Well,the prices are finally here.We can see that the packages are all bundled with IPTV,VOIP and Data(broadband) services and there’s a volume cap for data usage.If later I subscribe UniFi,I have to choose the most expensive one as it is given 120GB download volume which may just fit my use.So I don’t know which plan will be the best for those heavy users who always visit YouTube for HD video clips or other online stream.

Frankly speaking,I have to say that TM is failing to make a better service again.

I think TM will adjust the prices for Streamyx and set lower prices for HSBB-now named as UniFi.The fact is I was wrong.

According to the latest information getting from MalaysianWireless,UniFi has the packages of 5,10 and 20Mbps.They are expected to have similar download and upload speeds.The price charts for the packages are not yet disclosed,however,some source claimed that that could be RM149,RM199 and RM249 respectively.

I believe most of Malaysians will say that the prices are too high.I totally agree it.So now I just pray that the prices are for the tri-play packages,not for broadband only.We could get the exact information tomorrow as TM will officially inform the public about the charges for the services.

I hope that will not be another service which is going to kill my wallet.

Officially Windows 7 released on October 23rd worldwide.However,I couldn’t find the track of Windows 7 on that day.Well,finally I get the news saying Windows 7 was in town on November 2nd,7-day late to land in Malaysia.

The prices for Windows 7 in Malaysia are labeled at US dollar and so we have to exchange them into Ringgit Malaysia by the given exchange rate US$1 = RM3.75.

*Note:The above prices are for full pack(retail version).

I know Windows 7 is of good performance and better security,but it’s still quite expensive.I’m now waiting for PC fair where may provide some promotions.

P1 Wimax is building its territory smoothly.From the current coverage map,you could find Klang Valley area and Pulau Pinang are the prioritized places that it intends to develop.

I feel that 30-40% of tactical residential areas in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur are covered currently.However,the development in Pulau Pinang is just at a start point.

Well,only this small part of places are under coverage now.I heard that the process of expansion in Penang meets some problems as some people voices out with their negative opinions.I hope the issue could bypass in a very near future so that the plan to build Penang as another cyber city in Malaysia will only be fulfilled.

The above table is the current plans.I have to say that the cost for high speed access plans(2.4Mbps) are definitely high and uncompetitive,meanwhile,there are still some fair usage policy working on ‘Home Plan’.

Since Digi had entered the battle and HSBB is close to the door too.I hope that could push the ISPs to reduce their prices on broadband service and give us more choices.

For me,I do think the quality of service is damn important!
