For one 5 minutes YouTube clip would be about 40 MB which cost Rm 3.60. I better spend this money at mamah stall some more got free wifi! For the speed of 5mbs the download speed is 1 MB/s which is RM 0.03/s = RM 1.80/min = RM 108.00/hour. Cheap ?

can somebody pls enlighten me......
i'm a tech noob........just want to enquire roughly how much data we could be using, if
let's say my children are playing online games like DOTA, MFO, etc
from 8am to 10pm daily, while myself watching online TV/movies i.e
PPS, Xunlei, PPtv, youtube, etc
so, what would be the rough estimate of my data usage in a month?
heard that YES speed is incredible.......however, afraid at the end of the month (or the billing date) the amount is MUCH MORE INCREDIBLE!!, so anyone out there who could roughly tell me
what would my data usage be?
thks in advance

If you fully use it, it would cost you easily thousands per month. Thanks to the high speed!

erm if u watch everyday, i'm sure your bill would be very high. online game doesn't take up much data. but it's the streaming movies that takes up a lot.
free wifi not fast, maybe some ppl hates waiting for streaming and don't mind paying say RM30 per month if they don't stream that often.

How often is not so often? Research carried out recently people spend easily 1 hour per day online . Say watch YouTube for half an hour a day , to me is not so much just watch a few clips that would already cost you RM 10/day. A month would easily RM 300.00

i'm planning to subscribe YES, NOT to replace my old broadband, but as a backup broadband. My stupid streamyx damn unstable, 1 day sure disconnect more than 10 times. Complaint 100 times also same... My only choice is to use YES when Streamyx is down
*
Why subscribe to a backup with contract ( in this case virtual contrAct as you would still be charge on monthly basis disregard you use or not ! I think better go for prepaid like u mobile for backup !

a pre-registered user here, am only paid RM99 for the dongle and than can start surfing/download.

I downloaded more than 12GB (Youtube video+Adobe software) already and still  able to continue download and surfing.

Just now login my YESID check balance.
It stated balance is -RM50. -ve means i am in debt?

Just wondering is this -RM50 is the registration/activation fee or is it because i exceeded the 10GB complemental data.

you own Yes RM50 lo. R u prepaid or postpaid user?

Wow! I didn't know that! rclxms.gif This Pennytel thing sounds very interesting. Is the RM15 per month a service charge, or minimum usage like Yes?
The free for all buffet style internet service is unsustainable. Eventually, we'll see all telcos shift to some form of PAYU model in the future, just like how electricty and water are being billed now. Both electric and water are finite resources, so is bandwidth.

If Yes can move all the low/mid users (which probably constitute 70-80% of the current broadband customer base) to their network then I think two things happen.

1. YTL gets to leverage on economy of scale. Low/mid users will watch their rates go down.
2. Bandwidth hoggers get more bandwidth to hog (more speed for the downloaders yay!), but less low/mid users to subsidize their hogging. They'll watch their rates go up.

Guess who benefits from that?

I wonder why you speculate things that yet to happen n it could never happen!

The so called light user is no longer light. Websites had becoming more n more data hungry! Most user will still go for unlimited data plan rather than payu! Payu should be history n I dun see any reason it can be successful. My prediction is YES would have to revamp their pricing strategy or risk being kick out of the race!
