i upgraded from 10 to 20. called them and asked them to give better pricing. got their special discount offered and took the upgrade. of course they tried to sell their hypptv but when i told them dont want was no problem getting the discount.

originally they only wanted to offer 229. i insisted that they had a 30 RM off deal. so the girl told me must check and she will get back to me. next day call and say 219 can be given if agree on the spot to upgrade. so i agreed - 219 without hypptv (just the free channels). pretty good deal to me cause i signed up for 10 MB initially and paid 199 for it.

can anyone sugggest a router for unifi that will give me 4 LAN ports + 1 LAN port for the HyppTV? (ie. min 5 LAN Ports available)? I thought about simply adding another router (from my old ones) to one port but I only need to connect a network printer and a sunny webbox to monitor the solar panels. dont think its worth to run an additional router for that and waste power. any comments? might as well upgrade to gigabit then for better network performance.

i dont think got this type of router, normally will be 4 LAN port + 1 WAN port.
Printer can use USB port, some router support USB Print server

that's a good idea - didnt think of that. the L7 router from tm does come with a USB port. can share the printer through the USB? will see if i can get the manual.

edit: found the manual. must install share port on the computers that need the printer. not ideal but a workable solution. might as well share the printer from the main computer then which is always on smile.gif

tq for confirmation.

lends support to something i suspected:

.. vip10 rm179 (some rm169) no pack, only lousy channels -> get mega/sports pack, sign new contract rm199
.. vip10 rm199 with mega or sports pack for all new users, upgraders from vip5 at end of contract
.. existing vip10 rm199 no contract (like me) -> can't get price rm179 or 169 w/o pack
.. existing vip10 rm199, no contract -> call, complain, yell, scream, get mega/sports after 2 months

welcome to the world of "first users get f'ed" n "never ask, never get". laugh.gif

if your contract expired they will offer you the same as the offers. if not right away let them know u will downgrade/cancel. straight away they have retention pricing for you.

worked for me on VIP10, my wife asked to upgrade to VIP20 then - also can with extra pricing (i think RM 30 off for life but no pack - dont want that anyway).

they did not offer me upon expiry.
and i did not threaten to cancel as i did not know they practice that.

so, if a product on discount had label dropped off, it is ok to charge normal price, knowing it is a discounted product?
this is where the biz ethics come in - it says something about unifi's biz code of ethics, imo.

since the discounted price is not given across board their practise is perfectly normal. just call (its free) and ask for it. i managed to get 219. initially they only offered 229 but i said then i rather pass or switch to maxis. they asked me to wait for a while, was connected to a "superviser" who said if i am willing to commit for another 2 yrs he can give me 219 for life. so i said fine.
