Still not much competition around. Waiting for TIME to improve their coverage and give them a good run for their money.

[1] Learn from mobile operations, buy bandwidth from TM and distribute to a few users. Eg. 4 neighbours join to buy Unifi 100mbps at RM300, each paying RM75, you may sometime use 100mbps if your neighours are not using internet, during peak hours each will get 25mbps. I think this is how mobile broadband works.

[2] The Govt and TM are spending billion RM to build up HSBB2/SUBB till 2019. When they complete most of the infra, it is likely they will slash the internet cost to half (as announced in Budget 2017). Don't expect other telecoms including Time will invest billion RM into less populated areas, to ride on TM's existing network is much cheaper, instead of laying their own cable.

Sharing the resources is always cheaper than each owning their resources. (just like Uber/GrabCar, AirBnB)

Yes.. but the monopoly by TM will still continue and consumers will have to bear the brunt of it by paying through their noses.

TM gets most of its profit form selling bandwidth to other Internet Service Providers(ISP) like Maxis,Digi and etc.
TM owns nationwide infrastructure such as fibre backbone in which other ISPs share and rent.

Yes depends on the area.

So for the areas which has Unifi coverage currently will use the fiber version of the plan. And for area without Unifi coverage will use the VDSL version of the plan.

Not all maxis area is bad n not all unifi area is gud either. Both have gud n bad area

+1. If I can choose, TMnutz will be the last 1 on my shopping list. fark them because of the monopoly shitz.

well based on personal experience all maxis fiber i experienced they all the same, bad.

unifi their internet is good but some area exist congestion problem when peak hour speed drop.

I rather have speed drop, compare to bad internet routing/ez lag when download.

again, from personal experience, which i had experience on different place.

That is why they should invest in submarine cable n landing station instead relying on TM 100%. At least invest in submarine cable.

Well i based on my TM n Maxis fibre customer both have gud n bad area.. It is better before apply for fibre internet u need to research which ISP is gud n wat not.

lol customer.

i talk as a gamer, but you bring your customer feedback into this discussion.

do you play game? heavily rely on line stability game like cs:go. you sure some area maxis is really better than unifi in term of gaming?

i find your statement is a bit weird also, maxis using unifi backbone,

i dun think maxis can perform better if unifi at that area is suck.

you talk as a agent or talk as your experience? do you play game like csgo? which rely heavily on line stability 1.

of cuz they share backbone but not everything.

u can see in /k there are as many unifi complaint bout stability or connection as maxis.. both are a lot similar than u think.

As agent lor..

I never say maxis are better..

We should forsee many more problem like this to come because TM monopolizing the nationwide backbone. Not many company can put huge investment in submarine cable n landing station here. tm pun because partly supported by gov in Malaysia.

Streamyx 8Mbps.. RM160/month with HyppTV box....

would love to see the difference of speed/stability/ping between VDSL and fibre version...will it have difference in theory?

Let's wait and see. Because now Unifi is not stable, sometimes ok sometimes not ok. I still prefer Streamyx because of the stability.

Can this be true for this is d first time i heard Streamyx is more stable than Unifi? I am a user of both services n intend to upgrade d streamyx to Unifi too.

I have heard that many Unifi user complain that the line is not stable. I am still using Streamyx 8Mbps and I do not perform upload a lot.

your payment fees actually sufficient justified for unifi 10mb at least
