed for the 2M package. May be we stay at the wrong place, it is too rural and limited residents area. Hence, nobody willing to open their network for us to use. May be, there are too many people like to have their own copper wires - without need to pay a single cent.

But, it sounds funny when we really analyse the situation as well as the condition.

First, we always talk about we are developed into advance technology country. Advance? Technolgy? In what area? Advance in breaking into a house? Technology use in criminal case? May be I defined it wrongly; we are fully used of what we can have. This is the advance technology.

Is our technology as good as other countries? Question mark! If we are not good enough, why don't we learn from others? Another question mark!! We have a lots of talents, every year government sponsor straight A's students to overseas to further their studies & why they are not back to service the country? Another question mark again!!!

Rural areas, not much exposure to world wide web as well as internet. May be, they are not high educated enough to handle a machine that we called computer. We accept & forgive that. But, how's the cities and urban areas?

Most of the cities residents are high educated & know how to use the machine that named computer. Yes, we have broadband internet access for that. Is that sufficient and efficient?

2 Megabytes. Please! I have subscribed the broadband for more than 5.5 years, and I never experience that I can access the internet with the full speed I subscribed. 2 Megabytes subscribed, maximum speed only 800Kilobytes. I am staying in urban area, but what I paid is damn expensive and what I get is damn stupid low speed.

I have checked with the officers at broadband service provider center, they told me that "Oh, your area too many people using broadband, it will share your broadband speed; we can't do anything for that..."

World wide web & internet has unlimited information, but we only have limited accessing speed. As we all keep discussed, the future is globalisation. Guess what, we are still limited by the low broadband speed.

Countires like Japan, US, Taiwan, Hong Kong & etc, FREE high speed broadband service & some only charge you a minimum monthly fee. Look at our internet TV or streaming video like youtube, foreign countries users are streaming & watch; we are streaming, wait, streaming, wait, streaming, suddenly hang and unable to load - time to refresh the page, then we start again streaming & wait before we can watch a complete 5 minutes video.

Others can provide FREE high speed broadband access; we need to pay much more extra to get the minimum access speed.

Is there any choice for us to use the broadband service? Yes, either use it or don't use it. Choose to use it, then enjoy suffering for it.
