1Malaysia Netbook With Broadband Price Capped At RM1,000

So next time you want to purchase 1 Malaysia netbook, you gotta be sure the price is below RM1000 including the broadband subscription fee for 6 months period. The ‘assurance’ is provided by the minister themselves, and I assume the that’s include installment payment method.

But alas, even before that, some of the price of 1 Malaysia netbook with 384 kbps broadband is only at RM912 with 24 months installment.  Unless the said package is come with the 512 kbps broadband package or better, or this covers all netbook model under the 1Malaysia netbook initiative,  I foresee nothing new here.

Access Speeds Streamyx + Komputer 1Malaysia netbook (For the 1st 24 months and beyond) (RM) Streamyx + HP Netbook (RM)
1st 24 months From the 25th month onwards
384Kbps 38 59 38

U Mobile Offering Very Affordable Mifi With Plan

Looking for MiFi? The usual retail price is ranged from RM410 – 450 for Huawei brand, but if you prefer MiFi with plan, consider U-Mobile. It’s one of the cheapest in the market with very low monthly commitment as well. The MiFi device itself is pretty cheap, only at RM210, although you got to pay RM100 non-refundable fee, that bring the MiFi price to RM310. Still cheaper than retail price isn’t? And the plan, is starting from RM48 permonth with 2GB data and RM68 for unlimited data.

Wait, there is also RM20 permonth rebate for 5 month that bring your monthly fee down to RM28 and RM48 respectively. What’s more, there is no contract so you can terminate it anytime you want, and the Mifi is all yours! So theoretically, you purchase the MiFi for only RM310, which is pretty good deal. How’s that?

This is so cool that I wish to have it right now! But alas, the so called HSPA+ network that U-Mobile going to deploy is only available at where else, if not at U-Mobile HQ, Berjaya Times Square although it will also be deployed within Klang Valley, Johor and Penang by end of the year. The touted speed is up to 42 MB per second is blazing fast, and going to be fastest ever broadband speed at this point of time, until LTE era perhaps.  We’ll see if u Mobile is up to what they promised with this HSPA+,  but anyhow kudos to be the first!

Full press release is available below

FASTEST BROADBAND SERVICE IN MALAYSIA

~U MOBILE First to Deploy 42 Mbps Mobile Broadband Network~

Kuala Lumpur, 25 October 2010 – U Mobile today announced that they are taking the first steps to deploy their 42Mbps Mobile Broadband network. Capable of delivering online connection speeds of up to 42 Mb per second, this is deemed the fastest broadband to date in Malaysia and U Mobile is the first to deploy it.

The Minister of Information, Communication and Culture, YB Dato’ Seri Utama Dr. Rais Yatim, together with YBhg Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, Chairman of U Mobile Sdn Bhd and Dr Kaizad Heerjee, Chief Executive Officer of U Mobile Sdn Bhd were present to celebrate this milestone.

U Mobile will begin to deploy Dual-Cell HSPA+ (High-Speed Packet Access) connections that allow the network to send and receive wireless data using two channels simultaneously to achieve download speeds of up to 42Mbps. The first setup point will be in Berjaya Times Square. This will be followed by the commercial deployment of the service within Klang Valley starting with Subang Jaya and Sunway area and followed by Penang and Johor by end of the year.

Rais Yatim commented that based on recent studies there are 17 million internet users in Malaysia – that is about 65 per cent of the total population. “Every year, we see an increase of 1-2 million internet users. Internet subscribers will certainly appreciate high speed broadband infrastructure. I applaud U Mobile’s commitment to the Goverment’s national agenda of providing constantly-improving broadband access to the diverse communities of Malaysia” said Rais Yatim at the launch.

With this new service, U Mobile subscribers will enjoy and experience ease of files transfer and streaming of high quality video to mobile devices and laptop, among others with Malaysia’s first and fastest broadband service at a cost effective rate.

“With the roll out of this new technology, U Mobile will be the first service provider in Malaysia to begin the deployment of a commercial Mobile Broadband service capable of delivering speeds of up to 42 Mbps using HSPA+. U Mobile subscribers will enjoy superior mobile broadband service that offers high download speed with high definition (HD) capabilities with the use of HSPA+ capable USB modem” said Dr Kaizad Heerjee.

