To some others its a bargain cos you get a DECT Phone and extra 8MB with a TV set top box. Never mind the current cap cos TM is just starting up with their infrastructure investment. Once most of the country has enough infra to cater the service I believe they will reduce the cap due to increased bandwith. But to some extent, I would agree that prices for streamyx should be lowered. 3BB (thailand) offers 4MB @ 590 Baht only which is more or less RM80 (Thailand would be a better comparison than Singapore as Singapore is a small developed country whereas Malaysia and Thailand are developing countries). My recommendation for the prices of Streamyx Packages (with wifi modem, unlimited monthly access ) would be : Speed Price 384KB RM50 512KB RM65 1MB RM75 2MB RM90 4MB RM110

If you compared a normal download of an SD episode of CSI in Xvid mp4 codec and compared it to the VOD IPTV HD quality, you would definitely conclude that the download has better quality. An HD download absolutely destroys IPTV HD in terms of quality. Video Quality Unifi SD < VCD < Unifi HD < Astro SD < Xvid SD download < DVD < Astro HD < Xvid HD download < Blu-Ray But then the download would be an illegal one and it's against Intellectual property rights, unless you purchased the original DVD.

I don't know why the quality is so bad. 8Mbps should be enough bandwidth to stream high quality HD video at 720p. 8Mbps = 1MB / s = 60MB / min = 3.6 GB / hour or 7.2GB / 2 hours a 2 hour 720p movie is the same size. So why is unifi HD so bad? I think it's because they are sending out a 1080px size signal and as a result they have to over compress the file. I would much rather have a high quality 720px resolution than an over-compressed 1080px resolution. If they want to send out 1080px signals their bandwidth should be about 12Mbps not 8 Mbps. I'm sure domestically they can handle the demands on speed, so why did they decide to underpower the IPTV? I could not agree more. They should start with 720p first and only increase 1080p when they are able to provide more bandwidth of minimum 15MB.
