I just upgrade from 1Mb to 4Mb about 1 month ago. I asked the same question as you do now. So I think I should share my experience with whoever is interested to upgrade.

Overall, there is improvement.

Surfing: Not really noticeable much.
Youtube or other similar service: Improved (buffering time reduce quite a bit)
Download Rapidshare/Megaload (free service): Improved (from 50kb/s to around 90kb/s)
Torrent: I not really into it
Online gaming: Local - I do feel better. Oversea - I don't play
Stability: Improved (but stability can depend on many other things)
My happy index with internet connection: Improved  biggrin.gif

tongue.gif Sorry don't have much to share, I am now busy with setting up my new rig, so don't have much time to online.

do a speedtest... i subscribed 4mbps bcoz of direct download.... ntg else

Yea I tried looking for it, but could not find any mention of a cap. It's relatively common to have a cap (more like a fair usage). I know Unifi introduced it but eventually removed it due to public outcry
*
its unlimited so far.... as long as u never exceed 1tb , i guess it should be ok... btw , wat porn or hd movie that u download until 1tb ? lol ... i only download more or less 20-30gb monthly...no time to watch also .... icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

I just found that for 4mb package, the upload speed is only 512k thus I give up for this upgrade.

I think this blockbuster deal is better than the UNIFI isn't it?
For VIP5 plan which costs rm150, you get a 5mb download but it comes with a 60mb cap.
For blockbuster, rm140 you get a 4mb speed but without cap.
So it's better right? Or am I missing something?

p.s. Im an existing streamyx user
*
u forget about upload speed...unifi upload speed is 5mbps for VIP5 ...streamyx 512kbps only

Today TM called and offered me the 2Mbps deal @RM130.
I said i will think about it first.

Currently I pay RM88(1mb streamyx) + RM27 (average monthly TM Homeline bill) = RM 115 monthly(roughly)

Since we rarely use the house phone anymore + satisfied with my internet speed, I dun think there's any benefit if I get this BBD deal. Agree?
*
its not by TM if not mistaken ...its random call by tm agent... my dad called to TM and they denied about it
