That's already in violation of TM installation agreement - not disclosing your ID to your customer for followup and installation appointment.

How can TM allow their contractors do whatever they like. It gives impression that they have no control over them.

At 00:49 sec of the video:

Ipoh still have to wait another year I guess. Now only they started pulling from Tambun towards MB Residence into Ipoh town, Jln Yang Kalsom and Central Market.

I've already discussed this volume quota model in the other thread few days back. It's flawed and actually an excuse by greedy ISPs to oversell more.The very scarcity of bandwidth was thought by ISP themselves to create more value in their earnings but they expect their customers to budge.

While Australia is one of the pioneers who adopted this charging model, many ISPs in US have started distancing themselves from this idea especially liberated middle size ones such as Sonic.net(Google Trial ISP).

The ISPs are the very ones who know who much their capacity can fit the number of users to handle. If users can't tolerate the slowness anymore, then it's time to stop intake and reconsider upgrading.

To be exact, the very first isp in Australia with this volume quota model was Telstra.

You know what happened to their expat CEO Solomon Trujillo the last time? After being blamed for losing $25billion in value, this person just fled Australia with his entire family.

Australia today still remains as a very capitalist and greedy country.

Give him exact Google Map coordinates.

I think "they" already know who you are from Lowyat.net

Good to hear that you're making progress.

Yeah, please brief us on their installation and which ONU and equipment they provided.

Huawei, AlcaLu or FibreHome ONU?

Alcalu is the best ONT you can get at this moment from TM.

Which KL server you tested on? Ping might be slightly higher even for local if it's different server from TM.
Do a few more test results to US West Coast(LA), Singapore, & HK.

How can they leave the thing drop cable exposed like that?

Better pray there's no thunder storm like what like in SJ recently. It's susceptible to strong wind and might get fractured if not careful.

Did they charge you any extra?

How can that entry suddenly change?

You got disable remote management earlier a not? Better do it if not you're opening a serious backdoor for hackers to remote control your home gateway router(DLink unit).

I'm not sure what you're referring to LAN IP ranges, your router's LAN address or port forwarding. Better ask the Unifi sifus here with hardware expertise.

A screenshot with your IPs erased(white out) with paint can help a lot.

That looks like you previously installed some VPN or something...
You got install any VPN before this such as your company's VPN?

Yes it should not be ticked.

That one is not your web configuration but your browser's configuration.

I'm telling you if you get that blek router you'll regret and can never go back. It's a rebadged of some unknown company brand probably from China and they stamp a TM R&D logo on it.

Looks like this:

If like that better ask TM don't supply and allow 3rd party Unifi certified RG to be sold in market then charge cheaper monthly rates.

This is better than to source unknown OEM models from backlane China factories and stamp own brand on it.

How come you don't see this sort of crap offers from Singtel, HK PCCW, or even China. Only the worst of 3rd world countries do things like these. It indirectly tarnish company reputation only. Even in China, they stamp China Telecom logo on the casing but retain the brand name on it like ZTE or Huawei on the box.

This thread got comments on it:

They pulled a dedicated fibre cable(black cable with yellow stripped wire) to the Perak Menteri Besar's residence here in Ipoh.

Maybe its a fully uncapped dedicated line to a GPON 2.5Gbps port from the OLT.

Since you don't want powerline HPNA and any wall drillings, the most economical but appropriate way is still to run a dedicated CAT6 all the way to your TV. You don't need any contractor, just buy enough CAT6 cable with the right length, cable casing, and good double sided tapes. No nails are needed! Don't forget the network crimper!

Even better for neat job, there are such things as thin strip Ethernet cable and plastic fibre in the market today for home networking. Run the cable casing around the wall lining for minimum visibility and you'll have your gigabit capable network.

Super flat cat5e, Shielded Cable


Or you can route POF - Plastic over fibre for Home Networking.

Swiss Telecom uses this method for home installs. Even amateur can do it with a simple kit set with plain scissors.

With some effort you can conceal the cable like it's not there by hiding under the carpet or wall linings below.

At Ipoh here I can ask my reliable electician friend and he's willing to do it with material provided for just under RM20-30. That even includes climbing up my roof if he needs too. He does it very neat too

My electrical wiring contractor who is Chinese in Ipoh here charges only <RM50 only for workmanship(minus the material) for pulling cables above the ceiling.
His workmanship is way more professional and he does projects involving 3-phase wiring and installations in industrial factories.

With RM250 or less he can do very neat concealed wiring on a landed property and good materials such as Schneider/Clipsal switches and metal telephone ports.
Those who live in apartments/condos, no choice sometimes you can only choose assigned contractors allowed by the building management.

RM600+? Must be real rip off in Klang Valley. What kind of material he's providing you? Hope it's not those China unknown brand stuffs.

If they have professionalism, during the 1st visit by the Unifi installlers should do a survey and layout panning to the house informing the owner how the cable should run.
Then the premise owner can assign his own contractor to do the necessary conduits and cable covers to preapre for the day of installation.

When the actual day of installation everything should be there for the installer to just pull the cable and install everthing on their part.

In countries like Japan and Korea. That's the way they do it. The installer must negotite and inform the property owner how they intend to do the job and ask for permission before commencing work. If the owner disagrees, then renegotiate with alternative suggestions until it is agreed upon.

Nothing surprising, sometimes their work is made hard through their OWN limitations.

I believe the by the 100% "bumi"ruling, they can also impose any convenient charges as they like yet maintain their own standards.

That's why it's no surprise also some will end up with RM600+ charges while those who opted for freebies end up with exposed "terbang" wires.

There is no need to follow strict guidelines just the take it or leave it attitude.

Why can't the premise owner provide their own conduits and cable casings to preapre for the wiring done by Unifi installers?
It's fair what right? I set up everything for you before you arrive and on the day itself you just pull the necessary cables and set up the equipment

The pigtail customer termination casing all I buy myself and install in place. When they just come just pull the fibre.

Do you think it's fair? I get to choose my own high quality boxes from 3M or whatever and make it easy for the installer.

Oh ya Rattan, can you help check the status or future availability for my postcode 31650 and 30050?

I saw "tong sampah" in front of some house and the green fibre cables running neaby these boxes on poles.
Those tong sampah got no TM label on it.

Thanks.

But no coverage records on Unifi site.Box still wrapped with no TM logo.
Fibre cable has green stripe.
