UniFi is a triple-play service offering of VoIP, Broadband Internet and IPTV which is provided to residential and business customers in Malaysia through an Optical Fiber core network via FTTH for individual housing units and VDSL2 for multi-story buildings depending on the customer premises.

UniFi is an amalgamation of “Uni” which denotes togetherness and camaraderie, while “Fi” symbolises fibre optics.

Background [edit]

Initiated and signed in September 2008, the RM11.3 billion national HSBB (High-Speed Broadband) project is a PPP agreement between TM and the government to develop next generation HSBB infrastructure and services. TM is putting up RM8.9 billion while the government is co-investing RM2.4 billion on an incurred claims basis based on project milestones reached by TM.

The launch of UniFi is expected to intensify competition within the broadband space, which has seen the entrance of wireless broadband players like P1. Competitor YTL launched its WiMax wireless broadband in November 2010.

Malaysian government is banking on the HSBB project, which is the flagship of the National Broadband Initiative (NBI), to help Malaysia catch up with advanced countries such as Japan, Korea and Singapore, which have offered high speed broadband at relatively low prices for the past several years.

The rollout of Telekom Malaysia Berhad’s (TM) High Speed Broadband (HSBB) service, UniFi, continues to be on track with service availability now expanded to an additional 48 areas nationwide, bringing the total of premises passed to more than 750,000 at the end of 2010. This means that TM is well on its way to meet the targeted 1.3 million premises passed by the end of 2012 at the end of the first phase of the HSBB project rollout.

General [edit]

UniFi set different prices to customers by type of use (Residential or Business) and the download and upload speeds.

Currently, UniFi for home users is offered in three packages based on the maximum download speed ride, 5, 10 and 20 Mbit/s, Each client is given a dynamic IP address, a WiFi Modem Router, Internet Protocol Television including linear broadcast channels (Standard Definition and High Definition), interactive television and video-on-demand (through a Set Top Box ), 1 E-Mail Account with a 2GB Mailbox, DECT Phone including free calls to all TM landlines throughout the country, and a fixed rate of 10 cents per minute for calls to non-TM fixed-line and mobile phones throughout the country.

Criticism [edit]

There have been complaints on Twitter and the general uproar about the download cap on its UniFi packages.

To address this concern, TM held a briefing and feedback session attended by TM top-level management people, targeted especially at social media influencers and on the agenda were updates related to TM’s UniFi and Streamyx service, including security issues and consumer interest topics such as Fair Usage Policy, data caps and service contention ratio.
