so is there any actual info on what is the speed user would be throttled to after the bandwidth cap reached?

Can i ranting on the existing plan?

Unifi is out, the existing plan shd change right?

There will be no slowdown because ... it is HSBB

Streamyx is like a turtle walking along kampung road. Unifi (hurrayyy) turtle walking on highway

Many people are extremely unhappy with Unifi caps. Let us boycott it until they reasonably increase the cap or drop it.

The cap is damn low and not reasonable at all.

hmm, well its reasonable...plus there is no such thing as UNLIMITED bandwith...u go to aussie, uk same thing...the services they provide are all capped...but the difference is the PRICE!! now thats important..

hmm.. which other service in malaysia that doesn't CAP?

120GB... that is 4G daily... 1 DVD daily...

err.. how to boycott??

U guys still remember when TMnut first launched the 4MB and price at RM268(somewhere around that price range), and nobody bothers to subscribe it so ended up they forced to launch the RM160 combo deal for 4MB.

So please don't subscribe the Unifail eventhough they provide free installation.

See how many p2p/filesharing pirates complain here they are the only ones who will hit the cap.

dont apply till they decrease the price.

Try watching 720p Youtube videos. You'll see your usage go up. The 4 Mbps package has no cap at all at RM 160. Boycott Unifi!!

This is a ridiculous argument.

The reason HSBB is created is to cater for online content, which includes online HD content, which is not necessarily delivered through your IPTV. So you'll easily hit that 2GB/day limit with 5mbps. EASILY.

You don't have to be a pirate to hit those rates.

They already lost one trial user with their prices and cap. Im a trial user in TTDI for almost a month now. Wont be subscribing after the trial ends in June.

i gotta admit, thats true mang. I think i'll go with 10Mbps if 5Mbps's cap is insufficient.

Although honestly I'd love it if they increase the cap by 10-20GB for each package but hey, its an improvement from Streamyx nonetheless!

Since you're a trial user

how much do you use roughly? Not counting trying to smash through their limits Do you think its going to be useful if its capped at 60GB? What cap do you think would be reasonable as a test user?

im not subscribing to it even though i have the option come april. cap is too low

I think that is reality, it will be capped.
If you don't want to be capped, apply for biz package.

Without capping, you can download a maximum of 6480GB per month (with 20Mb Plan).
You think TM allows you to download 6TB of data by paying RM249?

What we can protest/hope is for TM to increase the bandwidth.
I would be happy if they double it, 120GB -> 240GB, just nice for me.

they cap 2gb each day?

Same here, available to me, but I'm not going to support it until they up the caps by at least 150%

Added on March 25, 2010, 1:38 pmits mentioned that the 60gb cap is pro-rated throughout the month, so we're assuming a 2GB cap per day from the way they describe it.

I'd agree on the cap thing but wtf 1Mbps? thats too ghey.

Plus how would this "pay to uncap" service works anyhow? Automatic charge for extra bandwidth use or cap first then ask to be uncap?

stupiak TMnet, cap till 1Mbps for what, cap 50% subscribe speed I think is more reasonable!

Well the utorrent client on my pc shows around 300gb downloaded in the last 31 days. Factor in all the rapidshare download and hd streaming the total might be at least 500gb for my pc alone and there is 3 other pc in the household.

There's no way im going to continue with the caps, 60gb??? Could barely last a week with 4 pcs in the house.

What do i think is the reasonable cap? In my case with 4 pcs, the mininum is 250gb otherwise I will be staying with streamyx. I wont probably be downloading as much because right now Im just testing their bandwith capacity. But still with 4 pc 60gb is way too low.

lolx.. if compared with "their competitor p1" is so much better.. xD
they capped @ 20gb @ 1.2mbps. xD
but anyway i still support the boycott on the capping

My house alone has 4 pcs as well well 1 pc, and 3 notebooks...

I think a 150GB cap for 5mbps package would suffice, there should be enough headroom for times we need to download huge patches for games and stuff. Otherwise no point going to HSBB, sticking with streamyx would make more sense.


if you want to compare, you compare with something better. You don't compare with crap.

There are a lot of ways to use lots of internet bandwidth in a short time,like buying a game from Steam(DA is 15GB for one game,CoH takes 9GB), watch HD youtube videos, or streaming movies.

I barely use p2p or file share and i can easily use 10GB a day,if i want.

