Problem with Connection

This morning people who play Seal Online could still connect, but from 7 am the connection to the server was closed. All of the players were complaining to us as there was nothing we can do about it. The internet connection was fine, this can be proved using the ping command to the DNS. The reply was quick, around 30 ms. So it was not the internet connection. We tried to the site, but there was nothing that could give us a clue of what was going on. We suspected that there was maintenance on the server. This was soon proven wrong as all the players told me that there was no update to download. Up to this point we were desperate to find out what the problem was. The answer was given to us by the site around four hours later. There was a power cut at the update server so obviously no one could connect as the server was down. Knowing this made us easier to deal with the anxious players. As soon as we told them about the problem, they understood. Some of them stayed there and wait, hoping the server would go up and running again as soon as possible. A word of advice for the provider, they should have prepared for this. The could provide a backup power source at least or maybe have a backup server not in the same building. Going down like that could make some of the players feel angry and could even ended up leaving the game for good.

Nyepi Day

Friday, March 7th 2008 is a public holiday here in Bali as Hindus of Bali celebrate their new year or Nyepi day. Unlike any new year's day, Nyepi day is celebrated with silence, fasting and meditation. From 6.am until 6.am in the next morning, people of Bali will stay home and self-reflect. To help them have the right environment to self-meditate, people of Bali have four main restrictions to be carried out in Nyepi Day. These restrictions include no lighting fires (all lights must be kept low), no working, no entertainment and pleasure, and for some of the people who are really committed: no talking or eating at all.

Nyepi is not only for Hindu, non-Hindu residents also participate in this day of silence as well. This is done to show their respect for their fellow citizens. This restrictions also include tourists. They can still do whatever they want inside the hotel, but they are not allowed to go near beaches or streets, even the airport is closed the entire day. The effect of the Nyepi Day makes the busy and crowded streets and roads in Bali empty, there is no noise from radio or TVs, even inside the home there can be seen little activity. That is why Nyepi Day is also a mean for us to help fight global warming. A day of silence can be experimented all across the world.

To show our participation in this Nyepi Day, Suns.NET will be closed at 3 pm on the 6th of March, the entire day on 7th of March, and will be open as usual on 9 am the day after. For all Hindus we wish you a peaceful Nyepi Day, may this day bring joy and harmony to all human kind.

Telkom Flash

PT. Telkomsel as Indonesia's largest telecommunication firm has launched a new internet connection called Telkom Flash. This connection uses the latest Wireless Broadband Technology or known as 3G. Anyone who has a 3G mobile phone can connect to the internet using this service. You just simply plug in your mobile phone to the computer using the data cable provided. I have tried this using my Nokia 6280 and it worked as a charm. You must first install the Nokia PC Suite. As soon as you connect your mobile it will detect the USB modem from your mobile. A few steps needed to set up your modem. For more information on how to set up the modem for Nokia and other brands you can click here.

I have tried twice to connect to the internet using my mobile phone. Last night when I was connected I got 420.6 kbps, but just now I only got 116.2 kbps. So I think the bandwith you get is really depends on how many users are connected to the same Base Transceiver Station (BTS). To open a page with that kind of bandwith is heaven as the page will load in only 1 or two seconds. But the download speed is the same as ADSL broadband connection or even less. Usually using the ADSL connection, if I download a file from rapidshare with 100 megabytes in size it took 45 - 60 minutes. Yesterday when I tested the Telkom Flash connection to download a 69 megabytes file, it took 60 - 75 minutes. Using 3G connection you suppose to get up until 4 mbps of bandwith. So the connection is not really good for downloading files.

Telkom has offered two types of payment method, volume based and time based. If you are using a pre-paid Telkomsel such Simpati or AS then you will be able to use the volume based. You can choose to pay as you go with the rate IDS 350 per minutes, a 3 hours package for IDR 30,000 or a 24 hours package for IDR 100,000. You can find all the details for packages offered here. If you uses a post-paid Telkomsel SIM card such as HALO you can use the time based method. One thing that you must do before you can use the connection is to subscribe by sending a text message "flash" to 3636.

In conclusion, this internet connection service really useful for people who are mobile and in need of a fast internet connection anywhere they go. All that you need is a computer or laptop and a 3G mobile phone. You have to really think though for the best package you want to use.

The Internet Is Back On!

Thank god the internet connection is back on. After a full day black out yesterday, we finally be able to access international link from 2 AM this morning. The cut off was due to a fly-over construction at Palembang. The fiber optic cable under the sea was somehow broken and PT. Telkom Indonesia has done everything that was in their power to fix the problem. And we are really grateful for that as of this morning the internet connection is alive and kicking.

Something that I learned from this is that we really need to have a backup connection in case something like this happens again. But the cost of having a backup connection is really expensive. For instance I have tried to call our IIX provider and ask for a temporary international connection. The cost for 128 Kbps bandwith up to 256 Kbps is IDR 350,000 per day. The cost is a lot more expensive than the current one. Thankfully that the internet connection is back on so we don't need the backup plan.

Internet Connection Down

The internet connection has been downed from 7 AM. The customer service of our ISP said "Please reboot your modem. If that won't fix it, then try to restart your computer." Then I said, "I have tried both and still it won't connect. I can only access the local link, but the international link is dead." Only then she replied, "Yes sir, there is a problem with the international connection. Can we ask for your number? We will call back after its back on." My god, who is she trying to fool here. I know the connection is down when it is down. I don't need that kind of explaining, I'm only interested in when the connection is back on. Is it really that hard to answer? It is surely not so hard if you really want to answer.

According to Detik.com, the international connection is broken because the fiber optic connection is Sumatera is cut off. How can this happen? It is because there is a fly-over construction in Palembang which cut off the fiber optic. Some important sites such as Google and Yahoo can't be accessed since. There are only few local sites which can be accessed such as Detik, Jawapos, Kompas.

It is supposed that the internet connection will be back on in three hours. It will be redirected using a different link so the international link will be available again. Let's just hope this problem will be fixed very soon for the sake of our Suns.NETter.

Tantra Extreme

Good news for Tantra lovers. The server for Tantra Extreme and Tantra Extreme Ultimate is up and running. Before there was a problem when you make a new account. It always said that we entered the wrong id or the password was incorrect. This problem now has been fixed. So if you want to try to make a new account click here. There won't be any problem logging in. You can start playing the game right after you finish signing up. I have tried to sign up again and already tried to login.

Tantra Extreme and Tantra Extreme Ultimate uses an international server. I don't know the exact location but because this is an international server you have to use international internet connection. This means that players with IIX connection only can't play this game. Try to use dial-up connection, or if you have a broadband internet at home it will be better. The game itself is the same as Tantra. I haven't managed to explore more about the game. The difference is that you can play against player from all over the world making this game a more interesting game to play. Hurry up and sign up with Tantra Extreme as the Tantra world needs your help!

It's Really Hot

For all Suns.NEtter, I would like to apologize because your surfing is a bit uncomfortable due to the hot air you feel inside the internet cafe. Although we have installed air conditioning system, it seems that the cool air produces by the AC can not be distributed evenly through out the room. The room is 4*12 meters, I think putting only one AC is not enough thus from booth number 5 onwards you will feel a bit hot. But don't worry we already called the AC mechanic and have it cleaned on the afternoon. Hopefully it will restore a little coolness inside. If that is not enough then we will turn on the fan to bring you some fresh air.
