Received the adv today from my mailbox, the provider is Metrofonwww.metrofon.com.my), which currently offer 2Mbps download/upload for RM60 per month only (for limited condos only)

Has anyone try their services?

are they blocking P2P??
it is the important question!!!!!

well, it not a important question. the more important is do they provide speed like what they advertise? u won't subscribe this is it just 512k but advertise as 2mb.

but their website still advertise as RM 95 per month. are you sure the rate is Rm60/month??

Aiyo, using the 512Kbits speed with a price of RM60, is cheaper than the screemyx RM66 package la.

By the way, where is it available, i think this is a branch from Penang Optic Line provider.

Well, other than those mentioned, another important factor is the service availability in our areas.

Locations around Klang Valley

http://www.metrofon.com.my/ps(sa).html

Using it , its Optics / metroFon / PenangFon , all the same , just in different location

BT is limited to 30kb currently (according to the technical person, he say they are undergoing maintenance to upgrade the line) so might be slow... have to wait few more weeks and see

Yes but most of the them new ISPs are only available in condos, so normal house users won't be able to subscribe anyway.

I noticed they are using a 202.73.x.x IP and I did a ping from my home Streamyx connection, the latency was about 190ms which would be bad for gaming even for local servers because most game servers in Malaysia are hosted using TMNet's connection.

Yea, they wont do any good in gaming , but I not really have a problem with that as I can play LAN game with it , yeah meaning all those who subscribe is actually connected together (and can also share file) now everyday play LAN game warcraft

For those who want to play online games like WoW, CS etc ,better ask to see how first , as I still dont know (just apply few weeks ago) and try some Malaysia hosted CS , lag like hell

its very good for the first time i subscribed last year... easily can reach 100+ for downloads...but as months passes by.. their performance dropped sharply.. and i've emailed them numerous times bout it..and they said that they're running out of bandwidth supplied by the other ISP which could be either NTT Japan or Jaring MY ... they did say they're trying to negotiate something to work things out for both sides..

LETS HOPE SO !

when network are clogged...drop in speed is predictable...

Wow thats nice to hear I also receive the same reply , upgrading ... and I know their backbone is NTT japan as trace route always go thru there but Jaring? hmmm, I thought Jaring go through TM backbone?

What I want now is higher download and also can play online games Thats I hope for

Although I admit the monthly fee is cheap, the equipments and deposit are freaking expensive!

* Fiber Optic (FTTH)
2 Mbps Upload/Download Unlimited Internet Access
Installation fee of RM120
Monthly fee of RM60
Fiber Modem RM450
Deposit RM180 for 3 months
Minimum subscription of 1 year

Dont have the FTTH , only ETTH available

ETTH dont have to buy the Fiber Modem As the routing already done on your apartment/condo ,etc , so yeah, this service only available on apartments/condo etc , not single housing area

If the line is stable, is a gd choice for us 2choose...more option open for us 2evaluate also

Hows this line? Any one recommend?

no , dont subscribe , they sux, always down n download speed around lower than 10kbps , their 2mbps is one condo sharing 2mbps , this is the truth

game : WORST ( local server for around 200+ ping )

BT : nightmare ( maximum is 3kbps)

Ya! its really sug like you 2 weeks ago but now i am happy with their speed. Seem like they kept their promise.

Can anyone tell me why my online games is lagging when i had BT or torrent running background? if i terminate my torrent then the online games is smooth.

Which area you are? I'm also having a same issue from the pass few weeks especially for the BT download. But these few days is quite OK for me. Some time can reach up to 50KBps. Maybe you should make a call to their support center and ask them to check your connection. Maybe is their crappy cable caused the issue..
