espn hd?? astro win the contract just last year after bidding war with tm.

U guys are lucky people to already start enjoying UniFi. God knows when they will actually widen their coverage to other areas.

IMHO,based on contract for streamyx, there are no caps. Unlimited usage remember. They can only throttle

guys with unifi.. if wan to apply does it need to have telekom line @ home? no need rite? just to double confirm

^ Yep, no phone line necessary.

but they need to do wiring to the home right?

I called unifi cs to check on this.
I told the cs that I've been using streamyx longer than the minimum 1 year contract, so can I just terminate it once I get unifi installed.
After checking with someone, he said I can only terminate after June. I asked him, what if I proceed with terminating my streamyx account, will my unifi be blocked or something? He said he's not sureit's better if I check with Streamyx dept.

Will try and terminate my account and see what happens.

Yes, but the wiring has nothing to do with your phone lines. For UniFi installation, they will be using 2 types of fiber optics

(1) Black (from the FTTH boxes on the poles to the Broadband Termination Unit(BTU)
(2) White (from BTU to the Fiber modem)

That's it. The hardest part comes from getting the Black fiber to your house because that might require some drilling. After that's done, the rest is easy.

I think all the drilling is optional. You can request for laying the cable over the roof or something with no or minimal drilling...but you need to nego with the contractor for the quote.

owh .. not so many people there .. i think i know everyone who lives there ..

my area seems start to installing cables...

now i see some workers digging the ground and install wires...not sure it is for FTTH box anot bcuz last month they installed fibre optic cable (black + yellow cable? i assume)

I saw today TM started to installed HSBB cables around my area/in front my house (Klang area, Teluk Pulai).. under the hot burning sun..

any reviews yet ? Is it really HSBB? or a snail rebranded into something new which is still slow in reality ?

Read the previous pages.

Quick review:

Internet - 9/10 -> you get about 80% of advertised speed and it's very stable... so far... currently with no caps or throttling the connection is fantastic

IPTV - 6/10

Content - 5/10 -> really not very interesting content yet
VOD - 8/10 -> cool feature, but very limited content at the moment, bad picture quality, only has stereo audio, problems with aspect ratios
Picture Quality - 5/10 -> SD channels are nasty looking and has a lot of flicker, sports are almost unwatchable -> HD channels are okay but not great -> no control over Aspect Ratios - everything is stretched to 16:9
Audio Quality 7/10 -> No surround available, analog outputs have a LOT of noise, HDMI has medium noise, Optical s/pdiff is clean but there's a digital pop when changing channels - not TM's fault but the hardware can't handle TV3 / 8TV / TV9 audio very well - These channels randomly broadcast stereo / mono audio - so you'll have both speakers playing for stereo, but only the left speaker playing for mono signals


Telephone - 5/10 -> the good: cordless / call display -> the really really bad - the phone has audible crackling which will probably force me to keep my existing phone line.


Triple Play rating - 6.66 / 10

FFFF YEAAAH!

once ur contract ended, they will provide new t&c. surely put cap one.

then, u can either accept or not.

any guys experienced the phone problem in unifi as Arlington has?

for improving their speed, TM need to upgrade their core switch to Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System ASAP.


this is the shit, 322 terabit per seconds. this switch can transfer every single movie hollywood have ever made in under four minutes.