Even playing a game for 2 hours with VOIP uses like 300 to 400MB,easily. Or surfing at LYN also use considerable amount of bandwidth as you are downloading sigs and avatar all the time. Try opening your Network Status on your connection and see how much you use. /k people will love their office internet connection as it probably wont have cap.

Capped internet has very restrictive nature as you if over use it,you'll suffer the consequences like slow internet or they charge you per MB. I have friends paying over 200AUD per person because they exceed 1GB of their cap. I find it actually promotes you to go out more,than sitting at the computer the whole day as you dont want to waste your bandwidth so that you dont suffer at the end of the month.

Still,HSBB is meant to encourage you to use your internet for entertainment contents,not encourage you to go out.

Cant belive that Malaysia is actually implementing this ridiculous system,while Australia is implementing HSBB to get rid of it or increase the cap tremendously. 60GB to 120GB is way too little.

I'll keep my 1Mbps internet anyday,at least i dont have to worry about getting over the cap if i decide to go youtube marathon.

Unless you only check emails using your internet everyday,you bound to have problems with capped internet.

i think TMNUT didnt take into account heavy users... or they just dun want heavy users to profit from this unifi hsbb... the price is just too much for the speed and also the cap included... i use 3 pcs at home (sumtimes 4) and i play my ps3 online... its just not enough for me...

so many pirates~

Someone should start a Boycott Unifi Facebook group too

Added on March 25, 2010, 1:50 pmPlease read the earlier replies explaining that most people will have problems with the cap. I'm not paying for terrible speeds after reaching the cap at the current price.

yeahhh......
that cap is damn low...
even with my current streamyx, i can easily reach 40GB a month...

inikan plak ngn 5mbps of speed...
15 hari je... ehehe

wahaha..
b4 this u guys so excited bout the prices,
now, bout cap issue..
but never use it lol~

how to boycott?

then 20M ppl can still get owning speed of 10M...but it's nice..XD

Ignore the troll.

How to boycott? Just don't subscribe. When TM sees that nobody (or very few) are signing up for this Unifi thing they might have more incentive to increase the caps.

The price is quite affordable, its actually a surprise to me.
But looks like we're paying for the speed only, not bandwidth.

1mb: Max download = 324GB
5mb: Max download = 60GB WTF?

In terms of bandwidth, Time broadband is way better with 15-30 hours of 50Mbps boost.

This post has been edited by jieming: Mar 25 2010, 01:58 PM

Yeah right, i spend over RM300 on Steam games last year where in the end ,all 32 games need 90GB to download every single one from scratch. On November, i downloaded 30GB of games,just in 2 days.

Considering all the patches,mods,dlc and shit, i need about 25GB per month that includes 10GB allowance for a big Steam game each month. WTF is this capped internet shit?????

Better get the damn bandwidth monitor then since im gonna use it in both countries.

Also,when you torrent, you are actually using double bandwidth,as in if your movie is 3GB,you are actually downloading 6GB+. Have fun with HSBB.

There goes my dream of using OnLive to play Crysis on i-Phone/netbook.

Another failed project by TM. Providing such a low monthly quota defeats the purpose of having HSBB in the first place. Does TM still thinks broadband is for casual chatting and email checking?

A reply from the main Unifi thread. Let us spam.

juz stick back to my current package (1mbps)...i used 50mbps packge in UK, this unifi no different la...UK has got unlimited la...Bolehland...

I don't mind cap, but it's too damn small. Price is not worth it considering average malaysia income.

Good idea.
Let's send them a message, starting from now: enquiry@unifi.my
No point complaining here.

This post has been edited by jieming: Mar 25 2010, 02:04 PM

why they don't lower the 1mb package price? instead of used gomen money to launch this HSBB? what is the purpose to have this very expensive package? bye bye Unifi!

WTF the price rate are these?
1Malaysia price....
Too dissapointed at them...TM go die!
Boycott Unifi

boycott unifi !!! price range doesnt satisfy our needs.cut the craps.

I agree with the steam thing. Some patches are 100mbs in size even, and if you have a few games, expect to download like 400-500mb easily. We PAID For these games.

I just checked my internet connection usage. I restarted my pc yesterday, and didnt do any downloading, just surfing and reading some manga on onemanga.com. I've already used 700+MB downloads and 300+mb upload. That's on a 1mbps streamyx line without actually actively downloading files.

