now we are talking about competitor

hope TM will reduce price

based on 3rd pic.. i lol-ed

That is TM telephone pole, imagine both TM FTTH and Maxis FTTH distribution point on the same pole
one cheaper and another expensive or two technician from diff company trying to fix their service on the same pole
now that a view i would like to see

u do know TNB pole dont have no steel step for the worker to climb

if u can get a tender that offer u a lower price per-unit router than other brand ! u will take the cheaper or more expensive ?
but some how unit supplied to TM is below standard quality

my dlink lasted 5 years no problem, and my DIR-615 already run for 2 years without problem also

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

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

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

timesdotcom... lol

coverage area will be small

they should have partner with TM, both company will earn big $$$ if they combine rather than against each other

500Gb ? IF u look around at other world ISP.. that quota is only offered to server datacenter.. the most i see is 250GB for 20mbps line

what u expect ? now every getaway provider are selling not speed but bandwidth.. so TM have to buy certain amount of bandwidth ! if unlimited for all package, sudah lama TM will have no extra bandwidth to support other service .. do note maxis buy bandwidth from TM for their ftth

just because u pay RM100+, it not your privilege for unlimited downlaod
