The download speed improved by +20-25%.
The upload speed improved by 500% (I can use HD CCTV monitoring from my mobile now!)
Torrent download, not throttled at this moment! (So download is now a few hundred % faster)

The electricity consumption is very minimal.
I don't think you switch off your modem when you are not using Streamyx?

I got the news yesterday (30/8)

[1] TM will launch a product next month and this product will contribute to TM's FY2018.
[2] TM may launch a product to target highrise customers, due to loss of customers to Time. A package for students is another possibility.
[3] 88% Unifi >10Mbps. It means still have 12% (120k) customers getting 5Mbps, could be biz users and OKU.

Then install Kodi + ICDrama. You can unsubscribe Astro.

Haha, not really urgent, we are just white tikus. I treat it as a bonus if I get free upgrade by Oct17.
10Mbps is already quite good for my small family, till my kids grow up or ready for 4k TV programs.
If I am given a choice - upgrade to 30Mbps or additional HyppTV channels, I will choose the latter!
Anyway we shall get 2x speed by 2019. It is just a matter of time.

Unifi Wireless is coming... cheaper than Unifi Lite...

Unifi 20GB (LTE) @ RM59/month.

We should get 20Mbps by 2019.

What I am doing now...
[1] Got a MiBox3s at RM300+, install Kodi, HyppTV Everywhere, ICDrama etc.
- ICDrama or download from ICDrama for tonnes of TVB dramas. (replacing Astro 311)
- Must use a USB mouse for HyppTV everywhere. The H.E. is not remote control - friendly.
[2] Suspend Astro for 2 months and evaluate. It is likely I will move to Astro NJOI (paying ~RM400 one-off) and go for prepaid channels when needed (eg RM21.20 for 30 days for a channels instead of paying ~RM100 monthly) + some basic channels free for life.
[3] Haven't tried Huat88/MyIPTV, just pay RM30/month for all Astro channels (but illegal).

FYI, HyppTV HD channels use not more than 2.8Mbps.

Double the speed (2nd round) and half the price within 2 years from 2017 (ie before 2019) is what Federal Government proposed in Budget 2017.
I don't think the free upgrade is a technical error but a U-turn, otherwise why (1) only selected Sarawakians received the message, (2) obviously stated "before end of Oct'17" , (3) "10M to 30M".
Maybe they had received too many complaints/upset from those who didn't receive the sms.
or it could be due to project delay... defer to next year instead, as first round of free upgrade is still on-going.
or PRU14 defer to next year

Who knows Celcom Fibre RM120 (infra from Celcom Timur) will be available in Sarawak soon, as it just happens in Sabah. Celcom is also a shareholder of Sacofa.

I use wireless Mouse+Keyboard combo (using 1 USB).

Just want to buy back my Astro equipment, keep some basic channels (free for life), and buy kids channels during holiday.
TV box is not really friendly and convenient.
Also Astro app doesn't work at MiBox3s at this moment.
Not planning to get full Astro channels (pirated).

eg Ground floor and First floor are commercial, then go for business package.
Second floor is residential, then you can go for residential package or business package.
So if you own all 3 levels, register under PERSONAL name at 2nd floor for residential package!

The Unifi Lite was offered to new customers in Sarawak at RM129/month (excl GST), 1st month free. (till 30/9)
So for 24 months, equivalent to you save RM5 every month.

Pak Jib already unveiled it 2 weeks ago.

Haha expected. First kill Streamyx 2/4/8Mbps (RM120-160) now want to kill Streamyx 1/2Mbps (RM90-120), will target those low-end users later (RM60-90, RM25) and complete the migration plan. Soon they can remove the copper from the street where there is no streamyx users to cut cost.
Existing users will get price cut and speed upgrade, just wait for Budget 2018/2019 or PRU14 manifesto. No regret as I have enjoyed it in the past few months.
There is nothing permanent except change.

Now existing users complaining so nobody will get it. Happy ending!
Let college/university students, OKU, low-income group enjoy RM99 at the beginning, just like 4Mbps@RM88 in the past. No one should complain!

IMO, TM will be restructured when HSBB2/SUBB project is completed in 2019.
TM may transfer all the Streamyx/Unifi/Webe users to Unifi Sdn Bhd (ISP) and allow other ISPs to join in to compete.
TM will become NBN/Openreach (exclusive) or may merge with Celcom's edotco to manage the telecom infra in Peninsular Malaysia.
Not only TM, other Telco such as Celcom, Time, Maxis are also partly owned by the Govt.

You cannot cancel HyppTV RM30 as it is a compulsory add-on and you had agreed on it when you subscribed to Unifi "PACKAGE".

Relax. Wait till it is launched, we will know the details. Nobody had got it yet. Maybe it is for student, selected areas, selected group only.
RM99 pack - who told you HyppTV everywhere is excluded? TM planned to give RM30 discount every month for 24 months ONLY.
Earlier campaign, 3700 (equivalent to RM37) points, or free 1 month subscription (equivalent to RM137), or free channels for 1-3 months and free activation (RM200) etc.

Think positively.
Were you happy when you first got the service at RM129 x 24 months (RM3096 exclude GST, income tax rebate, incentives from TM) sometime this year?
Why bother the new sign-up incentives? You can re-sign the package (and get another router, incentive etc) in 2019 (24 months from your service date).
Relax and wait for free upgrade and price cut (before 2019) or upgrade to higher speed at +RM10/month if you receive offer from telemarketer!
If you want something basic and cheap, you will see it a few months later, cheaper than 10Mbps @ RM99.

Haha Free subscription on 25th-30th month will solve the conflict and they can retain existing users for another 6 months. By then TM had also recovered its initial investment.
