4Mbps broadband in Malaysia, is it for real?
I know the title is gonna be a joke in a couple of years, but I finally got my TMNut Streamyx 4Mbps broadband to my home today, after applying for it 7 months ago!. Previously I was solely relying on my unreliable Celcom 3G for broadband at home, and while on the road.
I’m not sure if this 4Mbps package is for real, and so I test my broadband speed using speedtest.net, and here’s the result;

Pretty impressive I would say, but when I start downloading from international servers, my download speed rarely exceed 100KBps, which translates to speed of less than 1Mbps.
I guess I’ll just wait for the High Speed Broadband project to become a reality as being recently announced by the government, and see if things do get better.
