RM is just weak in terms of buying power and the people dont get paid enough. life goes on though, sigh.... what the hey?? 2.5ghz broadband? in east malaysia?! sounds sweet! i bet it’ll come with a hefty price tag though, broadband is expensive as compared with developed nations if you do a unit-for-unit currency comparo.

It is rumoured that TM is still able to roll out WiMax using their 2.5GHz spectrum license, although the 2.3~2.4GHz spectrum is not with TM. As I know, Redtone is one of the company that won the 2.3~2.4GHz spectrum license, and will be providing Sabah and Sarawak with WiMax by the end of this year. sirsc, you can always sponsor me a laptop and I can do a review straight away! :grin:

For those at fixed location, it's better to stick to (unfortunately this is the only choice) streamyx. I tested the service last weekend at Jade Centre (AmBank) last Thursday, didn't check the speed but browsing was smooth (I guess the main reason is not many people are using the service in that area). Props for a free service. I assume traffics of the network is busier at Curtin, hopefully someone from Curtin can review on it.
