My Opinion: MetroFon/PenangFon is the best provider I have ever used here in Malaysia. I was using them during my stay in Penang for more then a year. RM60 for 2mbps up/down. Can’t beat that now can you damn Streamyx!!

If you realize, many of the providers above only offer up to a maximum of 2mbps and the prices are ridicules. Is there a limitation to what providers can give to end users set by the gov?

metroFon/PenangFon actually uses quite a lot of FOSS based servers. (that’s at least what I know previously)

If not mistaken it too, has some WiFi solutions for broadband.

Today I received another unwelcome spam email, which appars to have emanated from Malaysia. I have referred it to the Aust Communications Authority’sspam section,with a copy to the Malaysian High Commission in Australia. Here is the too good to be true offer with its return path. Until such time as internet servers [and governments] do something to stem the flow of this unwelcome aspect of the internet, it will only worsen.
