agree with goneraz. if they want to charge by rates,

1) no contract. can terminate anytime if not happy with service.
2) p2p friendly. no throttling whatsoever
3) same speed for upload n download. (gamer and anime otaku detected)
4) uninterrupted service guaranteed. stable connection, and no dc unless crittical problems occurred.

Lol wut ?.

No seriously , you need to understand the concept of consumer Internet. surely you can get that kind of service if you are willing to take the enterprise package. That means the Bandwidth is dedicated and if you are within the coverage area you should get superb speeds. ISPs enforce QoS (Quality of Service) and bandwidth is shared among users (a very good example is Maxis). This is because bandwidth doesn't come cheap. It isn't cheap as you think. Its just like the oil , its scarce in resources. Same speed for upload and download. That isn't possible with ADSL. We are talking about Asymmetrical DSL here (3G/4G falls in another category. The maximum upload can be achieved by UMTS is 384Kbps/384Kbps. Now that is symmetrical). As for your last point , It is nearly impossible for ISPs to provide uninterrupted service. Even in any best service. IF YOU need one , you'll be using a leased line. Now that is truly uninterrupted !

Here we go again. TMNet is still the best among the worst. Have you tried other broadband before ?

the most funny thing out of no where was Malaysia ISP business was very competitive, Malaysia has ALOT of ISP, and what? why they cant do anything, who set abc rules to forbidden them to do so?

Exactly. TM knows that small ISPs would be a total failure. Lets face it , who is going to invest on buying bandwidth. It will cost them a lot of money. Heck ,that is why maxis caps their user and limits p2p and blocks many things. This is ensure that nobody hogs up the whole bandwidth\

don't compare localnet lar, compare with other country.

Always compare local thingy only, how to improve?
nut always nut, only like to compare with local product, how sad it is?

talking about 2020?
It's nonsense, nothing gonna change for sure!!

You're talking non-sense. Its people like you that make the country into something else. Surely , TmNet isn't the best ISPs but among the other malaysian isps it is certainly the best. I am happy as I've streamyx (Yes youtube takes ages to load , i can't access some sites and tons of other rants) , but after trying a lot of ISPs in Malaysia. You'll find streamyx is the best. We will have to give them time for TM to improve , it might take some time for them. Surely its not the best. No , I am not a TM supporter but I am just someone who is being grateful to have a "Decent Broadband". You'll learn to appreciate streamyx once you have tried other ISPs.

Yeah. Happy user from streamyx too.

But I feel jealous to someone paying 1Mbps but getting 2Mbps.
(mine only 1.5Mbps)

However, I do not have any peak / non-peak hours all the time stable..

but, I hate the bad routing.

You are being greedy. You should be thankful that you are getting 1.5Mbps when you are paying for 1Mbps. But alas , that is what keep us going. Its the greed

and who build up TM and TMNet to what it is today? all using malaysia citizen money one way or another, and who said all those money should be used executively for TM, and who said/allow TM to monopoly the market? and like i said, when compare thing, lets compare the exactly the same thing, but not compare those who has gov support and those without.

There isn't anything. Well thats governments intervention. There is nothing much you could do and we can't compare any other weird ISPs as they are uh like one by JARING but it is very limited. Well I do agree some of our money goes to TM to improve their infrastructure and other things. But , then you can't compare the ISPs here in Malaysia. Lets see how things goes. This is a very subjective statement.
