After getting disconnected 3 times from TM 1300889515 number today I learned the following:

1) first analyst reported to me that they were aware of problem with worldcom connection

2) second analyst reported to me that they are unaware of any problem and that everything is fine because the analyst can surf to yahoo.com from his TMnet office so we must be imagining this problem! I explained to him that not only is he on a different backbone with huge amounts of bandwidth but also that TM has multiple international circuits that cannot be assessed by accessing only his yahoo.com email !

3) second analyst also indicated that my report at Dec 19, 6:30pm of slow international browsing was the first report today !

4) analyst also reported to me that the status of my fault report on Dec 10 (slow international browsing) is still in the open state and that a technician had been sent to check out the port ! I don't think checking a port is the way to solve a problem with international browsing.

5) analyst also reported that whenever a customer complains about slow network they ask them to change to a different DNS server (e.g. from 202.188.0.133 to 202.0.188.132 or vice versus)

6) analyst also reported to me that they were aware of problems with their phone system this morning (disconnected three times) but he indicate the phone system is working perfectly this afternoon dispite my reports of being dropped three times. His logic was that since his conversation was not dropped that no problem could exist with other callers!

7) on dec 10, I also experienced problems with TMnet 1300889515 number and tried to have the analyst log a problem in his database about the report. Again today the analyst refuses to log reports for anything that is not internet related. I wonder what TMnet's ISO 9002 and continuing improvement process would say about deliberatley failing to report/track reported problems !

From my personal experience, I believe that in additional to being incompetent, TMnet support and technicians are deliberatley taking measures to cover up problems from their management and I encourage everyone to try to make this as difficult as possible for them. I plan to record all phone conversations with TMnet support in the future. Please make sure you log problems and get the report number. It is also good to follow up on those reports to see how they cover it up....

Hmm was there an announcement of the int link problem? Maybe someone should tape it and post here after all we already got the stupid recording of them blaming last international link problem to us getting infected with viruses thus we can't surf the international sites (but can surf the local sites as the virus must be super smart that it can specifically look at the ip where we surf to). Idiots...

Hope latest hoo-haa abt counter service personnel must b truly service-orientated and courteous, gains momentum...
Also now comments re telephone operators & effects of computerised responses, have been highlighted!

Just now on TV3 news, a recording was played 2show what happened when TV3 ppl called a govt dept to ask 4info...put on hold, dunno who to refer call to, & finally hung up on caller!
A computerised answering system was also recorded and played during the news to illustrate the complexities of such a system to the layman....

Let's hope some1 up at the top does something abt all that soon....then TMNet also would b improved!!:D

Hey hell b0y I am not affected other than the lag, which state you in? Also did you try changing the DNS address to some other ones? Also did you try proxies... and lastly if US sites can't then test out Japanese/Korean sites see if can browse might only be certain int links... You seem to be able to get in right now to post here...

Here is short list, sometimes might not help at all but try your luck right... if not then go look for free proxies...

speaking of which, i'm not affected too. anyways, a little diversion topic, just now some guy from Appco came to do a short survey about tmnet services. weird part was he came like 8pm+, kinda late at night to be doing survey. anyways when i told him that there's been some slowdowns once in a while, he said usually slowdown becuz of upgrading.

i honestly almost wanted to sound the bugger, lucky he not official tmnet fella. what the heck everytime slowdown is becuz of upgrading, but i dont see my connection performance improving more after their "upgrading".

No its not up yet...Still very slow.I am only getting 180kbps at Test.my

You know why TMnet's international line always goes down?That's because they choose crappy international links that's why.Forget about peering with Singapore..Even Thailand(Songkhla) and Indonesia(Batam) has a huge backbone which links them to Singapore(Changi) via the TIS bacbone(capable of upto 30gbps traffic)...Malaysia is left out of it.I am wondering why also since they are just opposite the straits.

pardon me, but what has changing the DNS got to do with ur browsing to international sites if the international links themselves are down? sure, u'll be able to resolve the sites, but you still wouldn't be able to access them.

No problem here hell_boy. It is highly possible could be your state's gateway or something routing wrongly...

I don't know what to say. I've not been having any such problem?

Anyone on the same boat as me?

I'm on 384/128. Sometime I can download up to 50kbyte/sec some time 5kbyte/sec. It totally depends on where is the content. Especially if it's on P2P where many people is hoarding to the same PC, the bandwidth available will be divided by the number of people.
