It's quite a convenience if you want to have a fixed line. For a mere additional RM10, you get to have unlimited calls to fixed line and local mobile numbers.

Even TM can't beat that, their more expensive higher range plans such as 100M and 300M only bundle 600 minutes of talktime with their plans.
I guess they don't want an overlap of coverage with areas already served by TM's HSBB unless there's very high demand or new green field development that requires new infra buildout.

Once TNB wholesale open network builds up and get more popular than TM's HSBB itself, TNB might probably buy up TM's assets which is failing instead.That way they could expand much faster than to build an entire new network that overlaps the existing coverage.

TNB's financial book is actually healthier than TM's.Electricity is much more of an essential than broadband and their open network wholesale model is actually more promising to other players.

Why not just keep vr500v and turn off the wifi and use Ubiquiti Unifi AP.
Do you know how to setup if have new router? I can't find any tutorial about how to setup the Celcom Fibre, unlike TM Unifi full of tutorial on the web.
