I agree with most of the comment here.

The pricing should be adjusted, especially for the streamyx packages. This would give ppl the choice of a slower connection for cheaper or pay more if you want faster connections.

However the cap is just plain stupid!! Why bother with having a 10Mbps or 20Mbps speed, if download is capped at such low levels? Might as well just stick with Streamyx (probably better to do so). It's like allowing you to use a Boeing 747 aircraft but you can only fly as far as Malacca not further. Makes no sense.

If protecting bandwith is so important, then attract more people to the slower connections by making it cheaper for the old streamyx packages. Anyone willing to pay more, should have the luxury of using what they are paying for.

And I totally agree, 10Mbps/20Mbps is faster, but not nearly as fast as our neighbours!

I personally think the Time.com fiber broadband deal is better (just be cause it is uncapped). At least there, if you need more than allocated, then you just have to pay more. Everyone wins, consumers and company(who makes more money from people who is willing to pay more for higher speeds for longer than the free hours given)

Boikot Unifi or whatever stupid name they give this service.

Who cares about stupid IPTV. If I wanted to watch all the rerun movies or out of date series, I just download the torrent. 720p to 1080p somemore... HD.. so don't even need Astro Beyond.

Unfortunately, these moves are 4GB each and each series about 300-600MB per episode.

And for the house phone. I have it because it is required for Streamyx, but every month I don't even make a single call from the house phone.. Mobile phone for short calls and If wanted to talk long long.. then just use Skype. Again the cap becomes a bummer!
