You're not paying for exclusive use of their Int'l backbone. You're paying for a broadband connection with the added service of Internet connectivity.
Using your same cake analogy (simplified - both you and I know it's not a fair comparison), since you want it for yourself, there are options called dedicated lease lines.
Single slice of cake - cheaper. Whole cake - much more expensive.
Which last I know, in our region would retail in the ballpark of ~RM2xx to 3xx per Mbps, depending on your commit... yes even in singapore.

While I do not have the data on that, but I do not believe cost structure in KL city is 10-30 times more expensive than anyone else.
Hmm I guess you mean that someone else somewhere else in the world pays the same and gets 10-30x more? Or pay 10-30x less and get the same thing?
Using the 5Mbps package as an example - that would mean either 1) getting 50-150Mbps for RM150/mo, or 2) being able to download at least 600GB-1800GB/mo for RM150/mo, or 3) getting 5Mbps for RM5 - 15/mo, 4) or some mix of these..
