malaysia is fed up with slow Internet access to the rest of the world and is not going to take it anymore. Leading area technologists met to discuss the problem. They believe 73% of usage is from P2P users. The group agreed to increase the country's external bandwidth from 17Gbps to 42 by the end of 2007. The big question - how much of the boost will be eaten by P2P?

It's probably not a good idea...

Well, I hope they understand that if they increase the bandwidth they should also implement bandwidth throttling for P2P sites and local clients. That should free up the highways for normal use.

As streamyx is the main ISP in malaysia, they should not consider how much bandwidth would be used by p2p. I have been staying in australia, the only way is to restrict bandwidth usage to control the users download from p2p. However, streamyx current speed not even enough sufficient for the average performance to large community. Malaysia should support private company to invest independent ISP in order to split up the community in to different ISP company.
