How To Deal With Slow Bandwidth??

What you shall do if you’re experiencing slow-bandwidth? Here are some solutions you might like to try out:1) Open as few webpages as possible, preferably 1 .
– multitask?? no, don’t even think about it.
2) Carry out your online chores/surfing during odd hours, say the wee hours, and in the morning when most people are at work / school.
– I do, and most people too, have a job. Shall we stay up from 1am – 5am and sleep during daytime? Try to live the life as a vampire, only you’re a ‘Net’pire instead.
3) Subscribe to another bandwidth service, say 3G? Wimax?
– 3G, tried. Unstable & costly. Wimax? For my area, not until 2010. So..move along..
4) How about Dial-up service?
– ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
5) Compain! Complain! Dial 100 and complain!
– Although mostly you’re going to hear “the indication shows that the line is perfectly normal, most probably is due to your hardware problem..” or “No, here it’s just fine” as long as the DSL light is stable, no, it’s not their problem.
6) Offline. Forget it.
– Best solution. Just wait till the line gets better by itself, and only GOD knows when. How we able to cope with the IT age if we’re not getting a good bandwidth service?? Let’s not forget, we are paying for the service.
A Nobleprice is on the waiting list for the one who could solve this problem. The whole nation will nominate him/her, you can count on that!

Ching Ya, I do face the slow bandwidth problem. Some of the solutions which I tried: 1) I am using manual connection. I disconnect my connection, wait for a while and reconnect back. 2) Call 100 and complaint to the customer service that I am having a slow connection and requested them to reset for me.
Sometimes the above will solve the problem. I hope we’ll be paying our broadband service for a reasonable speed. Coz now, what we get is much lower than what we expect.
Hi Ching Ya
I love the drawing of the turtle cartoon very funny.
Great adivce, my favorite is #4. I would say the same thing.
Thanks, I enjoyed reading your blog.

Imperfect Action is better than No Action
Dear Yan, thanks alot for your feedbacks. ^^ I tried the disconnect/reconnecting as well, works alright for a few minutes then back to the old frust again, sigh.. I do experience that the 1MB package is slightly better than the rest, it's still slow but not as SLOW & irritating as the lower packages. Pity..is the unstability that hurts.
Guess what, if you try around 5a.m. the line is fantastic! lol, so the traffic is another issue, less ppl online the better. ^^
No.2, Works.
I don't know should I be happy or sad.
Dear Giovanna,
Thanks for visiting my blog, it’s a pleasure to have you here. ^^
The drawing was out of intuition. As much as I know it’s not that artistic enough, but I think it’ll sum up what I have in mind. lol. Thanks for your kind words, I truly appreciate it.
Ah yes, I can nightly be heard complaining to my husband about this (the poor dear!). Mine seems to pack it in just as I get my kids off to sleep and I settle in to do some writing and reading of other blogs. I too just disconnect, walk away and hope that when I return it has sorted itself out… cute pic btw!
Thanks Rosey. Isn’t it? ^^
My husband literally complaining the same thing to me, and yesterday the line was so bad that both of us got so fed up, we ended up watching ‘Yes Man’ instead. Later when we tried, the line was still saying ‘NO’ to us. sigh… … …
About an year back, I was suffering from same problem.
The solution.
Lodge a complaint. Note down complaint number and date. Repeat your complaints and insist on new complaint numbers. When you have 5-6 complaint numbers and 4-5 days are gone, fax all details with your complaint to head of broadband company and deliberately send CC (not BCC) to communication minister. I bet they will come at your doorstep to listen to you.
I should give you a medal for creative thinking, Anonymous. Fantastic idea! =)
True, it’s important to get the report number. My experience is, if you don’t have the report number, nobody is going to do NOTHING!
Good, that CC shall deal with their perfunctoriness. ^^
No, I am not having slow bandwidth
problems at this time. Are you still working with both of your blogs?
Hi Salute, good for you. May you never have to deal with slow bandwidth at all.
Both of my blogs? Do you mean the Drama Sum It Up & Best Moments Ever? You'll find them in my blogroll once there are updates. Prison Break is temporary on-hold by Fox so I could give it a little rest first.
Thanks for the visit, hope to see you again sometimes.
The connection is back to normal now. ^_^
Good for you. Here is still pretty unstable. When will the life-saver come? Wi-Max? I rather not putting any high hopes for the time being.
Hehe love your turtle
Should have used this for my post earlier
Hi Michael, thanks for dropping by. And you know what, that could be a great idea too.. lol.. what are the odds that people using turtle as a representative of a blog post. ^^
