QUOTE(oumind @ Apr 19 2009, 10:19 AM) 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). Hm? where else in the world can you get broadband for Rm66 (US$18) a month?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. |
