The new plans are as detailed below:
1. A new affordable entry level unifi package at 30Mbps for targeted B40 segment. Lower income groups can access high-speed broadband through this package at a price point below RM100 (more than 40% lower price from the existing 30Mbps package). Registration for pre-booking starts 15 July 2018 via unifi.com.my.
REMARKS: This technique is almost like last time the Streamyx Jom Jimat Hebat which is available for target low income group users. 2. unifi ‘turbo’ plans offering more than double the current broadband speed. TM will gradually upgrade the speed for all its existing unifi customers at more than double the speed at no extra cost starting 15 August 2018, while new customers subscribing to existing unifi plans before 31 December 2018 will also be upgraded accordingly in 2019.
PROBLEMS: I guess most of the customers will even complain fierce about this double current broadband speed because same upgrade speed but different package pricing.
3. Special package upgrade for pre-unifi (formerly known as Streamyx) customers in unifi areas nationwide. Eligibility status check will be available via unifi.com.my from 15 July 2018.
Note: All above are subject to technical availability in customers’ areas and terms & conditions.
REMARKS: Well~ Don't expect TM will act fast will available for the Unifi coverage
4. A re-launch of its ‘unlimited’ unifi Mobile postpaid plan, which gives customers unlimited data, calls and messaging. This serves as a convergence offering exclusive to existing broadband customers and will be available at all unifi outlets and unifi.com.my from 15 July 2018.
Bazlan said as Malaysia’s convergence champion, “we believe that internet access is a critical enabler to grow our digital and creative economy towards making life and business easier for all”.
PROBLEMS: If you are telling unlimited data, call and messaging, then do you cap the speed max 3Mbps? Currently, TM serves nearly two million broadband homes, more than 8 million individuals and connect more than 10 million devices nationwide.
He said the plans were to meet Malaysians' demand for faster internet connection at affordable prices, which has been its aspiration since the launch of unifi in 2010.
In October 2016, it announced its Broadband Improvement Plan (BIP), with speed increase upgrades of up to 100Mbps at the same price and completed the exercise in 2017 to benefit close to one million broadband customers nationwide, including 323,000 pre-unifi customers.
REMARKS: I guess some of the customers still did not enjoy free upgrade speed up to 100mbps. SO are you sure?
“Currently, we have started contacting our pre-unifi customers in unifi areas for an upgrade to unifi plans.
REMARKS: In simple, will start to contact for our pre-unifi customers "FOR SELECTED CUSTOMERS ONLY". “For others not in unifi areas, we will continuously invest in our network to provide at least our 30Mbps entry level unifi package through the latest fixed and wireless broadband technologies.
REMARKS: Well~ Pls wait at least 5 years for other not unifi areas.
“Collectively, these new Broadband plans will catapult Malaysia beyond a majority of our regional peers into a competitive set of countries globally with high-speed broadband,” he added.
Son.. You said it all..
I signed the package RM179 for 30Mbps few years back.
Previously when Najib announced the internet speed thing during one of the budget tabling, TM offered free speed upgrade. My area not qualified due to the building cable. All I got was the free 1 year Jumbo pack for HyppTV.
Then they offered + RM10, free upgrade speed. Not qualified too.
Now the same thing, upgrade speed...and cheaper 30Mbps for B40. I'm not qualified for both again.
Seriously, WTF?
Similar boat.. Luckily for me, managed to get the price reduced to RM139. Was hoping to reduce the price further cuz I strongly doubt they'd come upgrade infra. Folks like us be screwed again cuz don't qualify for both.
