I suggest, if you can make friends with your neighbours. Ask them to sign petition to request for unifi.( get about 50 signature in your jalan/tmn/kampung.

Submit to http://complaint.cfm.org.my/

And cc to TM.

Wait for magic to happen. *** could be another 1 year to 2 year wait.


Quite frequently, lots of area, the kampung/tmn appears to be very small as each street is their own kampung and taman. Then TM will not install fibre cable thinking small population. But if you can prove that there is demand, chance is quite good.

how much to upgrade fiber optic in high rise building ??

Quite high cost, some new high rise building comes preinstalled with fibre from the developer. Then on each floor there is fibre patch panel for the units on that floor.

The new streamyx package which will launched next year will be using VDSL vectoring technology. Not all places are supported. Only current streamyx users in supported places will be offered with the new Streamyx package next year.

That's some good news but is there anyway we can know which areas are supported? I'm stucked with 8Mbps currently without UniFi coverage and I'm seriously need higher speeds.

TM is developing a webpage where streamyx users can check whether they are eligible to apply for the new streamyx package. The webpage will be up next year.

does it still require fibre?

I think no, cause it should be using VDSL2 vectoring which is discussed in this thread.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully, my place is covered on the new plan. Else I am still stuck at VERY VERY SLOW upload...

So I'll have to use a new kind of modem to support VDSL eh?

Will use the existing copper line. Fibre will terminate at the cabinet on the road street and from cabinet to customer premise use copper line.

TM will provide VDSL2 modem during installation.

as i tried to understand from internet, Unifi also use VDSL. then i wonder why there are so many place still not in coverage since fibre termination just at cabinet and not hook up long fibre at road.... what is actually ISP problem in large scale coverage?

Broadband Termination Unit (BTU)
BTU is a terminating unit from the Access Network (TM Exchange) into a customer's premise. This unit functions like a modem and translates the pulses of light that carry data over the fibre optic cables into electrical signals.

There are two types of BTU which will be used depending on customer premise. If a customer premise is a landed property, the FTTH BTU will be used and if a customer premise is a high rise building, the VDSL2 BTU will be used. A BTU's back panel can support both internet and telephony services.

Will there any speed upgrade for uploading?

ermm based on the package nothing upgraded

vdsl user no free upgrade 2017 only fibre user can get free upgrade
