COMMENT | Our broadband services leave much to be desired - and our mobile services too.

Let’s not even talk about 5G yet, basic 4G services are inadequate while broadband services regularly perform below par. And if you have a cable problem for your broadband service, you are in deep trouble.

I installed my broadband services some five years ago. The reason I used Maxis was that the Telekom Malaysia (TM) contractor asked for RM800 for installation when the ceiling was just RM200 at the time. Maxis, three cheers for them, agreed to do it for free.

Now, my broadband fibre cable has connection problems, even as I write this, the second time in two weeks. It was installed by Maxis but through a convoluted arrangement the broadband was provided by TM.
