Planning to upgrade from 2 Mb streamyx to 5 Mb Unifi.

Like to know from those who are using Unifi on:

AA
Do they keep the old phone wiring and hook this up to the new fibre unit? I have phone upstair. Hope that they don't have to lay new wiring for the additional phones.

BB
My TV is in the living room while my modem/router are in my study room.

I prefer to keep the existing locations for the TV, routers, PC etc. But I also want to minimise length of cabling.

Can they maintain your original system layout without relocating things around too much?

Thanks.

Hope that those in E Msia can help me here.

Like to know if you have Unifi Advance 30 WITH FREE CALLS (additional request to TM Point). In W Msia, some people can get free calls with the package. So like to know whether TM E Msia practises that or not. I have asked in Bintulu and the TM Point lady is waiting for the boss in Kuching to reply.

BB
How is Unifi in E Msia? Most of the time AOK with high speed or faced with regular slow speed? hmm.gif

I want to upgrade from streamyx 2 Mbps to Unifi 30 Mbps for streaming (AND CANCEL ASTRO!) They have installed the optic fibers in my area last year. So can install here. rclxm9.gif

Thanks. biggrin.gif

Unifi 30, imma try to get free calls.
179 + free calls, lots of customers are receiving the same treatment.

Where are you living?
*
Bintulu.

Let me know which towns your friends managed to get the free calls. Then I will ask TM Point manager to cross check with the managers there. They tend to just follow the normal rules. Heard of some free calls in W Msia. We tend to be behind on things like this. Should stand up and get what we want/deserve! Ha.

At Least you got 4mbps, like I said be4, the Unifi stop before my lorong is one thing, but I only have 1mbps AT MOST. When ask why no upgrade to at least 4mbps, they answer cos unifi is going to reach ur area so wont upgrade the streamyx speed. I been getting this answer for 3 WHOLE YEARS ever since i asked everytime i paid the bill.

Sorry for being salty, I just too upset with tmnet.

If I were you, I would write to the TM Chairman, copy in the Communication Minister, your local MP, your local TM manager, The Star about your problem and hope that they will expedite in solving the problem. Budget 2016 has allocated RM1.2 billion to upgrade our broadband to 20 Mbps.

Good luck!

Know what are the offers? Will drop in tomorrow to find out more.

it should be one of those roadshow like events they have been doing like recently at CityOne and Saberkas. Very likely would be the standard packages. Usually only special offers would be for those long time existing customers whose contract almost expire

EDIT: also can anyone around sarawak and sabah still confirm if VIP5,10 and 20 still available?. Seems like they're forcing everyone to go for UNIFI30 or 50

Aiyoh, standard packages only? I want a killer package for me to jump over! Ha.

Went to have a look at the Unifi promotion at the shopping mall here as advised by TM SMS.

Big disappointment. Same thing as the Unifi promotion last year. RM179 for 30 M, add RM20 for the phone calls, etc.

Was hoping for the free calls this time. No such offer.

No need to waste your time going to offers like this one.

The advance plan 30 Mbps should've been priced at RM 199 by this time, but instead the promo has been extended until further notice.

Hence the "promo"
*
Yes. Just their sales trick. Later they will modify the promotion content, shifting things around and still use RM199 as the original cost.

Not going to upgrade to Unifi till they give me free calls! PERIOD. Ha. Only RM20 extra but they really pissed me off that some in W Msia could get the free calls thrown in.

So different lower class of TM customers in E Msia. One has to pay more.

Wanted to get Unifi 30 Mbps with free national calls but they declined my request. So, I switched from streamyx 2 Mbps to 8 Mbps a few months ago.

Now got a call from TM marketing offering me RM199 for Unifi 30 Mbps (with free national calls up to x mins).

Appreciate advice on whether I should move to Unifi 30, what things I should pay attention to in the package, during installation etc. As this is a new package, I should get free router, cordless phone, etc?

Many thanks.

Thanks. See below.

Do you suffer from spiking? For eg: playing a game and suddenly it lags abruptly or high ping.
If Yes, grab UniFi.
*** No complaint from my kids playing games on the net.

