Don't blame him. Blame TM for not implementing reasonable caps like 200GB. Instead of doing that they decided that throttling p2p and video file downloads is a better option to caps.

Where can you find 1TB of new porn every month?

Seriously though, do you even have time to watch 1TB worth of shows everyday?

Normally I am able to reach 60GB a month, since I usually stream youtube, stream online HD FM, loading lots of art gallery + minor p2p DL. I think by next year July the cap should be(hopefully be) much higher than the current one. At least they should give enough for minor p2p download + youtubing + Streaming HD FM. Until then I gonna enjoy the unmetered line

Thanks to Riz and Tentris, saw my comments in the pdf on unbundling local bandwidth. Not quite the response i expected anyhow good to hear they already thought about it and seriously considering it. The big IF is whether it's gonna ever happened and when.

Been working in big GLC's before i understand the obstacle/challenges of being a captain and lieutenant to push through your vision through to your own people hindering the good services to customers. politicking, bickering, red tapes etc.

Well it happens in multi-national as well. I'm very sure when a CEO is prepared to meet the community/customers rep it's not just a cheap PR as the stake is very high. They better live to their words. I don't know much about TM though

Great effort guys and thank you.

aside from the security issue which is a real concern i'm blessed with a good unifi service to date . I can always maxed out my VIP5 on wireless connection while watching IPTV and making VOIP calls. My 2nd DIR 615 work flawlessly even without switching off for weeks. Cheers

Seriously, I don't see how my post is trolling as much as yours. You forget that Asian refers to more than just Singapore, Japan, Korea, etc. Malaysia can't be compared apple-to-apple with Singapore, because we are just not there yet. While there might be reasons for the high price in Malaysia, pointing out that in Singapore it's cheaper RM-wise is a straw man argument.

They argue that Singapore is cheaper to connect due to its small size and population. Even when compared against Australia a country that's very large with a population of 22 million, we still cannot compete.

I don't really want to argue when people already have a preconception on the state of broadband, but I'll bite.

1) Australia is a developed country
2) The map below shows ADSL coverage in Australia (for 2007, sorry I can't find any newer ones). As you can see coverage is limited to cities, where the 22 million population are concentrated
3) Broadband in Australia are of course capped
4) Some of the "cheap" price for broadband is only for bundled packages. In the case of Telstra, you would need to subscribe to their other products to enjoy the cheaper rates, e.g. mobile, telephony, etc. If not the price for the quoted 200GB cap plan is around AUD 100 (~RM 300)

Note that this is just a quick & dirty comparison. I might be wrong, but it's better then just putting up generalised statements.

dont compare other countries .. be gratefull to what u have here ...

Of all the ISPs in Australia you would of course choose the worst ISP tthere to put your point forward. If like that then better I use Maxis to compare with Telstra.

Also about your coverage area, Malaysia's coverage area for peninsular is still very small compared to what you shown on the map. Sabah and Sarawak, no need to talk because majaority cannot afford broadband.

Thanks for all the comments guys. It does seem like we've exhausted this thread.

TM has promised many more discussions with customers in the future.

If i happen to be invited to one, i'll make sure to get the community as involved as i can, just like this last meeting.

Cheers.

Well despite all that TM is still the best ISP in Malaysia. JUst look at Maxis,p1, these kind of ISP shouldnt even exist at all.

I cant blame TM for monopoly but it seems that we just got enough stupid/dumb ISP in Malaysia that makes TM actually the best.

TM is a GLC company. It is one of Mahathir's vision company where government will create a law to protect their family, friends and so on. Naza, TNB are the examples. The one that is to be blamed is the people that support this type of government. I don't think I saw or read anywhere that people sue these company.

TM is to blame for the horrible excuse for Internet that we Malaysians have. Don't try to make excuses for them or tell yourself otherwise.

When the decision was made to "gift" the last-mile to TM, TM themselves had only been in the ISP business for about 2-3 years. Jaring on the other hand had been around for about 6 years, had better infrastructure (not counting the last mile) and obviously much more experience in the form of MAL, Big Mac, and a number of "pioneers" who had actually worked to bring the Internet to Malaysia. No "official" statement has ever been made as to why the responsibility of handling the expansion of the Internet in Malaysia was given to a sub-par company that was leaking money out of its ass - and has continued to do so up till today even though it has the monopoly.

As to comparing TM to Maxis/P1, you are comparing apples to oranges. A wired ISP should ALWAYS be better than a wireless ISP... even a horrible excuse for an ISP like TM.

TM only knows how to suck our money! If they are not supported by the government! They are long gone! So next election! Vote for opposition and hopefully see a better change in our ISP!

On the other hand, Maxis is also a horrible excuse for a Wired ISP. Look at the amount of cap it has given for the FTTH, it is about the same as what P1 'fake' 4G is giving out on its airwaves

If I was a local wired ISP with my own last-mile like maxis, I would give the exact horrible service maxis is giving right now. I "own" my own last-mile therefore users have to choose between my capped but stable FTTH... or horrible P1 bad service when it rains with a cap anyway.

TM will never be able to provide service on my last-mile (until the day I can provide service on "their" last-mile)... so I have no "real" competition and my customers have no "real" choice.

At the end of the day, TM having the monopoly is still the root of the problem.
