So basically fiberoptic network is cheaper to maintain and deploy.

Cause

Streamyx 8mbps rm160

Unifi 10mbps rm129

If that case possible for everyone internet reduce 50% as fiber become the norm.

If cable stealing can result in rm30~50 difference in price. I imagine copper cable is freakishly expensive.

My jalan got copper cable got stolen before. The thief choose the thickest cable to cut, closest to the start of jalan.

Same problem with electrical cable between lamp post. Very menacing for drugs addicts to cause to our society.


Plus another reason I reckon is, lightning strike. Copper must be causing lots of damage at exchanges and home modems....Ect.

Hold.

My taman consider ok place in jb. Got lots of doctors staying in the taman. But guess what up till 1 year ago no Unifi.

2 years ago I got my ass off my chair and walked the whole taman for 3 days, in the mid of the great indonesia smog. To get close to 70 % of the neighbourhood to support my petition to request for Unifi. All the while with nay sayer who said, yeah " I know who can do and who cannot do" "I already have unifi dont bother me" "ptui, fak off or I get my dog bite you"

Yeah, and after that got people dare to say they help the jiran get unifi.... as if. But I must say I also meet good people who also help to get signatures, who also had multiple families and property to sign.

After submitting to tm, via 2 -3 routes. After half year I got some news. Then 1 year later I got my unifi.

Mind you, I was in the same situation lots of you had, which is all the taman beside us have unifi.


The thing you need to know, some taman, the small place is actually called 2-3 different taman. hence tm think small area not enough people, dont serve.

You will know when you start speaking with your neighbour what is their address.
