Hi all, need help..im currently using 4mbps streamyx since that is the highest speed during the time..now i realize TM box just outside my Flat area got sticker said 8mbps already available..so i quickly find TM agent and i found 1 from FB and PM him. After give all tel no and address then he said cannot upgrade because my flat is to far from that box or something like that. Now, is that true? My current line cannot easily upgrade to 8mbps? do TM need to do special wiring or something?
Maybe the agent knows that there are problems with signal attenuation in your block of flats?
If you want to find out more, I suggest u go to the nearest TM Point, give them your phone number and ask them to call the tech dept to ask if your area really can get stable 8mbps connect.
About 4 or 5 days ago I got a call from TM asking if I want to upgrade from 4 to 8 meg with free Hypp tv for RM150/month...the upload rate is still the same as 4 meg package and I don't really need more download speed, so I declined.
My 2 sen opinion: Shabery Cheek (if he was not just spouting hot air) is looking into reducing internet prices. Should he be successful, hopefully we will pay less. It is unclear if any price reductions will also apply to the rates in a contract. My contract with TM expires soon...so I will wait and see. If you don't really need faster speed for the time being, I suggest that you wait a while also to see what develops.
