Re: Internet in Penang

I tried to call their Customer Service. I was put on hold for a long time and then got disconnected... Does anyone know if Time has an office in Penang where you can talk to a real person? Thanks.

You could downgrage to the cheaper package but the contract duration will be reset and you also loose any promotion/discount of the current contract if any (in my case the RM 20/month for new...

Re: Internet in Penang

I have the c1200 but had to reboot the router to kick off that speed. I then did the speed test and the download was a big fat 500mbps while the upload was 39mbps, not bad!

Re: Internet in Penang

I got upgraded today by Time, from 100mbps (RM 149/month) to 500mbps (RM 139/month). Since I had a new customer's discount of RM 20 from August, my package is actually only RM 119 for 500mbps. Still...

Hi,
I was told that for a joint preferred account, only the principal card holder can have access to airport lounges, and even that only 4 times a year in Malaysia. Is that true?

Re: BigPay, is it really big?

Thb 180 is about USD 6. I'm surprised that Epicurious only paid RM 8. I tried Visa, Master cards from several American and Canadian banks, as well HSBC Malaysia debit card, all require USD 6. Maybe...
