meaning fiber coming to our area?

but my 4mbps is since 2009, and the status have a "F" sign.. 2009 got fiber ad meh? or just some bull crap hahaha

this i can confrim

last time before i always walk past the an empty slot, One day TM come and install a DSLAM server at that empty area. So every day otw to class i see what they do. Once i saw they take a fiber cable and connect to the servers install inside.

How to know it fiber? Well there a special techniques used to connect fiber cable and a special equipments, one small box and there two cable end will be put together into the machine. Viola, the cable is join. Plus the distinctive bright yellow cable normally associate with fiber cable

not really, the modulation just effect what the max speed your line can obtain

ADSL2+ Max around 25Mbps
G.DMT Max around 15Mbps

This can be seen on the Max Rate on your modem stat.

Tourist going to subscript to unifi? Rich area must got unifi?
I have asked a few manager that come to my house why there no unifi (Not your normal technician, but TM managers with badges that come my house after i complain kau kau why 8mbps not available in my place )

Have your place been installed a new DSLAM server in the past 5 years? If yes, then TM chances will not come put unifi there. Their update policy is if there a new dslam, no need unifi coz the new DSLAM one can support up to 8mbps speed. Putting a brand new fiber infrastructure is not profitable.

Next if your condo/apartment is new, then chances unifi also tak ada. Because it up to the building contractor to install the fiber network on the building according to TM design. TM will oversea the plan but the installation work is done by the apartment's contractor. Like electricity, all wiring ready, then TNB just come install meter. It saves cost instead of TM have to do everything.

Next then potential customer. Here a what they say "Compare an area got high demand but potential network congestion like students or rich ppl area (download, torrent 24/7), then another area with moderate demand but less network congestion. We will go for the later because;
1st) there sufficient demand to be profitable

2nd) More ppl can subscript in future as network are not as congested

3rd) we dont have to increase bandwidth over time because there less bandwidth hogger" (Minus rural area, coz where got kampung ppl need such high speed?)

A cake shared by 10 which pay RM20 each or A same size cake shared by 100 each but paying cheaper RM10/pax. RM200 vs RM1000, which is better?

They analyses based on streamyx subscription and see how the network there. If streamyx hog, unifi will not come

Government office already have their own fiber network. U think only TM got fiber? There are also enterprise fiber provider or isp that provide fiber network for big organization. They carter specifically for big company or organization but they dont do advertizing. Any fiber installation is based on tender process, so a few companies including TM will bid but all behind close door.

So in the end, TM is still a company that want to earn as much profit while spending as little as possible like any other company. Just because you are rich, not necessary TM must serve you. Who are you? Your are rich but we dont want serve you what can you do? Lost you one subscriber but gain a hundred more in future. Now days companies no longer practice "customer is always right" especially by company that willing to lost a little but earn better in the future (More subscriber)

Streamyx throttle .flv file

try changing to 480p or 720p which is in .mp4 file. You can see the speed different
It been going on for a long time already

normal upload speed for streamyx

dont expect it t be higher than 0.4mbps since u are capped at 512kbps upload even for 4mbps

but 4mbps u getting full speed so it should be good

that plan is long gone

Plus, after 2 years TM revert back to BB package mean it not cheap forever

tat plan is gone. 4mbps at rm88 if i not mistaken. After 2 years, TM put it back to under streamyx combo which was rm160

Just get the 8mbps package. Quite good actually but then again the price is a little high

The answer is most likely NO.. TM is especially strict on this. First depend on your place can support 4mbps, second if your sis is still under contract? If yes, most likely no transfer is allowed until contract term is over

You have to cancel your current plan and resubscribe to the new plan. Seriously, this is how TM does plan transfer, you can call TM and ask if this is true

here the catch.. after u cancel/terminate your current plan and resubscribe your new plan there a waiting period of 2 weeks iinm
For that 2 week, u are basically left without internet and phone, then you reapply new plan or transfer process

That is why ppl just go for upgrade method rather than cancel and resubscribe. Upgrade method, no cut line

I guessing this your first time dealing with TM

This is what happen when i tried to transfer my line from melaka to KL. In end, i just go for upgrade path to save me the trouble but this is like 5 years ago. Maybe it different now but i cant be sure

good luck

i took me almost 2 month of constant complain and email
before they agree

i even change my house copper line

did that

they come check, say it ok. Then close report

i was when i finally contact a contractor and he willing to escalate the complain and change my line
