Lucky you got fast internet speed 6mbps in my country only got up to 2mbps for consumer. Corporate can get up to 100mbps but they pay almost 250k US per year for that service.

There is no choice for my country isp. We are a small and urban country with almost 80% internet pentration. The isp have to play the speed and price game if they have retain their consumer

3G connection ah?? Is it expensive in your country? It is quite expensive in my country. The initial montly fee are quite cheap but it only bundles 1gb of data transfer (meaning up to 1gb worth of upload and download). If you exceed that, the metering for the data transfer will be crazy

And I find that the 3g connection is only adequate for websurfing and youtube. If you try to download stuff, it will be very slow

When WIMI start to be popular due to the speed, lower fee and bigger coverage area, many people will turn to this feature. Don't you see this is part of competitor to ADSL when almost all people start switch from ADSL to WIMI?

Which 3G system you are using? Celcom or Maxis and which part are you in? USD68 or RM68 per month ?

[animecrunchy]

Muar already have Celcom 3G coverage,Maxis and Digi i don't think have. I also using celcom 3g for my daily surfing but i use staff package for celcom so fee only RM50 only per month. Celcom currently don't cap your connection and limit data you can download and upload. In their fair usage policy mention 5GB limit per month.
