I think immediately. The sales person asked me if I wanted assistance to set up the Huddle, so I said hey why not. Looked like the connection was live at the store itself (Lot10).
Confirmed that I linked up less than an hour after that.
Added on December 31, 2010, 8:07 pmI've done a side-by-side breakeven analysis with currently available broadband services against YTL Yes, purely on the basis of cost (not looking at quality).
My criteria:
- packages must provide at least 1Mbps. Less than that is a sad excuse for broadband.
- generally no promo considered (DiGi's an exception, because I generally like their service... so sue me)
The results:

Conclusion:
- There is nothing cheaper than YTL Yes if your data volume is less than 2.3GB per month. Above this until 3GB DiGi and Maxis have cheaper packages but only until 3GB at which point they will throttle. So if you use under 2.3 GB most of the time and sometimes exceed 3GB, still want full speed and are willing to pay for it, YTL Yes is still a better deal.
- For the next tier usage (10GB to 20GB) YTL Yes is only cheaper until 3.7GB (at DiGi speeds during promo), 4.7GB (at P1 or Maxis speeds), 5.1GB (at DiGi non-promo speeds) or 7.1 GB (at Unifi 5Mbps speeds). These only throttle at a min of 6GB to 60GB, depending on the service. So IMHO if you don't routinely exceed 5GB per month, then YTL Yes is more cost-effective; however, things can get pretty expensive if you go beyond this limit all the time.
- For the heavy usage tier (Above 10GB) no need to talk lah... as expected YTL Yes is NOT the service for you.
Please flame me lightly where I got it wrong...
i beg to differ
i am using Maxis 3G Internet @ rm99/mth ( discontinue for new subscribers)
this is truely a unlimited package whereby i downloaded more than 30GB/mth and there is no throttle
fyi, maxis hav already deployed HSPA in major towns, meaning the speed is 7.2Mbps
if we wanna save, we hav a choice to subscribe a maximum of 4 multisim @ rm15/sim, and all those sims use the same default profile of the parent sim ie, download of 7.2Mbps and upload of 2.0Mbps, imagine rm99+rm60(4 multi-sim)=rm159 , rm159/5 = rm31.80/sim
we share the bill among 5 users and we pay only rm31.80 each . irrespective wheather you are light or heavy user and maxis is widely available too, not YES.
all sim are unlimited and unmetered too............
