the new box uses amlogic s905x2 chipset which is a decent one.

besides youtube, hopefully u can do more with it.

if u can, do share here with others, new thread:

you are quite right about the pricing.

unifi, new with black box plus: 300mbps rm199; 100mbps rm189; 30mbps rm149
https://unifi.com.my/plusbox?gclid=Cj0KCQiA...BUaAuwpEALw_wcB

maxis: 300mbps rm149; 100mbps; rm129; 30mbps rm89
https://www.maxis.com.my/broadband/maxisone...cB&gclsrc=aw.ds

you wonder what has got into unifi's heads to price them so high - the pricing is totally out of whack!
and these prices are ridiculous given many are currently paying <rm179 for 800mbps, <rm159 for 500mbps.
that new black box is likely worth <rm30 if buying wholesale.
perhaps after losing rm4bil last year, they just wanna make up for it this year...?!!

rm199 for 300mbps... i think few takers.
will see if they lower the prices by mid year.

my bad... amended.

u can check the detailed info under stats for nerds in youtube when playing.

spec of the box... and TV... max 4k.

if u r a long enuf unifi customer, u will know EVERYONE is on a DIFFERENT offer.

that is unifi specialty - thriving on chaos.

if i recall correctly, most are paying rm189... maybe 1/2 of the users.

1/4 paying rm129-179, and other 1/4 paying rm199-329.

so, u see... there is no standard... unifi is an animal, it will eat n spit anything it can get.

imagine the shit if TNB or syabas bills like that.

and u wonder why no consumer assoc, NGO or menteli ever comment on that... for the last decade.

i think no, u can't but there may be some resourceful people who will crack some apk to use on yr mibox.
ya, the new black box specs is quite poor but it is meant for unifi, not doing all kinds of exotic apps!

your experience is not std, it was up to the guy handling it.
i previously had ultimate and something else too.
when they remove that something else, there was no reduction in my price of rm179.
and i m sure that happened to many others, incl one of my frens.
unifi gets away with all kinds of "funny" changes.
that's becos we sign/agree with "anything"!

i wud.

500->300 will not make a diff if u r not already using max most of the time.

should be ok for whatever u r doing, incl Tor.

rm275 for 500 is also such a killer... like rm329 for 800...

I think u r getting the same thing i had some months ago.

Took me many calls, chats, emails... 3 months to fix.

Had to pay first to avoid disconnection, then get back the credits.

No explanation given.... either a bug in their auto billing or someone in billing dept made mistake, no checks..

The new black box is superior to white becos of newer aml s905x2 chipset, android9.... but same 2+8gb.

From the various users, it is fairly clear now that this black box does not need lan, wifi ok... but bit rate is 5mbps or so.

Old silver or white uses dedicated lan4, bit rate 8mbps... the old ones give better PQ.

I think unifi will gradually migrate all to this new app style, no more lan4 in time to come.

There is a lot of confusion now with several boxes, several apps, old, new.... some migrated, some not... some ATV, some regular...

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4894174/+100

Moving away from vlan is pretty clear now.

Improved compression... maybe they r still working on it.

at least half a dozen users have said the old sliver or white boxes give significantly better picture.

To me, some of the so called hd channels on silver box arent even good enuf.. compared to some other app, same channels.

So, if that new way is going to be the std, its going backwards to a low std.

did unifi just slashed prices?

ok.

for 3 months only. bummer.

your unifi pro 800 story is quite common, been brought up here at least 3 times before.

from what u described, they have removed a big part of yr discount.

discount left 80 only... yr discount should be 200 or 210 or 230.

so u now pay 329-80+60=309.

posted before.... i had same crap from them last dec.

had to send email x3, call x2, chat x3.

they rebated me everything after 2 months.

do not just drop it... go fight for it.

these guys will not do anything unless u complain hard.

and there is no chance u can remove the unifitv rm60.

that is good news.

follow up closely, push n push.

i do not know the details but i suspect ALL subscribers who got 800 turbo in late 2017 should have "perpetual" discount by their own promotion principle.

but somehow the records were not made properly, not in order... probably messed up by the sales staff.

then, the billing staff were told to give themselves benefit of doubt - "charge them if u think chargeable".

my own case, i never had proof it was perpetual but i remember i asked during a recorded telecon, reply was "yes, will remain after 24 months".

all biz now hungry for cash... do put up a good fight against the wolves.

if not, b sure u will get eaten alive.

is this the "new" offer?

https://www.soyacincau.com/2020/08/24/tm-un...broadband-plan/

800mbps rm349... with +++ deco mesh
500mbps rm249... with +++ deco mesh

i doubt anyone now using 800 or 500 will bother.... better keep existing!

looks like prices are going up, up... too bad.
