Internet connection (Wireless)

Internet connection in Malaysia (part 2)

I never tried to use a wireless broadband before but I have some friends who use those services.

There were four Cellular broadband provider

Celcom, Maxis, Digi, and U Mobile

The speed provided is

ISP	Technology	Package download speed
Celcom	3G, 3.5G (HSDPA)	384 kbit/s, 3.6 Mbit/s
Digi	EDGE	224 kbit/s
Maxis	3G, 3.5G (HSDPA)	384 kbit/s, 640 kbit/s, 3.6 Mbit/s
U Mobile	3G, 3.5G (HSDPA)	1.8-3.6Mbit/s

Wireless broadband is good if you are constantly on the go and need a fast internet connection.

Save the world

Join the earth hour this coming saturday

Cheap sales

Today I went to the grocery store to buy some stuff and I saw this. Selling it for half price only. "This must be a lucky day" I told myself.

It came in two flavor one is chocolate and the other one is coffee.

There were 10 small package nicely packed in the box. I wonder how it looks lets open the package

After opening the package I took the first bite and the taste is awesome. I personally preferred the coffee flavor.

The package also come with a free 100g chocolate cream cookies.

The reason they sell it for half price because the expire date is almost near. As for me I would finish it less than a week. An hour later I went back there and there were only few box left. I manage to bought 2 box.

Internet connection (cable)

Internet connection in Malaysia

In the past 10 years I remember connecting to the internet using dial up connection and it is very very expensive and slow. I have heard that there were case where one disconnected and reconnect to a overseas line and the phone bill jumps like hell.

In Malaysia the current biggest internet provider is TMnet Streamyx, a subsidiary of Telekom Malaysia offering ADSL connection from the basic 384 kbit/s up to 4 Mbit/s.

Fot the 4 Mbit/s speed is only available at Cyberjaya area.

Good news for those that stay at Penang island where there is another brodband company "Penangfon" offering fiber optic connection where the upload and download speed is 2 Mbit/s and the monthly free is much cheaper than TMnet Streamyx.

For Kuala Lumpur and Selangor area there is another fiber optic services "Metrofon" for condominiums and apartments.

Price for internet connection here is quite expensive. Fiber optic connection is still new here and only a few company offering fiber optics for residential.

To bad I'am not staying in the Penang island or else I would personally recommended
"Penangfon". If compare to the connection speed and the price where I have to pay about RM 66 /month for the speed of 512 kbit/s "TMnet Streamyx" and compare to RM 60 /month for the speed 2 Mbit/s
"Penangfon".

There were pros and cons from this two services provider

The pros for "Penangfon" is, long term usage may save a lot of money for those heavy user.

The cons is "Penangfon" is, you have to pay more for the first payment because of the installation fee "can not done a self installation because special tools is need for the fiber optics connection installation" and where one can waive the installation fee for "TMnet Streamyx" and done a self installation "this is very easy actually".

I just hope more fiber optic service provider in the future.
