I have just chatted with my friend from TM and he revealed that TM is now testing a new technology called VDSL2 Vectoring. With this new technology, existing copper cables throughout nationwide will be capable to reach 100 Mbps. This new technology has already taken place in Europe and US.

VDSL2 Vectoring is noise-canceling technology. It cuts out all of the noise, or interference, among the VDSL2 lines in a bundle. With no interference, every VDSL2 line can operate at peak speeds, as if it were the only line in the bundle.

So we are looking at new Streamyx plans with 30, 50 or even 100Mbps!

No amount of VDSL2 tech can win against our aging copperline infrastructure.

when this technology will be implant ? 2-3 years more

similar to G.Fast,some Israelis succeed to get 750Mbps over copper using G.Fast.

the challenge is how to tackle brownfield areas compared to greenfields which are easier.

The technology has been available for sometime. Like most say the problem is signal attenuation (due to degradation and distance). Also there is high cost involved in upgrading existing DSL equipment. Not to mention the further you are away from the exchange, the weaker your signal gets because it depends on active equipment. You might get better download speeds but upload speeds are still going to be pretty low.

It is a pretty good idea if TM is willing to invest in the new equipments involved.

good news la.. also along the road i drove.. i always see tm tech doing works dunno upgrade the copperline or fix issue..hope in 10 years time my kg can rach 10mb..

so unifi high rise will get this features

Yes only high rise building. But still remember it is copper not fiber. Speed may be different with Fiber internet.

the key question is how much million tm going to bill u for the plan

yea, i dun think tm gonna upgrade those kampung taman area... my town is not big but high population yet tm not going to implement fiber here...

Agree, our kampung maybe remain capped at 1mbps until 2050 (or when i'm 100 years old)...

C.C: TM staff

I've been constantly requesting them to upgrade my area every month, since 4 years ago. Failed.

Maybe they need some "donation" to deploy it faster.

They will be at the losing end if they dont upgrade. At my hometown connection is 1Mbps max. Only those around town area can get 4Mbps. You can hardly see people using streamyx anymore. People are cancelling their accounts everyday. Not when they are charging RM110. And my hometown is covered with 4G by all major telcos.

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.

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.

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

Yes i can confirm TM already start this VDSL or what they call it

From what the contractor told me can get speed up to 30mbps for rural area,they now upgrading box in my area,some more they say its combination of fiber and copper,from outsife to tm box is fiber,while box to house using copper

My area is kuala langat

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