Starhub's response to the disaster was immediate, working round the clock to ensure that their services were restored as soon as possible, whereas Singtel took its time to respond. By most accounts, Starhub users were able to enjoy slow but almost full connectivity to the world by the next morning, while Singtel users (like me) couldn't even check gmail until the day after. Accusations that Singtel was uncoorperative in repair efforts by a Korean telco further tarnishes Singtel's image.
Given that my contract with Singtel is over, and I have been considering upgrading my connection for some time already, it looks like I will changing my provider in the very near future.
In other throttling related news, Saddam was executed by hanging this morning. It is a rare day indeed that the world actually manages to get its act together to catch, try and finally get down to actually punishing a former tyrant/dictator. May all his victims rest in peace.

Blogger recently added several new features to its blogging service, so I took the oppotunity to change my template and layout while giving out the new features a try. So if the new layout looks a bit rough and messy, please bear with me, I am still in the process of trying out new things.
