ping to USA 10years ago = 200-300ms

current ping to USA = still 200-300ms. KEK

100mbps useless if ping time is junk.

our online content are not big enough to catch up internet speed yet, 100mbps is kinda excessive for the time being. How often we use 100mbps to the fullest? every 2 and half hours we download 100gb?

IMO 10mbps @ 30ms > 100mbps 300ms.

What is the best speed to have for now than?

Whatever your preference depending on your (downloading/streaming) usage.

Ping does not equate to speed.

Well I'm more towards heavy downloading "T" and streaming movies.

Then it's simple. Assuming you are on 30Mbps package now.. if you feel that you're downloading too slow or your streaming keeps buffering WHILE downloading.. best to upgrade.

If you are a patient person, then you can always stay at 30Mbps package.

OK cool what speed are you having?

Constant and low value ping is crucial to gamers. It shouldn't be a concern for you since you're just downloading.

AAG length is 20,000km... straight line, takes around 67ms... off course with booster, interchange off course it will increase... the best is under 200ms... there is no technology right now to reduce around 100ms unless using straight line which is much more costly...

30Mbps; waiting for it to be upgraded to 50Mbps

Yes. Did mine in November. I supposed my next relocation I will terminate and re-apply again.

I have two Internet package are currently using..

4mbps - RM110 per month - hometown
100mbps - RM149 per month - hostel

That's why I always stay in hostel😜

Well, 100Mbps is coming.
Next year, price will be reduced by up to 50%.

Like it or not, TM breaks the world's record by being the fastest to deploy fiber to homes and at the lowest cost.

Even if you put the top ISP in the world they wouldn't be able to solve this issue. It's simply geographical limitation.

If the price is reduced by 50% more ppl will go for more than 100Mbps speed or future 200-500Mbps speed.

it is not the cable that is causing the problem, it is the devices in between them. and Because no R&D has put in improving the switching device latency

it has nothing todo with the geographical limitation, our fiber cable line are fast enough. What slow us down is the switching/ routing devices in between them.

There are not much effort in improvement this area. Our internet can continue to go 1gbps or even 100gbps but the real problem that does not make internet feel fast is the ping time. Gaming, live trading even live chat all these use ping time. May be pretty soon VR too.

300ms may not seems much, but it is actually alot it can add up due to packet travel back and fort.The user experience can be sometimes 1-2 sec delay

Excellent u are rite . What connection speed u are using now?

The latency still same unless they reduce the hops or may try for public dns whereby automatically route to the nearest distance to USA server..like level3 dns

Who doesn't want a good ping?

Unless TM start laying their own international cables and the public start paying MORE for internet this is just another wish list. Most internet traffics still go through a consortium owned cable. Then there's the contention ratio you have to take into account which will affect latency.

There are some rules. For example, 30ms to USA on a residential line you can actually forget it.

DNS is just a service that converts domain name to IP address. I doubt it affects internet speed marginally.

even 30ms on real living cannot achievable where the minimum distance between malaysia and US(most of the content is there) is about 15,000 where minimum latency will be 50ms....

so easy to be pleased

no wonder u still live in cave

our neighbor country are skyrocketing towards 10gbps

do some research be4 tokok can ah?

without consortium there is no way there are enough funds for it

the recent or last few year commision new undersea fibre
