I live in Dhaka myself and is often terrorised by two freaks of the nature (well, not really from the nature, but freaks anyway). One is the terrible power outage that happens out of no where and another one is the despicable bandwidth our ISP's provide. I hope this will clear our our frustration a little bit.</p> Thats an awesome news.
