During second Singapore proxy free test , a participant has raised concern about cost of Singapore proxy. While cost is relative, nevertheless it is a legitimate concern. So how to alleviate cost concern? Can we use a Malaysia proxy? Will buying bandwidth via a Malaysia proxy improve download speed for Malaysia broadband users?

• We know Malaysia network connectivity issue is not going to disappear soon. See REACH (a network operator) South East Asia network map. Most routes are passed through Singapore.
  

• Besides network connectivity issue, how is download speed for Malaysia server? On 6/6/08, I have conducted two download speed tests using a Singapore server during daytime and nighttime
  a. Download a file at Netmyne, a Malaysia data center
  b. Download a file at SAVVIS, a US data center
  During daytime (non-peak Internet usage period), download speed for both tests is around 2Mbps. However during nighttime, download speed from a server of Netmyne is dropped to 1.6Mbps, but no change in download speed from the US server. From this perlimary test, it shows the particular Malaysia server cannot sustain max download speed during peak Internet usage period.
• So we have network connectivity issue and maximum download speed sustainability issue for a Malaysia server, does a Malaysia proxy still make sense? One advantage of Malaysia server is relative lower cost. Comparing virtual private server plans of a Singapore hosting company and a Malaysia hosting company#, for USD 30, bandwidth for a plan from the Singapore hosting company is 50G. But for the Malaysia hosting company#, bandwidth allocated is 1500G.

Conclusion : If budget is your main concern, then consider a Malaysia proxy to improve download speed for Malaysia broadband users.
