I just shifted few weeks ago and I've checked with TM people about unifi coverage at my area, they said still not covered.

After few weeks, 2 people from TM came saying that they've already fix the fiber optic cables and can register already. So I registered near end of March and in the paper it stated that installation day 10th April.

11th April still not getting any calls from them, I left him a message asking how long more should I wait. He apologized and will check with installer bla bla.

Then I decided to call TM and check on my status of application, they said my name is not even registered in the list.

I also kena from one of these tm agents..i don't think tm will ever call you directly to apply unifi. they promised installation on a specific date. then took leave stayed home whole day but no one came. when I checked, unifi wasn't even available at my address. i reckon we should make a police report against these people. don't know how many people they have tricked.

The heck with unifi, my house number is 37 and the coverage only till 34, then they never update or anything.

Someone call me and said my house will not has unifi coverage, offer me to upgrade 4Mbps instead.

Agreed and later on when I contact their product department, they tell me that my area doesn't support 4Mbps.

What the f*** is this shit?

34 is on the other side of the street. Is your phone cable in front or at the back?

Any idea why PJ Sental (area around MPPJ) is so slow? The box has been there two years but still not available. I am just curious.

Thanks. The area is actually a huge commercial centre in PJ. It was supposed to be one of the first areas that Unifi is supposed to be available. I think TM is actually losing out by the delay.

TM will only lose money if there are other HSBB competitors to take up the slack and lock in customers.
Right now if there is no Unifi service you just have to wait for Unifi. sad.gif

Well, before my office had Unifi, we had YES. So, TM wasn't making any money from us for broadband then. Plus these days, maxis and p1 will also offer services on TM's fiber. I would have preferred maxis hsbb.

I can understand why they are targetting Sabah.

Hopefully if a new Government takes over Perak hope they'll listen to the rakyat needs once again.

I see them pulling fiber cable in Ipoh Garden area today

Yes has limited qouta.
And as you pointed out , Maxis and P1 is riding on TMs fiber.
So, next to no impact for TM really with regards to hsbb services.
*
We were actually quite happy with YES. We don't finish our monthly allocation and they give free calls. Don't know why my bosses were brainwashed by unifi salesman.
TM needs a lot of subscribers to break even on equipment cost. Why spend all the money just to utilize it 10%? I think they have spent in excess of 1b that they will take years to recuperate. The more subscribers, the faster.

TM shouldn't have been allowed to operate both wholesale and retail hsbb.
It's uncompetitive and restricts competition that would have resulted in cheaper and faster rollout of services.
*
i believe tm is going to make it's money one way or another.
even if they don't do retail, the will still be the monopoly on wholesale. you can probably say that the fiber should be given to someone else but the fiber uses tm's underground ducts and cables. they certainly won't give another company permission to access their manholes. Even if they do, they would ask for compensation. for another company to put new poles and dig up new trenches would cost way more.

btw, i support your statement but it's not as simple as you think. No one's going to a business unless there's significant guaranteed returns.

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.

Well, I'm not Unifi staff so I don't really know what's happening. What I do know is that Tasek exchange has one of the highest streamyx subscribers in the entire Malaysia. That's what the streamyx fella told me last time. Maybe that's why they are concentrating on that area. A lot of Ipoh Garden has not been covered.

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.
*
What you say about Ipoh Central is just your own opinion or you heard from tm technician?

I see a lot of new white boxes around Ipoh Garden. I've also seen new boxes in the town area. These boxes should be for unifi as the area has already been covered via direct copper. There's no need for new fiber boxes in the area.

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?
*
Considering that Unifi runs on fiber, why would they have to replace the copper? It's a completely different cable.

I'm just saying what the TM guy told me. Exchange capacity has nothing to do with streamyx/unifi subscriptions rite?

I've never actually seen a unifi sales booth where there are people (other than the sales person) there. It doesn't represent the actual number of unifi subscribers too.

All those listed Ipoh Gardens area only. You got cover Pasir Putih and Pengkalan Station 18 area. Pity those doing well restaurants in Station 18 shopping centre they only got max 4mbps WiFi only but no choice that's the highest they can get. Got like hundred business premise dying to get fibre internet here but no one cares.
Hong Kong Kim Gary, Old Town Coffee, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Sakae Sushi all need fibre but no other choices.

But you go to De Garden there almost empty all times, got Unifi covered.  doh.gif

unifi contractors won't install to houses under construction/renovation
better to ask your contractor put a pipe then when all renovation done, unifi contractor can just pull the unifi cable through the pipe
