Which portable broadband (Malysia only)

[LunarWolf]

My sister plans to get a portable broadband for her laptop. Can anyone suggest a reliable one? I am living in Malaysia. My sister budget is maximum Rm70 per month. Is there any broadband package my sister can applied to without burning a hole in her pocket? The speed doesn't matter. She is living in Sarawak at the moment. I know Maxis broadband is definitely out of the equation as it cost a stunning RM 138 per month.

The only broadband from Malaysia is StreamyX but I dont think it's that reliable..

The RM66 one would be the best for your budget but it's without a modem..

Not sure how it works without a modem but nonetheless..

Maybe there is a similar service in Maleysia to the one they are offering in the UK

In the UK, its called mobile broadband and its basically just a USB pen drive which you plug into your computer. However, you only have about 3 GB download limit and its SLOW

Ahh.. mobile broadband..

We also have WiFi. It's free but alot of people use it so it can be slow

Check in mind, if your sis is a heavy downloader/torrenter.

Malysia not only has Streamyx. There are Maxis Broadband, U-mobile, Celcom Broadband, Izzi and P1Wimax (correct me if I leave out extra)

The RM66 is limited usage. Once you exceed it, you start paying extra.

Yup, that is the one I am looking for. A USB pendrive modem.

That was not what I had in mind. What I had in mind was the plan. I need to know what plan and the cost. The USB modem is ok. I can get it from Low Yat.

I have Celcom wireless broadband and it is SLOW. I am going to cancel it when Wimax is here.
