trust me if you're having a server here prepare for poor ping and massive packet loss, lost alot of multillayer games because of that, or illegal repetitive chinese ads for sites/forums/blogs
And yes, the 2.6 billion RM has become a running gag here now
Did your government tell you it was sharks attacking the cables?
Because it probably isn't that- that only happens a time or two a month at most and more likely once in a blue moon.
The real reason that the connectivity there is bad is because of DDoS attacks launched against servers residing there. Being a hotbed of illegal activity from the perspective of the rest of the world, there is no other way to dispose of a server containing something you don't like than to straight up shoot it out with a flood of traffic that it is unable to withstand.
All of these attacks going on at once means Malaysia's connectivity is constantly swamped to the breaking point, occupying almost all available capacity with saturation attacks round the clock aimed at the various illegal content hosted there.
It would clean up tremendously if Malaysia decided not to allow servers containing that sort of thing anymore, but again this would have a serious economic consequence as people currently employed tending those servers and their relevant infrastructure would lose their jobs. The country benefits from the regular infusion of American and European money into such things.
Or the internet services/infractructure here are really poor, I mean singapore isnt that far down south and they got like 1-5Gbit/s internet service, here we're lucky to get 10Mbit/s.
