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.

What lah…. all the ISP served in one area - Klang Valley. How about Southern, Eastern and Northern area.. It’s stay these area people no need Broadband!!!! Yes… we have broadband service but all is lousy ISP…e.g. “Covered area only for this Taman…”, “You need to wait for 7 days to let us checked any available…..”

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

I think you should add http://www.infolient.com to your list and P1 Wimax. The best deal out there has got to be from infolient with a monthly subscription of only RM59 with speeds up to 1mbps.
