Actually streamyx 4Mb can download more than 1.5GB per hour.

heheh forgotten to mention i downloading 6 megaupload, and 4 more torrent...heheh

Ya u really make a point, its something to be considered. If this ideology works out, everyone on all ISP's will benefit. Best to start rolling out the plan now itself.

I think storage/hard disk company is really going to benefit, since TM launch HSBB. Im sure their hd sales going to double fold.

Yeah if i subscribe to HSBB
i am going to install 5 1.5TB hdd or as much as my hdd slot is available

What package u planning to get ? Yr location covered in Q4 ?

I wonder.. is it possible to have 2 Unifi accounts in 1 house? If yes, will they have to pull 2 separate cables?

what?
u need 40Mbps?...20+20?

In case anyone wants to know more about FTTH.

You have to remember that there are many phone lines belong to Time and Maxis.
If you call those numbers, you will be charged as those numbers are not TM numbers.
So, be prepared to have charges in your phone bill.

the torrent DL/UL ratio shown by users here are ridiculous.. dem leechers!

That time low power usage computer or NAS sale will be better also

Not really.
It's just that I have 2 Streamyx accounts at home, the primary one will be upgraded to UniFi 20MB next Thursday, the secondary one is a Streamyx Combo 2MB account... I figured I might as well just upgrade both accounts at one go > upgrade the 2MB combo account to UniFi 5MB since the price difference is minimal (+RM29).

probably the VIP20 if they come up with good bandwidth cap or the BIZ5 if the consumer package is screw up. What to do with 120GB?

I read this article. It highlights the consequences of a very important, and shortsighted, design decision that was made for the Malaysian HSBB installation.

Rather than actually doing point-to-point fiber from each home to a central point, the fiber runs in Malaysia are aggregated with passive splitters in each neighborhood. This has two major effects:

1) It is much more difficult to unbundle the fiber from access. That is, it helps to preserve TM's monopoly position which is definitely not in Malaysia's best interest.

2) It increases the chance that in a few years, the streets will have to be torn up again to install new fiber.

Too bad there is not more open public oversight of government in Malaysia, it would save everyone a lot of money in the long run.

Yea sometimes i just wish there was another isp(maxis or time maybe?)to compete with tm by laying their own fiber network.This of course needs huge capex.Gomen just don't want to unbundle it cuz tm is still GLC.....damn...

Guess most of us are stuck with tm fiber forever and ever....

mari undi kerajaan baru!

It's hardly a day since installation completed in my house, so far the results look promising. I wouldn't be too quick to judge it yet though.

oh yeah..for your info...this fiber thing...can go up to 100mb. The launch pad that day doing in dataran merdeka is actually single cable 100mb. They will be slowly open up, the bandwidth. Every year they will be paying more and more for the international link. So expect faster connection in this few years. When i applying that time, the guy actually told me that, TM actually behind schedule...this project suppose to be few years back. a lot of country actually using this...

Im amaze actually by looking at a beehoo size of a cable...can hit up to 100mb. The cable actually very sensitive...they have to use alcohol to clean the tip of the cable first, before cliping it...making it as a cable. Your connection speed is very much depending on the way they make the cable. any dirt on it...will reduce badly.
