I'm pretty sure that the monthly cap has been removed. I do agree though that internet here is ridiculously expensive, and it's all because of the monopoly that TM has on last mile cabling.

QUOTE(zerorating @ Mar 29 2010, 11:13 AM) how sure u are? True enough. But its a start. Of course, when they say no capping, they never mentioned no throttling...they only say no cap 4 now(beta testers), not 4ever(potential customers)  This post has been edited by v1n0d: Mar 29 2010, 11:16 AM |

QUOTE(alucard_my @ Mar 29 2010, 11:17 AM) They're the only service provider...what to do? Luckily I'm staying in a condo and am using TIME Broadband. No cap. No throttle (download torrents at 200kb/sec) and pay RM99 for a 2mbps line. Pretty steep, but at the speed I'm enjoying, I have no problem. Broadband is no longer a luxury, in fact it is slowly becoming a neccessity. The US has acknowledged this by proposing a national broadband project, aimed at making 10Mbps the national average speed received. Fact is, as long as TM maintains their monopoly, the overpricing of internet services is here to stay.Will there be even another true 'competitor' to TMNut? I don't think so. Wireless is still long way to go...so we'll have to bite the bullet and pay the high cost of getting connected. |

QUOTE(ozak @ Mar 29 2010, 11:31 AM) Maxis do have HSBB and they doing some testing now. I guest maxis is waiting tmnut launch and see how consumer respond and pricing. But the catch is the monopoly on last line cabling. Let's hope that TM isn't draconian with the rental cost. |
