Yes it can. Distance from tower and the actual hardware (ISP side) plays a whole lot of role giving those speeds. Not to defend YTL, but just saying it is possible. The theoretical maximum speed IIRC is around 70Mbps.

OR? Have to pick one over the other?

Malaysian mentality, always comparing with S'pore. Have you seen other 'first world' internet charges? US for example? Here's one for Verizon.

Let me see... for 4G its USD50 for 5GB allowance and USD10 for every each GB afterward.

That's USD300 for that same 30GB of data.

Oh my it gets worse with smartphones.

USD20 with 2GB of data and USD20 for every GB afterward.

Lemme see, that's USD500 for 30GB of data.

At least last I check YES has the same one single rate for whatever and everything you uses.


Seriously, Malaysian are way too pampered by Streamyx and this is the result. FUP is very normal in any ISP. Otherwise some jackass will keep torrenting day in day out without a care in the world.
