The 100Mbps package does not make much sense. Yes, you get 100Mbps, but in practice, that's 10MBps. That's LAN speed (albeit the lower end). Within the minute, you would have burned through 600MB. Within the hour, 3.6GB of your quote would be gone. By tomorrow, bye bye quota.

Of course, that's if you max out your connection 24/7. But I fail to see the current use case otherwise. I routinely use up over 150GB of bandwidth every month, and that's on a 10Mbps line. Which Time will give for less than RM179. And you will get 50Mbps line speed for an hour a day, roughly, which means you will have the high speed when you need it.

Unless you're doing cloud backup, in which case being able to pump 10MBps into your service provider (assuming that your backup service can handle the speed) is a good idea... but then, BOOM! 10% into your 1TB backup, it slows down all the way. Better if you used the 20Mbps line instead. Same price, increased throughput over time.
