5mb = RM150. 60 gb capped
10mb = RM199. 80gb capped
20mb = Rm249. 120gb capped

err.. correct me if my understanding is wrong...

If I subscribe to the 20 mbps package (RM 240, 120gb capped),

120 GB capped per month = average 4 GB per day

At 20 mbps, that's 2.5 MB/s or 9 GB per hour.

Eh... if I'm a daily user and spend a few hours a day downloading/streaming stuff and surfing, I will bust my cap too easily... *sob*

9Gb per hour? If you download/stream/surf that much per hour, you need to get off the internet and get a job. There's probably something out there that requires your insane multi tasking abilities.

120Gb isn't too harsh of a cap. Don't get me wrong, caps suck but you know what sucks more? not having fast internet access.

I run a 4Mb line and i do not break 25 gigs in a month. I couldn't even if i wanted to. It'd be way awesome if they had no caps, at least don't cap the 10Mbps line but judging by the track record of providing shitty service already, the reduced load would probably help keep everything running smoothly.

But i doubt it.

Either way, i'd get that 10Mbps line right now even with the 80gb cap... assuming it works as advertised.

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.

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

ISP's lease infrastructure all the time. I'm sure you'd love to believe that everyone has enough money to lay down their own backbone and charge low prices. Fact is, they can't. If they can use TM's infra and provide a better service than TM, then that alone is plenty of competition.

It's up to TM to ensure that the lines are working well and its in their own best interest to do so. It's not like they're gonna block the other ISPs, that's what the court is for.

TM doesn't have a monopoly, if they did they wouldn't need to lay down this line. The government may be aiding them, but they're providing a majority of the funding themselves.

There's no point in speculating what the cap is and how it's going to be managed. Wait for the announcement and take action from there.
