Welcome to Redesign Malaysia: For Better Broadband, For the Rakyat. - Internet, Broadband, Malaysia, WiFi, Wireless, WiMax, Streamyx, Jaring and more…

This website is an initiative to improve Malaysia’s broadband facilities. It contains a broadband coverage map, articles on Malaysia broadband, comparisions of internet service providers and feature articles.

Redesign Malaysia is an initiative to improve Malaysia's broadband internet penetration, quality and reliability.We aim to achieve this through the compilation of relevant news articles, allowing users to have a voice, enlightening consumers on the options that are available, providing comparative statistics on ISPs, as well as the production of special features and commentary.


It is designed to be a community effort, to utilize information and feedback from broadband users and potential customers across Malaysia. We also aim to gain cooperation from the various broadband players in Malaysia, as well as support from government agencies and regulators.


Currently, we are focused on the Klang Valley, however in time we aim to expand this initiative nationwide. Let's all collaborate - to make fast, cheap and efficient broadband available throughout Malaysia.

People dissatisfied with TMNet Streamyx

RedesignMalaysia.com Service Quality Uptime TM Net Streamyx Consumer

Found this recently on The New Straits Times - on the same day that we launched RedesignMalaysia.com, Ian Miles Cheong from Ipoh’s letter to the New Straits Times was published. He says:

Ian Miles Cheong in the New Straits Times: As a subscriber of the Streamyx service who pays RM66 a month, I feel I am not getting my money’s worth with the speed or line quality provided. Despite the fact that my Streamyx subscription is advertised as being a “1mbit” connection, I am only able to get 5-10 per cent of the performance most of the time.

In fact, I am unable to download movies, listen to music or even surf web sites because of the slow speeds.
What happened to all the promises about bringing high quality broadband Internet service to all Malaysians?

Read the full letter at The New Straits Times : Time to buck up, Telekom

There’s more dissatisfaction online as well…

Suanie.net has a list of Bloggers Pissed With Streamyx. It covers several posts from different bloggers on connection problems, activation problems, and general rage.

Suanie.net: No, this is not an April Fool’s joke. The reverse, actually. I thought I’d make a list of all the recent complains by bloggers on our much loved and hated Streamyx. You know, because I can.

Paul of PaulTan.org says that Streamyx is pointless, and continues to add the following:

PaulTan.org: Incompetent fools. Never have I seen such widespread performance degradation before. Connections to servers that have local peering like racks in Netmyne and Jaring are also affected. So it couldn’t be an issue of international link. Submarine cable snapped again? Aliens kidnapped the DSLAM switches? Pet goat ate your router?

I’m just curious. Is there anyone at all who is satisfied with Streamyx’s services? Or are you pissed off like them? Send us your links and blog entries, perhaps we can compile a special page for your complaints…

I doubt anyone could be happy with the services that Streamyx has provided so far. It’s just that we do not have a realistic alternative to go for. Perhaps it’s high time that Malaysian bloggers and internet users alike rally together and make a serious lobby for a much improved internet service. Blog till it hit the newspaper’s front pages - now that should get some attention.

Hi Rez. What you’re saying is quite true. Over the next few months I hope to mobilize some efforts to make a significant lobby for broadband, however its hard given the lack of political connections or funding.

I think the first step is definitely awareness, as reform will come only through public pressure. One of the ideas I was thinking about is to have everyone donate say, RM10, and then once we get donations from 300 people or so, we have enough to place a full page advertisement in The Star. Some guys did it with SpreadFireFox.com - using the funds of hundreds of people, they placed an advert in the New York Times. Or ideas along that line. It doesn’t have to take money, but it will require a crowd or some very strategic media communication. You can start by putting a button on your blog, I guess :)
