indeed will be lower than RM160 . Minimum of 20Mbps is very good. Hopefully 100Mbps also available and affordable.

Come on, with AirAsia, pigs can fly.

The package is very very possible. Just don't expect to get the same bandwidth for international lines. Don't forget, even the complaints only apply if you don't get 90% bandwidth when testing on TMNet servers, which is local. For local connections, the bandwidth is cheap if they routed everything to fiber optics. It's different case on international lines. So, don't be overexcited about the bandwidth they provide for the price. The complaints and the bandwidth they provide will be guaranteed applied for local connections, not on international connections. Don't worry on this though, I'm pretty sure Malaysians are pretty heavy torrenter so

With this change to fiber optic, they will be able to provide a much larger and more stable service radius compared to using copper line. Remember, Malaysia's policy on broadband is about penetration now, not on high speed. So, moving to fiber optic allows them to achieve the target.

For now, it's testing phase, that's why the testers can get such a bandwidth for international line. They have dedicated lines for HSBB for international line for now. Most likely it'll be merged into Streamyx international line, then it'll all go to slow connection if everyone was to download (then it'll be 20% users using 80% bandwidth again). Then I'm pretty sure there will be up-rage here asking why the heck 20mbps connection only translate to 2mbps connection when downloading from oversea servers.

HSBB is TM product, so is Streamyx. I think maybe they'll convert all users to HSBB after everything is deployed. It'll be a waste of time and energy if they split up between these 2 services.

IPTV, on the other hand, is optional. You may subscribe for channels you want to watch, and with the bandwidth, there will be HD video-on-demand and also more HD channels. Of course, I think IPTV will include those RTM channels, NTV7 channels for free, but for sport channels, it'll most probably require subscription. Same with movie channels. Note that ASTRO and HSBB is not under the same company, so expect some competition here.

i dont know if its a good thing, while you get better ping from local server on hsbb, you actually get MUCH higher ping from overseas compared to streamyx.

Well that was just an Example, even right now the price is unknown. For me i target the 10Mb to be around the Streamyx 4Mb package price.
Well i hope the HSBB come with a good bandwidth cap for an a little higher than average user.

i dont think it will cost more than RM150 .. cause the purpose of this is to increase the broadband penetration ...
who would use if its cost more than what they already paying ...  gov is not thinking of profit ..
they just want to achieve the target ..

govemen also have reputation to keep ... they will get bad name la if the broadband penetration sucks ..

no matter what price, if roll out is slow/delayed then what for?

DSL still beats FTTH anytime if conditions are right.Using VDSL2 is good enough

20 mb for local connection and 2mb for overseas . What's the diff btw HSBB and  current connection . sigh .

Mayb i can open maybank2u.com faster but still buffering with youtube .