He continued by saying that U Mobile is transforming into a viable competitive force in Malaysia especially with our recent partnership with Singapore Technologies Telemedia (STT). “With their support, we will aggressively roll out more products and services that are reliable, competitive and cost effective”.

One recent product is the new U Prepaid Plan where subscribers enjoy voice call at 9 sen per 30 seconds to all networks in Malaysia, three (3) times longer top-up validity on their top-up amount and a promotional offer of bonus airtime up to 15%. “In addition our subscribers will be able to call many countries at even lower rates”. Kaizad added.

TM To End Unifi Free Installation By End Of September

tm unifi1 TM To End Unifi Free Installation By End Of September

TM has announced that Unifi’s free installation fee will be end on 31st September 2010.  From October onward, each Unifi installation will be charged with RM200. The installation fee waiver is temporary steps by TM to boast it’s presence in ultra speed broadband network. Now that the waiver is about come to an end,  if you still undecided which broadband you’re looking for, this is probably the best thing you can get in Malaysia. More on that can be read from from the press release below

Press Release

GET UNIFI BEFORE 30 SEPTEMBER AND ENJOY RM200 OFF!
TM to begin charging for installation from 1 October 2010, so hurry, sign-up for your UniFi service soonest possible

The introductory promotional period for Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM)’s UniFi high speed broadband service will end on 30 September 2010.

Starting from 1st October 2010 TM will begin charging a one-time fee of RM200 for UniFi installation. This installation charge is across the board; covering the UniFi VIP5, VIP10 and VIP 20 triple-play consumer packages as well as the BIZ5, BIZ10 and BIZ20 business packages. For convenience, the UniFi installation charge will be spread in instalments over a period of 5-months at RM40 per month and will be reflected in the customer’s monthly bills.

However, all of the related UniFi customer premise equipment and peripherals including router/access point, the broadband termination unit (modem) DECT phone and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) set top box — estimated to be worth RM800 — will continue to be provided by TM free-of-charge.

Imri Mokhtar, Executive Vice-President for Consumer, TM, further emphasised that despite the upcoming installation charges for UniFi from 1 October 2010, consumers who sign up before the date will not be levied with the fee even if their installation takes place after the date.

“As our promotional period for UniFi will end on 30 September 2010, interested customers are encouraged to sign up for their selected UniFi packages soonest possible before the end of September to continue enjoying the current waiver of the installation charges. So grab the chance to become pioneers and enjoy the immense experience change in communications, lifestyle and entertainment brought about by high-speed broadband.”

Imri then elaborated on the tedious and complex installation process required for UniFi: “UniFi installation is very different compared to normal telephony and broadband installation due to the sensitive nature of the technology involved which requires a high degree of accuracy. UniFi is a service provisioned via direct fibre connectivity to the home where the installation process is more complicated and requires a high degree of technical competency. The UniFi installation process involves many elements – a site survey, drilling, ducting, piping, electrical work and equipment reconfiguration. Our specialist installers will be dealing with delicate and fine fibre optic cables, which require a very different handling methodology compared to normal copper cables. Hence, UniFi installation at a particular premise will usually take between 3 – 8 hours.”

UniFi was launched in March this year in selected areas around the Klang Valley. TM’s UniFi service is currently available in 23 areas including Shah Alam, Damansara, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Bangsar, Wangsa Maju, Sungai Buloh, Puchong and Cyberjaya, as well as Putrajaya and Damansara; and 5 areas outside the Klang Valley, located in industrial zones such as Kulim Hi-Tech Park in Kedah, Bayan Baru in Penang, Senai and Permas in Johor. UniFi service rollout has exceeded 500,000 premises passed nationwide. UniFi is being progressively rolled out to cover 48 exchange areas reaching 750,000 premises passed by the end of 2010, and 1.3mil premises passed by the end of 2012.

There are over 9,000 UniFi customers currently and approximately 12,000 applicants have registered their interest in the service.

UniFi is currently being offered via three residential and three business packages. The Residential triple-play packages are VIP5 at RM149 a month, VIP10 at RM199 a month and VIP20 at RM249 a month. Each package comes with voice, high speed Internet and either a basic or premium HyppTV subscription. The businesses packages are BIZ5 at RM199 a month, BIZ10 at RM599 a month and BIZ20 at RM899 a month. Each business package comes with an attractive call plan, high speed Internet and a host of complimentary value added services.
