Queue Jumper BJV2290

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

You can consider this as an honest and sincere opinion from me, as a Malaysian and a heavy Internet user. Maybe, if Rais reads this it will be much fun.

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I don’t think so. Last week, I was on leave for the whole week and did some light browsing at home. To avoid contamination with other PCs in my house, I conducted this test while purely tethering on my BlackBerry device. WIFI was turned off.
The only objective is to see how much data I am [...]
