Malaysian Broadband

Today I read from TheStar that Information, Communications, Culture and Arts Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim directs the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission(MCMC) to investigate why the cost on IT service is high.
I feel curious that the high price on IT service(on broadband services) has exists for more than 8 years and now the government just mentioned the issue.For example,the high end broadband service for home-Streamyx 4M combo will cost people RM160(US$48) monthly,but it only provides 4Mbps for downlink and 512Kbps for uplink.All right,we won’t go far.We only pick up our neighbor-Singapore’s broadband services as the references.
| Singtel | Starhub | |
| Downlink: | 15Mbps | 8Mbps |
| Uplink: | 1Mbps | 768Kbps |
| Monthly fee: | S$59.90(RM149/US$44) | S$59.92(RM150/US$44) |
| Remarks: | Free IPTV and movie channel for 12 months | boost up to 100Mbps on partner’s sites |
I pay at almost equivalent amount,but get only 1/4 speed.I hope the Malaysian government could know why soon and take quick actions to eliminate it.Well,I don’t bet on it much.
