Cuz MX sekritly works for TM !

@MX

If you can, please ask them about the cap.. 60/90/120 is way too low for the price we're paying. We need to know when they plan to implement it, what happens after we hit the cap and if Unifi-to-Unifi bandwidth counts against it. It wont be so bad if traffic between Unifi users isn't counted.. at least we can set up our own Unifi support + file sharing community which should only utilize their local switching capacity. It's pretty lame if they can afford to stream unlimited IPTV @ 8mbps 24/7 but include Unifi-to-Unifi traffic in the Internet quota measurement.

Also, tell them to secure the network properly lah.. I don't want to pay RM250/mth for 20mbps just so some other guy on 5mbps can uncap his line to 100mbps and pay RM149 for it. What's the point in implementing data and speed caps when anyone can just get past it ._.

thats why u should work for TM also..

@Riz

Actually, the way of uncapped via modem config, also happen in Singapore.

If you stay in Singapore, they actually have a rules for that.

Starhub/singnet will routine scanning randomly or hourly, if they detected, first time is warning letter + the penalty charges.

2nd time will be life time ban for your name under starhub/singnet

@Guardioo

TM isn't as advanced as Singapore.. the SG issue is because of the way the protocol functions. This however.. is uncap-able because of a configuration problem on TM's side.

I'm sure you could get away with it if you uncap a 5mbps account to 20mbps (and not higher).. it would take them some time to realize but definitely not 1 hour. It's pretty stupid to want to implement such a low cap when the whole network is pretty much insecure at the moment.

pls ask the cap
and req reduce price for streamyx loyal customer

brian & leon,

Many thanks guys for the information.

Anyway guys have a few question again before i proceed to Unifi...

1) Since part of you have the unifi... the monthly bill according to the package let say RM149, i need to pay monthly at that price rite? but if make call to mobile phone it will show the RM149 plus the mobile phone charges... is there any hidden charges will incurred?

2) Can i register Unifi by phone instead of going to TMpoint? Is it legal by doing that since no proper documentation..

Sorry for my ridiculous question..

MX,

Please ask them either no cap, or higher cap for consumer packages, if they insist on charging us at the current pricing.

20 mb consumer broadband package should at least be 600gb + monthly minimum. Daily caps will not be tolerated

How can Malaysia be highest cost broadband in the Asian region and yet still have cap (daily to boot !) It's just too absurd. Other Isp in the region is cheaper and without cap, so wtf




or, they should reduce the pricings substantially if they insist on using caps.



Even better yet is if they do a mixture of both but a fairer compromise for pricing (cheaper) + monthly bandwidth cap (higher monthly cap) then what is currently on offer. No daily cap



No cap means like a buffet. Eat as much as you want until your satisfied. Nobody ever finishes everything, and nobody feels inconvenienced about limits. If the ISP thinks they can make profit while giving the consumer this feeling of unrestrictive internet, then by all means.

Bandwidth cap, is a fix portion that is allowed, which is fine as long as the price reflects that limit which in my honest opinion doesn't for the broadband cap their trying to sell to us now. And that is the biggest gripe people are having about Unifi How do they expect to cap at such a low monthly bandwidth usage and at that price ?? It's just plain greed

Just like how Malaysia authority has under rated what speed is considered broadband, so has the tmnut monopoly also underated how much monthly bandwidth usage makes a person an abnormal bandwidth hog. In this day and age when the regular netizen uses stuff like utube, bandwidth usage has gone up. Gone are the days when people only use the internet for emailing or web surfing only.

As such how can they expect us to pay premium prices and yet restrict our usage under the premise of fair usage when it was never fair to begin with :/ (remember we were already paying premium prices before, and yet they are scaling prices higher even more still)

I guess this is to be expect of a monopoly when there are few viable alternatives and people only have 1 isp which is lesser of the few evils in terms of pricing/broadband packages/availability.

Thats why lets hope Maxis can roll out their HSBB and compete with TM. In Australia, there are so many ISPs that made the internet market so competitive. TM should follow Australian ISPs by providing a standard speed like in Australian, subscribing to ADSL 2+ means you will be getting speeds up to 24 mbits/s. The only difference in pricing of packages is the monthly quota offered. Besides that, in order to move forward with our broadband services, we really need competition for our Broadband or else TM will just monopolise and have a laid back attitude.

this one must approach the CEO alredi..small fries wont care..

i doubt maxis can compete with TM at least head on..in terms of coverage,TM is bigger..in terms of customers, TM is bigger..TM can play the price/bandwith war..and still not lose to Maxis..

tomorrow more exchanges launch....hopefully mine comes next..

Yup I don't expect Maxis to be better than TM, I am just hoping that Maxis can pose some kind of a threat to TM, make sure TM are on their toes, rather than being confident and laid back

MAxis, TIME, Jaring.. combine also cant fight.

1. I'm not sure about hidden charges. But I don't think there will be any (if there's any, you should argue with TM).

2. Yes you can. I registered my Unifi thru phone call only (1-300-88-1222), didn't have to go any TMpoint to register.
Then the proper documentation will be provided upon installation.

Cronyism makes everything more expensive cause you gotta pay multiple levels of commission and there's no real vendor competition on price, hence the high prices they pay.


Well, since you're already on Unifi, whatever they decide, you have no choice but to pay.


Maxis isn't the only player rolling out fibre. There's another company rolling out fibre, but they're targetting different areas. Take a look at http://www.jalenas.com.my they're targetting pahang first. Not exactly consumer oriented, since its "open-access", but its competition for tmnet

Jalenas should be just the infrastructure and then they would rent it out to competitors...no meh??


a quote from Jalenas..what is ur take on this statement..


by this statement..it makes me think that Jalenas has one fibre straight from my house to the ISP...but they should be following back TM deployment method right??
