Frustrated with my home network speed, I have been researching various broadband standard, and happens to read through this VDSL that still utilizes our existing copper wire.

VDSL standards EXPLAIN here >>>

VDSL2+ max speed up/down achievable 100MB provided that one is within, I think, 1KM from the telco switch box or DSLAM.

Will our telco ever wanted to try something new that could at least boost our hopeless network speed in today standard, where many in the region are enjoying at least 30~100MB connection   

For those of us that are not cover by UNIFI, 1MB is a pain in the ass now a days    

Anybody could suggest ways to achieve better speed without breaking the budget   

Are you on ADSL2/Streamyx?

It's actually my mother's place, where only streamyx is available 

I feel so frustrated every time i go back a stay there for a few days     

Go google for VDSL2+ and click on the image. You will see that the speed of VDSL2+ drops to the speed like ADSL2 when it reaches a point. In rural places, the cable are pulled over KMs, probably around 3KMs or 5KMs. When the cables are long, the speed will drops. So if TM changes to VDSL2+ technology, it is still the same. What for do they need to waste money on the things which makes no difderence?

Fully understood. but what i mean is that there are also some group of people, that are within the distance, that could be offer this option, especially those in a densely populated area, and are within range.

As I believe that changes and investment from the telco is not much, offering VDSL to those within reach.

I am not a specialist in this, but just here to learn from those who are in the industry

TM only uses VDSL technology for those who stays in old high rise buildings only. The reason is because VDSL is costly and it only can covers a few places. Whereas, with fiber optic cable, it can be pulled for a long distance with a full 10Gb speed without any lost of speed. Compare to VDSL, its max speed is 100mbps. 100mbps/10Gb=100customers. 100mbps/100mbps=1 customer only. Also, the ping for fiber is much more lower than the ping for VDSL users.

with G.fast  can reach 500Mbps or more .
our country is too far behind.

NO, i don't think it is a good idea.  Unless u wanna stuck with low quality line  for another decade or 2 decades. (don't u suffer enough from streamyx ? )

In  long term, the fiber optic is the ONLY and cheap way to go..
other methods just look like white elephant projects.
If they do deploy VDSL2+ widely, they  need a lot of  money to upgrade their devices, and old copper lines(which not in qualify or stolen) .  Exist streamyx  users  have to upgrade their modem (about RM300 or more).
for best case, most of the  vdsl2+ users (within 2KM)usually got only download:30Mbps and upload:5M-10Mbps .
if u r using 1Mbps now, i don't think u can reach that speed .
and （as far as we know about TM） i believe they will make the minimum price about RM200 or above like current price of  UNIFI PRO.

so, make no sense go for VDSL2+
UNIFI is your only hope, although the progress of its deployment is too slow. (they don't have any reason to speed it up, coz no matter how , they still earn money from u      )

With no competition at all, in particular of TELCO industry, where the whole world is basically network connected, at the end, everyone lost out in the competition.

Let us just look around the region like Singapore, Korea or Hong Kong, for the progress they made.

For us, everything still seems like yesterday, with the same slogan shouted, but we are just deceiving our self in many occasion.

Everything of our daily living are rising, just that our GAJI not rising   

Guys, here some updates by a source in TM:

SubB ( Sub - urban Broadband ) projects have been launched in stages , for example, to this day we have to 130K ADSL ports that have been upgraded to VDSL vectoring across the country . Deployment areas are subject to the agreement of TM and the Malaysian government . Examples of exchanges that have been successful in upgrading is Simpang Pulai ( Perak ) and Bandar Permaisuri ( Terengganu ) few others.

Theoretically, customers can enjoy the higher speed , but it is still subject to factors within the home / premise customers with exchanges / VDSL MSAN .

So , not all customers in the area can enjoy high-speed SubB evenly , some can reach up to 20M some cannot because of the distance factor.

Ok. The fees they need to use for deploy the fiber cable is already a huge cost. (Not to tell you that the ISP company uses taxpayers money to deploy for their Fiber service) Still, they can't cover the whole Malaysia. The size of Malaysia is larer than Singapore and Hong Kong. Even GB and USA, they are well develped country but their service still stuck with the coverage and speed. Money is the first factor, only when you have enough money, then only you can talk about the other factors.

At least they can make the most of the copper "last mile" around the world until more fibre is laid.

agreed.. seems like TM late to upgrade.. nowdays wireless infra are on peak upgrading..from 2g < 3g <LTE upgrade timeline seems much faster and cover wider coverage... dint TM see this all along ?? (side from they acquired P1 which are now WEBE)

ya,agree, it is not fair  that comparing SG with whole Malaysia.
but how about  SG vs KL ? 

IMHO, it might not a simply  budget issue.
After all,  any single ringgit they invested, will be taken back from the users , soon or later. 
With our TM highly overprice  packages, the harvest moon will come even sooner. (our 1 year , 2 years contract with them already ensuring their stable income)

so, maybe their goal is simply reaching their financial target , rather than  building an Intelligent Nation.
or maybe they just simply no need to hurry.
coz, no matter how, u still need  their product to connect to www . u can hide, but u cannot run away.
