the best site on planet earth

Th Star on Saturday carry a feature on broadband penetration in Malaysia. I feel bad for the reporter, because, really what is there to write about ? So, they throw in a couple of articles on what you can do with high speed internet, (sigh!).

While everyone blame each other and making promises, I flip to the next section knowing that, I better not hold my breath, waiting for any improvement, anytime soon.

Yes, you heard me. I tried to be patient, but I am just too damn annoyed by now. Chedet.com is run by a bunch or amateurs!. First of all, why the heck did you guys moved from .com to .cc . Do you guys even have a clue what a .cc is ? Here, let me help, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cc

.cc is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory.

Why would a Malaysian politician use a .cc ? A .com is good enough. I remember, when they change it, I lose all my rss feed and have to configure everything all over again. As I type this, they just changed it to .co.cc which is a bloody redirection service, typical amateur.

Oh yes, this bunch of amateur also at one point uses http://test.chedet.com as a live production url. Shocking.. now, they happily apply redirection whenever they feel like it, with zero consideration for SEO. As I type this, the url is http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/ . Hello! we all know it is a blog, why change it to /chedetblog/ ? .

Why not use this url instead ?. http://test.chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/

Another thing that annoys me is me, such a high traffic site can easily make a lot of money. Instead, this clueless amateur quote a ridiculous amount of advertising rate. Last time I check, it was RM 300 per day.

Enough rant. Some advice.

1. Let someone else run the site.
2. Just keep the damn site at http://chedet.com . DONE!
3. To make money, deploy Google AdSense. Charge a more reasonable rate. A full traffic stats need to be disclosed.

I have been staying with Digi and their slow (but reliable) Edge network all this while, hoping that, when they finally get their 3G act in order all this waiting would be worth it. So, I was a little excited when they finally account their broadband packages at http://www.digi.com.my/broadband/index.html .

Sadly, the excitement only last a couple of seconds. The 3G-based broadband is NOT accessible within my existing voice account. You will be given separate sim card purely for the broadband access which cannot be use with any voice services.

I don’t understand why DiGi would want to chase the most crowded space, land-based broadband when there are simply tons of other providers. I am sure there are thousands of Edge user who would readily upgrade their account to 3G-based network in an instance. Instead, they roll out yet another wireless internet services that require expensive modems. Opening this service to their existing customer, who already own 3G phones would greatly speed up their adoption. It will also reverse the voice user migration from their service to other 3G enabled provider.

I am so disappointed with DiGi..
