I repeat what I posted many pages ago. If the new basic package is for B40, why should they be subject to quota? Their children can also learn a lot from the internet which may use more than 60GB. Also, I too don't mean to generalize, but the lower bracket of B40 category would probably be in areas that are not covered by Unifi anyway, so how is a new basic package going to help them?
PPR residences are covered by Unifi, no? PDRM/Bomba barracks? Single child families renting a room in home coevered by Unifi?
QUOTE
This B40 category is too wide range to use for such purpose. Less than RM4500. Maybe I see this wrong, but if you earning RM4000 maybe you are in Unifi area already and can afford it. But if you're earning RM1000, I don't think you are in a Unifi area?
I'm sure the initiative will help some people, derserving or undeserving. And, it will not or should I say cannot please everyone.

To me this is not about the government or B40. This is about whether TM is really being sincere with the new basic package. Give us some stats on how many B40 in what range of salary it will help.
Perhaps you should ask TM or the Minister.

I think most users don't see the big picture. Got 10X speed upgrade all happy because we tend to think of ourself only.
As I said, why not have 10M with no quota for RM79. Won't that help those people? That can be achieved both with existing copper and fibre. All this while, the non-Unifi areas, and again in general, maybe a lot of those areas are where B40 are located, even if there is Streamyx, it is 1M or 2M. And the price has been RM110-120? How has that been helpful? Those prices should have been way lower from a few years ago to help all those people.
It's a business decision. Whether it be no quota, or 90Gb or 50Gb. As you know TM is a GLC and perhaps 60Gb or 2Gb per day was agreed upon basaed on whatever data we are not privy to except for TM and
MCMC KKMM. At the end of the day, it won't please everyone and it is better to have a diamond with flaws than a pebble with none...
In the past? Perhaps there wasn't enough political will...
QUOTE
How many of us actually ever expected 10X? We thought 2X already was good. I know there are heavy users who want 800M or 1G or 10G. But in general, I think even if it was just 100-500M speeds, most would have been happy for now at least. If TM can suddenly afford to give 300-800M, they should have had enough capacity and why not give some of that to the basic package instead of restricting with quota?
I don't know, it is their business decision. But perhaps TM just wants to assist but not give a free ride...
