the blue colour one consider covered?

Yeah. Limited, very limited coverage.
And how do you expect that to be a "solution" while waiting for actual fiber infrastructure.

I don't think so. It's slightly different.

Since TM has responded to me that the band or spectrum that Unifi AIR uses and unifi mobile is different, they said that even if I have 4G+ connection on my phone doesn't mean Unifi AIR coverage is available for me.

They just told me to check here for coverage

Yes, this is a joke, i dont understand why they dare to call this as solution! i called to 100, she told me UNIFI AIR only covered limited area...they have a list to stated which area/taman having this "AIR" coverage, she checked through the list and told me my area is not fall under the it, according to her it could be either not under coverage (no signal/or very poor signal) or not stable connection area (thats why not in the list). And she told me TM will expand the "Air" coverage is future, which i think is stupid answer like what they did for Unifi Fiber (ask customer to wait, but nothing happen even after few years of time) mad.gif

My house currently using Streamyx 4Mbps (RM140/month). Been asking and waiting for Unifi to be available but nothing. And last week Unifi call and promote this Unifi Air (1 Month Free Trail). RM79/Month and Unlimited.

The speed so far very stable and satisfied

just got mine few weeks ago. 1 month trial for free, they offered me via phone call.

if i pass 30 days trial period without abt dissatisfaction they will consider id agree to sign up for 2 year contract, and auto terminate my streamyx.

the router given is Huawei B618 (65d), a 4G router capable of 600Mbps downstream and 100Mbps upstream
this router also capable of dual band wifi too, both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

packed with 2x gigabit LAN port (1 for LAN another is for WAN),
1x usb port for file sharing,
2x ts9 port for external outdoor 4G antenna
the unifi sim is already inserted in the sim slot, with a sticker seal (to avoid tampering maybe?)

==== UniFi Air ====

the speedtest seems good, around 20mbit+ down, around 3~8mbit up,

the ping however seems not so stable. sometimes 40ms+, sometimes spike 100ms+, thats what to be expected from 4G LTE right?

definitely no problem for streaming 1080p on youtube/netflix, not quite 4K ready though. online gaming is also great, dota 2, cs go, pubg etc..

compared to my current 8mb streamyx, 7.8mbit down, 0.5mbit up. ping around 40ms+, its definitely a good bargain.

my concern is, is it reliable to replace my streamyx? im more confident with streamyx since it is wired based, while unifi air is based on 4G LTE, may prone to congestions issue ( i think )

apart for relying on wireless 4G LTE, unifi air is undeniably offer alot of advantage, especially with upload speed is at least 10x higher compared to streamyx,

=== Pricing ===

The monthly fee for UniFi Air is RM 79 ( RM 83.70 inc tax )

While for 8mb Streamyx, monthly fee is RM 130 ( RM 137.80 inc tax )

** the price was originally for 4mb streamyx, but i got upgrade to 8mb during the turbo upgrade campaign for the same price **

/// update ///

starting from september, streamyx customer will be migrated tu unifi lite,
utilising the same dsl technology and speed, at lower price, which is RM 69 per month.

source : http://cloud.email.unifi.com.my/litehttp://cloud.email.unifi.com.my/lite

do you think i should stay on streamyx at lower price (RM 69 starting from september) ? or just go for unifi air? (RM 79 with 2 years contract)

It's a terrible "solution", hardly benefiting anyone?
35,000 out of the 900 thousand Streamyx users will only benefit from such a transition? That's not even 5%.
Not to mention the crap coverage this package is offering.
Short term wise it's fine, since there's a significant upgrade in speed.
Long term it is definitely not, compared to fibre or other wireless options in the market.

Typical response from TM. No coverage means it's pointless.
Gonna be stuck with Streamyx till 2021?

Unifi Air will be the same or very similar like the usual 4G LTE service you used by usual telcos like Maxis, Celcom, Digi, U Mobile....
The coverage is expanding, but not everywhere yet, and it definitely takes time.

If Unifi Air is not available in your area yet, I would advise to give up considering about that, and go for other telcos (e.g. Digi, Yes 4G LTE, U Mobile) that has better 4G service in your area and subscribe to their wireless broadband plans, whichever suits your data usage and budget.

Or stick to Streamyx (Unifi Lite) for the speed up to 8Mbps, and RM69/month. There's isn't much you could do.

actually quite a good plan for its price and speed, most importantly, it is unlimited.

will sign up for one if it is released to general public.

Do note that for new subscriptions are priced at RM129, not the "discounted" RM79.
Isn't it better to take other unlimited plans?

Whether it's pricing, speed or coverage, TM is definitely a loser in ever single segment. Still can't accept that this is a viable solution for most Streamyx users.

wah... how come rm129?

if rm129 certainly not worth it. might as well go for other unlimited plan.

but too bad i dun like DxGx. I only consider Maxis and Celcom if it is unlimited plan. other telcos all cannot make it even it is unlimited.

The plan, which comes with unlimited data with an average speed of 20Mbps (megabits per second), is priced at RM79 a month for existing Streamyx customers while new users will have to pay RM129.

Depending on your area I guess? Some areas with better coverage will definitely benefit.

Not a big fan of TM right now. Their representative are just incompetent and useless. ranting.gif
Complaints are also useless as they will just say no fibre coverage or TDD coverage in your area, so just wait till "God" knows when and then if you're still interested.

true. indeed.

my house when i first moved in i have two years without unifi, it is so suffering to have no fibre broadband nowadays.

lucky i have unifi at my house now. tongue.gif with fast internet speed at home, one can really have a lot more free entertainment at home.

think will forget about it at this point unless the price is really rm79. still hope maxis and celcom to come out with real unlimited data plan even the price is higher. they are the only two telcos can really make it.
