in australia, there are premium isps and lower tier isps. one city alone has more than 10 isps. for RM230, you can get a 100 Mbit connection bundled with a home phone that doesn't go down when your internet isn't working. also with a huge 500GB cap.
i download 1080p movies regularly and i could barely hit the 300GB mark.
so being capped isn't really an issue in australia, its just how they manage bandwidth with full transparency. unlike in malaysia you have a vague FUP policy. which imo, is much worse than having a capped bandwidth.
Until local ISPs start offering caps in excess of 300GB to 1TB(1000GB) with speeds of 100mbps+, I don't think they are sincere about their initiatives.
Australian ISPs have cap, but they are way more generous at 300GB+ with speeds of over 50mbps to over 100mbps with their NBN plans.
Over a period of 1-2years, Australian broadband will eventually have even more international capacity once the Pacific Fibre gets litted.
Can you imagine a country with fewer population thn Malaysia with the size of a continent getting a 10Tbps link across the Pacific?
Ther'll be plenty of bandwidth made available for them.
and those who brought up pricing.
We should not compare based on currency conversion. There are so many times this has been brought up each time it went baseless but camels keep bringing it up hoping to deceive people thinking that it went forgotten.
Want to compare pricing?
Compare it with our regional neighbours such as Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan...
