Anyone who is on RM149 (free upgrade to 10MBps plan) managed to complain and get bill reduced to RM129? I think I recall reading this before here.
*
Go to TMPoint to remove the voice pack STD20 (RM20) and you will get RM129 (RM99+RM30).

Looking at internet in malaysia it is very disappointing. Theres no such thing as lowering uploads to provide better downloads as to have either you need the other.

If comparing to UK, UK's equivalent of BT is limited by technology, TM is not. TM has gigabit capable fiber optics to homes (GPON is capable of more though) and yet TM limits the speeds. Infact in the UK BT is going to roll out 300Mb/s VDSL with 100Mb/s upload (limit of vdsl standard).

ISPs elsewhere provide multiple PPPOE servers per area to reduce contention and load. You can have a good infrastructure but a slow PPPOE server is going to slow down users. TM only provides 1 server per large area and isnt exactly reliable due to loads. The PPPOE server is basically just your everyday server. Where i stayed in the UK, the ISP had 4 PPPOE servers with different locations and you would connect to the fastest one to you at the time which i would connect to 2 different ones simultaneously for consistent speeds.

So without technical limits, why cant TM provide faster symmetrical internet? They have the capability and capacity to do the same thing as google fiber and they've expanded into becoming a T1 level ISP as well for increased global bandwidth.The expansion of products like NAS and cloud storage services into consumer market will require faster uploads.

There seems to be so much fame here for asus routers not to mention the over pricing. If you really must know the asus routers with wifi AC are only a little bit faster than tp link's variations with a couple mhz difference in CPU speeds. Many ASUS routers are actually slower due to broadcom's SoC while other SoCs like marvel and qualcomm include a better CPU and actual hardware acceleration and we still use vlan + PPPOE which hurts performance on broadcom and many other similar SoCs. The AC68u's CPU is fast enough to handle 300Mb/s NAT without vlan and PPPOE, when you add vlan and PPPOE the speed drops to around 150Mb/s and that does not include QoS performance. I've seen many complaints about the DSL AC68U because of the poor choice of DSL chip, and this comes globally. For VDSL i recommend separate modem and router but not many brands produce good modems for VDSL capable of more than 100mb/s speeds (most of them just use 100Mb/s port while claiming to support faster speeds) and the good ones arent cheap either.

Modems rarely need to be replaced. Some modems can give higher sync speeds on copper but unless something goes wrong its not really the modem's fault. There are FTTH modems, simply look for GPON modems or you can use SFP module if you use a router that has an SFP port which if you dont mind forgoing voice will give your router direct access.

My router on the other hand can perform NAT + QoS + PPPOE + VLANs in software at symmetrical 10Gb/s speeds and is apparently popular with some ISPs even in singapore.

If one day... our TM's Unifi Business is reorganized into TM Openreach (NBN) and TM ISP (to compete with other ISPs), and when both units are operating as separate entities.

Got an SMS from TM saying my 30 to 50 Mbps upgrade will be completed by end of Oct 2017.

First, Feb, then Jun, then Sept and now Oct!

My sister in another town in Sarawak also got the sms. Looks like for a batch wise roll out in Sarawak.

Saw some crew putting in another optic line in front of my house the other day.  Why? Just for this 30 -50 Mbps upgrade?

Worrying if that is the case. Why no over design/excess buffer in the first line installation installed only about a year ago?
*
Why worrying? You should be happy now.
It is likely the additional fibre lines are extensions to your nearby housing estate / lorong which are yet to get the new service.
If you are using FTTH, you are ready to enjoy 1Gbps in the future.
Also extra bandwidth (4Tbps) had just been installed to East Malaysia recently which we might have faced congestion in the past (only 0.4Tbps).

Cause both were using the new phoneline to inform their contacts.

You can now change your new tel # to old tel # (must be at same TM exchange area), ie port in your old number to VOBB. One time charge is RM25 only.
Downgrade your 30Mbps @ RM179 to 10Mbps @ RM129. One time charge is RM200.
Wait for free upgrade from 10 to 30 or 30 to next level, if it is in Sarawak.

keeping the copper wire telephone is a better option at rm1/month especially if ur unifi fixed line no does not come with any free calls.

copper wire does not require modem to be on to use and it is easier option to be used with home alarm since it does not required external power.
*
No more RM1/month since July. Line Rental for PSTN (copper) is RM25/month.

Hi Guys. Just to check. Is there such thing unifi combine webe ?

Anybody tried this before ?

Mobility Pack

"WEBE" name will go disappeared and renamed as "UNIFI" from 16/9.
So UNIFI can be FTTH, VDSL and LTE (wireless)!

so far that I can think off.

