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.

Who Says They Have The Fastest Network / Widest Coverage? Apparently Not Him…

News Articles Celcom

Noorizam Shah writes about his Celcom 3G Data Card connection:

“Saya mula gunakan celcom 3G sejak 5 bulan lalu. Dan saya perlu membayar RM103.05 setiap bulan, untuk masuk ke laman web eBay.com saya boleh menghabiskan masa dengan makan malam, menonton televisyen siaran satu jam, mandi dan laman web yang saya nak masuk, masih lagi tak lepas-lepas. Apa nih?”

Translation: I started using Celcom 3G since 5 months ago. And, I have to pay RM103.05 every month, to go into ebay.com. I can spend some time waiting - having dinner, watching TV for one hour, and then hae a bath…and then, the website that I want to visit, will still not have loaded! WTF?

Read more here: Do you pay RM103.05 a month for a GPRS connection / Anda bayar 103.05 sebulan untuk koneksi GPRS?
Interestingly, a commentator on that blog also comments on Maxis 3G - he mentions that on a rainy day, the connection will drop to just GPRS - when usually, he can get HSDPA. Is the connection really affected by rain? I know that satellite transmission speeds are, but HSDPA? A simple search on Google returns varied results.

And for the unitiated - from fastest to slowest, this is the order: HSDPA, 3G, GPRS, WAP. HSDPA being the fastest, and WAP being the slowest. And also, connections for both Maxis 3G and Celcom 3G are meant to switch seamlessly to the fastest network available at the time, meaning if either HSDPA or 3G is not available, it will default to GPRS.
