Trial speed as advertised by TM is 20Mbps, even from the 1st day of installation I was able to hit 18-19Mbps on local sites..

International speed is a bit slow though, and the high ping is definately not gonna help with online gaming. Hopefully TM fixes this when it rolls out HSBB to the public.

I got my trial "invitation letter" delivered to me personally by a TM staff. 2 days later they called to set up and appointment for installation. Installation, in my case, took them 2 days to complete. The 1st day they installed the hardware stuff (Fiber modem, BTU and router), the 2nd day the pulled the fiber optic wire from the telephone pole to the house and did some wiring to the house.

Actually the installation shouldn't take that long, it all depends on the layout of the house AND/OR whether or not any extra wiring is needed. It's actually a pretty straight forward process..

To those that waiting for their installation, these are some of the things that u should expect to be included

1. fiberHOME Modem (Fiber Optic Modem)



2. Dlink DIR-615 Wireless N Router (or as TM calls them RESIDENTIAL GATEWAY)



This is not the exact one, the one TM provides is white and orange, with TM branding.. Also on the front is a USB port.. Not sure on the functionality of it, maybe the Dlink SharePort functionality.

3. Aztech Cordless Phone (plugs into the fiberHOME Modem)



Aztech E210-P2

4. A goodybag (Some instruction manuals, brochure, limited edition Bunkface CD and Headphone

Thanks for sharing the info. But the international ping still bad, the speed not even reach 10Mb/sec, thats is not good for a fiber optic network.

i think tm is trying to take care about local network first before proceeding to take care about international link. well if the routing to tm is bad or problematic, the international link would be slower right?

nope,mine will be next month also..

Not really.. have to do a pingtest to be sure. Hye can you guys do a ping test at pingtest.net? then we can see what the connection quality is really like

is there any minimum subscription period like we to have on our regular internet/streamyx plan? how much does it charge?

I wonder if the D-Link router is a requirement, or if it can be put in a closet in favor of our own equipment. It's not something I would want on my network.

Dunno about that but it was dial up.

we can live without it even it'll reach Kuching in 2014 or 2020. In fact, I'm happy with my 1mbps.
What we want to see is overall performance (stability + speed offers + price). And I'm waiting for at least a few negative comments HSBB users

Now everyone can host their website on their PC since plenty of bandwidth to play with technology almost similar like leased line

you're making one assumption.

If that speed and most importantly, the connection, are consistent.

where your area?

1 year of subscription..the charges is still unofficial..


i think its a requirement..

TM guys doing installation at my house rite now.. nice free gift..

snap some pictures will u ?

the dude's doing the registration for the items rite now..will try to snap few pics.. basically its the fibre modem,D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N router, and a DECT cordless phone. The guy said its all free.. huhu

Can my Belkin Wireless N support fiber optic? or need their special modem?

pingtest.net results.. obviously the test to kl server is very good.. tests to other servers shows relatively high ping... with 0% packet loss and almost no jitter all TM have to do is deal with the high ping time.. and they're all set!!

section 19 pj.. near tropicana city mall..

yup all free... btw dun gatal2 and go hard reset the router.. all settings will be wiped out!! if u need help configuring the router pm me..


the fiber optic cable will terminate to the fiber modem.. the router & DECT phone connects to the modem... not sure about ur router though, if im not mistaken tm is using vlan in the router for troubleshooting purposes...
besides the router provided is not that bad, heck its even free...

Oh ok, thanks for the info, as long as the service is good. I have the same ping to USA with my 1Mbps. I seek for a lower ping after the 'real' upgrade.

Yes, means having HSBB around is not solving the performance that were issued long time ago. I haven't seen that people talk about HSBB IPV6. Anyone have this info...?

Don't forget most of us are using dynamic IP Address. It is almost stability and reliability lies behind the HSBB project.
