The idea for pay for use is mine.
TM doesn't like the other, they want to continue with the FUP CAP policy, for Streamyx and for Unifi too later.
I hate being capped, i think its stupid and it's a weak excuse for lousy traffic management policies.
I'm in favour of the utility consumption model i.e. pay as you use.
Unlimited users can still get unlimited but they will need to pay a high price e.g. Unifi BIZ20 package.
If you don't want to pay that price, then its pay as you use.
The rate can be discussed later but i thought that RM1 = 1GB is reasonable comparing against other prices here locally.
Of course, change the price as the market changes e.g. bandwidth becomes cheaper.
Keep the speeds as advertised. 1MB is 1MB. 4MB is 4MB. But users pay the more bandwidth they use i.e. the more they download (don't care what you download, not TM's problem).
No one appointed me to speak to TM on your behalf. And i don't pretend to them that i speak with your voice.
I speak with my own voice. If you disagree with me, that's ok, i am open to listen. If you convince me, i can always change my mind.
But it is my right to speak to TM as i wish; no one here can tell me to stop talking to them. I'm a customer too. And they have been quite open with me, asking my opinion and asking me to help whenever i can, so why not i be open with them too.
edit: pay to use is of course not "my" idea. other people have used it before, e.g. YTL YES, TNB, Syabas, even Shell and Petronas, lol. I just thought that it would be a great way to naturally control traffic (people dare not overuse otherwise it means huge bill).
Your buddy Zamzizam thinks about himself and makes some decisions -- making the entire nation suffer. Decision is costs remain the same, but provide less. At present, for the price we pay, we should be getting A LOT MORE. Way below market standards. Do not debate that costs are expensive because your buddy Zamzizam says so. Annual profits are indicating otherwise. In fact, 1,500,000 x RM100 (monthly avg) == 150,000,000 million a month. There is virtually no competition. Do not debate this because the minister says so. You do not even agree with your buddy's decision.
You now think about yourself and make some decisions -- will many to suffer and TM to prosper. Decision is paying the same STARTING amount, and MORE* based on usage, while still offering BEST EFFORT. So if international links die, high latency issues (oh you really have no idea do you?), packet loss, outages etc... Are you suggesting that TMNet will NOW be responsible for all these? You are a genius. They earn more, and offer the same amount of promise. For all you know, they can still cap as they like. ?Did Zamzizam offer you his used car?
If you are fighting for us, why are you not fighting for them to provide MARKET standards? Or at the very least, BELOW market standards but NOT all the way at the bottom? Why are your suggestions based on people paying more when we are already given very little? Sharing profits with Zamzi eh?
