Anyone know when Ipoh city centre UniFi expansion coming?
No news heard yet or any sign of works.

Main exchanges such as Ipoh Central town district, Pasir Putih/Pinji & Gunung Rapat when getting HSBB enabled?

TM already abandon this city?

Why Ipoh city centre(30030) not covered until today including Pasir Putih(31650) and Gunung Rapat(31350) ?

I'm talking about the area surrounding UTC Perak, Old Town, Jln. Pasir Putih and until Station 18?

Where is Perak ICT Planning Dept?

Ya loh correct. Even the area under Tasek exchange where UniFi is enabled cannot cover its whole area 100%.

Tambun area UniFi mostly only cover Sunway township and development only.
Bercham there almost up to Tanjung Rambutan and Taman Putera all low cost housing also they cover why prime areas they don't want.

Meanwhile Ipoh city area including Greentown, Old Town, UTC Perak surrounding central, Jln. Pasir Putih and Airport Road no UniFi fibre signs at all. These are Ipoh's most busy areas for business.

Ipoh Parade, Station 18, Jln. Gopeng(Jln. Raja Nazrin Shah), Jln. Pasir Putih, Jln. Yang Kalsom, Greentown are all potential business opportunity. No competition at all.

Ipoh here we have little reported case of stolen copper especially city area. But copper infrastructure very old and believed to exist since colonial times.

Housing area in Pasir Putih (31650) here mostly on copper direct to exchange but very long length so 4mbps also too unstable to subscribe. I got apply 4mbps but TM staff say he won't recommend because too low SNR and high attenuation. Opening up 5120kbps is out of question because line will disconnect often.

I hope the TM people hear and note my petition here. It's not I dun want to support their service. There is no choice at all. It's the cheapest and have the best connectivity.

Blue pipes are for water works dept.

TNB ducts are orange in colour.

TM fibre cables are black in colour, thinner than regular ones with yellow lining.

TM Contractor dare not even promise it'll have in 5 years time. Answer given was long time moar..

So forget it. Even the city business centre and old town another 5 years only has chance of seeing it, suburbs like Gunung Rapat, Pasir Putih and Menglembu...

The aim for HSBB2 for general population in urban areas is just 10mbps as mentioned in The Star.

That is when the project completes in 5 years time by 2019.

We'll be trailing others again by 2019/2020 with such speeds.

With TMnet known history of doing things, prices hasn't dropped since Streamyx was launched over 10 years ago.

That time RM66 for 384kbps.

In fatc it even got more expensive today and speeds have not been upgraded for almost a decade.

1mbps for RM110?

Thailand charged around RM60:

2011: 4mbps
2012: 6mbps
2013: 10mbps
2014: 13mbps

Singapore charged somewhere around RM150

2012: 50mbps
2013: 200mbps
2014: 1000mbps

Almost every year or 6 months upgrading packages speed at no additional charges.

Streamyx and UniFi?

Contract over straight away offer upgrade package speed and increase your monthly payment. Also renew your 24 months contract.

From TM own staff, you might not even see it in the next 3 years.

UniFi expansion in Perak next move is Taiping and Teluk Intan.

Taiping old long switches now slowly getting replaced with MSAN cabinets especially the new lakeside housing areas and those closeby the new AEON Taiping.

If you want UniFi desperately, I suggest you move away from Ipoh. This town is quite dead nowadays.
The least you can do is look at Bercham or Ipoh Garden areas where there is still some economic activities and UniFi coverage.

Parit Buntar? I saw got TM Go 4G LTE coverage there available at their official site.

Govt claims that cable theft is rampant so its preventing TM from investing more in the state. But this is pure BS.

Why?

My place which is directly in a city for past 50 years NOT a single cable theft event ever occured.

If got all my neighbours will come out with rotan and sledgehammers to whack the hell out of the culprit.

Yet, no sign of any infra upgrade till now.

So yeah, you said cable thefts are rampant, then why you're not upgrading those areas with ZERO cable thefts reported cases on the other hand? What has cable theft prone areas got to do with safe green zones that are within the city? Fine, if that area has frequent cable theft incidents then avoid there la. Come to safe areas la.

I live in a state capital city and the copper infra at my place had never experience any downtime due to theft works from day 1 till today.
Been waiting for HSBB to service my house for over 5 years since 2008.

Not a single case was reported or heard about cable theft. But the government kept bringing up about cable theft issues rampant in the state which I am not convinced enough about their sincerity.

Where are the "exact areas which they keep mentioning that cable theft is serious? Why do they keep insisting that those areas is affecting the expansion of other safe areas within the city? Are they really SINCERE about their words or it's just an excuse for their incompetence?

TM Loses MYR 4.2 mln over Cable theft in Pahang - Telecompaper
http://www.telecompaper.com/news/tm-loses-...pahang--1041953

These are just very recent news brought up the last few days ago and tomorrow is the Budget announcement day.

Before I go on (touchwood*), and after this start too see cable theft cases appear in my area, we can never rule out that these sort of crimes can sometimes be organized crime by some parties for a coverup excuse. You can never deny these games that "Corporations" can devise to put the blame on the public for it. An example is Verizon in USA. For finding an excuse to force their consumers for higher profiting expensive quota based wireless 4G LTE, they shut down their legacy landlines that provide fixed line internet access in stages but "NEVER" replace them with fibre. Leaving consumers optionless for fixed broadband but forcing them to subscribe to their quota based 4G LTE which charges a bomb for 10Gb or 20Gb monthly access.

If some specific areas are prone to cable thefts, identify them accordingly and stop feeding those thieves by setting them up with traps.
As for the safe zones, why should we be suffering from expensive and slow speeds just because some unrelated places are dragging us into this despair situation?

If they get expensive expensive quota wireless service, should we eat the same fate as them by punishing the entire state for it?
By such move, we can always expect a "culprit" to play sabotage and organize cable theft works to TERRORIZE the entire state so everyone gets the expensive deal. What a stupid excuse is that?
