Malaysian consumers finally get 4Mbps broadband

So it's World Telecommunications Day today and what better time than now for Telekom Malaysia to announce that Malaysians consumers (in selected areas) can finally have an option of getting a 4Mbps broadband connection! Up till now the fastest speed you could get was a 2Mbps link. Interestingly, it also appears that Celcom (owned by Telekom Malaysia) is now offering NATIONWIDE wireless UMTS (384Kbps) and HSDPA (3.6Mbps) connectivity. Not bad - now to wait and see if it actually works!
