TM Unifi Free Upgrade from 5Mbps to 10Mbps for VIP5 users

TM Unifi

After subscribing to TM UniFi 5Mbps (VIP5) for a few years now, I suddenly received an SMS from TM (Telekom Malaysia Berhad) congratulating me that my UniFi speed will be upgraded to 10Mbps! And it is FREE upgrade, No contract. I half suspect this is another SPAM message.

TM's Congrats SMS! 

Out of curiosity, after getting home from work. I restarted my modem, router and the HyppTV. I quickly run a speed test at www.speedtest.net and to my surprise, the TM Unifi broadband speed is now at almost 10Mbps! 

TM Unifi speed test after FREE upgrade to 10Mbps!

Initial test after the upgrade is great. I can watch Youtube video without buffering pause now. I hope this free Unifi upgrade is a stable one as i have to restart the TM UniFi modem and router again as the net became unresponsive after a few hours of usage. After restarting, the net is working fine again. And it is still at almost 10Mbps! 

Note:

TM UniFi confirms that this is not a prank. Apparently this upgrade is FREE and only target for selected users only.

Users who meet the following requirements are eligible for this free upgrade:

• Active TM UniFi subscribers who currently subscribed VIP 5 plan for more than 30 months.
• Have a good payment record

THE DNA JOURNEY: WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

When I first saw the video for The DNA Journey, I think I have to share with all the people I know. "These are everyday, real people who have their own opinions about different cultures, and they are all so proud of who they are and where they come from. The shock on their faces when they see how far their roots go shows not only how much love they have but also how much they are willing to share." Isn't true for us living in a multi racial and multi cultural country like Malaysia? 

The DNA Journey: a journey into who we are and how we are all connected as a global family. We asked 67 people from all over the world to take a DNA test, and it turns out they have much more in common with other nationalities than they would ever have thought. 

You can spread the word by sharing this video, and get a chance to win your very own DNA journey to travel to all the countries found in your DNA from at letsopenourworld.com.
