__________________________________
In my opinion, this package is a great deal for those who had subscribed for Streamyx Combo as Combo subscribers will be paying less from RM 60 monthly to RM 50 monthly with the same internet speed + a netbook for a personal use.. However, this package only offered to 1st and 2nd year of Malaysian local and private universities' students..
