For RM 88 or S$37, we get 1Mbps plan (advertised rate) in Malaysia. However for S$35, you can get 8Mbps plan from Singnet (http://www.singnet.com.sg/plans_and_services/broadband/snbb.asp?snbb=8Matl).
So what are the reasons broadband is more expensive in Malaysia?
The usual reason given is Malaysia is bigger, so more costs required for cables and other equipments. This may be true in the beginning.
Another reason given is lack of competition. We may have at least 2 nationwide 3G broadband providers, but we have monopoly for wired broadband area.
Please enlighten me :-)
P.S. Try not to complain in this thread, there are many other threads for complaining.

I am having problems with screamyx too.
But to be fair, u cannot compare a small develop country like Singapore with a bigger developing country like Malaysia.
Its time for government to review its policies on ISP services.
I would be laughing if they use "Malaysia is bigger than Singapore" as an excuse. What about Korea, Japan and US? They are bigger than Malaysia.But to be fair, u cannot compare a small develop country like Singapore with a bigger developing country like Malaysia.

The policies needs a change and competition is needed. Companies will work harder when they get a competition.
