actually, i don't really mind if they really capped to 1mbps, as long as the line quality is good, no throttling, just imagine, an uninterrupted 1mbps already enables me to download like crazy already, yet we still have the chance to taste what does it feels using HSBB, at least, lolz

Then your electric bill will be higher la

anyway i think TMNUT getting crazy again,the lowest package also expensive they think all of us can afford it

At least RM100 is affordable la, summore this 1 is capped gila ini TMNUT

IMHO, if you're not worried about the cap, then you're probably not a regular user or need a fast connection. So just stick with Streamyx. UniF*ck will just be another fancy gizmo which you'll not fully utilise anyway.

TM should think of unbundling its product. Who really watches IPTV? Especially with the second rate shows they will put on? Even with Pay TV, you only get re-runs of movies (some of which were first released a decade ago) or out dated series. Even documentary, get replayed so much that I can guarantee I turn on the documentary channels now, I've probably seen some if not all the shows before.

It's better just to download the torrents. Can even get it in HD!! 720p. The latest episodes straight from the US without commercials! You want the latest movies - go to a cinema, your local DVD seller or download online. Bluray quality somemore.

But the cap su*ks big time, because each BluRay movie is about 4GB in size and each series about 300-600MB.

I don't even use my home phone. Not a single call in a month. It's either the mobile or skype.

I'm willing to pay the advertised price, but the cap is the biggest reason why I will not subscribe!! If I'm going to pay so much for the service, at least I must have the peace of mind to know that I'll be able to use it whenever I want.

I'm just hoping that TIME.com will have their fibre Broadband in my area soon!! That looks like a better deal for me!

Then for what you wanna pay RM149 lol?
Pay RM77 enough la.

THE Government owned TM is monopoly the malaysian internet market, as malaysian have no alternative have to subscribe to tm. and i do sincerely hope some big telco ( U mobile + starhub ) can come up with more realiable internet connection to bypass the monopoly tm. maybe to shake things up.

I have one question,

Do we need a company in order to subscribe to the business package or subscribe like home user just pay more?

^^

the problem now is even with 1mbps now, i'm paying rm110 with combo, yet still using vpn, torrentflux, rapidleech already exceeded the hsbb price, and guess what? i still can't get full speed with it, sad case,

I always bought games from EB rather than download online. Just preferred to have the game box with the disc and all.

Absolutely I am all for capless Internet but until that changes we are stuck with it.

You are right we can't hang all the abusers, we would have a lot of dead Internet users then.

Same situation here just my speed up and down sometimes, and yes i need use tunneling service for my WoW.....
Any1 using HSBB should post feedback later see whether it can provide smooth and consistent speed for online game.
Imagine HSBB + tunneling fees = GG
Gona stick to 1m and maybe 2m later

In terms of internet, we cannot compare Malaysia to Australia.
There's a reason why the internet in Australia is expensive. They have to take their undersea cable to Guam, somewhere in the middle of the pacific.
How far is that if you compare Malaysia-Hong Kong or Malaysia-Taiwan.

I bet if you put australia where Malaysia is, you'd see them implementing US style caps.

plus, in australia, they have caps for Business broadband. Here, we can go unlimited if we choose the business package.
TM only knows how to copy people, but they don't know what to copy and what not to copy.

Most certainly there has to be a cap since this is consumer broadband, not dedicated lease line. But 60GB for 5Mbps? That is comparable to the 5GB cap on 384kbps line on 3G.
Heck, the bandwidth-cap ratio is even less. 3G is limited because it use radio waves, and there's a limit to the bandwidth on the waves. My guess to overcome this is to build more towers. However, the less knowledgeable unker and aunti will protest to this implementation. Same goes to Wimax. Even Wimax has better bandwidth-cap ratio than this stupid Unifi.

Malaysians, being Malaysians, I'd bet that some part of the money used to buy bandwidth has gone to you-know-where.

why our neighbour still can provide cheaper bandwidth ?

eternity4av, u must be using the wrong kind of VPN. with my VPN, i get more than 1mbit with my 1mbit streamyx

this is why if hsbb line quality is good, even they capped me to 1mbps, by all means i'm ok with it, rather than paying 1mbps for rm110 still yet to pay vpn, torrentflux, and rapidleech and yet CAN'T GET FULL SPEED. that's already cost me higher already.

zzzxtreme .. ur streamyx line are jumper at 2mbps that why u get more than 1mbps ... ..most 1mbps package get their speed at 2mbps..u can check the speed at modem ..

That's cause it's actually 1.5 mbit

Because in lionpura, all the invested money goes to the proper places. In Malaysia, the invested money goes to Football Clubs. Thats why TM can't afford to buy more bandwidth

1 day cap 2GB
IPTV watching 1080P movie, how many movie i can watch?

yes... it won't be slow all the time, after i sat in front of my pc for roughly 30 minutes - 1 hour and flood TMNut port with connection requests just to get the decent ip range that made latency stay at 700ms constant.

kindly tell us, hows the lag when you tried to connect to US. 500ms? 700ms? i'm having average of 1000ms when i'm playing without checking my ip range.

why don't TMNut just blaady solve the blaady latency/ bandwith transfer bottleneck thing by joining the thai+sg plan to create a fork shape cable instead of a 'Y' shaped cable?

good 1 ...

To be honest, I don't really mind the caps, I don't get it how ppl could have use up 100gB, back in Melb for 3 years , was using Optus ADSL 20gB peak and 40gB offpeak shared between 3 ppl. I had like 10gB, 1 friend have 20gB and the other guy had 40gB quota, manage using Kerio Winroute firewall so we could monitor our usage through individual account (my pc was the server).

Hardly even reach 60gB most of the time (exceptional case when there is a new anime, new drama or new episode for all of us individual needs)

For gaming data usage (based on 3 years been there) , 15hours MMORPG about 1.xgB+ , FPS such as battlefield 2 , around 1.5gB(5-8 hours, can't really remember the exact value) , and with occasional movie download (<5, 350MB -1gB), 10GB cap last me a month time.
Sometimes we even need to find stuff to download as well to reach our full 60GB cap, of course we won't download those HD or Blueray stuff which takes up alot of bandwidth. Usually we control our usage until the last week of the month before starting massive downloading.

I rather TMNET have these caps (or maybe put it higher abit to cater to those so-called heavy downloaders to 100GB as a starting package) and upon exceed, slow to 56Kbps until the rest of the month.
Get rid of the crappy daily usage cap based and give us a monthly based cap, not all of us downloading everyday and also to those complain that they have to download games, do you buy games online everyday and download on everyday basis. How many games you could play a day .

I prefer TM fix their routing issues, give us guaranteed speed and not just best effort basis and also ensure there is minimal downtime (fine with the international natural disaster stuff but at least local connection won't go down as well which is happening currently). No freaking throttle here and there , just cap enough
