Nice one for students, really cheap stuff.

By the way, I've just found a potential loophole, subscribe to it for about 1 month, cut off the line, and if my maths is correct:

1st month Bill: RM25
potong charge : RM600
deposit : RM75
Wiring Charge : RM30

If i didn't misread anything, that means a netbook for RM730 - RM750.
Too Bad I'm 3rd year next semester.

Agreed, SialCom Berukband is better, without the the Homeline, and more importantly, netbook and and fixed line shouldn't be a combination to begin with.

What so tricky about it?

Its the same as lets say, you bought a notebook in Lowyat with an installment plan for 12 months, let say before you habis bayar, on month number 2, you notebook got stolen, installment plan still need to pay.

Maybe someone should ask what happens if you potong before the contract ends, and everything would clear up

Ahh, now that I've read that, it appears this is like the old, buy HP PC get 1Mb line promotion.

Which in that case, was RM99 per month, for some HP desktop, and 1Mb line, pretty much the same. Plus, these packages doesn't come with line rental, which is about, IIRC Rm25 per month. So whatever price they advertised, you have to sum up the line rental.

So, it's pretty much nothing new from TM. Old package, new PC, that's about it.

If you fulfill the contract to 24months, for a 1Mbps line, the netbook should cost you (RM25 phone rental + Rm11 difference RM88 package) x 24 = RM888. Cheaper from market price nonetheless.

The PM says going to provide Rm1bil for notebooks, I wonder if this allocation applies to the netbook packages or not.

Funny. I applied for mine on Monday. Wednesday the Homeline is installed.
This morning the Unipack is processed but theres no 4Mb port in area. Asked to be put on waiting list instead.
TM point cyberjaya.

Meaning, it wasn't sent to PJ to processed.

This is the reason why the price drops to rm38 right now.
However, it remains to be seen how many netbook units does RM1bil translates into
