why is the speed to US so slooooooow?

TM already knows "...It is a fact that over 80% of sites which our users access are located overseas." our usage patterns...




you pay $149 for a 5Mbit line, as long as they can provide 3,500Kbit to a LOCAL server then your line is considered OK. wow!

who cares if you cant access any INTL sites...so much for the INTERNET. shld call it malaysianet or mynet instead.

yea la. thailand and sg's internet connection to INTL is just as bad as ours. yup i know. i gets it.

someone posted this earlier...man this is all i need...

dont be so sure that with implementation of usage allowances - caps things will get a lot better.

tm only has to provide 70% of the advertised speed TO A LOCAL server as mandated by mcmc. (Source)

with the bar set so low and totally ignoring link performance to the outside world, i have a bad feeling it will be streamyx v2 but with caps.


how can this be?


"...There have been some comments by industry players about a former regulator coming to sit on the board of TM. In July, TM appointed Datuk Halim Shafie as its chairman. Halim had served as chairman of MCMC for four years..."

actually most politicians, higher ups dont want to hear what sporeans can buy with their money and so forth...

i think the point you guys want to make is that the pricing for the VIP packages are too expensive?

maybe we can instead quote, average income of a malaysian / potential customer and how the current package prices relate to it etc

cant debate with theses people mate, dont waste your breath.

one day in the future, and i know it will happen. when i can go to eg.

http://www.adsl2exchanges.com.au/

and check which isp/telco serves my exchange and pick from their service offerings.

i can pick this isp for my internet needs, that telco/isp for my voip and my number remains the same. that will be the future. i hope it comes sooner than later.

actually, most of the mid-income earners in msia already have internet access esp the city folk.
imo this hsbb is not so much to increase internet penetration but to satisfy another criteria of being a "digital" economy/nation ie increasing the average broadband speeds in excess of 4Mbps. right now, i believe majority are on 1Mbps or below.

how are rural folk gonna afford hsbb? well i dont think majority will have any use for a 5Mbps plan to start with esp the elder generation. however, i believe tm has reduced the price of their entry level packages. this will help increase internet penetration in msia by making it more affordable to lower income groups. but then again, what good would a broadband access be if they cant afford a pc or dont know how to use it. anyway it is the students they are targeting and thats the way to go...

iptv useless to them? i think they would be more inclined to use iptv than hsbb. my grandmother watches astro and knows how to use it. but if i gave her a nokia n900 smartphone i dont think she would find much use for it lol.

i am all for download caps as well. however i do not agree with the current 60Gb cap for VIP5.


5Mbits per sec = 5,000,000 bits per sec / 8 = 625,000 bytes per sec

Theoretical Max Usage Per Day:
625,000 bytes per sec x 60 secs x 60 mins x 24 hours = 54,000,000,000 bytes or 54 gigabytes per day

so in essence, the 60Gb quota is equivalent to 1 day ++ of full usage.

i would be more agreeable to a quota of 150Gb per month for VIP5.
ie. roughly 3 days worth of full downloads in a month (30 days) or 10%




*
i assume that tm's calc of the download quota will incl both local and overseas bandwidth. we do tend to use more intl bandwidth vs local, say at 80:20 ratio. that 20% local bandwidth costs tm substantially less than intl but is included in our quota.

anyway that 150Gb cap for VIP5 is just my opinion. i think others should start saying how much they think a reasonable cap should be and not just that they want a bigger cap.

for those that do not want a cap at all, maybe you should specify how much you would pay for package like that...
but use BIZ5 as a guide

Agreed.

another new account trying to do damage control for unifi

but yes i understand, if i were a stakeholder at tm i would do the same.
cyber warfare tactics is getting more important.

belittle, trivial-ise, deny, any bad press about the company or products
trash all competitors

i agree. everyone that signs up to unifi must get the best out of their line.
i applaud you for your efforts.

we need to ensure that the unifi network does not follow in the footsteps of its predecessor.

shall be back. F1 to attend.

that is because IT is just a backoffice job. there are more important functions in the company for profitability than IT.
if i need to send something to a client, just make it happen!!
if you cant do it, there are more than enough uni grads to take your place.

"if i take a sh1t, make sure the toilet flushes" your job is just lsightly more important than this. gets it?
