Malaysian broadband providers

Ya man, Japan is the current leader in Asia 10 100mbps.

I have to thank the planetLOWYAT for compiling the list.

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.

Sincerely,
Mrs Eva Pedro

hi guy,
b4 u apply for this line,

pls consider my experience 1st.
i giv a fair comment on the service.

currently, i’m using tis service provider line.
the advantage of this connection is u no need to apply telephone line,
so you can save RM26 rental for phone.
So u onli pay for the internet line.
furthermore, the customer service is quite ok compare wit the biggest company.
once you got any problem,
u can interact with them via email.
They might reply ur email. this is the different compare with big company.
But unfortunetl, i always send them email till they dun wanna reply dy.
I sent email to them not for fun.
I got my reasons.
1st of all, i think seldom got company can compete with the monopoly business by GLC.
and i support new cservice provider as i think they may perform better than the current biggest company.
so, i keep in touch wit them frequently and giv them feedback so tat they can improve and growth stronger as we need more competition in the industry.

the disadvantages of the line:
the line will down at least once a month(from my record- i os dunno y.tat y i always send them an email)
sometimes more than that.
for your information,
everytimes after raining,
the line will down for a few hours.
the speed is not so fast as promise.
Streamyx 1M line can get BT download speed up to 120kb/s
Metrofon 2M line can get BT download speed up to 70kb/s
so, i hav no idea who is reliable and they all claim that they provide higher speed.
therefore, u make your own decision.
wanna choose stremyx or metrofon.

now the new name of metrofon is my sentralfon
http://www.sentralfon.com.my

Thanks dude, updated the list

Noted nobody wrote about Maxis Broadband. I’m currently using Maxis broadband, the one with the USB modem at my plc on 19th floor. Not reliable, either u get tortoise speed at times and worse still, you just get disconnected just like that. But on ground level up to 5th floor, it’s ok.

I used streamyx before signing up for Maxis. Boycotting streamyx, slow, lousy cust service, etc. Don’t mind paying if I can get fast & stable service? Anyone knows of any providers better than Maxis?

Glad to be of service dude.

sad to say la, but if you have access just take Streamyx…. everything else is too expensive for students i feel

correct me if i’m wrong….as far as i’m concern..only streamyx can use P2P…with proper setting and knowledge, u can get 80 – 150 KBps dl rate (streamyx 1MB)…and i usually can dl/grab a full movie in less than 5 hours..that good enough for me…and there is no wireless broadband that allowed P2P…if internet is just for browsing and chatting…don’t bother bout a high speed connection…

there is a lot of different between cable/wired and wireless connection…wired connection usually provide faster and stable connection and less data losses…the only adv of wireless is mobility….take a simple example….compare ur fixed line with ur mobile phone…fixed lined won’t give u “no network” or “searching network”….if u are a hardcore internet user…go for wired…increased ur knowledge…read a lot…internet can teach u a lot of things……..by the way i agree that screamyx sucks….

Well dude, I’ve tried many. Sadly streamyx is still the most reliable compared to others.

I have read some comments above and agree that streamyx is not that good as they say they would be. Anyway, i have been using streamyx for 6 years now and they still haven’t get their problem fixed ( always disconnect ) , maybe its the area i live in? If thats the case why din’t streamyx inform me that my area isn’t good enough?Since December 2008 , I have suscribed Maxis 3G Broadband. In the beginning , the speed is okay and the disconnect rate the far apart compared to streamyx, but sometime in March 2009 i don’t know why I couldn’t search any networks in my area. And so i call the customer service and they keep on asking me to use GPRS to connect to the internet ( I could only search for GPRS network at that time) I MEAN C’MON GPRS is like way back in time~! i could only a browser like for 5 minutes lol. After Maxis, i went to Celcom, Lets say Celcom has a lesser disconnect rate compared to streamyx and the speed is the same as Maxis but if Maxis continues to be that time when i 1st suscribe, i would surely be a sincere customer. Up to date i’m still using Celcom Broadband as they claim they have the widest and best speed in Sabah compared to Maxis and DiGi. Lastly, why does Singapore has a better internet service provider? I thought Malaysia got INDEPENDENT before Singapore? Plus Malaysia has Oil to keep their economy running, where has all the money gone? If you say Singapore is a smaller country and its easier to manage, then please compare Malaysia to China~!

Hi, Which one would be the best office broadband? should my company use a dynamic or fixed ip? what are the difference? i have 15 staff currently growing. thanks for your advice
