Ever since I wrote about my disappointment with the redundant charges on fixed line rental in order to use Streamyx, there have been many supports to ask for a combined bill and charges.
I thought TM had responded to our request and introduced the new Streamyx Combo lately. However, what I think about it is that’s merely a repackaged. I signed up for the upgrade to RM110/month. I used to be using the 1Mps package for RM86/month ( RM2 rebate for using auto-charge on my credit card as payment method). Adding on the fixed line rental of RM26, the total I used to pay is RM112/month.
The new package gives me all the same benefit – same line, same phone number, same login user ID, same 1Mps unlimited broadband access – with RM2 discount. That’s not much at all. But what is required from me is just a signature and form-filling. I probably spent 10 minutes on that, during my lunch beside TM office. 10 minutes for RM24 a year and every year as long as there is no better offer, it is still a bargain.
I am not the only one who is disappointed after all.

Just got an email from Choon Lai. He suggested that I change my fix line rental to subline rental.
What you need is:
Someone already have a fix line and sub a line for you.
Sub line rental: RM 10 per month save RM 25 per month
Disadvantage: Someone have to trust you cos same billing.
Thanks Choon Lai. A trick that I never realize.
with the combo1 package, just save about RM10++, if without package, the price will be RM45(streamyx)+ rental RM26
may be i will change it, since my maxis bardband are so lousy
@iCalvyn,
can you share a bit how “lousy” is your maxis broadband?
If possible, at forum.kclau.com
how dare they call that promotion? they just combined fixed line and streamyx fee. Nothing different
if you subscribe Combo3 package of course not much different to you. But if you want to subscribe Combo 4 and Combo 5 which cost between RM140 and RM160 is totally worth at all. Im thinking to switch the package to Combo5-4mpbs. What do you think?
@ Vickie,
1 Mbps is fast enough for me. I didn’t try other higher speed anyway. Is anyone subscribed the faster package? Share with us your experience.
