QUOTE(Joseph Hahn @ Apr 27 2007, 09:05 PM) So i heard from Buletin Utama. Keng Yaik says it will cost 1.8b Ringgit, over 20000km long, and will be completed by December next year. TM only invested 50m Ringgit in this (lol?) while the rest are covered by other companies. Good news or bad news ?  QUOTE(Moogle Stiltzkin @ Apr 27 2007, 09:44 PM) Summary: Asia-America Gateway (AAG) that will be finished by December 2008 will increase Malaysia's International bandwidth. So expect faster internet connection to overseas. Anyway below is just some interesting stuff to read, enjoy. Malaysia leads plan for US-region cable link Source: http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...16&sec=businessAbout the cables under the sea ( this is a case study about Singapore concerning international bandwidth ) Source: http://james.seng.sg/archives/2006/12/30/s...rs_in_asia.htmlI recommend reading the source as it has pictures showing the cable routes. Anyway interesting stuff. Old news about undersea cables and how earth quakes in Taiwan effect them Source: http://www.blueline.co.id/promotions_events_news/news.htmlIt's quite good that Malaysia is taking the initiative here. So i'm pretty optimistic for 2008 since tmnut is partnering with Verizon to deliver our 4mb broadband, and our international link will get a huge boost in bandwidth. Not only that, but i hear that the government is looking for companys by looking at their performance to see who will be fit to bridge the last mile for fiber optics in malaysia  more news on that would be appreciated.  Before you say something, please look at the time that was posted. 39 minutes difference ?

I swear the thread was not there when i was posting. nm :/ Anyway......................... Just how fast will our internet be  I can think of a few popular things that will be affected. Dota ( for those of us who play on us server with original cd keys *stare ) World of Warcraft ( lots of Malaysians use the Us servers for this. I got a character over there too ) This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Apr 27 2007, 11:26 PM

I read a post in the previous page saying the new connection wont affect us because of our backbone that is controlled by tmnet. Does anyone have any info about our backbone? Like who really controls it and what kind of backbone is it.

RM1.8 billion = RM1800million=RM1,8000,000,000
and tm net just invest RM50million=RM50,000,000
so just RM50/1800=2.777777777777% bandwidth only
1.28 terabits = 1 342 177.28 megabits
if 1 user using 1 megabit on time, so that mean 1342177.28 user for 1 megabit full speed ontime,
but we should be share will all asean country user
and malaysia user just get 2.777% only=37272.26 megabits only.
if malaysia broadband user reach 5 million=5,000,000 user and if malaysia broadband user 1 Million= 1,000,000 user online together
so 1 miilion user online together, 1 user can get 3272.26megabit/1,000,000=37.27kibobits only ontime
so 500,000 user online together, 1 user can get 3272.26megabit/1,000,000=75.54 kibobits only ontime
and maybe year 2008 the user will reach 1,000,000 and we said the 10 % user using broadband link to US:
if 100,000 user online together, 1 user can get 3272.26megabit/100,000=372.70 kibobits only ontime
if 10,000 user online together, 1 user can get 3272.26megabit/10,000=3727 kibobits only ontime
but we need reserve 10-30 % usage for leased line and business user,
so dont happy so early.
malaysia still no enough bandwidth when the user reach 2 million
Added on April 28, 2007, 12:30 pmso we hope not all the user using use all the bandwidth for bt downloading the movies, and reserve some of the bandwidth for online using.

i dont thinking this project can completed in 2008 btw, 1 year to go. then we will know what will gonna happen. however, Most of the users facing DC quite seriously & Fiber Optic is not going to replace old copper cable, then no point for home users upgrading their service. The major problem is higher ur dl / ul speed may facing more DC / unstablability connection. Beside than, upgrading the internetional bandwidth, i suggest they need to change all the copper cable to fibre optic. But other isp offer in USA doesn't able to replace those old copper cable due to HIGH COST. At last, This project is a good move for TM. This post has been edited by Suk: Apr 28 2007, 05:59 PM

this is all talk and we all know that tmnut & lim keng yaek only know how to talk kok all the time. as far as i am concerned this is just vaporware and nothing will come out of it. when our speeds increase and our lines are stable then i will believe it. TALK IS CHEAP!

Well out of the RM50M that TM forked out, there is still RM1.75B to be contended by the other companies.

No idea. That's what i heard on the news.

TALK IS CHEAP! It's not all talk. They signed the freaking agreement already. Same thing with the Verizon partnership. It will take time of course (years), Rome was not built in a day. If by Dec 2008 our speed to USA is still gay, then you can start blaming them.
