Who's the smart mod that went and merge the boycott topic with this one? The two topics are of an entirely different nature.

Sorry guys, the topics were merged (?!?!) by a moderator who isn't dedicated to this part of the forum, reckon he was acting hastily on a redundant thread report. I've split them again but it's probably not exactly the same as before.

Hello, knee jerk response laugh.gif

That's the T&C of using the TM Website, not of the Unifi service.

They also get out of the house and exercise now and then, unlike Malaysians who seem to spend every waking hour staring at video screens. So less time for viewing.

That's a bit of a sweeping generalization isn't it wink.gif

Well the fact is the price that TM charging us is way capable of offering unlimited.

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

What does TM's past profits have to do with billytong's claim that "Unifi's price is way capable of offering unlimited" ?

If secret recipe were to sell you a cake, you paid full price for the cake, and expect to eat the whole cake, but they tell you that you're not supposed to eat the whole cake, you take a bite and pass it on to the next person. Cause he also paid for a whole cake and should get a bite, and there are many more.

It might surprise you that some restaurants have a "minimum spend per person" condition!

It's unfriendly, but I'd imagine it came about after the restaurant proprietors got tired of cheap people coming in a large group, ordering a plate to share, then overstaying their welcome for hours wink.gif

You're not paying for exclusive use of their Int'l backbone. You're paying for a broadband connection with the added service of Internet connectivity.
Using your same cake analogy (simplified - both you and I know it's not a fair comparison), since you want it for yourself, there are options called dedicated lease lines.
Single slice of cake - cheaper. Whole cake - much more expensive.

Which last I know, in our region would retail in the ballpark of ~RM2xx to 3xx per Mbps, depending on your commit... yes even in singapore.

While I do not have the data on that, but I do not believe cost structure in KL city is 10-30 times more expensive than anyone else.

Hmm I guess you mean that someone else somewhere else in the world pays the same and gets 10-30x more? Or pay 10-30x less and get the same thing?

Using the 5Mbps package as an example - that would mean either 1) getting 50-150Mbps for RM150/mo, or 2) being able to download at least 600GB-1800GB/mo for RM150/mo, or 3) getting 5Mbps for RM5 - 15/mo, 4) or some mix of these..

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.

It's also to give them a large head start against any other IPTV provider who wants to enter the market later.
