Why I don't get this at my gate? Go for it. Better than 8Mbps Streamyx for sure. I need those upload speed for YouTube...

wait.. that's a Unifi, how come it's SDSL? shouldn't it be Fiber?
and not aware that they still have that VIP package..

Last Dec in post #1762, I had written about my line behaving strangely at specific times. My guess then was they were testing to see if my area could take a higher speed...methinks it passed the tests. Forumer rhytion also reported an increase in his SNR...perhaps his area was being tested too. IMO THIS should have been our "surprise" thank you gift in the first place.....dream on, andy...dream on.

You could be right. Maybe it's thru fiber...at this juncture I'm not certain what medium is the last mile delivery for this package. For the time being, I'm not going to even inquire into it. TM has stated in their FAQ that those "surprise" gifts were not the be-all and end-all.



Lets see what else they're gonna surprise us with. Am not gonna hold my breath.

i read your post back then, and i was also hoping for the miracle to happen.. let's hope for a silver lining..

Isn't that just the old Unifi VIP5 5M package? Those users are supposed to get speed upgrade to 10M.

Is this a free upgrade? Or you pay to upgrade package? Did you get 8M at RM140?

No idea...I never really paid much attention to unifi packages before. Old wine in new bottles eh?

It says Unifi and I assume your house is landed and the last mile should be via fibre. Could it be the long rumored VDSL vectoring?

Yes it's landed, and I really really have no idea how the last mile is done bro. The only fiber involved in my life is the kind which makes it easy and fast in the washroom

Those Unifi VIP packages were stopped a year or so ago when they came out with higher 30 / 50M packages. However old VIP package users are supposed to get double speed, for example 5M goes to 10M etc. The price of VIP 5M was RM149. Same as shown in your brochure.

Although Unifi is fiber, for high-rise with copper lines, the fiber goes up to the high-rise but within it, last section to user is still copper. Maybe your area has got some new fiber exchange and will use existing copper line as last mile. Maybe this is the 100K non-Unifi users they mention before.

You could check if your area is covered by "regular" Unifi now, if not this could be something new in your area as above.

mind to share where is your area located at?

call mintak upgrade to 8mb for rm140,

previously i was paying rm 138 with gst so naik to 8mb paying rm148 with gst, kira ok cun

Wow..thanks for the info! So they're trying to foist off an old package to my neighborhood.
When I saw that the upload speed = download, the first thing I thought of was symmetrical dsl. I guess it's just unifi fiber...the black cables with yellow line running along the length have been strung up here.

Now that does not make sense... If your area is covered by fibre lines for Unifi, then it should be for the new 30 / 50 / 100M packages. Why that brochure shows 5 / 10M is not clear. Can't be an old brochure as the date shows 2017. Maybe its targeting specific Streamyx users.

If you happen to call to find out more details about that brochure, please update here.

Yeah they're probably targeting Streamyx users who can't or won't pay more (like me) for the faster unify packages, I guess. Till today I have yet to see a single black/yellow cable going into a house on my street, so I guess I'm not alone. This is a poorfag/cheapskate neighborhood

Maybe apply and see. You could be one of the earliest users of VDSL2 for landed.

in my kampung/house have those black yellow line, but only support up to 8mb but the adsl stat can support up to 22mb,,,, maybe in future they will offer so called 'unifi lite' lel

Wah!! Fiber in yr area can only support 8meg? Now that is a really big TM Thank You Surprise!!

i dont know about the infrastructure but those black yellow line is not fibre in fact i read somewhere its a adsl vectoring thingy that can support higher speed only
