Malaysians especially those in West Malaysia would be familiar with the “Sudah Potong” campaign held by P1 a wireless Wimax broadband provider.

For the non-Malaysian subscribers, “sudah potong” directly translates to “Have you cut it?” cutting off your existing fixed-line broadband system but also makes an innuendo implying circumcision which is a requirement for Muslim men.

This was a direct attack on Telekom Malaysia which is by a huge margin the largest fixed-line internet provider in Malaysia but often criticized for its poor level of service. Subscribing to P1 which was on a separate network was apparently supposed to be faster and hence their main selling point.

Here’s a video of P1′s campaign:

What is funny right now is that P1 and TM have now signed an agreement whereby P1 is tapping into TM’s high speed broadband network to expand its connectivity which was bound to happen given TM’s virtual monopoly over broadband connectivity.

TM’s official twitter account posted this in response:

“Sambung Balik” means ‘connect back’. Ouch…touché!

All Luxembourg servers are coming back online.

Problem was due to a core switch in the datacenter that hung and they are currently investigating the cause of the hang.

Share

Our servers in Luxembourg are currently inaccessible. It appears that the entire datacenter is down and we have not received any news on this from our providers.

Capacity is still being managed and taken up by our remaining servers but connection time may be a bit longer than usual especially to the FullyRouted servers.

Servers Affected:

1. SB3 (seedbox)
2. Cochise (FullyRouted)
3. BR4 (FullyRouted)

Was doing a little test last night to see whether a decent stream could be obtained from Hulu and Netflix using BolehVPN from Malaysia using my 2Mbit Streamyx connection. Results are as above. Netflix streamed smoothly with no noticeable buffering. Hulu was also surprisingly smooth.

Please note that our gateway provider had rectified the problem with MEPS/FPX transactions sometime yesterday.

Please note that we may be contacting some of you whose cash was deducted from your account but never reached us. Such amounts should have already been refunded to your account and as such, we require your assistance to resubmit payment.

We appreciate your kind cooperation and apologize for the inconvenience caused.
