Streamyx was introduced in 2001 with speed of 384kbit/s.

aiya... so next year no free upgrade... and free iflix ended next year

No free upgrade,
Next year slot for 30mb unifi will be empty,
all current user will be auto upgrade to 50mb

So sales representative will be busy
they might want to fill back the 30mb segment that empty

let's wait and see, how they would offer us..

Free upgrade for Streamyx user is highly unlikely. So we should not expect it.

Obviously TM and even the government wanted us to move to better and faster infrastructure. Giving free upgrade to Streamyx user just make us the Streamyx user stay longer on this old infrastructure.

Possibly, they could offer cheaper/discounted upgrade price for Streamyx user who wanted to switch to Unifi.

Telekom Malaysia is doing R&D on increasing the speed of internet on copper cables. TM is doing research and testing on VDSL2 Vectoring technology. VDSL2 Vectoring allows ISP to provide high speed internet via copper cable. It enables ISP to save cost. Do Google out to find out more.

In coming years we might see the speed for Streamyx packages increased.

Thanks for the information. I didn`t aware of it.

That information is outdated.
TM already uses the tech on high rise building.

They are planning to use on landed houses.

Last I heard, TM 'was' planning to use the tech on landed houses, until the company decided against it due to cost, technical and future proofing issue.

There is no future for copper.
The future is fibre.

Well, the main reason is ---> copper too expensive.....not to mention " hari hari kabel tembaga kena potong/curi..... "

My insider source told me so.
Plus....government subsidy/grant terms and conditions ---> for fibre rollout only, not for copper.

TM plan for 2017 about new Streamyx Value Broadband Package is the supporting evidence....

rm130 for 4mbps can register at tm point or need to use tm agent?

haiz when will TM upgrade infrastructure around town area to support faster than 4Mbps. we have no UniFi option, no TIME RM150 100Mbps, no Screamyx 8Mbps..

my house area support 8mb but not willing to pay rm160 for it since im paying rm130 for now, im waiting for tm plan next year whether they double speed and remain old price or not, even i know they have no plan for shitmix yet..zzzz

TM already double the speed without xtra charges when they upgraded Unifi VIP5 to VIP10 automatically. Again they are treating us streamyx users like dirt.

yeah RM160 for 8mbps too bad TIME not providing to landed, RM150 for 100mbps

we would upgrade UniFi if area covered, but sadly not, not from rural area either btw.

sometimes i go to my friends house got vip20 just go for dota and torrenting..hahaha


i used to live in UK and my old ISP Sky media already increase support on 17mb on copper line..the price if convert pound to myr is slightly above rm160.. huhu

what the hack, just discovered TM capped my 4mpbs speed to 2mpbs

now its offered at rm148 for 8mbps including hyppo free channels/dect phone

same like last year, still no 8mbps port, only 4mbps for RM130. i wait unifi 2020.

It should be available in your area next year or 2018.

I have lodged a report regarding my internet speed. TM downgraded my 4mpbs to 2mbps. Then i received this sms
RM0.00:TM:1-159446 We're trying our best to resolve the report within the next working day, subject to nature of the fault. A one-time charge will be imposed depending on the nature of fault.

Has anoyone ever received thia kind of message suggesting that there will be charges where the fault was.from TM?
