I want TMNet (Unifi) to impose data cap.

BUT... I want them to also provide cap plans...

Let's face it.. as long as there is no cap, many will be abusing the shit out of the connection, leaving torrents on 24/7 etc and download terabytes of junks, just because they can.

So... let's say...

RM 99 gives you VIP 5 with 40GB
RM 139 gives you 80GB
RM 189 gives you 150GB

RM 199 gives you VIP 10 with 80GB
RM 249 gives you 160GB
RM 299 gives you 240GB

etc etc.. ignore the maths and all.. I am sure it sucks..

And if you exceed your limit, you can buy 10GB for RM10 so that you wont' have to endure super slow connect for the rest of your billing cycle.. pretty much like how they do it in Aussie..

I would gladly pay extra for reliable service. At least this is something they can control.

And I hope they would use the extra cash from these extra data plans to upgrade their infrastructure.

I am sure this would be more fair. I mean, if you want to download like crazy and use up the system, go ahead, pay more to support the system.

I would rather pay for let's say 120gb a month and being able to to surf all the time with no issues or download stuff fast as and when I need to.. than to have unlimited, but horribly unreliable connection.

Let's face it. A 60GB cap is ridiculous in 2011. We're doing a lot online these days, and they're consuming more data than ever: HD video streaming, photos backup to the cloud, file syncing service, video calls etc. The base cap should not be lower than 150GB in my opinion, and I'd just call it acceptable, not great.

I agree on extra data purchasing though. No point upgrading our packages just because we've ever so slightly exceeded our data cap.

Hi guys
I would like to ask those who have gone through in Unifi installation on terrace houses. At this moment, I m renovating my house, and I plan to use Unifi when my house is ready. Since Unifi does not allow us to install before renovation is complete, I have a few questions which I need to clarify before i go forward with my reno :
1) Is there anything I can do to conceal the Unifi wiring during my reno? I plan to insert empty trunking from outside to the location I plan to put my unifi, but I have heard that TM technicians have refused to use the trunking provided. Can I know how do I go about this? Can I hire TM contractors or anyone to guide/install the trunking before installation of the actual Unifi, so that I do not get problems later?

2) Any TM contractors which anyone of you can recommend?

3) If eventually I can't get TM contractors to help approve/guide on the Unifi trunking, what should I tell my contractor to install the Unifi? Can the trunking make 90 degrees corners or not?

4) I plan to put all Unifi equipment into my storeroom (i have my LAN there too), but it has to go through 4 set of walls (outside wall, room wall, room wall, storeroom wall). Will TM contractors drill holes onto these walls to pull the fiber cable through? This is the worse case scenario, where no trunking is installed at all.

Thanks a lot guys

My house was undergoing a renovation too when my Unifi is installed. My wall is already knocked when the installer arrives. The fiber is protected by a cheap plastic pipe and the renovator seal the wall when the installation is done.

My house was in a total mess when the installer comes, so I guess it depends on them whether to install or not. I guess they would help if you insist.

why hotfile.com and uploading.com so slow? only 0.5m
and how to bypass "depositfiles.com" and "megaupload"?

Hotfile and Megaupload is fast to me. 566 KB/s almost constant speed. Fileserve and other sites are noticeably slower, less than 100 KB/s most of the time.

Ping a tad too high even for WiFi. Test again using wired connection.

Streaming from U.S. has been extremely slow since last night. Anyone experiencing the same? Speedtest to U.S. ranges from 0.30 Kbps to around 1 Mbps. Usually it reaches 3 to 4 Mbps. Local speedtest is normal.

Crap. Hope they won't take too long to fix it.

By the way, just noticed that it says "60 GB Download per month" on Unifi's website. Meaning the quota, when implemented, will only be counted on our downloads? Uploads will be unlimited?

Unable (not slow) to connect to many international sites. 100% timed out on sites like Forbes.com and Speedtest.net. And my IPTV won't even work. Local sites like TheStar and LYN are fine.
