I'm a Canadian living in KL and I can safely say that Streamyx is the shittiest internet I have ever used. Not only do you actually pay even more than we do in Canada, but it's also 50x slower. 5mbps cable in Canada is about 50 bucks a month and it works.

I've been here 2 yrs and the internet is about the only really bad thing I can think about with Malaysia. It actually hurts the economy really badly.. how can anyone conduct business here when they can't even load anything or buy things online? It's no wonder Malaysian e-commerce is about nil. TMNet's monopoly is really shameful and it's amazing everyone is just letting it go unchecked.

How long can you handle being puppets for the government? I know in Canada, it wouldn't take long for public displays of anger..

I'm quite aware of it and so are a lot of malaysians i've spoken to. I don't want to get into a political discussion but from what I have heard people are more and more aware of it so hopefully with time the government will be cleaned up through the voices of the people. TM is a shining example of all the BS in the government...

Malaysia deserves a lot better.

ok back to b****ing about TM..

today was really fast compared to normal.. what a miracle!
