our copper infrastructure is beyond help la....demmit.

just dont waste anymore more in RnD on this sh!t vdsl vectoring

go on for full fibre......in long terms it save even more

Save cost mah.

Long run still waste a lot.

Be4 unifi....streamyx were using adsl which is copper base.
Copper means is prone to thief.

This reason alone is enough to use fiber

Fiber is cheaper than copper now

They just need to pull the fiber optic cable to the dslam. All those previous phone line from your house to their dslam is fixed, cost saved. If they need to pull the fiber optic cable for everyone in Malaysia with the population of 30 million houses or more, they may facing bankrupt because one feet of fiber optic cable costs RM10.

Yup, I know.

owh2.....

But, UK's fiber internet services use VDSL technology. And they can get 70mbps speed.

Yup. We know VDSL uses copper and fiber. VDSL-Very high bit rate digital subscriber line.

Slow technology in boleh land

This technology will be used to retain usability of current copper cables throughout Malaysia, Fibre still will be rolled out in major cities and towns. This is for last mile connectivity.

I believe this one is the old VDSL? VDSL2 Vectoring can go multiply that speed by 10 times. (theoritically)

We're consumer country, unless we're the one who invent those technology, we might able to use it first hand. In this case no, we just taking the current technology, try it in lab and release it to the consumer.

When it comes to the distance, the speed drops too. Probably VDSL Vectoring 's speed at that distance is around 80-120mbps only.

Well, I already have Unifi, I hope more people get fibre.

But who knows, as you all have pointed out, this country ain't the most... er, sensible, one.

vdsl speed is quite badly affected by noise. vdsl vectoring would help but dont expect much when tm puts 1 dslam for >6km of houses...

Fibre to the cabinet was present in countries like singapore since the early 2000s... and their copper was cat5e (seriously) for adsl....
sigh...

I wonder why they still opt for this technology when the G.fast is already started to be rolled out in other countries.

if u are live in condo maybe you can install fibre line by management
if in rural area only may use this technology VDSL2 Vectoring

I'm on later one...though still stuck with 1mbps...

You think it's so easy, bro? By just connecting the DSLAM to fibre backhaul? The network equipments for VDSL and ADSL are totally different. You have to do some equipments change at the last mile too!

Futhermore the price of the new equipment are expensive as all are imported from outside and our ringgit value is dropping.

Yes, I know. Different technology uses different equipments. Takkan lah you drive a BMW with a Toyota engine, right?
