You guys are expecting for 1TB of cap. Common even some website packages do offer  20GB of bandwidth quota. But then if you're a heavy downloader you're screwed. For me and to be honest , I rather have the cap which is rather reasonable , umm say 75GB for 5Mbps

I dont want to suffer with slow connection just like streamyx because of certain group of self-centered folks who think that they are the only ones that are paying taxes and downloading things 24/7 !

On what grounds do you say this? Do you know something about TM's cost structure that we don't?

For your information, 60GB is MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. No one asked you to surf youtube. No one asked you to download songs. No one asked you to download movies.

Reminds me of :-

Boycott Astro Max

Boycott Call of Duty MW2

Boycott Left 4 Dead 2

Trust me , its not going to work. You can try. TM will just execute plan b. Well lets advertise no cap and then screw up users by providing slow speeds. Once most of the users realise that they have been rick-rolled by TM , there would be a lot of users would say that the cap is a must so that they can enjoy high-speed broadband (my POV that is).

Errr.. i thought they already update their Twitter saying that no capping involved? Why so serious now?

So seriously, get off your moral high horses, stop blaming the users, its not their fault to maximise what they paid for.
People will always try to maximise what they pay for, and that mentality isn't wrong per se. Just that it gets abusive because companies are greedy, they want to cater to these people but at the same time they want to limit them. Abit of a oxymoron.

Why not ask for them to give us free. Free water, free food, free cars, no tolls, heck, we shouldn't even work to get money.

Added on April 1, 2010, 11:51 pmI used to think of it like that as well. We pay for 1mbps unlimited, so we should be able to max it 24/7 But why do they charge so much for dedicated bandwidth(or those business users) if it's 'cheap'. That term can mean anything. What they meant by saying unlimited from the start was probably that you can stay online 24/7, not that you should hog the bandwidth 24/7.

Now billy, they offered the new Unifi with those caps in place right from the start. It's a new package from them. So whatever your argument about unlimited doesn't involve Unifi.

And the cap thing was a long time coming. I don't like it, and in a fantasy world, I would not want the cap at all. But we have to give and take in this case. For whatever reasons, with 1-4mbps connections, it was already crawling. Just imagine having some of those users converted to 10-20mbps packages.. everyone would suffocate. If you need the bandwidth, go get a dedicated line. Why do you think they offer it so high? Bandwidth isn't free. If it was cheaper, we wouldn't have to pay expensive prices for streamyx all these years.

Well not everyone is a heavy downloader. So to a lot of them, they don't care that much about the cap as long as they're able to have fast and stable connection.

Different country, different ball game. Maybe for whatever reasons we pay for bandwidth higher? It's TM we're talking about here. 

You meant 2GB a day(or 60 GB monthly, even they dunno what terms they wanted to put, now put on hold until they can study it again)? Yeah that was a crap move, but they haven't enforce it yet. I agree with that. We need bigger cap, and different price structure and cap quota of the same package. I would be so into that..  just make the cap bigger!

Added on April 3, 2010, 1:45 pmChecking my daily bandwidth usage, with 4 people in my home on the 4mbps package.. we don't really use that much bandwidth. Less than a gb on most work days, and below the 2gb mark at other times. The only time I go above that is when I download stuff.

i think you don't understand economics, or the real world.

TM cannot just wire-up KL or Penang and just ignore everywhere else in Malaysia; as Hanzo explained.

If you have 2 parents (Family A) earning $200,000 & have only 1 child; compared to another family (B) where they earn $50,000 with 8 children, do you think these 9 kids have the same education & benefits? Surely the 1 rich kid (A) can afford Ipods, PS3, swimming at clubs,private school, etc. The other 8 kids (B) will have a totally different lifestyle.... or you think the parents can just help 1 kid & leave the other 7 kids with nothing??????

in other words, imagine TM only put fibre in KL & everyone in KL get 50mbs internet, but the rest of malaysia no need any wiring, no need phones, no need communication....?

No, we're not talking sktscraper or LRT... just telecoms line.

I hope you will re-read original question to understand the real question. Getting 56k to most of Malaysia is NOT FREE. If it cost, say, $2 billion to do that, that's $2 billion that Singapore DID NOT NEED TO SPEND, becos they don't have rest of the country except their own measly 700sq km land area, while TM has to cover even 10% of our 330,000 sq km.

.... and while its nice to say "just get 10 people to subscribe VIP20", well I'm sure you're thinking you are one of the 10? Tell me honestly, is it OK for 10 people (not you) to enjoy VIP20, while the rest of us (i think including you, me, and most of the people in this Forum!) to have 56k....??

Well, even if you don't mind that (becos you're a really nice guy), I really doubt the rest of Malaysia willing to sacrifice their access to hi-speed (oklah, 1 - 4mbs can say hi-speed lah) just so that only a small group of people (oklah, lets say 500,000 people for argument's sake) who happen to stay in KL can enjoy that VIP20 line....!?!?

As a side topic: you say rural area do not need Unifi..... why is that? are Malaysians in rural areas less ambitious/ less smart/ less desirous than city people? Who you think will dare make that decision to tell TM "hey, stop all fibre cabling outside the cities.... no need to give Unifi to rural area becos they don't need it".... the PM? CEO of TM? Really?

Would anybody now staying in rural area please reply to say its OK if TM just forget about giving Unifi to your home..... I'm sure we'll get very interesting results from that poll

anyway, all i said is just for sembang-sembang kosong sake, nothing serious lah..  whatever it is, this is all we got & we just have to live with it .......
