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.

sure, but i'll need a more specific jalan name/add.... coz coverage is sometime "skipping".

Your data charges is prorated?
While you will only see charges incurred for IPTV if you subscribe to additional channels/premium contents while you have voice charges if you make calls outside the free TM fixed line networks?

You should only be worried of download caps if volume amount appears in your usage tracking..
