Not ignore areas, but they focus on areas that people are willing to PAY a higher amount when the services start. You put up in an area where people don't want to pay more than RM99, but infrastructure cost to upgrade the area in the regions of RMxxx,000. How leh? Nobody make business that cannot cover cost.

Better to cover important areas where they can pay first, so that by the time they service other area, they can cover cost, package also will be much cheaper when they reach other housing area like mine.

Disclaimer : It's not that i support TM or something, but I'm also feel tulan since my area not covered in HSBB, this is me trying to console myself of the pain.

Yeah. I tested HSBB as well. International sites... faster a bit, but not by much. But if the server is locally hosted in Malaysia. mmg super fast.

I tested during early March. Usually hang out at my cousin's place who stays in TTDI (Lucky *******).

At the moment, as some mentioned, there is a fair usage cap, but not yet implemented, hence you see all the HSBB users are using P2P to the max. New episode of Lost for example, finishes within 15 minutes. Probably since 80-90% seeders are Malaysians.

Lol. Of course la...

Fiber connection you cannot have bent wire leh. Fibre must be straight line. Only copper can be bended kaw-kaw.

Probably will only happen once the entire country has been connected with HSBB. For some areas, still no choice but to use streamyx.

DOn't know why people always compare to singapore. If you want to compare to singapore, let our broadband provider focus solely on Klang Valley ONLY. And yes, if they can focus only on that distrcit/area and disregards the other parts of Malaysia, then yes, we can be competitive to Singapore within a year.

Meaning that the provider, don't need to spend money spread out to ensure that the entire Malaysia (and all exchanges in Malaysia) to be covered with the service.
If the provider only focus on the 30 exchange for the entire Klang Valley only, then prehaps you can get excellent broadband.

I'm not defending anybody, just that if you want to compare Malaysia broadband issue, compared us to thailand and Korea please. At least in terms of landmass, it makes a lot more sense in cost/infrastructure.

I'm still not happy my house not getting the speed, if i could, i would still pay up perhaps the 5Mbps package, it's still tolerable and at least it's a fiber connection rather than plain 15 years copper cable outside my house.

If you look at the packages though, it's FREE calls to fixed line nationwide.

Time to start abusing that, free calls nationwide to fixed line is a good thing.

Besides, like some pointed out, even if the packages are expensive NOW, by the time your areas is able to support HSBB, it might be lower price already. The reason streamyx won't go down, since those areas have no choice but streamyx anyway.

I still don't see how people complain about usage cap and all that when most are downloading illegal stuff anyway. Those that do legit downloads, they limit down the speed, meaning that you've already downloaded over the cap. So you're getting current streamyx download.

And never fear, it's confirmed that streamyx users are also gonna get capped. Other countries are also doing it mah, so we have to follow..
