Sewers bring high speed broadband to you

Recently, I read a news article that surprise me. High speed broadband comes from underground via the sewers? A company from UK, H2O Networks has been in negotiations with water firms for the last five years and began rolling out its fibre-via-sewers network known as FS Focus System (Fibre Optical Cable Underground Sewer System) in 2003. Universities in UK like Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Bournemouth are enjoying high speed fibre connections with speeds of up to 20Gbps while council offices around the UK are also benefiting from this high speed broadband. H2O Networks plan to roll out its Focus next month to move to a new phase which could see it supplying high speed fibre networks to businesses and consumers around the UK.

Using the sewers for fibre is not new. Country like Japan has a fairly widespread sewer-based fibre networks. Laying fibre through sewers is an alternative good way to avoid digging up the road. The roll out of fibre through sewers will shorten the deployment time. There is also a huge cost of reduction in benefits. With this benefits, I hope consumer will get cheaper broadband.

Can Malaysia Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides cheaper and high speed broadband through sewers?

Can Malaysia celcos use cell towers to locate users?

Recently, I had read a news regarding Google Maps with My Location. Google has launched a location service for mobile users that doesn’t rely on GPS. This service is currently in beta. Users can be located on their location to a nearby cell tower without having to own a GPS-enabled cell phone.

Back to the title above. Do you think that Malaysia celcos is capable of doing that? If they are capable to provide this service, do you think they should charge a small amount of service fee on this? With this service in Malaysia, I can say the rate of missing people and person got kidnapped will be lesser.

Download Torrent while you at work with Deluge WebUI

Do you want to download BitTorrent while you stuck at work? Would it be really nice if you could access your computer at home through your web browser to download BitTorrent from your office. This is simple. I am going to share this to you. You will need to install a Linux distribution on a spare computer you have. If you do not have a spare computer, don’t worry. Get VMware Server and simply install a Linux distribution as the VM guest. I am still using Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop Edition as the VM guest. Next, install the popular Deluge (a popular full-featured lightweight cross-platform BitTorrent client) in Ubuntu. You can use Deluge in your Windows PC but I would recommend you to use Deluge in Linux. The major changes for 0.5.6 version includes Web User Interface plugin which I have been waiting for. With this plugin, I can now download Torrent from a web browser. That’s cool. You need to configure a port-forwarding in your router. You may need a DynDNS service if your ISP is providing you a dynamic public ip addresses.

Enable and Configure Web User Interface plugin

  1. Run Deluge, click Edit then click Plugins, check on Web User Interface.
  2. Configure the port number, password, template and button style by clicking Preferences button for this plugin.
  3. Launch your favorite web browser (e.g. Firefox). In the address bar, type the following: -
  4. http://ip_address_of_your_deluge:8112

  5. Login with your configured password and start adding Torrent to download.
