Didn't they do trials before deciding to use the Dlink routers?
How can they say it's not capable to take the load?
Which also means someone is sleeping on the job or not doing their testing/trials work properly.

they under gomen pressure to deploy HSBB as soon as possible, plus tender by dlink is not bad. Most ppl have the impression dlink is a good brand, so they might assume it good too

sometime it hard to say also, for example, if u work in an engineering company, you order this specific grade concrete, when they sent sample you test, it meet requirement.. but when sent to actual work site.. the concrete is below requirement

but actually, FTTH is not needed actually ADSL2+ support 24Mbbps speed, installer once tested my line. he open until 15Mbps and tested before cappped me at 5mbps for my streamyx combo 4mbps. Should have asked him leave it
streamyx 4mbps maximun is a myth, it can go higher but due to TM hardware limitation and old wiring, maximum it can achieve also is 10Mbps or so

Dlink and Zyxel are both renowned brands from Taiwan.

But their incumbent telco in Taiwan, Chunghwa Telecom awarded their high speed fiber network VDSL2 modem supply contract to Zyxel instead.
Goes to show Zyxel is better than Dlink.

should understand, under open tender, what price can u offer and what after service u can give to the company, one competitor will not know what are the other competitor are offering

does not mean u win an open tender, u is a better company or brand is all about maximun profit, minimum cost, average quality.. MPMCAQ

I did mentioned that before. A good ADSL2+ line could still deliver up to 20mbps without much problem and given that we already have a matured ADSL2+ modem market here.You can buy so many brands out there.

Also posted a 10mbps ADSL2+ video speed test from Thailand which beats the crap out of Unifi when it comes to international connections.



^^ Look at Thailand's latest FTTH speedtest.

those things are huge, why FFTH can be made simpler for example 1 box to rule them all together.

Fiber cant bend as well as copper wire
it expensive also

easier to have multiple box.. so dont have to pull fiber from one huge box to your house
plus i think TM is using a single mode fiber, the cheapest of all fiber

not TNB pole but concrete phone pole just like the picture below

Alas, no mention of said fee. There isn't much information on the website yet, other than a brief explanation of what the service is like and a form for you to sign up for if you're interested.

so hows the service? any user's feedback? frequent disconnection.... slowdown.... etc?

how did you subscribe to it? very interested.

Right now, they have roadshow in BU 11/12, i just hand in my registration today.

hi kampung2005,

whereabouts is this roadshow? which roads or are they moving about?

I am not sure, they told me it is in BU 11, but i contacted them back in KLCC, so they assigned one guy to my house today, talking about the FTTH service.

At the moment, only BU 11/12 and Sierramas has it.

FUP is 40 GB.

yes, i stay in those areas mentioned. thanks!

Regarding to the Maxis Residential Gateway, does anyone know if it supports wireless connection, and if it does, is it in wireless N?

It is understood that the 6Mbps is referring to downlink speed, what about the uplink speed?

Just want to say Congratulation, first customer and special service to boot!!!

Australia uses ADSL2+ for their 24mbps+ speeds on copper lines. govt just wants to up their international status by implementing FTTH as early as possible even if with low speeds at the cost of consumers.

our 4mbps....thanks to our awesome telephone line infrastructure is limited because TM only has a selected amount of bandwidth that they can provide for the public & corporate sectors.

unifail takes some load off the previously 'rich' 4mbps copper line users to move over to FTTH backbone i guess?

that is TM.
Maxis using TNB poles. not sure for long term or temporary for testing.

i'm very sure that Maxis in collaboration with Alcatel Lucent & Huawei for their LTE & PON technology

I don't think they use TNB poles, especially in my housing area.

They installed fibre distribution point at the existing telephone poles which is also under Maxis. Again, in my housing area
