According to the image:<\/p>\n<p>9 sen = 3MB or 1 min voice or 1 SMS (<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/biatch0r\/status\/29571166900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A quick flashback to my Twitter guesstimate of their pricing some time back&#8230;<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>At the current pricing, 20GB would equate to RM600 (3 sen\/MB)&#8230; I was off by RM200 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>Well, I was honestly hoping they wouldn&#8217;t go forward with the current pricing structure, but I guess they&#8217;ve decided they know best. No amount of using the term 4G (despite the fact that they are not a 4G network) is going to help them gain customers when they are FAR from the cheapest network. The mobility and speed could be attractive, but when it comes at those prices&#8230; well, good luck. As far as I&#8217;m concerned, I wouldn&#8217;t even think twice about using them as my main telco, let alone ISP.<\/p>\n<p>Stop being idiots and spending millions on marketing. Improve your network, improve your pricing. It may be a stretch to say that YTL seems as retarded as TM announcing caps for UNIFI upon launch (it&#8217;s still going to happen, stop trying to kid yourselves), but it&#8217;s a very small stretch. Pricing like this is essentially shooting yourself in the foot&#8230; with a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Barrett_M82\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barrett M82<\/a> rifle&#8230; multiple times (not theoretically possible since your foot would have disintegrated after 1 shot)&#8230; while resting your chin on the shoulder stalk. Hey guys over at YTL, you should have a chat with the TM people over at UNIFI about their data caps&#8230; you might actually learn something (unlike the TM guys who are still going to impose retarded caps). The difference between TM and YTL is that TM has a monopoly, and will most likely continue to have a monopoly for many years to come despite leaking $$$ out of their asses for the past 20 years (and still random people in TM get paychecks that look like the GDP of small nations).<\/p>\n<p>Comparisons paint this picture:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>YTL is significantly cheaper&#8230; at 500MB<\/li>\n<li>YTL is slightly more expensive&#8230; at 3GB<\/li>\n<li>YTL is retarded at anything more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To break it down, if you plan on using YTL with anything more advanced than a WAP phone circa 2001, don&#8217;t bother. YTL will tear you a new asshole (possibly even 2). Their 5x the speed of 3G (which is essentially only about 2x the speed of 3.5G (actually less because Maxis isn&#8217;t perfect either)) will only serve to make you consume more data faster over an extended period. Assuming I do test their product, rest assured that if current pricing does not change I would only recommend it to people if they communicate in morse code&#8230; and I sure as hell won&#8217;t be using their product anytime after the trial period expires.<\/p>\n<p>I hoped that YTL would actually have come up with something not entirely subpar given the time they took to implement their network&#8230; Well, I leave you with a quote:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, maybe it isn&#8217;t leaked&#8230; but anyway, I&#8217;m sure everyone has seen the camera phone picture posted online by now.
