I'm using the 88 1mbps line....but I can't see any 88 upgrade to 2mbps...

So, if I upgrade my 88 become 98 / 100 lor? Or they simply said all 1mbps is 99 now? Better dun upgrade....later they found out mine is still 88, they will increase it to 9 -.-"

Yeah, mine is 88 as well. If follow 'previous' bill then should be 88 then add RM10 for 4th month onward. Better ask before upgrading.

Anyways, whatever the base price is, the upgrade package is still much cheaper than normal packages (140 for normal, 120 for upgrade package; 2Mbps line. Price based on Combo Packages.) and will still be cheaper even if on Standard Packages, of which I don't think can even upgrade to a normal non-combo packages anymore (which is much much higher than combo packages by the way). Correct me if I'm wrong though. But will be better if can actually get the real price of the RM88 brows.gif

what i can see is not really worth unless you upgrade from 384 to 512.. as for me using 1mb rm77 per month, better stick to it as 2mb already nid add rm22.. almost same as without this promotion

Its not about how much you need to add up, its how much you'll save.

Take a 1Mbps to 2Mbps for example.

Normal 2Mbps Combo Package: RM140
Upgrade for Combo Package: RM120
Upgrade for Standard Package: RM110

Save if on Combo: RM20 per month
Save if on Standard: RM30 per month

The saving for standard package is against normal combo package as I don't think can upgrade to a standard package anymore. Correct if I'm wrong though (of which becomes better since standard packages is much higher).

Although yes, its not exactly 'add RM5 or RM10' for the next higher speed, but compared to normal upgrades, this is a good offer.

Though in some cases like yours where you're on the RM77 1Mbps promotion offer, you need to add quite a lot more. But compared to upgrading normally, this is a good offer. Imagine from RM77 to RM140 for 2Mbps in which this upgrade will only goes to RM110. Better offer right?

You forgot one important thing there, what about the line rental charge? At least for combo, 4Mb/s is RM160 per month inclusive of line rental which is RM25. If you would to upgrade to the same package under this so called new promotion, the end result is you're still paying RM150 for 4Mb/s and on top of that continue to pay RM25 per month for line rental.

So for the same speed:-

Streamyx Combo for 4Mb/s = RM160 (inclusive of line rental)

New Streamyx Promotion for 4Mb/s = RM150+RM25 = RM175

So unless it includes line rental, you're actually paying more to get the same speed in a Streamyx Combo package. Looks more of a con job to me.

For standard package, its RM130 for 4Mbps, not RM150.

RM150 is for Combo Package.

In any case, I didn't include the rental since that has always been something to bear from the very beginning. Why must it be included in the calculation?

If customer terminates Streamyx service within minimum subscription period of 24 months, an administrative fee of RM350 will be charged to customer’s bill...

Let say if HSBB available next year at your areas, and the price is temptating. U have to think twice about that upgrade. Terminate streamyx to go for HSBB, and RM350 gone...
*
Yeah I did thought about this too, but since I don't think HSBB will be coming to my area within this 2 years, I don't see a problem there biggrin.gif

Thanks for bringing that up, I corrected the typo. The rental line fee of RM25 per month is quite substantial and it is included in the existing Combo packages. So to compare it from a standard package POV, you will need to include it to see the true savings from this promotion.

To illustrate;

1Mb/s Standard Package is RM88 without modem.

To upgrade to 4Mb/s Combo: RM160 (inclusive of line rental) - RM88 = RM72

To upgrade to 4Mb/s under this new promotion: RM130 + RM25 (line rental) = RM155 - RM88 = RM67

The difference between the two is only RM5. Based on my earlier post, it's not really a good deal. You might as well upgrade to Streamyx Combo. For Combo, activation fee and installation fee is waived plus you will only be tied down for 12 months.

yeah not much difference. but there's still a bit of saving. con job, not exactly. truly beneficial to customer, not exactly either sweat.gif

QUOTE(owc @ Nov 23 2009, 03:03 PM)
RM88 - RM130 = RM42
You need to pay more RM42, not RM5

Some more they wouldn't so stupid with the idea you given, it's only apply on promotion period only.
They will not last long, not more than 4 month promotion.
They will make the term to be upgrade for 1 time only, to protect their profit!
*
Those prices will stay for as long as you're customer (min of 2 years that is) but this offer will only last till end of year. after that, back to normal prices
