Not sure whether all of you have heard of the Malaysia’s new internet service provider called Infolient Broadband. Apparently, it has been around for quite some time (since 2008), but it’s only recently that they start to do major campaign to lure new users. I browse through their website and was amazed with the package price that they offers. At least it looks far more convincing that TM’s Streamyx. With only RM59 a month, you get a connection of 1.0mbps speed (as compared to streamyx’s RM88). Of course, the catch here is the word promotion. The price tag of RM59 is promotional price for a limited time, and the normal price would be RM79, which is still low compared to streamyx 1.0 mbps.

What do you need to know about Infolient Broadband?

• While the promotional price for home broadband is RM59 per month, you need to pay a 1 month deposit plus activation fee and stamp duty that would cost you around RM216 for the first month payment.

• It is based on TM’s cooper line to connect the end clients to their
  service station which called DSLAM. So, as long as you have TM fixed line installed, you can use this service (if ports are available in your area).
• Some say it’s actually a "child" of Streamyx, but to me, if i can pay less for the same service, why not? Hehe.
• According to their customer service, Infolient does not have fair usage policy, but they do throttle speed for P2P activities like using torrent and limewire.
• Like Streamyx, there is a 12 month minimum contract for INFOLIENT Broadband
• Speed wise, it’s better than streamyx, at least for now since its user base is still low.

Anyhow, from the way it looks, Infolient could be value for money especially for home users who don’t have to spend too much on internet bills. Visit www.infolient.com for more info. For users of this broadband, please leave your comments.
