Everything.. STB, Router, Modem, BTU, Phone (handset + dock)... All power cords, adapters, maybe even Ethernet & hdmi cables.. Just pack all up & drop off with TM.

I commented from experience during a previous termination by a pal, they requested everything.. Probably cuz we are expats.. Besides, didn't need any of the items laying around anyway.. Was either strong-armed or changes have been made.. Noted.

No issues here; downloaded about 60GB from multiple torrents.. All completed and seeding.. Full speeds.. Check the torrent file, probably not enough seeders. Else, try rebooting everything including PC.

Is your friend within the same building or say street as you for a fair comparison? As most time, the issue arises from a fault closer to home.

Using VPN, Ad block or some form of firewall on the phone? DNS setup on the router for all or just the PC?

To terminate, you have to call TM or must visit a TM point. Then if out of contract and want newer equipment.. must return also.. Better Call or walk-in to negotiate everything.

Jeebuz.. .. That price... That speed.. TM

Pays RM249... Downloads 12GB in less than 4 mins.. So much win!

Yeah.. Corrected.. Here's to hoping TIME expands to my building.. TM's contract will be up in a couple of months.. Will terminate & not look back..

Interesting to know.. Checked & not under coverage area.. As expected..

Unfortunately, from a business standpoint, makes sense.. It's either the majority of TM subscribers make enough noise or TIME improves coverage significantly, stealing TM's customers in the process..

Perhaps, someone make a post with detailed steps showing the best way to force either company's hand.. About time to foster healthy competition amongst themselves like the mobile telcos.

28Mbps is close enough.. They won't be bothered.. More so if thats the speed you are getting over Wifi.. Probably means that full speed is achievable over an ethernet connection.

Well that's your take.. Technology won't be what it is today if advancements were not made and everyone simply sat & accepted their fate. When the black & white TVs were released, should we have stopped there? Or perhaps, stuck with dialup speeds with the 56k modem.. Please do not contribute to the legend that Malaysians love slower Internet speeds..

Edit: We demand more.. If TIME can do it.. I'm fairly certain big ol TM can.. Besides, imagine how much more we are paying, and could have saved if the pricing was truly fair. The sudden rush to get as many people to renew their contracts makes sense now..

Relax, no need to get your panties in a bunch.. He was kind enough to share his take.. I shared mine.. At least both posts are related to the issue @ hand and this thread.. I even used a "tongue in cheek" emoticon... It appears you have nothing relevant to contribute and can't fathom the idea. Kites.. That way - - - >.

A hint of sarcasm?.. But.. Meh.. Nothing personal as pointed out... Thy opinion is noted..

Valid points.. The only part I'd disagree with is suggesting a particular speed is enough for most people, based off your perceptions of what others "should" need... The same mistake done by they who must not be named. That's exactly how they get away with overcharging us.. Now imagine if TIME decided to do the same? Kept prices up or same as TM.. Most would still assume that paying RM250 for just 50Mbps down & 20Mbps up is fair or that they won't possibly need 500Mbps or even 1Gbps.. I'm sure you have your reasons beyond being able to afford it; to subscribe for the 50Mbps package rather than the cheaper 30Mbps package.

In an ideal world, all corporations will figure this out and make compromises. However and most won't blame them (I.e.shareholders), profits & shafting the masses is more important. Glad we all agree on much lower & fair pricing for quality service across all tiers.

Been browsing around and so far it's been mostly good news. "Time" will tell..

Reboot the router.

Waiting would be wise.. No issues there since your place is within its coverage. Mine's trickier.. The building right across the street is TIME friendly but not TM friendly and vice versa.. It's a long shot, but one can hope..

Half-crazed masses.. Chuckled at that bit.. Conjured an image of caricatures foaming at the mouth, demanding TM cancelations & TIME registrations..

For me, I'd finally setup a nice home/work server, better personal cloud computing.. Dedicated seedbox & better HD video teleconferences.. Just to name a few..

Your imagination.. So vivid.. Much hardcore.. Hope no one gets any ideas..

I'm also interested in TM's response to this.. Based on the recent rollout of the Advance 30 & 50 plans. Numerous complaints about connection quality, poor routers, insufficient or problematic ports, etc... Its clear they either don't have a handle on it or don't care (money's on the latter). Can imagine how much more mess free-bumping everyone to TIME's new speeds will create. Have to replace a ton of hardware, while getting rid of the ones currently in stock. I think TM's best bet would be to significantly lower current prices, offer better and consistent services and introduce/match TIME's packages. A step further would be even cheaper prices than TIME.. Of course, these are just dreams...for now.. Reality? Eh...

Yep.. All part of the hardware replacements.. I wonder how much doing such will cost and if it's even feasible..

From the ground up and floor to floor? Oh wow... Well, that settles it.. No way TM's going to do that.. Newer building constructions or future area roll-outs.. Perhaps...

However, in case they are actually listening.. Hey TM, we love surprises!!

I must commend you on your extreme patience and optimism; hitting the compose button and firing off an email to TM's CS... Then only wait for a response .. For me, its either via telephone or in person @ their office; depending on case severity.

Come, we laugh together now.. That's until we have to pay the next bill, while thinking how much cheaper or more service one could have gotten with the same amount on a different ISP...

Here you go... Hypptv is subject to penalties if terminated within 12 month.. Means must pay the total sum of the remaining months.
