What do you call those boxes?

my area is monopolized by maxis. there's no way for me to use unifi even it is here........ZzzZzzzzzzzzzz

The smaller ones labelled with Cxxx are called FDP cabinets.It is where you organized all the fibre cables that are separated from the (1xN) splitter.

The large ones you can call them remote DSLAMs, MSAN cabinets or AT&T calls them UVerse calls them VRADs.

The entrance to the shortcut to Greentown, nearby Menteri Besar house.

Just came back from Ipoh...
I noticed that there are "small" Unifi Cabinet around the Army Camp Area (Not sure where it is)...
It was labelled as "TSK xxxxx" something....
Some more, most of the phone polls around Ipoh have two types of cables hanging on it...
Above one is existing copper infrastructure and below the copper cable, there is fibre cable with yellow strip underneath the cable....    But unfortunately, there's no Fibre Distribution box seen yet.... 
Location : Around the Pantai Puteri Hospital... (Greentown perhaps)

i have a *theory* that maxis is reselling for TM and then leasing it to other ISP like Time and Jaring.

so maxis doesn't really need to sell their own fiber broadband packages but other ISP like Jaring and Time can lease from maxis to sell their own fiber packages to consumers.

thoughts?

Can some insider from the fibre cable industry share with us what is this about?



Pictures inside:


"Projek Pemasangan Kabel Jalur Lebar Berkelajuan Rendah":lol: going on in my housing area  starting last month which is non TM related.

They are installing new poles similar to TM telephone poles(but are not) and also running them on existing TNB electricity poles.
Those cables NEVER touches TM poles for some reasons.

The unfamiliar recognition with those cables are that they have GREEN stripes instead of YELLOW owned by TM Unifi's.

I had the opportunity to ask supervisor of the cable contractor on the job and he says it's going to be used for Maxis upcoming cable TV and broadband project something between the lines.

I'm very heppi now that finally some competing ISPs is now hearing the pleas of Ipoh residents since TM has been depriving us of Unifi for so long.

Thank you for hearing the needs of Ipoh residents.

Looks like some other telco player is helping lay fibre optic in Ipoh earlier than TM. Kuddos to them.

No signs of Unifi until now at postcode: 31650 where Pasir Putih, Pengkalan and new Aeon Station 18 is located nearby.

Now the only Unifi infrastructure seen only in 31400 which is Tasek exchange (Kg Simee, Taman Shukor, Tambun Baru, Sunway & part of Ipoh Garden). That also still many areas such as Canning Garden, Fair Park all nothig seen yet.

Also Jelapang 30020 is yet to be available in their Unifi availability site check.

If TM going to start laying at Pasir Putih, maybe another 2 years from now lah.

when is gonna happen?

Those look like backhaul uplinks to telco towers/base stations.

Nothing to do with fixed lines. If got fixed lines, you will see FDCs(fibre distrbution cabinets) along the road nearby.

TS got pics of Maxis cabinets nearby? Or drop boxes on poles in front of the house?

If none, then those cables are mostly for LTE base station uplinks.

if jaring bb go back to no1 we can choose a to boikoit tm and the menteri besar perak can launch a broadband war!!!

I wonder when my housing area will be covered. My postcode is 30020 too but in meru. website says only Puncak Jelapang Maju~
