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
*
they re using TNB poles for some area such as Bangsar.
otherwise, they have their own poles.

Hello - I am back with some additional info, and to answer a couple of questions since started this thread.

This Maxis FTTH is now being offered on a limited basis to 5 areas - Bangsar, BU 11, BU 12, Sierra Mas & Mt Kiara. Those interested can call this toll-free line 1800-82-4663.

The Maxis-Thomson residential gateway has wireless function, but it is wireless G only, no N.

The package speed, as told to me, is 6Mbps down, and 6Mbps up.

I have since used the line for 48 hours, continuously on for whole period. Good to report that there is no service disconnect thus far. However, I do notice quite a lot of times, speed slowdowns & speed spikes.

For p2p downloads, during speed slowdown it did go down to 50 kB/s; during speed spike it did went up to 1.3 Mbps.

For direct downloads, it is more stable, the average download speed range from 600 kB/s to 800 kB/s, which is actually quite fast, compared to the much slower speeds that we had to bear with before.

My only complain so far is the DECT voice phone service is very erratic. It was working on the day of installation - able to make & receive voice calls, but since then, the service is down.

To me, at RM118 per month, it is a pretty good deal.

A good start for Maxis FTTH service !

The person who visited my house told me that if the usage exceeds quota, the speed would be reduced to about 1 Mbps.

You sure your download speed meter is reporting to you correctly?

700-800kBps = 5-6mbps

So if your 4mbps streamys is going at that speeds, it either means your download speed is reported incorrectly, or your actual speed is higher than 4mbps.

It could just mean he's one of the lucky few to be capped at 5 or 6 Mbps on streamyx.. it happens...

Anywho.. what's with this disturbing trend of TM and Maxis implementing caps on thier newest products? Not a good way to promote the product at all...

YTL Pakatan township at Bercham is served by Maxis ADSL.

Fiber optics is an entirely different infrastructure built. We have Maxis fiber already running at most areas at Pasir Putih(little blue color signs you see beside the road).

If TNB is willing to lease out their poles, then any isp can come to Ipoh and provide their FTTH service including Time/Jaring or Maxis.

I don't put much hope on TM after going through these few months with their 4mbps service.
Almost unusable because I can't seem to get what I paid for when I use it.

Maxis FTTH (Fiber-to-the Home) already launched 1st Sept 2010 in Bandar Utama Phase 11 & Phase 12, and I am using it now !

I stay in Bandar Utama Jalan 12/7, on 1st Sept, a team technical crew came to install the new fiber broadband from Maxis.
Another crew of relations officers also dropped by my home, with a hamper of gifts, a video shooting team & a carricature artist.
Hi TS, any ideas whether your Maxis FTTH service uses VLAN tagging?

IF they are not then it's good news as you might be able to use any broadband routers/home gateways with it to share your connection.

Hope Maxis will be using RF overlay in future to deliver their ASTRO services instead of using the data bandwidth and virtual circuits.

Besides there isnt really anything worth watching for astro these days, too many repeats.