UNIFI deliver high speed Internet to users by
- FTTH (Fibre at last mile)
- VDSL (Copper at last mile)
- LTE or fixed wireless to other areas
So ADSL will die.

HyppTV and TM Wifi are "add-on".

You will see it again in PRU14. 2nd round of upgrade in 2018-19.
But the Internet service at your area will be governed by Sarawak Multimedia Commission, instead of MCMC Malaysia.
TM Unifi is only a service provider (ISP). You can choose another ISP.

Hi there,

Im looking forward to install Unifi in my house however when i check with the TM chat rep it says my area is not under coverage. I checked on the website,it says that I am under coverage.

I am confuse at the moment.

So is there anyone could help me to subscribe to Unifi?

Any kind help would be much appreciated
*
The area / the road / the lorong is covered, but it does not mean a particular premise at the area/road/lorong is ready for immediate installation. It won't be long TM will install the new cables at/near your premise. Use "Enter Address Manually" instead.

well assuming my area is a flat instead of an apartment. and the area quite f**ed up in a sense where you also dont wanna live here.

TM can go for Fibre To The Building/Cabinet, then use existing copper wires to provide Unifi (VDSL2 technology). It is more cost effective for TM to keep only Fibre networks from the exchange to your street, instead of maintaining 2 networks (copper/ADSL and Fibre/FTTx).

Not sure, but you will lose your HyppTV, free calls to TM numbers and Upload speed downgrade to 5Mbps.

Need some advice here....im currently using streamyx BB deal 1mbps RM110.

Now Unifi Lite plan is 10mbps RM129. I was thinking of changing plan to unifi.

What's the different between this two type for download volume, download speed, upload speed?

Unifi Lite plan is better than streamyx?

Thanks.
*
Streamyx 1Mbps RM110+GST: Download speed 1.5Mbps, Upload 0.4Mbps, Free Calls to TM fixed line numbers, Others 10sen/min.
[+ Itemized billing RM1, Caller Line Identification Presentation RM3]

Unifi Lite RM129+GST: Download speed 10Mbps, Upload 5Mbps, No free calls. 10sen per 30 seconds. bundled with HyppTV everywhere account.
[If FTTH - Fibre to your House, itemized billing and CLIP are F.O.C.]
or Add STD20 RM20 (Total RM149+GST): 600 minutes call to any local numbers (incl mobile, other operators), then free calls to TM FL numbers.

Unifi Lite RM178+GST: No HyppTV everywhere, but bundled with Unifi Mobile (Webe RM79, Free calls, unlimited Internet). So you can drop your existing mobile plan.

Unifi Lite RM129+GST            : Download speed 10Mbps, Upload 5Mbps

Only need to pay more RM19 permonth and can get faster speed. Should be worth it.

But need to stick to contract 24 months?
*
Don't compare apple to orange. Different products and different technologies offered by TM. They are not created equal.
Monthly difference is RM20.15 (incl 6% GST), provided you don't make calls.
All the streamyx (ADSL technology) users should migrate to Unifi, when ADSL becomes obsolete. It is just a matter of time.
There are some one-off cost you need to prepare, installation (free or pay for better installation, up to you), reset alarm, CCTV, TV box etc.
Contract for Unifi is 24 months, but you can terminate anytime by paying penalty, up to RM860 in 1st year, RM500 in 2nd year.
But subject to price reduction and speed upgrade, as proposed by the Government in Budget 2017.

I don't think Budget 2017 speed upgrade applies to new subscription. If I'm not mistaken, it only applies to existing customer up to March 2017 that responded Yes in the Thank You website (for consent to upgrade).
*
2 rounds of speed upgrade- 2017 and 2019.
You are right, NO @ first round.
I was pointing at the 2nd round.

My autopay billing started already. So early charged me for it. But the price still original price, no RM2 reduction. Is that RM2 reflected at the end of the month on my statement instead of the bill itself?
*
The direct debit amount is always your statement balance (not your latest outstanding balance). If the direct debit amount is >RM20, you will be given RM2 rebate and it will appear on your next bill.
You can pre-pay / manually pay in advance before your bill date to gain more cashback if you have cash rebate credit cards (eg PB Quantum Mastercard. M2 Amex etc), but always leave the outstanding balance at your next bill >RM20 for direct debit and gain RM2 rebate.

FYI, the fund will be partly distributed to expansion and improvement of fibre network, but not necessary go to TM or Unifi. Most of fibre networks and towers are exclusively owned by Sacofa, a company set up and related to Sarawak Government. TM and other operators lease the infra from Sacofa.
