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 )

modified@2016.07.01 : rename VDSL2+ to VDSL2. misled by TS ,so sorry about that.

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

if this occur a few years back, it indeed a good news.
but it is gonna outdated now .
not to mention that , it still a plan that yet to be launched , and will take 10 years to bring the last 2km to nationalwide users.

pls don't dream up for that, unless your area is already been pre-defined as UNIFI area in their "dictionary".

-------
i do believe they will upgrade adsl to vdsl in steps by steps way , by starting from the area which already offer 4Mbps and 8Mbps.
so, for 1Mbps users like Casey (ex-topic starter, b4 admin combined 2 similar topics) ,
it cound be a very very long and painful time to wait ,might take 5 years or more .
Unless TM gonna deploy it in reverse process (which is very insane way ,even to me).
They will be always be the one who pay more but get less..

Current price for Streamyx 1Mbps still at price RM110(no including GST yet).
if sb lucky enough, got some discount, still need to pay about RM70 for 1Mbps broadband.
In the same time , it is only take RM7 per Mbps for an UNIFI 30Mbps user !!
non offer Price for UNIFI ADVANCED 30Mbps(with HyppTV Aneka or Varnam or Ruby Pack) is RM199 .

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.

no, they don't provide UNIFI 50Mbps package for high rise building with copper.
u can do nothing about it.
btw, u and your neighbours may try to talk to your building management office to upgrade the infra of the building from copper to fiber optic.

I think it would be another white elephant project,if we really wannna deplay it nationalwidely....slow speed(if comparing to others countries) and expensive..
i mean the vectoring.
From our experience with ADSL (so called Streamyx thing)..
just my 2 cents.

yes,but their ADSL deployment is alotx better than ours since last decade, so it is make sense for them to invest some money to let the old DSL dinasours to spin a little more longer.
