Anything from vincent tan is think them first before they think about you. anyway, the performance of the broadband dropping. maybe because of the grow customers and their bandwidth not sufficient. I never like a BN crony at work.

Their connection is good but virtue of their small customer base but they forgot about their customer service. Had a very bad experience with them. Help is almost non existence when u needed it.
