From the papers:

Apparently, 62% of Malaysian adults access the internet directly, either at home or at work, as of June 2006. 7% are regular users who use the Net at least once a week, 55% percent have occasional Net access and 41% percent do not directly use it. That makes it an average of six in ten Malaysian adults logging on to the internet.

I wonder how many toddlers/kids/teens access the internet?

And from the blogs:

Fendy, whose blog tagline is “I learned it the hard way, now I’m going to share it with ya…”, shows us the fastest way to make Streamyx available at home. It involves applying for Streamyx, waiting for 3 days, finding out that your house is out of the 5km radius, and then, threatening to cancel.

Ashotiwoth troubleshoots like a pro, and still hasn’t got above 70% of the required speed.

Jase Lee is “real pissed off the way these TM people are handling their customers“, and decided to e-mail all the bigshots with a detailed complaint. A response is pending.

Lastly, Teh Shu Jia seems to have written something in chinese on Streamyx’s “best effort”. An autotranslated to English version is here.
