Yeah, your calculations are about right.

+1 to your suggestion. At least offer a different packages to those that want a bigger cap.

And I 'lol'ed at those saying it will be cheap. Right on queue they offer the 10mbps 40bucks more than the current 4mbps price.

gonna get the VIP 5 package... oh wait, my area will be covered in 2011/2012...

kundaichiz, if we compare to asean contries, we'd be far far behind even vietnam.
Thailand broadband packages are so much more competitive and cheaper, never midn singapore!

I disagree with that, do you remember what is "wawasan 2020" ? we are suppose to be an "advanced country" by that year, and internet is the backbone of a country, if u cant provide what an advanced country can supply, we will never be able to reach that. Maybe they know we cant do it so they want to overwrite that with "1 Malaysia" ?

want compare asean only? CAN, SINGAPORE!

yup us and japan are years ahead of us in terms of economy and technology so comparing the price they can offer to the price we can offer is not logical especially there is only one provider in malaysia and the government's tolerance towards monopoly of this market.

Andohbtw, why supply internet at speeds that normal copper line can cover?

Forgot to say that if we cast our gaze slightly further ot Japan or Korea (Asia), we're so far behind in terms of itnernet and broadband availabiltiy and access and speed, it isnt' even funny

noooooooo.... i duwan cap~~~!

erm, as far as i know alot of other telcos are more profitable.

Exactly. "Because they're advanced country" is never a good reason. It's an excuse for not competing.

no seed

Dude, do you even know what is wawasan 2020?

truth is malaysia simply has fallen behind. They started off well with boradband with the MSC, then stagnated till everyone else in the world overtook us

...haha

btw..agreed with singapore or any asean..the caps is the major problem...

ask PM to give xtra money laa..TM is under gov policies..if he says only that much..then TM go that much only..

btw..

again..still waiting my unifi..lol

I'm not sure about the details, and I may be wrong here, but isn't speed over copper depends a lot on the distance from a home to the exchange(or something)? The longer from the exchange thing, the harder it is to achieve good speed. While fibre can cover more distances.

This is a more reasonable comparison but no offense Singapore is still ahead of us so maybe Indonesia would be better to be compared with us

beter u all register smm ... create enterprise company than register hsbb take biz plan ... unlimited lor

in my opinion though, mayb tm is applying skimming pricing for this unifi, as time goes by the price will be reduced, but when? maybe i can understand the monthly capped reason, perhaps they want to provide us with guaranteed line quality? who knows, can't you all imagine just if there is no monthly capped, i think they gonna repeat the same mistake on streamyx as well, and the iptv definitely will fail.

i know the reason.there are small country red dot in the map.easily to maintain.