No point to support Unifi...
Stick back my 1M package

I honestly think the cap is sufficient... I mean, we only use internet for youtube, Malaysian Insider, facebook, msn and skype ... Nothing else... lol!

If gov has this mentality, I think they are being stupid... lol!

I do admit, even though 90 GB is sufficient for me but for the price they are offering, its a freaking rip-off... lol!

How to progress like this???

I'm sure once the penetration is improved, I'm sure iTunes, Universal studios and etc... will be offering loads of online content... TM should have taken into consideration about all these...

Erms... i dont understand what is all this fuss about.. there are different packages catering to different group of users. For me i am a casual user. so the first package is targeted to people like me.. For heavy user that download more than 10GB a day shud opt for a higher packages.. Take for example you wanna buy a car... but u want a car that fit 8 person.. Then you complain that apala.. the Kangcil mana boleh masuk 8 person. Stupid perodua. Shud make the kangcil bigger to fit 8 person. Well for me i think the price is still high compared to our neighboring country. They should reduce the price by 20-30%

i think alot of ppl can settle for 5mbps speed but the cap and price makes it less attarctive. thats what the fuss is about

Exactly. if it was just speed, then alright ... (grumble). but when you put the low cap into the equation = wtf !!!

that is you only

1mbps FTW!!!!!

The government takes our money and hands it over to TM to build up the infrastructure for Unifi. I call that subsidising. Then TM turns around to rip us all off. Worse part is they're a monopoly with little competition, thy only thing we can do is boycott disUnifi.

At the moment I am downloading 1TB a month on my 4MB. No way am I moving over to Unifi.

Good for you

he think malaysian no nid download

Boycotting unifi we still lose. u know why. cauz we fall back onto 1mb streamyx adsl which also belongs to tmnut.

moral of the story, even settling for lesser of the 2 evils, tmnut still makes money off us.


The one who truly benefit is the tmnut staff with 30% discount, rich elites and those very very special important people

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Mar 25 2010, 02:43 PM

At least boycotting Unifi may force them to give us a better deal. It's the best we can do.

WTH!!! take backup from government to monopoly...got money shouldnt they know how to do?? malaysian do not need to do business..only malaysia government do business...all die

I mean it's understandable that it's not right for me to max out a 20MB connection and get 6TB a month for RM249.

I think I would be happier with something like a 300GB cap, and then speeds drop to 5MB. That would still be acceptable.

120GB and then speeds down to 1MB? No way.

That's it, after wasting all our people's money, that's the price they offering?? Boycott is a must... Do subscribe if you are an idiot....

10 years to go YEAH!!!! talk cock sing song...

The reason why it may reduce the downloads among us is because of IPTV. But again if you insist on downloading then its not for you. Its simple as that. I'll give it a go , suppose if TM still can't deliver high speed broadband then its a failure !

Thats only for you,if you are using yourself.

Imagine sharing it. Ugh.

this thread will not serve it purpose for a long long time, or at least until tmnut change the price.

no one will want to subscribe to that kinda of package

They should NOT force us to take IPTV. There should be an option to choose... not force it down our throats...i could care less about IPTV

Despite I will have to wait until Q4 before HSBB reaches my area.... (Streamyx 512kbps user......)

I personally think that the 60GB cap on 5MB package is ok for me, as my monthly usage rarely exceeds 35~40GB (Using the internet mainly for playing online games, MSN, checking forums/e-mail or some Youtubing... maybe once in a while download a RAR file of musics which is less than 100MB)

What I was only concerned was the price, hope they will reduce it....
Not to forget the ping.... (most important factor to me as I was playing a MMO which is hosted at Germany)

60GB quota?WTF?!That means we can only download 30GB per month?!that is crazy.

Boycott unifi !!!

No Cap please.

comes with a 2 year contract... so it's not as easy as "ill give it a try" for most of us. gotta put a lot of thought before pulling the trigger. perhaps 4mbps streamyx is a better deal after all

5mbps is rm149 so how about the 4m customer which paying for rm160?

their saving their bandwidth ya'll

Boycott Unifi!!!

