if he attempted to apply logic, why doesn't maxis use their own fiber infra instead of leasing vdsl from tm nut?

let them be la..... i know the history ^^

I just got back from my place, it seems that TIME will set up your phone after the initial line installation (in my case, after a week). I don't particularly care about the delay, since I don't have anyone in particular that I wanted to call (;_;), but just FYI for new subscribers.

The whole setup takes about 15 minutes. The phone quality is fine, and at least the phone looks nicer compared to what Unifi would give.

Apart from that... no further updates. Internet connection quality is as good as always. I think I'm running out of things to download.

There are currently 2 alternative last mile solutions, ISPs in Malaysia will take to deploy their fibre internet:

1) The HSBB route which is owned by TM whereby TM Wholesale will lease out the fibre network to interested parties such as Maxis, P1, and Celcom with base pricing per subscriber besides their own Unifi service. The network covers almost everything from the ISPs aggregation servers/routers right till the customers termination unit is entirely owned by TM. User connections will have to depend on different virtual connections to differentiate the ISPs they are subscribing.
ISPs own Network <-> TM HSBB Wholesale(via virtual connections) <-> User

2) Dark fibre leasing. This is the preferred method by Time. Most telecom companies that pull fibre will have lots of unused strands in their cabling. the come in excess of 6s pairs that oftenly goes unused and put aside for future needs. Instead of laying fibre all the way to each building or area, it makes more sense for a company like Time to lease unused strands of fibre for their own used instead of pulling their own. In some circumstances, areas like Penang where most of the fibre laid on the island us owned by a neutral company which owns their entire fibre network on the island, any telco can approach them to rent their network. I believe why Time chose this route is because it gives them better control over pricing and decisions when the fibre is all to your own use.
Time own network <->Time own last mile/Leased Dark Fibre from other companies <-> User

As you can see in terms of disadvantages:

ISPs on the the HSBB route:

1) Is required to pay the base circuit charges to TM Wholesale and this is why their pricing will be strictly held by the leg from TM.

2) Network traffic has to pass through the HSBB roundabout before reaching the ISP's aggregation servers/gateways which results latency and hops increase. The entire network from the internet exchange, the fibre OLT, last mile cabling and the user's network termination is owned by TM. Users will rely on different virtual connections and routing to reach their ISP servers.

What are the other choices which Time provides besides GPON (FTTH)?

Any building covered with ETTH? I know there's a leading ISP now in Britain called Hyperoptic which uses FTTB to place a 1000mbps P2P ethernet port in every apartment unit. It makes everything much easier just plug a router into the socket and get on the internet immediately.


Speed wise, blows everything that we have in Malaysia currently.
No need any modem(ONT) or bridge in between. It's already taken care of with the switch fed with fibre installed at the basement/each floor of the building.

Pricing:

Hehehehe.... now cracking head what to download issit ? LOL....

Hi expert here, Astro IPTV user here, but Astro still working, internet no longer.

My hand itchy the other day after buying a new AppleTV 3, want to put in VPN unblock-us DNS to for router but forgot id/pw to router, so itchy hand reset the Cisco E1000 router to default so tot can set the DNS after getting back the admin/admin id.

Can set up wifi back no prob, also put in the DNS. But the internet dropped.

Initially forgot to put back to PPPoE, and the user id/password. Now even put back correctly the user id/password for AstroIPTV, still cannot connect to the internet. do I need to put anything in hostname etc?

Have I not done anything step?

1) I have unplug all cable, blow clean the fibre optic, shut off and turn on again all hardware. Astro works fine, meaning the fibre optic should work fine, but still cannot connect to internet.

I can see my own dedicated static ip from the time.net.my selfcare page, kept saying not connected.

Please help.

Hi Bro... TIME Internet is fairly simple to setup. Just get ready yr TIME Account (Astro IPTV Account) in your case.
Then fill in to the PPPOE section of yr Cisco E1000, there's no need to fill in hostname & there's no need to fill in DNS.

Thanks.

Hi! I have my astro broadband last month. May I know how can I know my TIME ID so that I can activate my boost?

After the Installer finished installing, they usually will write yr astro iptv account for you on the docket form for you to sign.

Use that account to login to http://selfcare.time.net.my to boost.

Thanks.

It's not good for me to mention the comparison here with other providers.

But I can tell for sure with the 100% Fibre (the only provider in Malaysia who's doing this) whether for FTTH, FTTO..the stability & speed is very much guaranteed

for condo installation, how they calculate the fiber distance?
first 15meter is free right? measure from ELV riser? or from doorstep to inside unit?

start from doorstep

Hi Bro...from Point of Entry into yr house, FREE 15m Fibre Cable, additional per meter is RM15.
All cables outside yr house will b covered by TIME.

Does TIME Fiber give Public IP or Private IP?‎ Dynamic or Static?

TIME Fibre packages come with Public IP. Business Packages (FTTO) do come with Fixed IP.

Be friendly to the installer & they won't calculate one. An 100plus earn me a huge gulung of free fiber easily 15 meters
