The problem is we have only around 1-2 million bb users around.

Malaysia until now has not achieved that kind of standard of living, remember still a lot low income group people just bare enough to feed the family, bb is a luxury for them.

It is the urban people are the most bb users.

Still can cancel, just pay penalty RM350 lor.

But if HSBB is really cheap (I don't think it will, due to lot of reason), then paying 350 penalty in some situaion can be worthwhile as well as 1 month even 512kbps package alreayd near 100, just waste 3 month plus subscription fee. The plan is good for those intention/wishing for upgrade their speed one, with extra 5-10 can get doubling speed already, but major complaint about streamyx is about stability, and connection quality, not speed.

Yup, this is a good tactic to counter 'potong' campaign. Tight up people, give 4 months free upgrade, and only RM5-10 extra for doubling the speed seems tempting to some.

But personally, I would prefer their provide consistent/stable performance on the network over the speed upgrade. Got super speed, but problem here and there also no use.

Frankly speaking 2mb, 1mb, 512, 384, if streamyx has problem time, whatever speed also no difference.

Except 4Mb which I heard they put on those users with different IP range.

I don't think should worry something that too far away pricing issue (2 years), may be price will drop across for standard package due to more competition or HSBB, nobody knows.

All BB even commercial bank punish existing customer while new customers get better deal, it is same across.

See how those 3G BB, now BB providers offer Rm48 or 88 for new sign up, while exisitng customers need to pay more than that. While for banks, new customers being offered lot of goodie while exisitng loyal customers get none.
