512k can already dl >100GB pm and you get only 90GB!!!

At the end of the day, its just going to matter if your situation matches the package you want. If you like to leave you PC on 24/7 and download tons of 'stuff', then go ahead and stick with the 4mbps Streamyx ADSL packages.
I have been happy with my 4mbps network speed but I've been thoroughly dissatisfied with its implementation. While I get 3.5mbps, my line is capped below 4mbps physically at the ATM link because of the aging copper in my area. If it's capped any higher it causes non stop disconnections on the ATM link. Why should I continue to subscribe to something that disconnects all the time when it rains and expose my whole copper wired gigabit network at home to lightning strikes over and over when I have a better option? It's so bad that I had to buy a separate phone line just for another ADSL link to Jaring -- and it's not a problem with TM, it's a problem with the laws of physics and using oxidized, exposed copper wiring.
I don't use more than 120GB of bandwidth a month, I just want a connection that's always on, is fast (so I can pick up my small TV shows ASAP), has low latency and doesn't run on copper wires from the Japanese occupation era. I don't want shitty Wifi/Wimax based services where I have to literally share the line with everyone in my area and put up with 80-100ms base latency simply because of its implementation regardless of how much bandwidth they want to throw at me.
TM monopolizing the network is one thing but if you guys aren't already aware of this, bandwidth in Asia costs A LOT. It costs so much that Runescape scrapped its plans to host a server in Singapore back in the day because it was just too bloody expensive. You can say that if we have more competitors, the pricing will go down. That's true but eventually you'll hit the rock bottom pricing where they have to make a profit and still manage to pay for all the bandwidth you heavy downloaders use for Bluray pornos (don't dispute this fact with me, I used to run one of the first few torrenting services here on LYN

).
This package is new and I'm hoping that once the HSBB network gets properly built, either caps will be increased or we'll be allocated more bandwidth. Either that or they can just ignore local bandwidth so we can cut down on our international link usage.
If I really wanted to download a 200GB file for whatever reason, I'd just pick up a colocation package with 1000GB of bandwidth at Jaring's IDC at Tech Park Msia.. hook up my laptop to their gigabit network and download at 10-15MB/s.
