Anchorfree

Lately TMNut are giving lotsa problems to the StimiX users.  I can't even surf the net smoothly, even without any downloading and P2P programs.  I'm sure lotsa Malaysians are facing this problem as well, not only in Penang.

I think it's due to the stupid routing algorithm and throttling of the bandwidth done by StimX.  If you noticed, some sites are very fast.  Most likely these sites are in the Asian region.  But sites like Facebook, Friendster are crawling as slow as watching trees grow!  Maybe even slower if you're waiting for a download to complete, because it WON'T, as the connection will be dropped.  Trees will still grow.

So, what can you do?  Go download and install Anchorfree.  It's a free VPN (Virtual Private Network).  Since most VPNs require fees, this free stuff comes with a catch.  Some ads will pop up on your Internet browser, but I will gladly allow them if I can surf the net without any problems.  One tip though: You need not install the browser toolbar.

This is not a paid post.  I want all StimX users to fully utilize their bandwidth.  If we could, I'd wanna sue StimX for overselling their limited bandwidth.
