If I move location, can I take my City Broaband service with me?

Depending on the location you are moving to, City Broadband can arrange for a hassle-free relocation of your service within Cyberjaya.

Why is City Broadband's service better than ADSL?

ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. It is a technology that transforms ordinary phone lines into high-speed digital lines for internet access. ADSL provides for asymmetric connection to the internet, in other words the speed for the uplink and the downlink are different. Thus for business customers needing to use the internet connection for high volume file transfers, data sharing or other applications that require high throughput, their performance will be affected. City Broadband's solution is based on the delivery of the broadband access over Ethernet, thus ensuring that the connection is symmetrical (same speed up and down) and that there is plenty of bandwidth all the way to your location to provide the best possible broadband connection speeds and reliable service.

What is the difference between City Broadband Corporate and City Broadband Corporate Gold?

City Broadband Corporate is for customers and organizations that require high bandwidth (1 Mbps onwards), high performance, reliable internet access in one economical package. City Broadband Corporate Gold provides additional quality of service and traffic priority for customers who need the internet as a core business tool, and whose performance and throughput demands are in excess of most traditional businesses.

Why does my connection speed to the internet occasionally slow down when I am accessing an overseas website?

City Broadband provides fast access speed to the internet. But access speed is just one of the many factors which affect the throughput speed experienced by the internet user. Other factors are:

  • Web server speed. A user would receive data from the internet only as fast as the web server can send them out. Typically, web servers are optimised to enable more simultaneous user sessions rather than faster throughput speeds
  • Nature of internet traffic. This is not deterministic, i.e. sometimes there are blockages on the internet, which is beyond the control of an ISP or service provider.
How can the speed of the internet be improved?

The internet infrastructure is constantly being upgraded to handle rapidly increasing usage. In addition, the internet backbone has grown in an unplanned fashion and a connection may see 20 or more routers. All these create a significant delay in overall throughput speed. A great deal of work is underway to improve the internet experience by:
  • increasing server access speeds
  • improving backbone and NAP (Network Access Point) bandwidth
  • increasing router speed
  • introducing ATM into the backbone for much lower latency
  • implementing proxy or cache servers for frequently visited web pages to create local access.
