You're right. That's why you can't compare a RM88/month landline with a mobile wireless broadband line like Yes. Unifi's VIP5 which is at RM149/month with a 2 year commitment which adds up to RM3,576 + RM200 installation, and had an initial download cap of 60GB/month. So RM3,776 is the entry TCO (total cost of ownership) of the VIP5 line.
Compare that with a much lower entry level of Yes due to no contract, with a different usage pattern because it is mobile (when you come out of the house you're supposed to be doing something, not downloading large files like a madman/woman). Sure, RM3,776 will get you only around 177GB on Yes but you then have to cost in the premium of
1. mobility
2. no contract
3. the ability to login using one account on multiple devices at multiple locations (1 Yes ID can login to 3 Huddles concurrently)
how much of a premium would you pay for the 3 features above? Additional 20%? 30%? It's even more dude, when you consider a fixed line call is approximately 4 sen/min and a mobile line call is around 12 sen, that's a x3 premium right there just for mobility!
Simple example, you compare personal loan with credit card. Personal loan can give you larger loan amount, lower interest, etc. because they know for the next 20 years you're stuck with them. Credit card limit is low, interest is crazy high, but it's a lot easier entry level and you can potong the card anytime. Same thing, Unifi is like personal/housing loan, Yes is like credit card in theory. Different usage totally, you don't hear people say "damn I don't get a credit card because personal loan give me more money with lower interest!", isn't it?
And by the way, 4GB on Yes is RM82 only not RM120. I think that's one of the weaknesses of YTL's pricing structure, and specifically the cube. People look at it and make a mental calculation: download 10GB = RM300! When it's only RM210, which is a big difference imho. I don't like the concept of the cube at all, I foresee when they want to come up with new packages they will need to design a new cube, because the cube only got 2 sidefaces, which severely limits innovative pricing plans. No point putting their blue cube there but then all the important info like new promotion or additional rebate is a block of text which doesn't appear in the adverts.
The cube doesn't show the rebate portion which is very important.
good opinion! credit card vs personal loan theory! hahaCompare that with a much lower entry level of Yes due to no contract, with a different usage pattern because it is mobile (when you come out of the house you're supposed to be doing something, not downloading large files like a madman/woman).

Although I'm surprised a lot of people agree with my post. 
Brother, you are so sure it will go this way? 
BTW, have you try YES yourself or are you just another selfish cybertrooper of some other telcos paid to put out the fire in YES. 
We Malaysians had been paying through our nose to the existing telcos until YES came along. So isn't this a good & postiive change for all of us? 
Cheers.
One question for you brother.......what does your other telco like Maxis, Digi, Celcom charges you per month for internet......you call their charges cheap and for the poor? And what about their charge for voice call.....cheap too, my foot!!!
