QUOTE(nanakopy87 @ Dec 15 2024, 11:34 AM) i think astro really need to make things clear with the upgrades that they offer. what the FAQ is stating vs the customer service on their website vs whatsapp CS vs the phone call CS are quite different. Initially i chat with the CS on the website, she said that i can still retain my old PVR box while change my pack to the astro one pack but i will need to contact the CS on the whatsapp. Did that this morning, the CS on the whatsapp also said that i can still maintain my decoder while doing the package upgrade BUT asked me to call CS to change package. Told this CS that the CS on the website said i can do the upgrade on the whatsapp, this CS said not so sure why that CS said so but actually cannot. must make phone call. Fine, so i spent like 20 minutes on the phone call to make the changes. This time, this CS said that I cannot retain the decoder, MUST change to the ulti box. i said both the previous CS said i can retain but this CS said cannot retain. must change. So in the end, i accepted the RM15 rebate since it doesn't bound to contract. Mind asking... What legacy package you're subscribe now??

QUOTE(nanakopy87 @ Dec 15 2024, 02:20 PM) Wah Pack. and am still able to access to TVB anywhere app/web. actually my legacy pack is pretty much the same as the astro one's entertainment pack, except missing those mini packages, iirc. Ahh... No wonder they gave rm15 rebate... Your channels now already offered to everyone as basic pack...

QUOTE(nanakopy87 @ Dec 15 2024, 09:35 PM) yes, it is. that's why i want to change to the entertainment pack. but the CS said it's compulsory to change to ulti box, which i don't want. so i have no choice but to accept the rebate offer first. i still like the PVR box since it can record quite a lot of shows. so, let's see what they can offer in the future haha Not sure if it's work or not... Why not try to report at aduan skmm... Your issues... See if anything positive comes from it 🙏

Sure if possible... They want those legacy pack to be maintained It's monthly fee is higher than the latest Astro One package. Especially the entry one... Which is just around rm50 compared with older one which I remember is around rm60+ (starter pack) or Value pack (80+)

QUOTE(joshhd @ Dec 16 2024, 12:35 PM) For sure they've seen this coming...  From what I see... They're trying to capture the entry level market first.. Malay market especially.... Those that don't want all those fancy apps... Especially the entry level package with sub rm50 fees... The basic entry level package have completed channels except the high end sports... Which you need to add-on...

From what I saw from my phone bills details
Call to Astro CS number is considered as "Maxis" ...
So I suspect both Maxis & Astro uses same Call Center location / building 😁

QUOTE(alexleow81 @ Dec 17 2024, 07:52 PM) Been with Astro since 2017. Yes, when CS confirmed the downgrade, they never mentioned about this penalty, just telling me to pay additional RM10 switching fee only. I think you better call back astro & dispute the penalties imposed... If they still insist... Then you go report aduan skmm 🙏

Plug & Play option / method feels like we're paying double to watch astro channels..
1 - payment for astro channels (which can get with satellite dish too) 2 - payment for internet services
