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

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

hmm this is tough ler.. hard to know who to believe ... some say got caps, the rest say no more caps.. lol

i wanted to join the boycott... but since they are holding from putting the caps till the end of the year, im going to register for it.

that analogy is not accurate. heck, analogies are for people who cannot deliver their points coherently so they rely on analogies. like you.

check a few pages back, a moderator has already explained why line sharing is not illegal and not ethically wrong. in short you as a consumer are NOT paying for a dedicated line, thus the line sharing and when you share you should try to be ethical and not hog the bandwidth.

so shut it already with the cookies, apples or any other analogies you uncreative lot come up with.

signed up anyway. dont have the same concerns you lots have

installation tentatively on the 5th of April.

will do. i should contribute to this community

Added on March 31, 2010, 12:34 pmoo just thought id let u guys know my astro canceled already. we think RM135 a month is too pricey for the amount of time that we spend on it

we think terrestrial TV offerings and other news and international channels from TM are good enough for us

first i thought i needed the sports channels, then i realized that i only watch live Man Utd matches so there are a few options there:

a. those free albeit perhaps illegal online live streaming like PPPstreaming
b. Mamak or MCD

you see... the cost associated with astro's sports channel (RM35+ if im not mistaken) is not worth the money for me and my family. so, cancel~

but i cant deny this i know that malaysians love the sports channel

I'm staying in Subang. At first wanna try 4mbps streamyx but my line attentuation very high so im sure the line wont be stable as it is now at 1mbps.

mane ada hehehe.. give TM some credit lah.. eventually everyone needs to jump for FTTH right? even now there's no limit on download per month. i wont push it la, last month i downloaded 100GB only and that's because i bought a new HDD...

so yeah, ill simply be enjoying this service for a longer period compared to you guys hehehe

you guys protest, make the service better, while ill enjoy the ride ok? i dont see how it can be worse than strreamyx for the price; not to mention free phone calls, 10cents/minute to mobile, free IPTV with cheap movies and other shows on demand, and stable 5Mbps internet...

cant beat that... 60GB limit? big deal (and no limit till end of year)

------

tl;dr version: I'm thinking positively, the concerns you lot have is nothing but a small pebble <--- i dont mean it in a bad way, your concerns are valid so long as it applies to you.

alalala, they are not that stupid le; none of you guys are giving them any credit. at least they responded to the public outcry about the low cap. as of now they will take their time to determine the right amount of cap. im not the least worried, i dont even think 60GB is too little...

SS19/5B. in front of the shop houses

so residental customers can opt for BIZ packages too? confirm?

as of now, without the caps on VIP package, i dont see why anyone would want to register for BIZ unless required by TM

not at all. trial period only to root out technical problems. there were only about 120 testers in subang area, dont tell me you expect them to determine usage pasterns from this small a sample.

cap is the way of the future lah, bandwidth is not infinite, if a small percentage of users are using a large majority of bandwidth, it wouldnt be fair to the rest right?

they wont unbundle it because they spent so much of their money to connect each house. also they want to establish a large userbase to reach a critical mass to compete against Astro. that's why they are giving the decoder for free.

be thankful that they arent charging users anything; when you opted for astro did they charge you for the decoder? they used to, and it was expensive. im not sure how about now.

the statement "20% user take up 80% bandwidth" is true among all ISPs; there's always some a/holes, like, many in this thread, who disregard the need of others to use the bandwidth

yeap. that's why this thread was created in the first place.
