QUOTE(westlife @ Aug 10 2019, 09:51 AM) 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.  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. Yup, I do agree. I'm used to having their turbo-ed speeds @800Mbps and now they expect me to use 8 Mbps line? Compromises were made since their useless representatives told me to wait for their Unifi AIR since early July. Doesn't Maxis have that MaxisONE plan where it's unlimited as well? Don't think Celcom has one.

Don't think Celcom has one. no le. maxis only has limited data plan. maximum is 60gb at rm188 with unlimited calls and sms. no unlimited data.

Nope. Because they stopped the plan since early July or even earlier? While their webpage still states that the plan was available at "selected" TMPoint(s) which was a huge scam and a waste of time to go there. After constant complaints and reports to MCMC, they only change the website to "Out of Stock"

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it's even 28%, it's actually 2.8% if you counted it as 1 million Streamyx users. (35,000/1,000,000)*100 = 3.5%, hardly making a dent. Can we also just pay 5% of our current bills then? Yes, it's not a "solution" as claimed by that darn TM.  #khabarburuk This post has been edited by dark_axl21: Aug 10 2019, 10:35 AM

Win-win still within contract. maybe after that will considers but maxis broadband seems to have more complaints over unif. So will be hesitate to do it also. have been using unifi for years, no issues so far. Scare change to maxis broadband and end up with more hassles.

Not too sure about the complaints, guessing it's also affected by the area. Pros and cons right? I've migrated from Unifi to TIME and now to ViewQuest, like who doesn't love symmetrical upload and download speeds?

I tot you said u are using unifi 800Mbps now?

I tot you said u are using unifi 800Mbps now? Used to. And there's contract buyout options, so why not? But 1Gbps is too much of a temptation not to switch right? Prices are "cheaper" too. *data hording addiction as well This post has been edited by dark_axl21: Aug 10 2019, 11:03 AM

But check out their website, the coverage is damn limited, only few apartments are available. u are lucky to have the coverage. besides, does 800Mbps/1Gbps make significant difference in real life comparing to 100Mbps? for example, for torrent etc, can get full speed?

Yes, I sort of rented that apartment just for that! haha It makes a huge difference, especially when you have multiple desktops hooked up to the network plus a NAS. Yes, torrenting is absolutely fine, I could usually hit 90% of the bandwidth mostly with multiple downloads, do note that you need a better router for that.

It doesn't serve its point for being an "interim" solution by just covering 35,000 Streamyx users, what about the other 900,000 users out there? Just wait till 2021 to be fully upgraded to a fibre infrastructure and continue to pay "discounted" prices for the next 2 years?

I think u should stay for RM69 without contract and opt for fibre in future, rather than using unifi air if ping issues and congestion problem matter to u . cuz i use 4g broadband too, no congestion no prob very syiok but when at night a lot of ppl use digi congestion prevails then it became horrifying to use  . unless u got plan to swap in and out the sim to use for phone, the portability of unifi air is good, but i will keep at RM69 for reliability

It's all bullshit from TM. They called me and when I asked if I can get Unifi Air, nope not available. Upgrade my 4mbps to 8mbps also nada. In the end I'm still being unfairly charged while other people enjoy better speed.
