The power of ICT internet connection....

Internet connection here around Miri is always an issue, i heard a lot of my friends and also some other Curtin students complain that the line is slow and etc. Usually as we all know that, universities provides fast internet connection in the computer lab. This year, we are really lucky because we got a new ICT lab which acts as a computer lab for students to print and do assignments and also surfing the web.



that was like 10 times the normal local area network. Logically when you saw this speed you will think that oh man the download and surfing is so It came to my surprise when i look at the connection status and i was like, whoa 1.0 Gbpsdamm fast, sorry i am not a computer system student so i don't really know much about connections and etc. But sorry you were so wrong....look at this.....




It is pathetic....with the speed of 1.0 Gbps, to download a4mb file require 1 hour++ even my house wireless connection which runs 54 MBPS is faster than this. Maybe the Internet connection slow down due to the amount of people using it. But no...it was around 11pm and there was only 6-11 people using the computer and there is 50+ computer in the lab.....I dont really mind if the download speed is slow but what i piss off most is this......



Sigh, dont ever try to do research assignments in ICT lab!!!!!
