That's why we're getting people to post results.
so? it still doesnt give you, a non-user, from complaining about a service you've never used. ive heard nothing short of satisfaction save for a few bad connections to the US servers from the trial users. they are downloading at close to their max speed when connected to multiple connections. the IPTV is flawless, no technical problems there and the same goes to the dect phone service.
what does a chicken user like you have to complain about?
QUOTE
Triple play service that doesn't provide people with anything they really want. You call that
value? Landlines are hardly used by most people anymore, IPTV channels are a joke, and guess what, you're paying for it. You call paying for something you don't want/need value?

Amazing.
it has to start from somewhere, and those are the free channels anyway, as they go along new channels will be added. your vision is too short-sighted. you expect them to compete against astro in terms of channel listing even though TM has just started this service not a few weeks ago?

So if a rich person thinks a nasi lemak worth RM5 is good value, everyone else will come to the same conclusion? Your impeccable logic amazes me. People with high income CAN AFFORD the prices, people with lower income can't. The cost may be the same throughout the whole country, but the disposable income of the people staying throughout the whole country is different (and many times, by a large margin).
what an idiot. you are comparing an internet service to nasi lemak. nasi lemak gets its raw marerials from local business - rice, santan, eggs, all the ingredients to make them are cheaper in rural areas. whereas is it much more expensive to connect rural areas as the population is more sparse, and the user uptake are considerably lower. you simply cannot compare the 2. in fact TM is doing the rural area residents a favor by offering internet connectivity at the same price urban areas are getting.
let me just say this again, you are a
retard for comparing internet service to nasi lemak.

Look at how much we're being charged for broadband compared to other countries all around us. Compare it dollar to dollar, and you'll see that our internet is bloody f***ing expensive.
you mean indonesia and philipines? I kid; sure, you meant singapore and probably thailand. tell you what, since you proposed the point, you should come up with the source. where is this source comparing the broadband service prices across the region.
QUOTE
Sub standard service includes
- Throttling
- Slow speeds
- Bad pings
- Unreliable connections
- Frequent downtimes
as lame as an ass. all you are doing is speculating. you have no points just like the rest of your post. you are an idiot with a foolish agenda... non of your accusations has materialized but you are pointing them out as if they will happen.

You don't have numbers as well do you? I spent 30+ minute loading a 3 minute youtube video, tell me how that is great service? My 1mbps line is downloading files at 30kBps (from gmail), tell me if that is great service. (My ADSL signal is fine if you're wondering)
Out of their own pocket?

They were subsidised by the government, do you pay your taxes? I do. So they did use my money to build the infrastructure and yet can still charge high prices? Utter bollocks.
aaa it's fun to see my point flying past above your head. what i was saying is anecdotal examples are useless. just because you are experiencing a bad service it doesnt mean the service is bad as a whole. if anecdotal evidence is a valid point of argument, i would like to point out that everyone in my neighborhood has been having a wonderful streamyx service for the past 2 years, all 1000 household... believe me, because i've asked them. 1000 users vs a single user like you having a problem, that' 0.1% bad service rate, so streamyx must be great

tl,dr: your anecdotal evidence is useless in measuring the service quality; so shut it already with your problem from downloading asian porn ok?
QUOTE
Your argument doesn't make any sense anyway. Any sort of business needs to make an investment to provide infrastructure and support for their products. Its not like they're giving it free, if they want my business they need to make things attractive and provide a good service. It wouldn't be so bad if they used only their own money, but the government subsidised them, which means that I paid for the infrastructure as well.
they invested 9billion into the infrastructure, and you are saying that they cannot decide on the price points? are you a communist? why are you against capitalism. at RM150 per month there are thousands registering for the service. why? because they "provide a good service". prospective customers are attracted to them. only download monkeys like you refused to subscribe to the service because of the possibility of a cap. tell you what, none of us users are TM miss you 6%.
government is only subsidizing RM2billion probably to connect rural areas where no other ISPs would due to the low ROI.

I wonder if you know the meaning of the word 'apathetic' in the first place
haih, condescending much? this is how you deliver your points eh?
im not apathetic. i saw a good service and give them credit by registering for it. you on the other hand is too butt hurt because TM is going to change your pirating lifestyle.
QUOTE
Credit is given when credit is due, and they've not done what I deem necessary to give them any sort of credit. Until they can make a promise and even put it in my contract, guaranteeing a certain level of service quality, only then I'll give them credit because it shows effort and commitment to quality.
Just watch, as most of you are happy with unifi now, give it sometime, and you'll all be complaining like you did with streamyx, and why? Because you all signed up for a 2 year contract which doesn't promise or guarantee you anything and you can't do shit about it. You never fought for your own rights as consumers. and you will rightly get fleeced because of it.
If you ever used the internet in other countries, then you'll know why I say their service is sub-standard and this is not my opinion alone. Friend who came back after studying for a few years in US, UK, AU, JP all say the same thing, internet here sucks. What's the main difference in these countries? The consumers fight for their rights, and make the companies listen.
haha you are so full of shit. all your points are based on speculations on your part. just fyi, i just got back from the States and i can say the AT&T adsl service there suck more. it's not all gold and roses there. they are having problem with connecting the whole US with fiber anyway, and TM is doing it for free for you without a guarantee a butthurt like you would register for it.
