Streamyx

Hi, I upgrade my Internet in Malaysia from 512kbps to 1Mbps. As you know the Internet there is turtle and expensive, unlike South Korea, where most places have 100Mbps Internet for about USD 60. Quite good for the most wired nation. Well here it is RM66 (+5) for the upgraded 1Mbps. They give free 4 months. Then after that RM5 extra. For streamyx, the 2 and 4 Mbps is not reasonable. You also need to use their modem ...The Pear to Pear sites are also given low priority,
=== Torrent will be slowed down.==== Just hope for tm net to upgrade their server to handle more bandwith and have a better infrastructure. Also, the Internet always lags at night. This is primarily because of the amount of users at night, as compared to morning users. The solution? Same as the above
Well let's look at the other ISPs. Metrofone is interesting. They use fibre optics and provides 2Mbps in the form of Ethernet to the Home(ETTH) This means that you do not use the copper line, instead a fibre optic one and no modem is needed.RM 60 is quite ok. Unfortunately it does not provide service to my area and is available to condominiums. MiMax is another option. The 10Mbps is expensive though. This has a usage limit, so if you use more than the quota, they would throttle your speed :(
Let's see how long it takes for them to process our request and provide the 1Mbps Internet service. :D
