Malaysia Broadband

Everyone in this country has something to say when it comes to our Broadband service. The Government is aware of this(broadband issues) and they gave us(consumers) a team of only 6 people to resolve problems from at least one million broadband users out there.

About 2 days after UniFi was launched by the Prime Minister of Malaysia. TM announced that it will not impose any data capping on its High Speed Broadband Service(HSBB) which it initially planned. The truth is, TM is not sure whether it should limit data usage of its High Speed Broadband customers. Question- Why would you buy a Ferrari car ...

Looks like TM will be implementing the monthly data cap, in the future, read full statement from TM after the jump.

Thanks to the power of social media!, TM will no longer impose any monthly data cap on their newly launched HSBB packages. Via its Twitter account, TM announced that it will no longer impose any data limit on all its Unifi packages, for now.

Below is the commentary from Tan Sri Rainer Althoff, Malaysia Chairman, Nokia Siemens Networks.

TM’s HSBB/UniFi pricing, packages and more details after the jump!

First of all, I would like to thank TM for inviting me to the HSBB briefing late last month. Tested over a 20Mbps connection that was deployed at Menara Mutiara Bangsar, I was able to get a maximum speed of 15Mbps via WiFi. Basically when you are subscribed to HSBB, you will be given: Left- BTU, Right- RG
