that's the question, i think they will not change price after 2yrs (from unicool experience). even it change back to rm160 month after 2 yrs, you can do this:
unhappy path:
- terminate again and subscribe again rm89/month package
- let say NO MORE 8mb rm89/mth offer after 2 yrs, surely the 4mb rm88 still will be there -> new subscribe 4mb rm88/mth (just have new contract 2yrs) ->back to your old time

happy path:
- after 2yrs, they never change to rm160/mth, continue use as it

- after 2yrs let say NO MORE 8mb rm89/mth offer after 2 yrs, 4mb rm88 still there or newer better package or unifi already present at your area.
thanks to 2 guys from Streamyx 8MB thread informed these (every time open new streamyx will imposed cost below)
- stamp duty rm10 new subscribe; change number rm20
- cable existed, installation charge only rm35 instead rm50
- then you get new modem, phone, hpptv (default for 8MB- rm100 installation 1 time deal)
If I'm a Streamyx user who paying so much to the money sucker company, this is exactly what I will do as what you said on this post.
According to the T&C of this Streamyx Bonanza Campaign promotion (as of 7 Nov 2017), it lasts until 31 December 2017 only, meaning that you won't be able to enjoy this offer from 1 Jan 2018 onwards.
But who knows, TM may extend promo period to anytime they like... Just like how TM keep on extending webe's RM79/month plan over and over again, saying that "promo last till ___, this is your last chance to grab this offer", bla bla bla... as if this is their tactic to attract customers to aware about the plans and to quickly subscribe to the new Streamyx plans.
So guys, don't be skeptical until you think like "yer... i have to pay the original price from 25th month onwards, i don't wan liao... why this TM liddat one...."
Ok let say now you take 8Mbps RM89/month plan, this is what will happen, according to the T&C of the Streamyx's promo now (7 Nov 2017).
| | During 24 months contract | After contract, 25th month onwards (if no more promo price) |
| Speed | 8Mbps | 8Mbps |
| Price | RM89 + 6% GST = RM94.35/month | RM160 + 6% GST = RM169.60/month |
| Price x 24 months | RM2264.40 | RM4077.60 |
| Difference | | +RM1813.20 |
Cannot tahan to pay that kind of money, feeling want to downgrade to cheapest 1Mbps plan?
Or you choose not to do anything now and maintain your existing Streamyx 1Mbps plan? Fine.
| | During 24 months contract | After contract, 25th month onwards (if no more promo price) |
| Speed | 8Mbps | Downgrade/maintain to 1Mbps |
| Price | RM89 + 6% GST = RM94.35/month | RM110 + 6% GST = RM116.60 (non-promo price) |
| Price x 24 months | RM2264.40 | RM2798.40 |
| Difference | | +RM534.00 |
Still, you eventually still saved a lot of money in the long run. Imagine how much money you've saved in this 2 years.
I know many of you guys think "I want to enjoy this offer price forever." Duh, who doesn't want that? I want to enjoy that kind of offer also. But in this situation, you got to be grateful for how much you can save and enjoy as much as you can. And who knows TM introduces might new introduce affordable Streamyx plans again like this Bonaza promo after your 24 months contract ended? 2 years is a long way to go, and the things can change in this 2 years...
Let say now, 2 years has passed, it's now 1 Jan 2020, what if TM being stingy and doesn't offer Streamyx promo back in end-2017 anymore? Either you downgrade back to whatever Streamyx speed/price plan that you used to enjoy/pay before you upgrade to the Streamyx plans back in 2 years ago (end-2017), OR go for Unifi if it's available in your area by then, OR find other internet plans solutions such as unlimited wireless broadband similar to the plans offered in 2017, like the Digi Infinite 150 plan or webe's RM79/month plan.
Hope my advise somewhat helps you to decide a wise choice, for now.
