Search Engine Giant- Google has launched their free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service. The DNS protocol is an important part of the web’s infrastructure, serving as the Internet’s phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day.

By using Google Public DNS you can:

• Speed up your browsing experience.
• Improve your security.
• Get the results you expect with absolutely no redirection.

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web.

• not support 3rd party software

I’ve just tested the Maxis Wired Broadband. The subscripted package is 1Mbps.

The package include a Aztech 605E ADSL modem.

During peak hour ( 7pm ), i’ve performed below test.

The result shown that it can reach more than 80% of the maximum speed, which is quite good. Perhaps it is due to in whole Perak state, only this residential area is available for Maxis Wired Broadband service.

I’ve heard that during non peak hour, the speed might reach more than 1Mbps. Hopefully Maxis wired broadband will be stable than TM Net Streamyx…
