Did you contact TM / CS to find out exactly what the (g) clause means? I'm just wondering if they actually told you that your package price will go up to advertised price from Jan 2020. Or its just based on some doubts / misinformation going around.
The 500M and 800M prices are already in the RM2xx and RM3xx range. We know this from a year ago when turbo was done. It is nothing new. Its just that they have not launched them as new packages so far for some reason. Go look at soonwai's post of his bill. You can already see the 800M price there. Go look at other 500M bills posted before. Perhaps you are not aware of this, that's why you think there is a hideous intention from them.
BTW, RM199 for 300M is also not new. Did you think all this while 300M was at RM139? It was not. It has been RM179/199/209/219. Just because of a promo, users got it at RM139. So even the currently new advertised RM199 300M is not really new. Whether the price is too high is a different story though.
If you think about it, do you really think that TM would "trick" users who are for example paying RM1xx for 500M or 800M to start paying RM2xx or RM3xx from Jan onwards? Or they will lower your speed to 100M if you are only paying RM1xx.? There will be much backlash from users and the authorities if so.
While I can understand your frustration due to your circumstances and not being happy with your package, you should not let it cloud your judgement. I do agree with you about locking users in for 2 years. This has been clear from the start. Users know it already. They have reasons to do so, we may find out sometime next year what it is. Maybe due to competition.
Feel free to contact CS and get verification and keep a record of it in case you need it in Jan.
Thank you once again for taking the time to check on this.
Just in general...
I really think there are some users who mistakenly did Change My Plan. Especially 300M users. Then they say they lost their discount. Then there are others on 500M and 800M who looked at Change My Plan page and saw there is no 500M and 800M package listed there. Then they say they are not eligible.
The result / conclusion these users come to is correct. Because if you choose new 300M plan, your price will become RM199. And there is no existing 500M and 800M plan to choose from anyway. But the process they did is wrong in the first place. They should use the "redeem" page.
Then they start complaining on social media etc. And say they are being cheated etc. Then others pick this up and start having doubts etc. Then they also go round spreading it. They get banned from FB for example. So they go elsewhere and start ranting and raving. Because nowdays, viral viral viral is everything. Right or wrong, no checking facts, no rationale discussion, no common sense used.
I have also not been pleased with TM on many things over many years. I think most regular forum users here are the same. But many have become so sceptical and suspicious that they don't even bother to check on things and just assume there is something bad going on.
I think there is no end to this until end of the year as users will popup in this thread and bring up the issue over and over again. Just have to read this thread from 01 Oct onwards.
I think those who wanted to do the YEP would have done so to maximize free bill. Those who haven't, either don't want to (which is ok) or have doubts (some unfounded). Already 1 month has past, so already 1 month less free bill.
Each user is entitled to decide what they want to do.
Nowadays, most of them not find the proper way without find out the reality before proceed any actions. Acts first rather than think triple. Should done in proper way, right manners and right paths. Viral is their right paths
I suspect they will came out other options again early next year might be in February because TM is very itchy mix the prices. TM should done just like maxis, switch automatically that those pay higher to current price. I remember that their 30Mbps package price more higher before they launch new one for RM89. They switched most of their subscribers from their system. But TM is afraid of trying give something happy for their customers.
