TM to charge RM200 for UniFi installation

When UniFi was launched in March 2010, TM gave free usage to those who subscribed the service till the end of July 2010. However TM only covered less than 20 areas.

As TM rolls out UniFi in new areas, new customers in these new coverage areas will not be enjoying any free trial/usage. TM choose to treat each customers differently, so some UniFi customers get to use the service for free up to 3-4 months while some have to pay their bill the moment they subscribe.

To make it more painful and unfair to new customers, TM will start charging RM200 for new UniFi installation, effective 1st October 2010.

At the moment, TM has over 9,000 UniFi customers and approximately 12,000 applicants have registered their interest in the service.
