My friend applied to upgrade from 4Mbps Streamyx to 30Mbps YESTERDAY. Just got info that the Unifi installer came TODAY to upgrade his line.
Quite fast they come after him!

If applied thru agent confirm very fast for commission.
today the tm agent came to my house to offer me the same rm179 plan too without voice plan (rm20).
It is good for those who do not use the telephone line at all but instead using mobile phone to calls at all time.
Else all the usage will be charged as per normal since there is no call plan (rm20) which it has 600 mins talk time free to tm fixed line.
tomorrow can install already. A lot faster than applying online (online has 1 month installation but only rm199 option)
I am on streamyx 4Mbps now. I told the agent that if I need to maintain the current copper phone line at free rental with only rm1 monthly fee due to upgrade to unifi. He said rm179 is only applicable for new sign up. cancel streamyx and sign up unifi.
If upgrade - from streamyx to unifi but retained the existing line with rm1 monthly rental. The rm179 plan is not applicable. Plan will be rm199 instead but with the free voice plan like the usual 30Mbps plan.
So end up I decided to go with the agent for installation. Rm199 as I want to keep my existing line for home alarm purpose. My home alarm I think it should be ok to use the unifi telephone line too since it is using RJ11 too. However, I prefer to keep the traditional copper telephone line for home alarm usage as it does not require electricity or modem to be on like unifi to keep the phone line active. So I do not mind to take the rm199 plan since it is just rm20 more per mth.
With this quick installation that can be arranged tmr, I would give up the free 1 mth for my online application. I submitted on Wednesday, till now not even any order processed as once the TM HQ sales department received your online order, they will call u to confirm ur application and after that, it can take up to 7 working days to process the order for installation appt. I just signed up with agent just now at 7pm, picked the telephone no, user Id, immediately order email sent to me from tm system. Good thing is the agent can even arrange the technician to come at 6:30pm+ tmr to install. That's superb fast. I can't wait to have the unifi in my house immediately.

the agent told me the installation fee from my house door to my house wall, the portion of wiring and casing costs rm170 nett. Is it the same as you guys? Mine is landed. It is not those pole type but the distribution point is those green box that is outside houses.
Even yesterday I went to tm point to submit another order for my parent's house for unifi application. There is already order in the system After 1 hour time. There is even appointment date set in the system which is this sat 29 oct morning. Think there will be technician to call me on this soon to confirm. However, isn't that this sat 29 oct depavali? They do install still oh? So good. Funny thing also I called tm 100 they told me my parent house no more ports, but I checked at tm point they said still left two and the order can go thru so I am sure it really has port. How come two parties have inconsistent result in checking availability.
So in total I have two installation for unifi at both my house and my parent house.
