i think good news...but the weird thing is, lately , i have no problem accessing the files from US server. i hope the partnership with verizon is not just cakap kosong.

Read history Books pal. They never finish on time. By then, they will give out a lame excuse about it, maybe blaming nature, who knows. All i know is in this boleh-land especially when TMnutz is dorminating,

Nothing is Impossible,
Everything is Possible,

we'll see. by then, this post will be history...LOL

this is truly great news

i soooooo look forward to getting 100Mbps ala South Korea .... with a 2 kb/s throttle on torrents & direct HTTP downloads ala Malaysian style

malaysia : 1 step forward, 3 steps back

Japan: "Fall seven times, stand up eight"

hahaha...

well for one.. TM is just spear heading the project with an investment of 50 million while the whole projects cost 1.8billion..

i would like to know who is the biggest share holder in this project, and that company will be the one controlling it..

anybody got "inside" information regarding this ? please share..
transparency please ...

1.39 Tb of bandwidth.

50 million is a part of 1.8 billion.

Since I'm too lazy to count this night, I shall say uh... we would get around 30 to 40 gigabits bandwidth? LOL

Unless, it is on rental basis, let's see how much profit they will gain.

Sooo 50 million is.... less than 3% of the share(again, I'm too lazy to count, so let me just give the rough value).


Tell me how much does a gigabit costs, and I'll give you how much profit tmnet would gain. Since gigabit link servers cost around 2000 dollars (or less, this is from a thought value, since I found out a 300 to 500 Mb server to cost around 800 dollars), let's think about it then .

How did we end up with the RM 50 million figure? I've gone through all the articles posted here about it as well as The Star. None mention the figure contributed by TM Net. Can the thread starter please provide more clarification?

** Someone already posted an estimation on how much share of the bandwidth we would be getting based on the assumption of RM 50 million/RM 2 Billion ratio on page 2.

Guy, this is true, my company got the job.... and we are going to start it end of this month, sysytem commisioning end of next year.

this had been planned for long time, and it have nothing todo as tmnet listen to user complaint and increase traffic...

oh really? then can you explain why does it take more then one year to complete the job?

come on man, 20000km of submarine cable across south china sea and pacific ocean, and there is 7 country in south east asia, means 7 station. another 3 in guam, haiwaii and US. with a lot of terminal equipment and testing. you dont expect it to be finish in one month ok?

remember the malaysian chinese more hard working that japanese, the chinese can start working 6am untill 10pm
unlike us... cant use for me and all the hard working malaysian but can use for the lazy slowmyx engineer.

This sound like good news. Streamyx has been good for me recently.

All i can say is tmnut is a godamn stingy arsehole...
they suc our $$$$ so much and they only contribute so little
$$$ for the project....

I really have doubts for tmnut's sincerity to solved the
international link's problems afterall we user's are
the one who pay for the bills not tmnut...

Do you know how hard it is to lay fibre across the oceans?

What are you trying to say?

They are paying 50 million USD. That is 10% of the cost. The previous claim of 50 million ringgit was wrong.

I think TM is doing the right thing. The way intercontinental cable systems work is that major telco operators SHARE the cost of construction and maintenance of the network. So, since the cable is expected to run from SE Asia all the way to the West Coast of the USA, paying $50m is proportionate to the SHARE of the bandwidth that TM will get. Bear in mind that bandwidth allocation is also a function of reciprocity i.e. how much traffic originates and terminates between destinations.

glad to know that the project is heading to the right direction..

there is still hope for malaysia.. lucky isnt not Telekom who do the work, if not 2020 also not sure can complete or not..

anybody know where i can find a cross-cut diagram of a submarine cable ?

here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable
I'm just hoping TM can unthrottle the P2P after the cable is done.

I'm trying to be really optimistic here but i don't think i am because my toes will start laughing once they get started. This is because i am wondering to which company TMNET has sub-contracted the work to.

It's hard not to see or IGNORE the facts when/if they award the contract to a sub-contractor minus an open tender. Heck, even an open tender is also open to corruption as you invite non-bumi/non-family related companies to tender the job just to make things look good.
