My partial installation was scheduled for 230pm today. Maxis guy arrived around 245pm and we waited until like 330pm when TM guys (3 of them) finally arrived. They said it's very jam in Bangsar.

I told the TM guy that I would like to have the fiber cable (white) to be pulled to the living room, where the TV is. Using my tape, it's estimated to be around 20m. He said that will incurred an additional charge of RM10/m. Standard is 15m only.

He warned me that laying the cable on the floor corner (old house, no internal cabling for phone line) may risk the cable being damage when sweeping or mopping the floor.

The fiber cable installation (black) from the aerial pole behind the house to the Fiber Terminal Box is pretty quick. I asked that the white cable inside the house not to be clipped to the wall (as I'm having second thought of placing the modem and router at the dining hall instead).

In the end, the TM guy gave me like 25m of the white fiber cable FOC. Probably he's happy not having to nail the clippers.

Maxis guy's work was very simple and brief. He just logged in to the router and did some configurations. After the speed test (11mbps dl, 8mbps ul), his work had completed. So he packed the test router and everyone left.

So now I'm left with TM modem, waiting until after Raya when Maxis replenishes its router stock. Hopefully we will get something better than the current Thomson...and the so called maintenance has been completed.
