ISP's mockery upon us

Take look at this column published in Svet Kompjutera for march 2007.

I couldn't agree more with his author Miodrag Kuzmanović in matters of ISP issues in Serbia.
While in civilized world users complains on his Gbps links chairman of Telekom Serbia in one of his speaks says [paraphrase]:

"Brzina od 768Kbps je sasvim dovoljna da omoguci uzivanje u svim sadrzajima koje internet nudi. Nase trziste nema poterebe za vecim brzinama. Vise vam moze biti potrebno jedino ako preko interneta gledate TV..."

Shamefully...

He forgot to mention QoS provided by ISP's which result with connection resets [which effectively interrupt any MMOG expirience], massive lag etc... Which remembered me; here is couple of screen shots captured during my World of Warcraft sessions:

Notice that red latency indicator in middle bottom of the screen [btw red means 600+ ms latency]

Here we have respond for my apologize to raid leader via in-game letter. Our raid attempted to kill Teremus the Devourer when I disconnected... Raid was wiped because I was main tank... Annoying, isn't it.

People I was played with used teamspeak, download movies, sharing his connection with other computers etc. during game sessions and still have 50-80 ms lag in game. I think that you get a picture...

Our pitiful government obviously didn't care, they saying "We will imprison general Mladich as soon as possible ... blah..blah..." Big deal, nobody cares except them.
How about xGbps fiber optic to every home instead of commercials for DS Mr.President. This is cost only 50.000 $/Km which is nothing for serious country...

Aaarrghh, i am really pissed off, sorry about this :)