Do you stream video and love high quality content in 1080p?
If Yes, Unifi.
*** Able to watch HD movies using streamyx 8 Mbps now though needs buffering in some cases. But will be GOOD later full HD without any buffering! Ha.

Hates slow uploading speed at 0.5mbps?
Ye, you know it.
*** Uploading is not a problem for me. Happy with 0.5 Mbps.

Do you have other alternatives other than UniFi?
If No, UniFi. no choice. lol.
*** Only Unifi in my town. Much better if in W Msia.

Yes, you should be getting a modem, a BTU(Fibre to LAN), STB(HyppTV box), cordless phone. All for free.

Installation should be free that includes rerouting + drilling fiber optics cable into your house.
Refer to the catalog for more info.

During installation, if you want a cleaner interior and exterior looking in and out of your house, inquire the installer. External charges applies.

Like to know the router model you got for the Unifi in Sarawak/Sabah.

DIR-850L?

Hope we don't get the left over older models in E Msia. Ha.

I think it depends on luck more than anything. If the contractor handling your installation only has older routers like mine then you don't have any choice.

But like once of the TM technician told me, just get your own router as all their provided routers are super lousy
*
Thanks.

Very disappointed with this Unifi thing now. After the TM Marketing call on Sat, got a call from another guy asking me when can they come to install. Later this Monday am was agreed on. Said to my wife that I was very impressed with TM's super fast service now. Ha.

But this morning, no one came.

Called Help 100 and she said the installation is scheduled for next week!

Inconsistent infor within TM.

Hope that I will get at least a 850L. Good enough for me when compared to 2750E I am using now. Ha.

If they are using the older router for me, I will ask for installation later till they have the new router. I can be a pain in the neck to others sometimes fighting for my rights. Ha.

Just go for it if you don't mind about the pricing. Only Unifi can solve my IPTV issue. I got lagging issue during i'm watching CloudTV and MYIPTV with streamyx 8mbps during peak hour at 8pm to 11pm. Some channels even not able to load up and having freezing issue. The line become very lag during I'm watching IPTV, I can't surf internet, slow when loading facebook. The only solution is to switch off those IPTV to bring my line back to normal.

Only with Unifi, now I can watch MYIPTV smoothly during peak hour. I guess this issue is because streamyx upload speed was limited at 0.5mbps. However, Unifi got 10mbps upload speed. I guess most of the third-party IPTV is running in P2P basis. MYIPTV is consumed up to 4mbps download speed and 4mbps upload speed.

Installed Unifi 30 last week.

Better than streamyx 8 but only slightly faster. Cannot expect 30/8 = 4 times increase in speed. Ha.

Phone line now is crystal clear! Good.

Like to know if there are some Sarawak or Sabah users who got the free Unifi upgrade done already.

Your area?

Still waiting for mine.

No one in E Msia has got the Unifi upgrade? Friends in KL area have got theirs upgraded already.

Hope TM will be fair, doing their corporate due diligence in upgrading the Unifi in E Msia as well.

Please dont come back with excuses like they are waiting for some hardware upgrade first.

A friend, my sister and myself got the 30 to 50 Mbps upgraded in the last few days! Finally.

Seems like the upgrade wave front is now going across Sarawak.

Do I see faster speed? Not 50/30 increase, maybe slightly faster. Some small files downloads are definitely faster now.

Hope that those who are still waiting will get theirs done in the coming few days.

Got a call from TM, offering me an upgrade from my 50 Mbps (was on 30 Mbps at RM199) to 100 Mbps for additional RM20. Yes, additional RM20!!!!!!

Saw in Unifi forum and a friend in KL got the upgrade for only RM10/month.

I am from Sarawak. Why are we treated as a 3rd class Msian where we get the lousy service and have to pay more?

Sorry for airing my anger and frustration here. Hope someone high in TM management is reading this. May contact someone in Sarawak govt on this where they proudly boosted about the broadband development and growth in Sarawak. Really?
