well, if they think of bandwith problem, thats their own problem buy not having enough to provide, the hsbb plan is a failure when they implement the cap thinggy!, i mean ppl pay so much just so they can being cap? or just view surfing + HD viewing, obviously alot of us will be doing alot of file transfering + *downloading*, even for my work i frequently transfer my work project via digital! some files may goes up to 1-3gb! imagine it!

then the HSBB benefits you more than the others even with CAP, the reason behind it is because of the high upload rate, with a normal ADSL streamyx connection u can only get 384k upload which with the lowest possible HSBB u are getting 5mb which is more than 10x faster and there is no limit on upload rate, just download.

Agreed, so far the only beneficial thing I can see is the high upload speed.

This morning i tested my unifi speed again...better than my previous post

wow, the speed increase tremendously!

Unifi speed test results

What!?

Less than 1MB to NY?

As always, great speeds locally.... hopeless speeds internationaly.

After TM HSBB has been launched, what is the price for the 4 Mbps package?

I heard it has been reduced to RM 140/month right for 4MBPS Combo Package?

So, between the HSBB 5 Mbps and the 4 Mbps package, which is more worth it?

yeah, i really love the upload speed! can speed things up for me definately! but den i'm still against the cap thinggy!! due to i also do some heavy downloading files in terms of work stuff and personal stuff!

Answer is quite simple actually. Go for HSBB if u fully utilize/need the triple play service (voice / data / video). If u only need data, then go for 4MB Screamyx lorr ...

That's what most P1 subscribers get INITIALLY!
Typical marketing strategy, the old 'bait and hook' scam!

What package you are using?

Yup....i oso not sure to continue using unifi or not....my test period will end soon...need to decide later..

How long is the test period?

4mb-5mbps is more than good enough actually.

I've discussed this before. Unless you rely very much on in house servers which resides on the isp's own datacentres your international site surfing is limited to around that speed even at the most off peak hours.This comes from my experience of using many fiber and cable connections around the world.

Unless you live in a country where they mostly surf their native language and surf during off peak hours, rarely you can achieve high speeds with international connectivity.That is also because they are unused.

Once the foreigner population increases in a particular area, the international bandwidth which they have will quickly be used up resulting in the same slow effect. There's no free food.

I've tried doing speedtests from many countries like Europe, US, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Australia.
The people there told me don't waste your time getting anything over 10mbps because you'll rarely achieve such speeds if you're the typical internet user. So you might as well save up the extra money because it's like when you go for a buffet meal and the organizer pretty much know how much a regular can eat.

If some alternative isp is able to provide 4-6mbps average access speed in my area, I'll gladly take it up even if it were to cost similarly to Unifi VIP5 even if it's slighly slower by 1-2mbps.

Have you all heard that Starhub's 100mbps DOCSIS 3 cable modem service is not getting enough responses?Many think it's a waste of money unless you share your home with many tenants.

until end of April

If i use the 5 Mbps package, what is the real download speed i can get?
