Yay! Free upgrade by TM is here.

The offers are valid before February 2017 and it benefits UniFi customers the most. Those on Unifi Advance Plan 30Mbps (megabits per second) will be upgraded to 50Mbps, for instance.

In a blog post, Facebook-owned WhatsApp finally announced that it will be fully free! The minimal US$0.99 subscription fee (after free use for 1 year) is not longer applicable to all users.

The growing competition actually comes from Telegram and WeChat which are available for free (although the later seems to be filled with ad-based texts messages). The company stated that: “Many WhatsApp users don’t have a debit or credit card number and they worried they’d lose access to their friends and family after their first year.

Latest in the coverage area is Contempo Commercial Centre which is across the road from the Tiya Vista. TM should really consider expanding the coverage to the university areas in Kota Samarahan since the population of students are growing rapidly and they are in need of decent broadband connection.

Malaysians are all frenzied with the sudden appearance of “Jadilah Seperti Rashid” or Be Like Rashid on social media.

Obviously, “Be Like Bill” inspired their existence.
