Hopefully within next 2 years, as part of the Broadband Initiative under Bajet 2017 (double the speed at half the price)

Sorry, another case of Sarawakians getting a raw deal on broadband.

My home town, Sarikei with a population of about 65,000, still only has streamyx. My brother tried to get Unifi, tak ada. Tried to upgrade from 1 Mbps to 4 Mbps, told to wait at home while TM did their part at the TM center, only to be told they did not have any spare 4 Mbps port!

Hope someone in TM or Sarawak govt staff is reading this. Progress is not as rosy on Unifi front as what the newspapers are reporting and govt's target to have 1 Gbps in the coming years.

My free upgrade from 30 to 50 Mbps was supposed to be in Feb, later changed to Jun and now still nothing.

Wish we have other broadband providers in my town!

Please refer to Pg12.

TM (partly funded by Federal Government) can afford to provide fibre to the street cabinet (FTTC) only due to cost and return (market demand).
Though Sacofa may use State Government's fund (RM1bil) to build a better network, but I don't know if a new Internet Service Provider (other than TM) will provide alternative last mile service to mass market, maybe Sacofa itself (currently they provide service to Government and big corp only), Celcom (15% shareholding in Sacofa), just wait and see how it goes.

Thanks. You are really up to date on this.

TM a good company to invest in looking at its management, earnings, growth? Ha.

Well bro, it is not limited to east Malaysia. My hometown Batu Pahat is also gotten tied up with single provider and the real world progress is massively slower than what is reported outside, be it its own investor report or the public media.

Why is it so hard to open up the competition if it is so hard for the incumbent to fulfill the demand?

Sorry to hear that your town is also left in the stone age.

Yes, no govt can develop the whole country at an even pace, but some areas are really being left behind till they have nothing left to do (which will be never).

Ha.
