Opting for small unknown ISPs is a big risk to take.

Unlike large ISPs which has the capacity to handle large traffics with good international routing, small ISPs cannot cope well if they have large number of subscribers. You need massive funds to buy bandwidth and peering won't help if you cannot contribute back sufficient bandwidth to your partners.

The only large local ISPs that have good international connectivity in this country are TM, Time, Maxis, Celcom and DiGi. Each of them have their own good points depending on which part of the continents you would like to access frequently. For example: DiGi is good for European sites/contents but their China connectivity is among the lousiest.

By the way Gigabit Fiber sounds similar to one local hosting company called Gigabit Hosting. Are they the same company? If yes, please avoid.
Even connecting locally, my VPN is using one of their servers. Ping is still tolerable but bandwidth and speed like using Streamyx/ADSL when surfing even Asian servers despite connecting to the VPN with a fibre line. It is that lousy. Not sure what will happen when their subscribers grow will they oversell their lines?

The set up is similar to that of Google's acquired Webpass and YTL's collaboration with FB's Terragraph 5G wireless backhaul tech.
Instead of pulling fibre directly into the building to service it they use high capacity 5G P2P microwave antennas that gets buildings connected within days instead of months.

The last mile solution to each building tenant/subscriber is using wired tech instead.

In the case of Webpass USA, they install gigabit ethernet switches serving every floor of the building and pull CAT6 cables to each home unit.All switches on each floor is controlled by a layer 3 switch within the same building that is linked back to the ISP's concentrators/broadband routers for authentication.

Similarly, instead of installing switches on each floor as ethernet wiring could not travel far for gigabit capable services for future proofing, you can use many other wired technologies in place.

You have GigaWire 2.0 which claims to deliver 1Gbps over short existing telephone wiring or go with the safest solution FTTH(direct fibre to the home).

In this case they opted the most obvious and future proof solution: passive optics to the home.

All they needed was an OLT switch connected to the layer 3 switch which is hookup to the wireless backhaul feed and you've the building serviced with high speed ethernet.

Somehow this solution provided by Google Webpass is even more popular and suited for dense cities than Google Fiber itself. Cheaper and easier to deploy.

I took a look at their routing and peering. Quite good on par with Time Broadband or better. Very diverse with many peers.

Uptime and customer service, that one can't comment.

The name of the company sounds similar to Gigabit Hosting though. Are they related?

The parent company Gigabit Hosting does has a number of diverse upstream providers and it seems to have one of the best China/Taiwan connectivity from Malaysia.

If you access lots of China contents and online games, this is the BEST ISP to use in Malaysia.

Among their major upstream providers are China Unicom Global and the other is China Mobile International.

But there's a concern though. It is one of the THREE Malaysian ISPs to have peering agreements with some Australian military surveillance company named: AS132825 Defense Australia Network

The other 2 Malaysian ISPs which also peer with them are: TMNET and IPServerONE (LowyatNet parent company)?

The also have some weird peers which are into gaming businesses such as: AS131651 loongaming Taiwan

Just some precaution you want to take.

They seem to be peering with questionable online gaming company and Australian spying agency which are big giveaways.
