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.
Kugan writes about the launch of the P1 Wimax USB Modem called the “Wiggy”. This seems to be in response to the competition from Digi and Celcom’s portable wireless broadband solutions.

Azwan has been testing P1 out so far, and it seems okay. (1199 kb/s!) He also provides a few tips on how to make your P1 Wimax speed faster:

It’s nice to see some competition in the mobile broadband space, particularly from Celcom, Digi & P1. Maxis doesn’t seem to be doing much other than launching modems with different designs. Seriously wtf? FYI: Maxis is at the bottom of the list when it comes to mobile broadband, I tried their broadband service around Kelana Jaya, and my relatives in Tropicana did too. It sucks. Service is very bad considering, especially considering that these are what you call ‘prime areas’ which have some of the highest earnings per household - these should be some of your best customers, really. And their website is devoid of any useful information, asking you to CALL to find out more. Wow.
Digi has taken the trouble to compile a ballsy comparision chart that compares them quite favourably…except for a few key things. While their ‘guaranteed speed’ promise is pretty interesting, they are the most expensive of the bunch. At least they are honest. From here.
Might be good to compile another comparision chart, I’m pretty sure there are some other things worth mentioning.
Meanwhile, P1 has a pretty good package of an Acer Netbook + their mobile broadband solution, the suggestively named WIGGY. 2 year contract.
P1: Acer Laptop + WIGGY promo.
And Celcom has a promo as well: HP / Compaq notebooks with Celcom Broadband
Must say that the HP Mini plan looks tempting. It would probably be good for Digi to bring back their laptop promo. They had one sometime back but it seems to be gone.
Now, to find out how they perform. Stay tuned, we will be compiling usage and speed reports from various users! If you have blogged about using either Digi, P1, Celcom or Maxis broadband, please drop a comment with your link.
