It's all about line of sight. It all depends on whether you're willing to try.

By contacting TM and tell them about this, they tell you they will "register interest" for you, will notify you once Unifi is available in your area, but you'll never know they'll just put your case aside and take it as if nothing happens once you hang up the phone. Malaysian customer services are like that one. File a complaint to MCMC, and they shall take your case more seriously.

After file a complaint, at least there's a record there. Although it may not get solved as soon as you expect, but at least there is someone you can trust to expedite your case.

I've yet to see this in malaysia: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/broa...nd-network.html

Its not that TM cannot lay fiber, the problem are costs and local council making it super expensive and slow. There was a TED talk with representative from one of the local telcos explaining the problem with internet in Malaysia, his points were simple:

-Lack of competition
- local councils charge a lot to lay cable and are very demanding (work ends up taking too long and costing too much too)
- international bandwidth

If the locals band together as shown in the link, it will be very easy for fiber optics to spread. If the ISP and cables were separated like in japan, that would help too.

Not sure if this is the talk you are referring to. Nevertheless t's a good watch.


Bear in mind that this is from 2010.

yup, this is the video. It may be from 2010 but is still relevant today. There may more choices of ISPs but the whole process of laying cable and expending is difficult for an ISP, that is why TIME only does tall buildings mainly as many condos already do their own fiber optic wiring so ISP only has to connect building to the street which makes it easy and cheap for ISP to provide a connection. The process itself just to get cable onto the street, or a backbone through an existing infrastructure can be costly and difficult because of the red tape like the local councils and any other organisation involved.

Hi, josdhhd! As noted in Post 15 in this very same thread.. this whole thread and its core subject is dedicated to the chronology of events that you've proposed.

Just wanna give anyone who's following on this case an update, after what seemed like forever going back and forth, looking for TM representatives and making sure I got heard through 2 way communications with MCMC & TM, I finally received notification on the 24th September 2018 that I'll be getting coverage in my area! From collecting petitions, calling up and sending e-mails I'm glad that this has finally come to an end. 2 years of discussion and this small ulu taman of mine is finally getting high speed optic fibre coverage! Cheers everyone!

Just create a MCMC report, when TM close your report directly, you have to stay reopen the report. Just don't keep it closed.

Aww.... the cost for one house is already more than RM 10000, the cost for all of the houses are too expensive. Maybe you can ask TM to cover your area and force them on CFM forum. If you cant wait for years, then you have to pay them the cost to install fiber optic cable.

yes. can pay TM rm20k to lay infra for one street.
