UTP STANDS FOR UNIVERSITI TENET PERLAHAN  

Posted by theDirector


"Boy, try la masuk utp. utp bez giler.ada internet, ada orang share2 movie. kalo orang nak bagi akak stay lama2 kat utp pun akak x kesah."

A quote from my sister 3 years ago.

To tell u the truth, this is one of the many reasons why i pursued my study at utp. Got internet access, filesharing, mirc etc2...

So, let me list down what are the things that probably differentiate utp with other colleges and universities:

- internet access. we got LAN and wireless. how cool is that?
- Filesharing. We use DC++ to share and download movies, softwares (even porn) among the students. TV? Lame.
- chatting community. we have k5, mirc, forums etc2 so that students can flirt around

Sounds cool? NOT REALLY. here's why:

- what's the use of internet if it's very SLOW??? I mean, 10 seconds to load google page??WTF?? wifi? even worse. NO signal, NO connectivity, NO NOTHING!
- forget the internet. i still can live with DC++. But since ITMS(i describe them later) decided to ban it, i can't download any movies! So, all i can do in my room is just sit back and watch the same effing movie that i downloaded months ago. pffftt...
- chatting? what chat? ITMS also banned this one. now i can only chat with my roomate.zzzz

ITMS(Idiocracy Towards Man and Society) is a body that manages Utp's internet connection. So, they claimed that DC++ caused the internet to be slow. Eff that. the internet still slow even after DC++ was shut down. Great. Making my life even worst.

After been bombed and curse and fingered by the students, finally ITMS came to their senses and improve their internet connection. they also removed the filter, which means i can stream youtube and redtube.

Credit to them for that, but still, is this gonna last long? Are they sure they're doing the right thing? DC may be seen as an entertainment purpose, but some students also share important notes and sources for our studies. And MPP, don't just do meetings and gain nothing. HELP US. Appreciate our votes for you.

So, do i regret studying in UTP after knowing that their facilities sucks? No, i still like this place, but not the same as before.
