u all modem vdsl2 or fiber btu?
mine modem vdsl2.

7. Installation fee includes external cable entrance up to the internal wiring with maximum of 15 metres for fiber cable, 15 meters for Ethernet/phone cables and 30 metres for casing (raceway).

Am I one of the few (or perhaps the ONLY one) where our lazy TM contractors did not enclose our cables in "raceway" casing? Or are all seasoned contractors skimping on this step? Additionally, instead of using screw holes for both the fiber termination box and fiber wall socket they just nailed it right at the center to the wall, fast and convenient.

On a side note, the fiber cable does look less prominent without a larger enclosure, but the installers never offered to use those casing.

Any picture to show us?

"Raceway" casing:


Mine without casing:


Fiber wall socket nailed to the wall.

They used those nails meant for securing the fiber to the wall for convenience. At least this one I can still pull out with pliers if the need to relocate it arises. As for the fiber termination box, they used a solid nail right down to the head. I would have to destroy that box in order to get the nail out.

In addition, those TM contractors asked for RM170 cash up-front for the installation because, the reason as given by said contractors, installing the fiber at the top floor of a double-story house is considered "over the ceiling" and incur additional charges. I gave them RM150 instead.

Any one have similar experiences? How much did you pay them?

last year i install pay 300 ringgit for over the ceiling install(worth because at the furthest back room) and lan cable to upstairs living room for hypptv
you think la whether worth it or not.

You are not the only one. Feedback from my customers, 99% of FREE Installation Customers including me, contractor will not put "raceway". If contractor recommended installation with charges, they will put "raceway".

furthest back room? So your fiber distribution box is located at the front? I pulled a lan cable down to the living room downstairs.

2014 budget - HSBB starts at 10Mbps

2014 budget - HSBB starts at 10Mbps

didn't have detail. just mention speed will be increased to 10mbps. maybe price will be increased too.

Thanks for the reply. Meaning once I apply the package I can have 5 phone number to use?
Do I need extra device for this to work and pay extra monthly charges? 

Where can I find more information? Thanks a lot.

you want extra phone line is it?

for biz package i think you can get up to 6 lines for RM25 per line per month (cheaper than normal fix line which is RM48 for business)

for vip i think 2 lines only, don't know how much per month. logically, should be less than RM25.

to get the extra line, just call CS. but, it will better to go to TM point and talk with them if you want to choose nice number. over the phone, they will just read available numbers to you, which is kind of hard. you might take the whole hour just to decide which number to accept. and the phone call is not free.

they will provide you with all the equipment, but since the BTU already have one RJ11, if you just add 1 line they will just bring 1 normal phone. not wireless phone. but in my case, the phone was spoilt, and they have only wireless phone in their van. so we got wireless phone. which we didn't use btw because that line is for fax.

opendns has dnscrypt feature for protection last mile.

unifi dns they block access to certain websites .......

but if use thirdparty dns like opendns or googledns, you get some latency, and probably slower download speed. Not to mention when you use third party dns, your bandwidth quota MAY be used up quicker, because unifi dns uses because it may interfere in your pc connecting to the closest akamai servers. You can read more about that here.
So me personally, i leave default unifi dns normally. But when i want to circumvent the website restrictions, i use opendns with cryptdns enabled.

The best router to work for Unifi is Linksys E4200 V1 with a third party tomato variant firmware installed e.g. Victek's RAF, Toastman, Shibby..... because they have

1. VLAN management, which you need to get it to work for Unifi
2. Has very good bandwidth monitoring. I use CIFS to store my bandwidth logs,
3. for shibby and victek's RAF they have dnscrypt for opendns if you need that extra protection.
4. there is VPN functionality, which is best used on the router rather than on your pc. Although not everyone wants to pay for VPN service, at least the feature is there if you need it.
5. tons of improvements over stock firmware which usually remains stagnant in development, so not much incentive to improve, when they can just sell you the newer model instead 

Anyway got newer routers available, so as long as it's broadcom cpu based, and is supported by the top 3 tomato variants, and it checks out in the performance department over at smallnetbuilder, then that should be fine.

Both at the back of the house.
Fiber from electric pole--------->follow three phase wiring------------>drill a small hole infront of house----------->to the back of the house--------->fiber distribution box----------->masuk ke dalam rumah with one more small hole----------->Btu------------->router
Furthest back room means the room behind on the second floor where I have the computer room. lol.
