A 20 mbps connection still needs to buffer and load Youtube videos!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Our only hope is for Google to setup servers over here.
We should just force TM to sell its internet division to Google.  We'd be a lot better off.

i doubt google will.

unifail is just like u have a super fast car, but u only drive it with 1st gear lol.

unifi, the so called high speed berukband

the ping is fuuuuu

And my speedtest to Australia...


So, no different when you on HSBB or not but pings still the same...?

no matter what, tm still screw our international routing.

i think can...but no way TM allow other telco to use it

Err,  other telcos (celcom/digi/maxis) are actually using TM backbone. Heard this from my friends long time ago, who happen to be an engineer in telecommunication industries. 

I don't know la if today they already can built their own infrastructure. But all on all, they still need to pass-through TM in any ways bcoz TM is the pioneer of Telco industries in Malaysia, hence many tower/base-station is build by TM.

It is so called 'TM WHOLESALES' back before. They just buy bandwidth from TM.

Since the line is using money from government ...
Does other telco can use it too ??

I think a lot of users take the cost of international link for granted. The lines are EXPENSIVE. It's not as cheap as 1mbps for RM88 per dedicated line. I'd estimate about 100mbps for USD150,000.

From TM's POV,

• they would be able to cover the cost of the lines in about 5-7 years return period if they continue to charge @ this rate.
  
  
• If every user uses the bandwidth 100% all the time, they would be forced to increase the international bandwidth, and this would induce a much longer return period.
  
  

Why Singapore can have a much lower charges for internet? It's because they collaborated in a lot of projects for laying down cables, and they are willing for a longer return period. And they have more competitors. (Yes, there's monopoly here)

What does this imply?

• The investors of TM want their invested money back, in a shorter period of time.
  
  
• The investors do not see the long term benefit
  
  
  
  
  1. Cheaper internet, leads to
     
     
  2. More userbase, leads to
     
     
  3. More local user hosted content, leads to
     
     
  4. Save international bandwidth in return
     
     

So, they charge us at a higher price and imposed a cap so they won't need to increase the international link too fast.

We, as the users,

• Want a more reasonable price (Paying for 2x the amount isn't going to cut it).
  
  
• And most of the user want to use what they paid for 100% of the time. Hence, they go to full downloading mode, even downloading what is not really needed (and bragging "Wee, I've a 2 TB HDD and it's filling up too quickly!! Need moar!").
  
  

So, in conclusion, my point is:-

• We, as the user, have the responsibility to help with the situation too. Please DO NOT download all the unneeded things, and in the end not using it.
  
  
• If you really can download 1 TB per month (That's 100 Blu-Ray movies, or 100 games) and can use all the downloaded content, I'd say "Dude, get a freaking life."
  
  
• TM, as the ISP, should provide the service at a cheaper rate to encourage higher BB penetration. Please do look at the long term benefits (as stated above).
  
  

i agreed with u.. but i think alot of ppl not..
