When did he say RM49 for 100mbps?

US49/100mbps

I read he says "half" sometime back, in July 2023. Been waiting for announcement since then.

U mean this 'half'? it's just wholesale HSBB access pricing liao

Doesn't mean if the cost is halved the selling price is halved?

U think TM will cut their price that much ka?

In your wildest dream

I think most likely will force bundle with something even though might be slightly cheaper for same speed

We already see what TM gonna offer later this month (or later) with their latest 100mbps promo force bundle with netfliks

If force bundle then there will be public outcry and Ministry will be forced to order TM to offer barebones internet access service.
Also it could violate anti-competition laws.

slightly maybe but not drastic cut , never happen

Currently im using 800Mbps (Turbo Upgrade 2018). Will I be upgraded too?

Don't be too optimistic. I predict price will only be lowered in 2024. Malaysia do things slow and steady with many u-turn.

If they say they will upgrade everyone sure ...right now nobody knows anything.

fully utilize ? then pray for 2Gbps foc upgrade

No. You got it wrong.

It does not mean that if there is 100 subscribers of 100Mbps, ISP will need to have 10Gbps (10000Mbps) of pipeline in background to service them all at same time.
What happens is, maybe ISP will only have 5Gbps of piepline, because it is only natural that not everyone will be online at same time, and not everyone will fully utilise all 10Gbps at the exact same time.

So the MSAP does affect pricing. But wholesale pricing.
We the end customers will get a cut of that reduced costs for ISP to provide service to us. But don't expect a 50% cut at wholesale level to translate to 50% cut at retail level.
There are others costs for the ISP to borne as well, like providing basic modem and routers, marketing, sending tehcnicians here and there, pulling and replacing cables, new equipment cabinet and maintenance and replacement, ....

More so with TM's fucked up playing "favouritism" with offering different price to different subscribers, it will be difficult to guesstimate what should justly be applicable to all.

--

MSAP is ISP-to-ISP pricing.
RAO is the document that list down ISP-to-ISP pricing. So there is no favoritism in pricing as there is established rates that applies to all.

So for example,
TM published the price adjustment in RAO.
If Maxis wants to interconnect to TM, then Maxis will be offered such and such price per TM's RAO.
Maxis wants to interconnect to CelcomDigi will use CelcomDigi's RAO.

--

on hindsight;
our premise of price cut is based on ISP not changing their existing pipeline and everything else. then it would really be a reduced costing to them.
From 10Gbps @ RM10k/ea
Become 10Gbps @ RM5k/ea

but what if instead of staying as-is, ISP took the chance to double their pipeline bandwidth in celebration of halved cost.
Become 20Gbps @ RM5k/ea

....
whill there be savings for retail customers then?

I just had new 100Mbps/RM129 broadband-only installed, so to new customers, having additional bundled Netflix for the same price is not a loss.

How much you have been paying monthly?

Hi all sifus, does anyone subscribe to Unifi free upgrade package? I receive a sms last week stated that can claim free speed upgrade up to 800mbps but need to go down TM point. Does anyone have info about the upgrade? Is it worth it? Im currently using Rm189.75 500 mbps 2019 yep