IPTV is going to be worse than Astro and yet we have to suffer for that. Unifi my ASS

yes but they offering a high speed broadband, IPTV etc, all these consume big amount of bandwidth, with my usage the provided 120GB will exceed in 1 week, so whats the point ? back to 1mbps speed again ?

there will be..right now they are luring ppl to sign up by saying FOC until June, but the fact is, once u subscribe, 2 year contract bonded...quite a con case for those that doesnt really know about it

ranting about fakap cap boycott till they up cap or removed

i will boycott stupid tmnut unifi until they remove cap and lower their prices to less then rm100.

All people want is fast reliable internet with reasonable or no caps. I don't want IPTV etc if it's going to negatively affect the core service.

according to the news, IPTV will not affect your cap because it is on another 8mb dedicated line

So, 5mb/s = cap at 60mb
Your IPTV at 8mb will not be capped

really fakap its like were given a ferrari and they say you can drive as fast as you want but you only have 60m of road, boycott!

TM noob....low cap bandwidth
for example 5mb cap 60GB
it take abt TWO days full download at top speed. U will definitely over the bandwidth!!

Proof
Calculation:
5000Kbits/8 = 625KBytes per second
That means in 1 second u can download abt 0.61mb
0.61mb x3600 x24 = 52, 704mb /51.46GB!!!
WTH....for pps /p2p users sure die ><

The biggest about the cap isn't the monthly cap.

Its the DAILY CAP.
Apparently, if you're on the 5mbps package you'll have 60GB a month at that translates to 2GB a day.

Download any more than that, 1mbps you go.... or some say, 512kbps.



I don't know to laugh, to get pissed or to cry.

thats the purpose la they capped it. u think they give a damn about seeders/leechers?
they have to obey the copyright act anyway.
so, we as user must find a way to overcome this.

I don't mind iptv so much. For me personally i think iptv is the logical step to take to replace our astro.

Remember when it rains and it kills our astro??? iptv can stream 1080p using this new hsbb. Even the phone via internet is a good thing because it's free to local calls.

The only bullshit thing is the cap size too damn small. 300gb sounds more reasonable to me as well

And if i am pushing it, at least reduce price cheaper by making the modem and router optional so we can get our own hardware so they can lower our subscription fee. If not the modem, at least the router because that one is easily available.


To me their both bad. the daily cap more so




So no more repeats. Just watch what you want to watch whenever you want

TM Nut can go die now.

2GB is too little.

2-3 albums in 320kbps,a few hours of TF2, and one patch,im back to stone age.

Nothing will change when something is under Tmnet . Their policy is always $$$ > services > everything ( see the place where they launch HSBB and u'll know ... )

When other country is striving to improve their internet nationwide /worldwide Tmnet is working on " improving " their pocket size ....

Pathetic

Now tmnut really show their true monopoly nature with unifail, nobody can't do a damn thing if they go on with the standard package regardless of complains, boycott!

have you seen the content on iptv? it's so pathetic and lame that it makes you want to get a parabola dish to watch better content for free.

HSBB -- what a joke! Really potong stim!

Apparently, even folks in Russia are getting better value and deals for their broadband i.e. Corbina offers 30Mbps UNLIMITED for only RM160.

In Singapore, SingTel is offering 10Mbps UNLIMITED for only SGD56.90 (~RM130).

With UniFi you pay RM149 but only get 5Mbps with 60GB cap. Malaysia memang BOLEH!

I think I'll just stick to Streamyx for now even though HSBB is available in my area. The downloads from sites outside Malaysia, e.g. Youtube is already super slow with my 2Mbps connection....I don't think upgrading to 5 or 10Mbps is going to help.

saya sokong!

For those who does not want cap usage, please sign up for business package......business package no cap but 5Mbps have to pay extra RM50.....

we waiting

fuk that ;x tmnut can go to hell

Remember it's not malaysia boleh, MALAYsia boleh........

Hope some one in my area whose is not it literate install HSBB and do not put password for their wifi, then can share share lah...

home user cannot sign for business package. screw tmnut!

Lol. No.

You cannot sign for a business package in a resedential premise, unless you state that you are running a business from home where by you'll need to proove the credentials of your business to them.
Don't go thinking TM is that stupid to seemingly put a big loophole there so everyone will subscribe for the 5mbps business package.

this is just retarded... wat sort a stupid idiotic business plan is this? yea they wana get profit and all but i dun think they r looking at the big picture here... alot of different users and they onli came up with 3 packages with caps? thats really retarded... if its unlimited usage with the current pricing then i wouldnt mind it... but as for now... this is a f**ked up business strategy...
