TM inks HSBB 2 and SUBB agreements with Malaysian government
21 Dec 2015
Telekom Malaysia has announced the signing of two public private partnership (PPP) agreements with the Government of Malaysia for the implementation of the High Speed Broadband Project Phase 2 (HSBB 2) and the Sub-Urban Broadband Project (SUBB). Both projects will see TM roll out a last mile access network to homes and businesses utilising fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), Ethernet-to-the-home (ETTH) and VDSL2 technologies.
Outlining details of the two deals, TM noted that the ten year HSBB 2 project ‘encompasses the deployment of additional access and core capacity covering state capitals and selected major towns throughout the country’. Under the project, 95 additional exchanges will be made HSBB ready, providing access to 390,000 premises in ‘other priority economic areas including state capitals [and] selected major towns’ by 2017. The PPP agreement related to HSBB 2 meanwhile includes planning, designing, implementation, operation and maintenance of HSBB network infrastructure and services. Meanwhile, the SUBB infrastructure will also be rolled out over a period of ten years, with this project involving the upgrading of existing copper lines to deliver broadband at downlink speeds of up to 20Mbps, or up to 100Mbps in those areas where FTTH technology is utilised. In total, some 420,000 premises in ‘sub urban and rural areas’ will benefit from the SUBB project by 2019.
In terms of the financial aspects of the projects, the total cost of the HSBB 2 investment over the ten year period will reportedly be MYR1.8 billion (USD419 million), with the government contributing MYR500 million of that and TM responsible for the remainder. Total investment in the SUBB project, meanwhile, is expected to be MYR1.6 billion over ten years, with the state’s portion of that being MYR600 million and again TM covering the balance.
Commenting on the development, TM group chief executive Tan Sri Zamzamzairani Mohd. Isa, was cited as saying: ‘The HSBB 2 and SUBB are set to benefit not only the consumers, but also Malaysian businesses as we will be able to provide Malaysians with world class network infrastructure and superfast connectivity, boosting the development of ICT-related industries towards fulfilling Government’s aspiration of elevating Malaysia into a high-income nation. Rest assured that TM is fully committed in supporting the Malaysian Government in these initiatives, which will go a long way towards realising the goals defined under the National Broadband Initiatives.’

This UniFi Lite is ready for service for all UniFi area regardless of FTTH or VDSL.The only question will TM sell this package to the public or targeted customers only? Or will it only open to VDSL area under HSBB?

Then we have the Streamyx area.For those who want to enjoy UniFi Lite in Streamyx area, that area must support VDSL equipment at the main office.If the area is supported then it will fall under SUBB area.

i smell bullshit in this statement

The fixed broadband speed will again be doubled with its pricing to be slashed in half within the next two years.

At least mentioned that U are speculating or guessing, otherwise ppl will say u talk shit.

because TM is the only largest fix broadband provider, there is a possibility they might impose some conditions if the price is ever slashed, like imposing quota limit or only lower the pricing for existing subscribers etc. Do you not remember how they do it with Streamyx 1mb lite?

We need to allow more outsider broadband players to come in, then there will be price war.

Even the house/shop besides of their unifi hub still stuck to streamyx.Walk the talk TM.
Not just care mainly and especially for those newer housing area.Even those besides it within 30,50meter can't get unifi service.

dream on la bro. tell me did tm ever bring down thier streamyx price? 20mbps for RM75...make it right. i will wait 2019 to see that price...

10 years later...........
1Mbps will still be RM116.60,
must trust me, because i don't talk cock like Jibby....

From that time when TM starts their Streamyx business, RM110 for 1Mbps until now.

But 4mbps @ 2007 RM268+RM25+calls -> 4mbps @ 2017 RM130+GST (free rental, free calls to TM lines)!

Please compare it to how much they charge Unifi 30Mbps.
And how many years they keep 4mb package around RM130-RM140 pre and post gst.

TM should provide more choices to the users, just like other telecoms, Maxis, Digi, Celcom. If the user wants something cheap, quota limit applies. If they need unlimited data, they pay for premium.
A few years from now, I believe other service providers could provide the internet service as well, but if you use TM/Time FTTH/copper line, you need to pay the line rental to TM, Time (eg existing TM line rental is RM25) plus the internet service to ISP. This is the business model in some developed countries.

Be optimistic. That's govt directive as clearly mentioned in Bajet 2017 (Oct2016) and it is likely to be part of BN's manifesto for PRU14.
If you are not happy with Streamyx 1mbps @ RM110+GST, you can try Streamyx Lite @ RM38+GST, 1mbps@RM68+GST if you qualify for low income group, 1mbps@RM100+GST if contract expires. Mobile internet packages nowadays are very attractive, compared to Streamyx RM110. Or you just wait till 2019 to see if a miracle would happen.
Think positively.

Who the heck would pay for RM38 streamyx lite with 1gb quota? 1 download and the whole month cannot use already. Defeat the purpose of having internet unless you only check email few times a week.
For the low income group package, I have long ask from TM and they said the package is no more being sold, therefore forget about it.

Don't put high hope on tm. Monopoly company can never improve much because no one to compete.

dah dah... already know monopoly still subscribe to them for what? go others la.. itu pun nk gaduh... go unsubscribe TM and go take others... make TM revenue down...

maybe for ppl that still using ICQ or watching youtube with 144p potato quality
33MB usage per day, pffft... i can't even take this Clarence guy seriously anymore
