I have tested out the 10Mbps during the launch in Damansara Perdana yesterday. While local sites loads up very fast, it was very slow on YouTube. I believe YouTube or the international link was having problem during the test. According to DU Meter, I was allocated a bandwidth of 37Mbps, but the technical team during the live demo claims that it was using the 10Mbps package.
Netlynx is a Metro-e network, IP based, connected to mBone at 30Gbps. The collaboration with Palette will allow Netlynx to offer services like VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol), VOBB (Voice over Broadband), IPTV and so on.
According to Time dotCom, Netlynx will offer speed up to 100Mbps for business users within the next few months.
