I would go metrofon first because it's 66 ringgit for 2 mb unthrottled.

Streamyx 4 mb throttled and cost 198 ringgit. and in a month any newer subscribers will be charged 267 ringgit .......

metrofon in terms of price/performance is much superior.

The sad fact is, it has very low coverage for residential area.... mostly condominiums ;;;;

The government should recognise the last mile dillema and offer some incentive to wire up the last mil with fiber optic.

Whats the point of bragging we got alot of fiber all over when it isn't connected last mile and it's hardly even used ? Kinda waste of $ if they don't go all the way ;

the goverment u say??? they sepakat with TM la....

Just a quick info :

1. Like one forumer said here, it is based on IP DSLAM, not connected to the same broadband server, one of the reason there is 2 outage recently in Klang Valley, they have to shutdown certain DSLAM in order to migrate it.

2. WIMAX ?? Hehe, i got a friend working at wimax provider ( prefer not to say the name ) as their core ip engineer, dont expect everything is unlimited, like other companies, they also want to keep their network stable, yes confirmed from him, once the amount of customers grow, they will do the same as tmnet, throttling.

3. Maxis is only 3Gb, bare in mind.

4. 3km limitation to keep everything in control, otherwise you will get high line attenuation, unstable SNR.

may i know where are you from?
I am RM88 package user but I can't hit 2048..I am 1.5mbps here only but of course when i do bandwidth test i can't get 1.5mbps la..only 1.1~ 1.2mbps here..

huhuhu you guys get free upgrade but i am still on 1mb paying RM88

All in all, dun upgrade lah, since it's useless, what's the point of having a fast connection if you cannot it use it, just like having a ferari on a kampung road.

if u upgrade, not sure there is a t&c like cannot unsubscribe within a year. if yes, better save yr money 198*12 = 2376, put them in bank for FD also good la..

as far as i know, MCMC does not approve WIMAX to be used to create another service provider for internet connection, meaning there will never be any offering of streamyx like service which will utilize WIMAX... anyway off topic already..

Wow. If RM66, 2mbps and most important of all, unthrottled, that will make Metrofon the winner of all ISP hands down even if TmNet gives 4mbps @ RM66.

Even 40mbps RM66 by tmnet also i'd rather go for Rm66 2mbps unthrottle, seriously.

Wasn't there some issue a while back with the governing delaying implementation of local loop unbundling (or in the case of streamyx unbungling) that would have allowed easier access to competitors?

In any case, hopefully some early adopters can come forward with some 4mb latency results before I ultimately give in to the black mailing.

1mb = RM 77 = 50kb with proxomitron and 100kb with VPN
2mb = RM 188 = 100kb with proxo and 150kb with VPN (paid subsciption, RM 30 per month)

4mb = RM 198 = 300kb proxo and 500kb (89% seed ultilization)VPN


there's a chinese Saying, With Money, world will turn.

with 4mb package + paid VPN you get the best deal ever !!!

but is not CHEAP ! 198 + 30 = RM228 Per month

for VPN [URL=http://vpn.s0cks.com/news.php]

even simon know TM SUCKS

Well that is the M'sian government... know how to protect own company, scared of competition!!! Well the blame is to be put on the people, if they have common sense , reshape the parlimen n better things will be done in the country...

guess they motive is conquer and monopoly...u see..this how glc did.so no 1 fight with them to get the marketing money just only them...which mean "INI PERATURAN DAN JANGAN SOALKAN KERANA INI BUKAN HAK KAMU DAN ANDA TIADA KUASA UNTUK MENENTUKANYA" like this...

That is totaly unfair ;

haiz.... anybody seen the corruption index for governments lately. I think were up there just below African nations harhar.

I think our prime minister is a good guy hopefully more effort toward broadband in the country will be pushed to priority agenda

Uh ... i don't like simon cauz his a prick. But on this point we both agree. Die tmnut !

I would go for the 4mpbs package if I they offered it here in Sibu

Can you clarify on that? I still don't get what you mean?

Isn't the whole point of getting WIMAX is to have wireless internet connection or am I wrong?

i think he mean the WIMAX use TM backbone line and it just same with streamyx wireless other than it support far more bandwith.. correct me if i wrong..

Well I get this info from another thread topic on Streamyx Wireless Connection
look at his BT speed ....

this is a rumor i head from a friend of a friend who works at tmnut. he says the new 4Mb package will be THROTTLED since the connections are using the same DSLAMS with all the throttle hardware installed. If this is true, then the new 4Mb connection will be throttled the same like all of our existing connections. So no point in wasting more money to get a faster but throttled connection.
