Let there be joy, laughter and happiness!!
For my office is now connected to the internet :D Hey, don't pray-pray, it's been three weeks and at least 3 'computer companies' that came to set it up and today, with the fourth guy, we managed to get it online.
It's no small deal, really because we're not using the normal ADSL. Since the company has offices in a few other countries, it's significant to have the IP addresses fixed as compared to ADSL's random IP assignment. We chose TM's 1.5M SDSL connection which gives us 1.5 upload/download speeds. ADSL's speed, as the name goes, is asynchronous which means that upload and download speeds differ.
Why is that necessary?
It's simple. When you open a webpage to browse any content, you'll have to download it from the net. Anything you do on the internet involves downloading stuff however, uploading comes into play when you wish to 'post' something on the net such as emails, pictures, blogs, etc. Still, in the act of uploading things on the internet, you'll still require 'checks' to make sure that the data you sent arrives safely and to instruct the uploading computer to send more.
If you study networks, you'll understand better. Try checking it out at How Stuff Works.
Now the problem with ALL of the people working in the computer shops that I've encountered these past 3 weeks is the same: They have no idea what SDSL is. I don't blame them. I don't know what it was either, until we met the TM rep who introduced us to this package. And it's NOT cheap, going for RM600+ per month. It's nothing you want to install in your house :)
The stress I've been having these past 3 weeks are attributed to that. And to some meddling hands and Alhamdulillah, I can put them all behind me now.
He should've listened to me from the beginning. Pandai-pandai sangat.. huh.. :P
