Hi all,

I'm moving into a year 2006 built condo in OFF OLD KLANG ROAD - Sri Jati 2 condo and now only i realise there's no phone line for this "new" condo as told by TM.. any residence staying in Sri Jati 2 mind to confirm?

this is Msia year 2009 and i really can't believe a new condo does not have a single inch of fixed line? even worst than KAMPUNG la! for those who used to live at condo, some condo really NO phone line in wall?

i need to install a fixed line for calls and Streamyx.. sighh.. hope you guys can brighten my sky~ thanks~!

When was the last time u apply?

Check with the condo management.

ya lo.. goin to check with condo managemnt nex week when i move in.. but what's the normal condo standard? usual have phone line or mostly don't have?

go ask the condo management. Maybe they gave it to Maxis or Time?

shit lo.. i only want TM.. i used a lot fixed line calls.. die die.. aighh..

Because everyone now use handphone only and also laying copper wire = extra cost for the developer. All new housing areas and buildings are like this.

NO phone line but at least must be fiber ready!

Take the effort to push the developer to get a telco company to provide their services there. If TM refuses, get Time or Jaring or even Maxis to provide fixed line to the building.

hmmm.. thank all for the previous advise.. i need Streamyx.. i really can't survive with wireless fair usage quota.. P1 rm99 only 20GB.. sighh..

They have unlimited at RM160.

Rm160 so expensv.. with streamyx Rm160 i can get 4MB.. read a lot review on P1.. not really stable.. sometimes fast sometimes can't even move at all T_T .. still Streamyx the best for me..

streamyx 4mbs not stable. not all streamyx server build for 4 mbps account.

I advise the same~ you may get Maxis or TM fixed line~

For single user, I advise nothing more than 1Mbps~

Most condo has phone lines.
But maybe some extraordinary condos does not provide them..

The stories I've heard before is that, these copper wires was stolen some time back (copper fetch good price in the market) and no one is willing to share the cost to replace all of them, in the end, all of them ended up without phone line.

hmmm.. really thank u all for the valuable comment.. most prob will get P1 if really no Tm fixed line.. sighhh.. seems like P1 now quite stable? pls correct me if i'm wrong..

I don't think so. I know many people who have moved into new buildings finished over the past couple years. They all have Streamyx (and hence they all have fixed lines).

If the developer is so cheap they didn't allow a few ringgit per unit for copper phone wiring, I would be worried they also used old rice porridge mix in the cement. Better get lots of insurance - and a parachute!

no coverage from Amax there~ you should wait for management's reply on wired broadband~ wired always beat wireless~ if there is no choice, then only consider wireless~

Some area's do not have fixed line due to the fact that there may not be enough port to install yet. Or, ports sudah habis, so temporarily, dont install yet

Some Developers may have signed contract with Telco / internet broadband provider that they provide the entire condo with internet connection via WIFI. cost is ofcourse bared by the tenants.

still same, talk to the management

hmm.. thanks all for the precious comment.. Amex sounds nice but too bad no coverage.. thanks guys!

eh guys,

Is there a way to add another phone line? me living in condo too and only have one which is in the living room( my desktop in room). Sometimes I get really fed up with wireless and wish to install another phoneline in my room. Do I call TM or my condo management?

Thx!
