First of all, I already said in my post that this was just an example to show my point. I did not say that that should be the price. Of course there should be research done to find a proper price point.

Secondly, you don't need to always compare with Streamyx prices. For example, most people say RM88 is already too much for 1M. So lets say that 1M should really only be say for example RM40. Then your comparison of prices would be different wouldn't it?

I hope you see the point, not just look at the figures.

nope I don't think Streamyx pricing will drop in short time
if Streamyx price is not dropping, then HSBB will remain expensive for some time

I even suspect they taken most of the international BW to cater for the HSBB, leaving Streamyx users craving like crazy while streaming youtube and other video streaming sites

conflict in bold ...

Pricing is depend on GOV, if they allow open market, no more monopolize, u think u will pay rm100 for 1mbps n inconsistent line?

Frankly, I'm just disappointed. I thought they're gonna have a 100mbps option. Like Japan.

nope. it'll not gunna happen. if hey want to catch up with japan, the gov should break tm monopoly and give license to foreign isp instead. in fact, the gov let sarawak/sabah leave behind because of geological. heh...japan can deploy fiber optic on their entire region, why not mareshia?

yah is true.
if we want better speed, no more monopoly .....

even if no more monopoly IP backbone are owned by tm nut thats why no challenge in land line internet providers

if the price for 5mb rm149 with monthly cap, i'm willing to stick with streamyx instead

Someone tweeted me the confirmed price for the UniFi packages;
5mbps: rm149, 10mbps: rm199 & 20mbps: rm249

got cap limit?

still no price..?

Wait for YTL's 4G to come out.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, TM does have competition and they are required to lease their lines out to 3rd parties.

I think the pricing is in line with what they have now. They could probably do with at least 30% price cuts across the board though.

But lets see how much of a fight YTL will put up, considering their service is going to be nationwide.

Wireless ISP in Malaysia always like that. First year or so very nice after that its anyone's guess i.e. CRAP

but still, the backbone/gateway own by TM. If YTL/foreign ISP lay their own backbone, that should be break tm's monopoly

if lease to 3rd parties, no competition for tm for sure,

I don't have faith on wireless isp's. they like to boast to promote their product, and then give crappy service to customer

Why not ask for a 1GB speed while you're at it.

tried the HSBB at my gfs house just now as she had the free testing. i think it was 20mb
got ard 1.8mb stable from apple.com, utorrent ard 700kbps and youtube 720p hd loads quick enough for you not to be waiting.
if they maintain it this way then i think its a good job from tmnut's part

got ard 40mbps to kl server and ard 6-8 mbps to europe from speedtest.net

well said

What would they do if we go over the cap limit? I'm very disappointed with the cap.

+1

Fingers crossed!

have you try celcom broadband? once reach 5GB on D68 and D98 package, celcom will throttle down your speed till you are unable to load youtube vids properly.

so tm will impose the same thing; throttle the the speed, for example 5Mbps to 512kbps
