UniFi - a newly launched TM HSBB Project
TM finally launched it’s HSBB project and branded as UniFi (as per logo on the top image) at Merdeka Square yesterday evening. UniFi converged into 3 services, which is broadband, IPTV (video content) and telephony.
No pricing yet to be avail more, but for now, 3 packages offered which is speed at 5 Mbps, 10 Mbps and 20 Mbps. Pricing may starts from RM149 to RM 300. This added UniFi on top of Streamyx since Streamyx only offered at 4 Mbps maximum at the moment. For IPTV, streaming content allocated 8 Mbps for this purpose in addition to the broadband package. At this speed, I believed that there should probably be no interfering with the internet usage at all. An official price is expected to be released very soon.
Update : Below are the package pricing offered for the UniFi high speed broadband from TM :
- 5 Mbps – RM 149
- 10 Mbps – RM199
- 20 Mbps – RM249
Well, for me, IPTV is something that we’re looking forward. This is seriously interesting since Malaysia newly started to introduce video streaming with no buffers. It is seriously seen to be an TV operator alternative, with the recent announcement that it already has agreement with more than 20 content providers and expected to grow further.
UniFi is available at certain areas and still limited to 4 exchange area which is Shah Alam, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI), Bangsar, and Subang Jaya. It is expected to expand to more that 48 exchange areas by the end of 2010.
Now let us see what’s hot with TM HSBB – UniFi!
UniFi is a long awaited high speed broadband service we are looking for in Malaysia. But deep inside my mind questioning, why it is named UniFi?
Updated : There will be no more bandwidth cap for UniFi!
