Malaysia Unifi is a Big Joke
Malaysia finally launches its overdue plan to increase internet connectivity in the country code name HSBB (High Speed-Broadband) later run under the brand name call “Unifi” had finally announce the pricing and capacity of its subscribers can use today. The project have been started way back in 2008 whereby our telecommunication company (TMnet) & the government cooperate to deliver a premium online experience at affordable prices.
Much to my dismay it was expected from them as the price would be pricey. It is priced at RM149 for the 5Mbps package, RM199 for 10Mbps and RM249 for RM20 Mbps with these prices I doubt it will increase the penetration rate as the rich and big corporate can only afford considering the inflation in our country that make living in Malaysia just enough to pay taxes & the bills with little to no for personal entertainment.
The middle class and the poor might have to stick with streamyx and forget about getting it leaving us bare. Rumor has it that cap will be enforce in the near future according to the rate below.
5mbps for RM149, 60GB/month cap
10mbps for RM199, 90GB/month cap
20mbps for RM249, 120GB/month cap
I doubt it will be enough for anyone who fully utilize the internet like me with a few HD movies, Games, Musics, Software upgrade, youtubing and some BTing would not be sufficient. Complains about the ridiculous pricing, no reduction price of streamyx old packages and the a foreseeing cap have enrage the average Malaysian internet user.
Unifi come bundled with IP video (IPTV) with a separate dedicated 8MB fiber line and IP telephony. The IPTV will features 22 channels and video-on-demand. For those who are operating your own business they have a much higher price but with the same speed and no IPTV nor VOD.
5Mbps for RM199
10Mbps for RM599
20Mbps for Rm 899
I can only stay with streamyx and the best thing about it is the unlimited bandwidth while contrasting with Unifi. Will there be a chance that the price of broadband be reduce to a more cheaper price for higher speed?

Another rip-off from TM Nut. The quality will be poor regardless of the theoretical throughput. There is no point is paying for faster speed when there is so much packet loss, latency, misconfigured routes, useless technical support … Unfortunately, other ISPs in Malaysia can not be much better because they also use the broken TM backbone. Monopoly + Corruption = Malaysia Internet.
That's how they roll practically
We all know what games they are playing to pray on the weak. Kinda sad to become a Malaysian right now.
then go to another country la!
What a simple minded comment you gave there. Please do give some constructive and viable answer rather than “then go to another country la!”. I wish I can, if possible I'm going to Japan or Europe side but going just won't solve the problem =.=
You must be an idiot – it reflects on the nick you picked. The people in this forum are expecting good service for the money they pay. That's all and if a national (govt) company is providing poor service it reflects on the Malaysia as a whole. And since we dont have alternatives for such service, we are entitled to express our opinion. This is simple logic. I'd suggest you grow up too.
have the author did some research on internet plans outside Malaysia? and have you read the rants and stuff. Im located in one of the develope”D” countries, using a “24 mbps” internet connection, but only to get 4++ mbps top speed –> not during peak hours. peak is around 0.3 – 0.8 mbps.
another thing, since piracy is not that strict in Malaysia, torrenting is among the reason why the bandwith is always overloaded. in countries like US, Japan etc, one get caught if they do this kind of stuff. plus, most ISP in my place for instance, they also capped the total upload and download. you need to pay extra for more GB you used.
Let me guess, Cone. You are located in Australia. Am I right? With a capital “D” in where you live does have its perks and connection can be another thing after all some ISP like playing dumb to their customers and halt any upgrade works.
Regarding about your 24mbps connection is normal to get around 5MB download speed after dividing it 8. It's true that we can torrent to our heart content while they still did not take any action yet but there are rumors about shutting down the p2p network for good maybe in a few years time.
Our neighbor Thailand and Singapore both provide some good connection at a low price compare to ours. Here's some examples http://www.insing.com/singnet , http://www.starhub.com/broadband/packagebuilder... , http://www.csloxhispeed.com/adsl_pro_en.php
