4Mbps surfin!

Well there has to be a reason why there is so much throttling recently, and now we know why!!

The gist of the package is this:
1. 4Mbps download and 512kbps upload (sic!) for an introductory offer of RM198/month (offer period 1 month only) after which the actual monthly price is RM268
2. Available only in KL and Petaling Jaya areas, up to 3km from the exchange (but not all areas, it seems)
3. Minimum subscription period of 12 months
4. Some other associated free offers as sweeteners

Oh come on...4Mbps package? And they can't even deliver proper service to the other packages, and they're talking about a 4Mbps one. How long do you think it will last? A few months before they start throttling this package as well? Probably, since we use broadband mainly for p2p downloads...

No one needs 4Mbps just for surfing...or is the picture giving us a hint?
