Hmm... This is something that you may not able to contol.
Same like mobile telcos, speeds are on best efforts basis. It depends on the location and the network traffic in your area.

Today i received my unifi Air modem router for 1 month free. They called and offered me one.

Initial test the speed is decent (around 40Mbps), but not sure whether it will throttle later or restriction on P2P when promotion expire or not like what some users said here. Try the popcorn time (P2P movie apps) and the download speed is around 8-10Mbps despite the speedtest.

TM also said in the phone that i better cancel after 1 to 2 weeks usage if not satisfy, don wait for full 1 month to allow some buffer in service cancel procedure otherwise will auto subscribe later.

So do you think i just keep my streamyx lite 8Mbps fixed line or change to this?

You check on the supported 4G frequency bands for both huawei modems, on the packaging box or user manual, see if it supports any of the bands used by TM Unifi mobile below:

LTE FDD Band 5 (850MHz)
LTE TDD Band 38 (2600MHz) or 40 (2300MHz)

Then you know which frequency bands that unifi mobile uses in your area, as well as knowing your huawei modems supports at which frequency bands.

Unifi Mobile = Unifi Air

Let's assume the price and speed stays the same, if you don't need fixed line phone and seldom game, you can consider to keep this.

Unifi Air and Unifi Mobile are the same thing, and coverage is also the same. It's just that both services are cater for different user needs. Marketing.

By right, no.
But they can cap the speed if they feel like it.
Since they "promised" to get an average 20Mbps, then just accept as it is. If your speed is lower than 20mbps, then you may ask TM what's going on.

i found that the router positioning is very tricky. Need to put near to door/windows to get excellent reception.
