Hi guys, wanna confirm a few things regarding unifi air..
I used the coverage map to confirm if my house got covered or not but unfortunately it didn't not. I read this topic and stumble across that we could use unifi bebas prepaid to check accurately coz the map somehow is inaccurate
So got my bebas prepaid, and to my suprise I got lte+band 40 on my phone. The speed is around 8mbps tho, but i read that tm actually capped the unifi bebas to around that speed
Currently using streamyx 8mbps. Shud I get unifi air?

QUOTE(jsnhoh @ May 23 2020, 06:32 PM) If u manage to get 8mbps in your prepaid, most likely, u can get the same speed in unifi air. Unifi bebas speed is capped when you are using unlimited pass, otherwise shd be full speed. Btw, u can subscribe unifi air without contract, if the speed is not up to expectations then just terminate it. That bebas monthly complimentary given coz of pkp might be the reason why the speed is capped on 8mbps. So to test the estimate full speed, shud I buy the high speed addon one? I dun have a modem that could hold the sim, buying a new one cost quite high. So I'm thinking on getting the 2 years contract with the router one instead of the no contract sim only package. That's why i need to know as much as I can before subscribing to this unifi air. Thanx! Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(dark_axl21 @ May 23 2020, 07:13 PM) I'm sure that the BEBAS weekly has a speed cap of 8 Mbps or was is 10 Mbps, not sure if the complimentary monthly package does have that cap. But, if you're able to get band 40, I'm pretty sure that unifi air will benefit with a decent CPE and it's worth it for you. I see. Thanks for the heads up then. 😄 |

QUOTE(jumanjimd @ May 23 2020, 09:09 PM) bebas max speed 8mbps..mco o not air average speed 20mbps.. depends on signal etc. ada yg boleh dapat 40,50, even 70mbps.. if u can get 20mbps.. u can reach 30/40mbps during offpeak.. especially early mornin time I see. The problem for me would be that I couldn't know exactly the average speed I would get as bebas capped the speed at 8mbps. I just know that the fact my house got lte + band 40. And it definitely get around 8mbps cuz of limit. I'm hoping to get more speed with unifi air tho. Band 40 seems gud for unifi air based on previous replies I got, so might be worth getting unifi air I guess? |

QUOTE(jsnhoh @ May 24 2020, 04:12 AM) Friend, u can put the unifi air sim into your hand phone and test the speed on various locations before committed to 24 months contract. It was what i did last year. From my finding, unifi air is slow but stable at my area. After 1 month, i went to TM point and cancelled my plan. I got back my $$$ after 2-3 months. They bank into my account directly. Btw... 1 modem just cost ard rm250. Worth for a try/buy. I see, do u need to pay the rm100 (upfront payment) when u first subscribe to the sim only package? Tbf, the router+sim package actually have the 30days-trial return policy, tho I need to pay the upfront payment first. What I didn't quite sure is whether I would get the rm100 back or it would be burned just like that if I were to return the modem within 30-days using the policy. I tried asking the tm agent I'm dealing with on wa, the answer she gave was quite ambiguous, but I'm 70% sure she said that I wouldn't get back that payment. Weird. Also, I thought existing streamyx user didn't need to pay the upfront payment. Not in my case tho, got told that the promo had already ended so need to pay. Anyone knows whether this is true? |

QUOTE(jsnhoh @ May 24 2020, 01:20 PM) The rm100 is upfront payment, and unifi air always need to pay in advance. When u terminate your line, they will pro-rate based on your usage and return your balance to you. Oh? So if I were to terminate lets say after I used 30 days. They will deduct the bill based on my usage on that 30 days? Unifi air now is rm79/month right? So wouldn't it be that I would get back the remaining rm21 from the upfront I paid earlier? Didn't quite understand the upfront thing, so I'm sorry if somehow I asked a simple question here. Thanks! |

QUOTE(jsnhoh @ May 24 2020, 05:50 PM) Less than rm21, rm79 per month is not incluced the SST yet. I see. Thanks for the heads up! I got nothing to lose then if I go try it then. One more thing, does the remaining <rm21 will go and deduct the next bill if I were to continue the plan? So I would have to pay around rm60 for the 2nd month? |

QUOTE(akira87 @ May 26 2020, 01:04 AM) Is the 30 days trial return policy stated anywhere? If yes could u pls share where it is stated? I would love to try unifi air and considering to take with the modem. Read it here https://community.unifi.com.my/t5/unifi-Air/tkb-p/unifi_airI also confirmed this with tm agent, she said it is available. Tho in my case, it seems that the upfront payment will be used as the bill payment of the 30-day trial.. Which is kinda strange for me as I am currently a streamyx user (I read that streamyx user doesn't need to pay the upfront) U should try ask directly tm for confirmation |
