You obviously know that is not how it works. If 100 people use 500GB now, do you think when they have 1,000 or 10,000 users, they are going to give 500GB each? There will not be capacity for that.
In fact, it probably works the other way. If initial users use very little, they will give a higher cap since they think not many will actually use the higher cap anyway.
Whatever it is, it is TM who has the statistics from Streamyx users and new Unifi users to decide what cap is fair. Some users will say 30 or 60GB is enough. Some users will say 300 or 600GB is what they want. There is no magic number to suit all users. There can only be a fair number to suit most users.
These figures are just examples.
So wouldn't offering users to choose their packages be a more better option???
Like for example;
1) 5 Mbps - 30 GB (RM XXX)/60 GB (RM XXX)/90 GB (RM XXX)
2) 10 Mpbs - 60 GB (RM XXX)/120 GB (RM XXX)/180 GB (RM XXX)
3) 20 Mbps - 120 GB (RM XXX)/180 GB (RM XXX)/ 240 GB (RM XXX)
Additional incentives
- IPTV (RM XX/month)
- Phone packages (RM XX/month)
I would prefer something like above... That way, the bandwidth usage is controlled, and at the same time, everybody compromises...
I believe the main reason why people are pissed right now is because consumers can't choose what they want... lol!
