I am back. Back to the usual ways of sitting in front of my personal desktop, cruising and serving through the internet at my own pace, relieved of the hectic and will-make-u-deaf-shouts-and-curses CC atmosphere that had been haunting me for the past few months in KL. I am so back.
And for now, for nooww, I would like to thank iZZinet for that. Yes, for now.
Because they supply you with internet connection immediately right after you subscribe (and of course paid a hefty amount of cash). It is so immediate that I hardly believe that I was returning back to electronic civilization once again. As for suckmyx, why bother.
Lately, alternatives for broadband internet had been booming like mushrooms in M'sia. It is just that many of us that are ignorant of it and probably the infinite blinding amount of ads by TM that causes them to monopoly the internet sector.
And it is time to look beyond and change.
Apart from iZZi, 3G technology is becoming popular here, with the mobile operators here offering much choices, but of course with limited access here and there. Then, there is are some companies like Jaring and Time, which provide similar services, albeit, yet again, limited access.
And so on, so on blah blah blah. Point is, just browse around and we can find these options available and consider the best for your area of access.
To further know what is good for you, it is always advisable to read and post questions in forums. It serves the information that we need to know, instead of just being influenced by the sometimes exaggerated and tempting promotion that the salesperson offered.
Back to iZZi, it is a good, if not better, alternative to Streamyx. Considerable speed, 1.0Mbps (of course it's on best effort policy), claimed to be throttle-free for downloading and stable connections (prior to this blog). The major roadblock is definitely the paying system, which they require customers to pay 12 months upfront.
Apart from the mess-up part, it can be considered if you are frustrated with the very "stable" connection of wired broadband service or simply waiting too long to get the service or you are living too high up to get 3G mobile broadband.
Please note this is no advertisement or being overly-critical, just giving my two cents. Will update to give more feedback on this.
