Yes, I think many users would want internet only package. But I think HSBB was marketed with multi-play / triple-play. I think this is why others using TM HSBB infra also cannot provide internet only. For example, Maxis has to include voice as well. At least 2 out of the triple-play and cannot be only internet data.

Its unfortunate that the HSBB infra was not formed by a consortium of telcos / celcos / govt which would deploy and maintain the nationwide infra. And each player would then access it to provide whatever packages they wanted to provide to users. I think consumers would have benefited much more that way. Instead of one player having control over it. This would have allowed for many small players to even focus on providing good service in smaller areas, not necessarly have to provide nationwide coverage. The industry would have also benefited that way.

I think there are 3 ways that Unifi internet only would be possible.
1. Competition from a existing player such as Time if it can increase its nationwide coverage especially to residential houses.
2. Competition from a new player such as Broadnet if it can deplay a nationwide infra and offer better rates.
3. TM itself makes changes to its policy or keep offering high discounts on packages which effectively means you are getting the extras for free.

What could it be?

Rename streamyx to Unifi with a new package and called it Unifi Magic box with 1mbps download? 

1Mbps also they can call triple play, play 144p video hyptv + call using skype +browsing kopitiam text with no picture in it(low bandwith). its nothing new lol, we have seen this since streamyx era. problem is who want to watch 144p nowadays?. their so called triple play is a very loose term. if they say HD(720p) entertainment hyptv, Internet, voice(ip phone), then it will be good for nationwide.

previously all inclusive 6% services tax.... after gst implemented become exclusive....

Cannot wait what TM got to offer in June. Either same price double the speed. Or same speed half price.

I would choose half price. Im happy enough with 50mbps.

so i guess this TM BAWANG has nothing to do with current plans?

i believe tm won't bring down price as it hurt their business. Q1 already loss profit. maybe they can offer double speed.

good info. so far it didn't happen to streamyx users. so i didn't see it will happen soon to unifi users. anyway.. stay positive hopefully will get good news with new minister.

Does anyone knows what is the status with TM new plan offering in June?
It was not an official announcement by TM but leaked I think a few months ago.
The new plan is not using fibre optic and using "box" which you can use in any house.
This is not unifi wireless broadband because it was mentioned wired broadband.

Edit:
Here is the article.

Is this got to do with the Bawang ads?

To be fair --> The budget had been allocated by previous government and given to TM for the purpose of reducing the price and double the speed.

Next thing we know, there is no half price double speed, but only 25% discount? 

So what is the purpose of the allocated budget again? It had been invested to the fiber infrastructure    By right, new government should follow through the previous government promise on this matter.....unless there is element of songlap in TM?

Takkan lah pakatan nak telan duit rakyat? After all, more revenue by TM =  more corporate tax paid.....might this be the reason why it is only 25% discount?

The news is that new govt is left with an unexpected deeper hole.

Then, I'm not sure because you are the first to mention about this. Please call CS to check further.

no point having 100-300Mbps then u implement the quota...

One of main purpose of quota = they wanna discourage line sharing of unlimited broadband. 

Youtube 4K 60fps requires at least 68Mbps...
For 2K 60fps, it is 24Mbps....

Normal users do require >25Mbps 

Might be, but I am still not satisfied with the pricing.

Other Southeast Asian countries has cheaper broadband compared to Malaysia if we exclude singapore. 

i still remember last time during dial-up internet era (year 199x),  the bill for tmnet 1515 can reach RM100+, but the highest theoretical speed is 56kbps only and this is pay as u use lol.

Hmm. Go by income group now? Then, I won't be eligible for below RM 100.

I want 500Mbps.
