Isn't Ipoh Garden presently covered already?

The other places in Ipoh which they pulled direct fibre cable presently is to the Mentri Besar's Residence, Istana Kinta, Kedai Telekom in Ipoh central and Pasir Puteh Telephone exchange.

I think there's a huge demand along the Pasir Puteh Road stretch from nearby upcoming hotels, AEON Station 18 Mall, electronic street and housing communities.



We are RIGHT in the middle of all the suburbs in Ipoh South of Pusat Bandar sandwich between Menglembu and Gunong Rapat.
To the South East of Pasir Puteh is the supposed Cyber City now abandoned and all focus is now shifted to Meru Raya in the North West.

You sure? Not Ipoh Central?
The reason why they are avoiding Ipoh Central is because of the huge investments involved replacing all the copper cables in the ground, the big mess of sunken doodles that have been there probably for ages.It's going to cost as much as how they wired up KL.
All those old colonial buildings and ancient cables. They are called brown field areas.

Have you seen MSAN large cabinets(FTTC) lined up in total of 3 to 4 in a row(labelled Vxxxx) under one stretch just side by side metres apart? You can find them in Greentown and on Jalan Pasir Putih Main Road.

That'll tell you the demand of Steamyx services in those areas.

My source is coming from TM insider engineers and installers.

This is in reference to your previous claims that Tasek Exchange has the one of the highest Streamyx subscribers in Malaysia for Perak.

The truth is Ipoh Central exchange serves almost twice as many subscribers in terms of capacity. It was one of the first exchange in Malaysia to have Streamyx DSL last time earlier than Tasek with the abundance of copper available so it was natural to start early.

It has 2X the amount of number assignments/allocations:

Ipoh Central Area:
05 - 243/244/245 xxxx
05 - 254/255/256 xxxx
05 - 320/321/322/323 xxxx (Pasir Puteh/Pasir Pinji/Pengkalan/Lahat)

Tasek:
05 - 545/546/547/548 xxxx
05-536 xxxx (Bercham) 05-533 xxxx (Tg Rambutan/Pakatan)

I noticed a few booths were set up during Labour Day during my morning session breakfast at Ipoh Garden South near IGB Plaza with promoters. At least 2 were set up around that area. They were like catching flies all the time.

You tell me how's the takeup rate there other than TM staffs on trial?
