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.

Ok. But now UniFi is being marketed as being capped (they are being upfront about it). So, why are people still complaining?

And the notion that TM has a monopoly on broadband only holds water in this forum. Maxis, Celcom, P1, Digi, Time, Redtone, Jaring, etc all have license to offer broadband. Maxis already have FTTH available (on "trial"), but are not rolling it out fast enough. Time already have a few buildings wired up. P1 and other WiMAX providers can easily provide "high-speed" wireless broadband (it's just that they are not pumping enough bandwidth to their towers).

Also, all the big players have their own backbone/Metro-e network and also international links. So, they don't actually rely on TM. So, apart from TM owning the legacy "copper", the new world of high-speed broadband is free-for-all.

BTW, the only reason areas such as Puchong, Sungai Buluh, etc are getting UniFi (eventually) is that the Govt is co-investing. If not, only "rich" areas such as TTDI and Bangsar would get it (just like what Maxis and Time are doing).

p/s sorry if this sounds pro-TM, but the amount of crap being thrown around in this thread is absurd.
