well at least with the HSBB launch we will be out of the 1MB era, our neighboring countries are now talking of 24mbps minimum, and we are still going like "wow" for a 1MB connections from all kind of telco's to ISP, enough of taking us for a ride, we want the real thing.

In case I was not clear, in my example, the base package price is RM90.You have to pay that minimum.  Each additional 50Gb you want, you pay RM30 on top of the base price. So there is no RM30 package.

Reasons for doing this way could be:

1. they are serious about increasing broadband usage in the country.
2. they want fair usage for all users
3. they want to curb online piracy
4. they want to ensure less network congestion
5. they can earn more from heavier users (ie pay per usage method) and hopefully improve their network or international link capacity. As time passes, they can even consider increasing the quoatas depending on how much capacity they have

i think most of y'all got it wrong

when capped, it doesnt mean that they block your connection

they just REDUCE the international speed for your ip...

reduce doesnt mean that you cant download at all...you can still still do p2p, only the international speed will be throttle down...i've been told that they will reduce around 512kbps...

local doesnt affect cap limit...
