The UniFi / High Speed Broadband (HSBB) is a broadband service provided by TM that offers broadband at speeds of 5Mbps and above. The HSBB is expected to be deployed around the Klang Valley and several other key areas throughout the country by the end of 2012.

There are currently 3 packages offered to home users — VIP5, VIP10 and VIP20.

VIP5

• 5Mbps download/upload
• 60GB download quota
• RM149 / month

VIP10

• 10Mbps download/upload
• 90GB download quota
• RM199 / month

VIP20

• 20Mbps download/upload
• 120GB download quota
• RM249 / month

Unlike the current Streamyx packages provided, TM’s HSBB package does limit users’ usage by implementing a download/upload quota limit. This did not go down well with the general public as they voice their dissatisfaction in social networking sites. TM then reacted by announcing that they will not implement the download / upload quota limit for their HSBB service until further notice.

TM’s contractors were spotted installing cables for its HSBB service in Section 14, Petaling Jaya tonight. If you are living in that area, the HSBB service may be available to you in the very near future. Moving over to HSBB does not seem like a bad idea as Streamyx seems to be slacking off lately.
