Re: [ossig] DNS problems

Only $$$ matters in this area.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying tmnet is good, what i'm  
really pissed off with is their competitors is not doing anything that  
will help improve the situation.

go to http://www.cmc.gov.my look at the list of companies with the NFP  
(Network Facility Provider) license, these are the guys with the  
license to provide the "last mile" connect to your premises.

Oh, btw, the NFP license doesn't come cheap, so in the end all that  
matters is $$$$$. and of course the companies that prefer to charge  
premium rates rather than affordable rates.

As for TMNet's helpdesk, and lack of knowledge, that unfortunately is  
the sorry state of work attitude and knowledge in Malaysia.
