Internet Service Providers in Papua New Guinea (PNG)

Before coming over to PNG, I was using Malaysia's broadband service, Streamyx.

The cost:

• Monthly Fee = MYR60 per month or about K50 per month (all in, with no charges for line rental)
• Access Speed = 384 Kbs
• Data Limit = None, with unlimited download and connection time

Compared to Malaysia, the internet service and access charges in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are very expensive.

The following information was obtained from the PNG ISPs websites on 20th December 2009:
