when only will k trg have unifi? lol

Those cabinets labelled with Cxxx are fiber distribution cabinets for passive optical networks.
They are used to organize and hold fiber optic cabling for passive optical networks which doesn't require any active power supply apart from the OLT at the exchange.

As for the 'V' labelled cabinets by ZTE, they are modern remote DSLAMs which are capable of VDSL2 services with just a swap of line cards inside.

Have you seen in the deployment map last time by TM? It mentioned that urban areas and capital cities of states would still get 10mbps broadband while high economic impact areas get 20mbps.

I'm guessing this is what they meant. To eventually offer 10mbps broadband packages sometime end of this year or in 2012 using this remote DSLAMs for such areas. Not sure whether it'll be ADSL2+ or VDSL2 but anyone living within 500m away from this cabinets are likely to be eligible.

Some telco companies in US and Europe already started switching their copper broadband users from ADSL2+ modulation to VDSL2 to take advantage of the extra bandwidth. All this with just a swap of a line card and a new modem at the customer's premise.

If you live within 2km from an exchange, VDSL2 gives better bandwidth and advatages such as higher uploads and download speeds.

Anything above 2km, the performance of VDSL2 and ADSL2+ are the same.

But within 1.km, VDSL2 could provide upto 20mbps while ADSL2+ speeds drop below 20mbps if distance is above 1km.

Kuantan already got fiber optic via JALENAS. Why do you still want Unifi?

TM’S UNIFI HIGH SPEED BROADBAND SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE IN MELAKA
TM delivers service ahead of original 2012 target 

The rollout of Telekom Malaysia Berhad’s ™ High Speed Broadband (HSBB) service, UniFi continues, with the service now being expanded to Melaka, ahead of the service availability scheduled in 2012 for the state, marking yet another significant achievement in the service roll-out plan.

The service was officially launched today by Y.A.B. Datuk Seri Haji Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam, Chief Minister of Melaka, and witnessed by Y.B. Senator Datuk Maglin Dennis D’Cruz, Deputy Minister of Information, Communications and Culture, Datuk Dr. Halim Shafie, Chairman, TM, and Datuk Bazlan Osman, Group Chief Financial Officer, TM.

Commenting on the launch, Datuk Dr. Halim said, “Being the first and premier HSBB service provider in Malaysia, TM is proud to be able to launch our UniFi service in Melaka much earlier than what has been scheduled. On behalf of TM, I would like to extend our greatest appreciation to Y.A.B. Datuk Seri Haji Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam for his undivided support, because under his stewardship, the State Government of Melaka has entrusted us to fulfil the broadband demand of the people here and bring an enhanced and integrated digital lifestyle to the homes of Melaka citizens with the availability of UniFi.”

“Our appreciation also goes to the Ministry of Information, Communications and Culture for their commitment in rolling out this national broadband project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement. This achievement in Melaka is testament to our aspiration to become the preferred communications partner to the Government,” added Datuk Dr. Halim.

With the launch, TM has officially brought UniFi to Melaka and Melaka citizens have started enjoying the service since 15 July, beginning with the residents in the Malim area. By the end of the year, the service will be available to more than 5,600 premises in 15 residential areas connected to the Malim exchange.

In 2012, the coverage will be expanded to the Tangga Batu exchange, with a progressive rollout to other areas to be conducted in phases. 

“The State Government of Melaka is excited that the HSBB service is now available and can be enjoyed by the communities in Melaka. We are more than happy to co-operate and collaborate with TM in pushing the roll-out of UniFi in Melaka to a much earlier date, ahead of the initial plan under PPP. I really hope that the provisioning of UniFi will encourage the ICT adoption among the local citizens, and it is in line with the State Government’s aspirations as a Green Technology City,” said Datuk Seri Haji Mohd Ali Rustam.

“The HSBB project is a national infrastructure initiative that is much needed to ensure the competitiveness of our country in the region. It is a catalyst towards transforming Malaysia towards a Knowledge Economy or K-Economy, where we use Information Technology to increase national productivity and competitiveness. HSBB also serves to boost local industry growth in the areas of content, creative multimedia, e-commerce and IT. Indirectly, the HSBB network serves to attract international content providers to base their operations in Malaysia and in turn, encourages national conservation of costs in the long term for consumers and businesses,” said Senator Datuk Maglin Dennis D’Cruz. 

Besides UniFi, TM is expanding the availability of its WiFi service in the state, which will have more than 1,200 TM WiFi hotspots by the end of the year up from 700 hotspots available currently. TM is also playing a lead role in efforts to expand broadband penetration to a total of 87,000 households in Melaka.

TM’s rollout of its various services in the state is in support of the Melaka State Government’s aim to encourage the full use of ICT among residents by showcasing Melaka as one of the most developed states in terms of the utilization, availability and access to ICT-related services. This is in line with TM’s commitment to be the preferred partner for the public sector.

Currently, UniFi service is available at 72 exchange areas and has reached total premises passed of 937,000 as at 26 July 2011. The areas include the 60 in the Inner Klang Valley as well Nusajaya in Iskandar Malaysia and industrial areas around the country including 1 in Melaka, 3 in Penang, 1 in Kedah, 6 in Johor and 1 in Negeri Sembilan. TM is well on its way to meet the targeted 1.3 million premises passed by the end of 2012.

Now available at East Coast Peninsula!!!

Latest Unifi coverage at Kemaman, Terengganu.

Location under coverage at Kemaman Supply Base (KSB) and Kg. Bukit Kuang.   

cant wait for unifi to arrive kuala berang, terengganu. probably another 2-5 years... but, uhhh...

Kemaman here, now launched at certain areas...    

When that happens it'll mark the end of the current government's ruling and heralds something more interesting.

Hopefullly the new government will do away with the HSBB monopoly and introduce something that considers a solution that is fairer to the people like rural areas will be served with LTE to make up for the fibre coverage while fibre coverage will not be driven by political motives.

For those who have yet to receive fibre coverage but live within key urban limits, not to fret maybe there'll be something newer and more interesting coming to your place other than those who have already been covered by the HSBB project. Don't let your hopes down.
The current government will disappoint you but the new government will not.

Like they say your enemy's enemy is your friend. 

kuala terengganu got coverage or not?

I'm not sure why Menteri Besar started UNIFI coverage from Kemaman first? He should started it from Bandaraya Warisan Pesisir Air zzz..

You mean Kemaman is is Hometown? 

Same here, and my place is worse than you, highest is 1Mbps Streamyx, 2Mbps don't even have port
