thats because in your area there was a backbone to it with a cabinet of the right equipment for them to deploy unifi to your area. So it only speeds up their deployment if they have the infrastructure to support it to your area, otherwise it wont come unless there is great demand in your greater area. They dont bother with expected future demands.To be clear, its our duty to annoy TM to improve their infra and provide upgrades to existing and new customers. Their inconsistency in pricing and use of old equipment is very very low of TM. For instance many streamyx users are actually on ADSL 1 while some are on ADSL 2+, whereas in australia 10 years ago they were all on ADSL 2+ and were kept on it because their government were too dumb to realise the need for better internet.
Uploads determine how good our internet is, not downloads. DSL and cable was a very asymmetrical technology because that cabinet would consume a lot of power whereas your modem only consumed a few watts, hence the asymmetrical nature. Now we are not limited by technology and TM is following the same path as a lot of bad ISPs. Even american ISPs have learnt their lesson because of google and are spreading out full symmetrical gigabit fiber optics but like malaysia it is not done in a fair manner, and by that i mean those that dont have the infra in their area deal with super expansive slow internet. They also realised this problem in the US so made all sorts of links needed to improve the bandwidth to these areas, either by a massive powerline or wireless (both the wifi we use and also LTE).
TM's problem is that once you subscribe to them, you will be less likely to quit, because of lack of competition. Your current options are only either TM or maxis. Celcom wired broadband only covers a small area, same with TIME. So TM knows that even if you quit and complain you wont have any other choice, other than to take on a new 2 year contract.
Google fiber is very different, they treat both their new and existing customers well to the point where existing ISPs showed just how much money they had when they started bribing cities to keep out google.
