Here is my take on the promotion.
SIB - RM88 1Mbps - TMnet doesnt give free modem anymore======================
Registration = RM75
Online register discount = -RM50
1st year = RM88 x 12 = RM1056
======================
Total = RM 1081 (its the same as Holiday package)2nd year = RM88 x 12 = RM1056
======================
Grand Total = RM 2137Holiday package RM77 - 1Mbps.========================
Registration = RM 75
Contractor = RM 88 (dont trust those contractor saying no need to pay, tmnet will still charge it to your bill. Contractor is not TMnet staff)
1st year = RM77 x 12 = RM924
=====================
Total = RM 10872nd year = RM77 x 12 = RM924
=====================
Grand Total = RM2011 (saved RM126 and you get a free modem)In Holiday package the first year is break even. You only start to save money on the 2nd year though just for a mere RM126, which can be viewed as a loyalty bonus given by TMnet. Of course, there are risk in 2 years contract. What if TMnet introduce a even more better promotion?
Look at the Holiday package. TMnet doesnt care about the existing and loyal customer and they just fcuk them over just to entice new customers by lowering the price. And yet no cash rebate is given for the existing customers. Given that the broadband competition is beginning to stiff up right now, what are the chances of TMnet introducing a even better discount package in the middle of these 2 years contract? Will TMnet be gentlemen enough and give you cash rebate? I highly doubt it. Just look at Holiday package and existing customers.
So for a just mere RM126 a year and a piece of crappy free modem, does it worth it to kiss their ass for 2 years by putting your signature on the form and risk of being fcuk by them return? Well you have consider it yourself, i cant help you here.
