You would have to hand it to TM for such a slow roll out of any packages without any consolidation or plans.

Last I'd heard from a TM Point while trying to purchases a B618, tests are already being run at KL and expanding, but only limited to customers that are subscribed to the Streamyx package and offered through phone calls.
The representative asked me to wait for around a month which is more or less starting today.

Darn. Where are you currently located?
Any more details about the B618 though? Is it locked?

It's worse than expected?
Limited coverage, limited offers and no "new" subscriptions?


satu peluang my ass, #khabarbaik my ass

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

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

Do try, but the TM representative said they would personally call and make the offer, but god knows when right?

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?

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.

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.
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.

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.

Because I see people "renting" their Maxis SIM cards with unlimited data in the forums.

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.

Haha, yeah and since you have Unifi Fibre coverage, you can opt for Maxis Fibre and then get that plan as well? Win-win

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?

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

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.

Names or branding are just optional, but the service provided is just crap.
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?

Can't expect much from Unifi nor TM.

They don't really care it seems, as long as they can delay, they will.
As their motto isn't #khabarbaik or #satupeluang, it's more like #nocoverage
I can't even start to think this as an solution and "force" us to wait till 2021 for full fibre infrastructure?
