All 4Mbps package will be connected through a IP DSLAM which supports ADSL2+ and these IPDSLAMs are all connected through the advertised METRO-e network which is suppose to be faster than our normal ATM network which most of the normal DSLAMS are connected to. What I'm saying is the bandwidth is much higher as the METRO-e network is up to 1Gbps compared to the normal ATM speed which is up to 155Mbps. So let's see if the 4Mbps package is really faster and smoother than our normal package.

I can assure you the technician is just crapping, it isn't based on VDSL... it's running on ADSL2+ and the modem that TM will be providing for the 4Mbps package is the Billion BiPAC 5112s.

I manage to do a Speedometer test on a 4.0Mbps account.. the line is capped at 7.0Mbps Download and 512Kbps Upload.. didn't manage to try BT though..

Let me clear the air for you guys... RM198 is for customers who subscribe before 17th June and you will be paying RM198 for life until you terminate the service..

Those who apply after 17th June will be paying RM268 until you terminate the service.


The 4.0M line that I tested doesn't belong to me by the way.. it's a friend's one.. and his line is connected to a remote DSLAM, that's why he could get 7.0M speed for his line..

It seems like for the 4.0M accounts, TM Net does not put a limit on the speed, so whatever speed your line is connected at, you can get that speed.. but for how long this is going to last, no one knows for sure.

Well, one thing different is that our normal package is connecting through their ATM network which has a bandwidth of 155Mbps where else for the 4.0Mbps package, it is connected to the Metro E network which has a bandwidth of up to 1Gbps.. so there is a difference.. could that be the reason why they're able to give full speed there ?

Hi Priss,

I'm not here to force people to upgrade or apply for the 4.0Mbps package just for your information. I'm just offering a service for people who would love to get it or try it out without the hassle of long queue in TMpoint.

What ever posting I'm typing here is purely results I get from testing the line myself and not just to get people into applying for it. I'm here to share what I know about this new package.

So hope you can keep those unneccesary comments to yourself. Thank you.

It won't make a difference since your line is capped at 1024kbps downstream and also the DSLAM is connected to the ATM network and not the Metro.E 1Gbps network.


Priss,

Let's not argue here ok. The important thing is they do not need to pay me anything at all and only those who is interested can PM me for details. They do not need to trust whatever I said from my tests. There are other forum members here who will get it eventually and give results from their test as well. You have not personally tried it and you're already giving all the negative comments. You call that valid ?

By the way, it's a 12 month minimum subscription period.

They're using the Billion BiPAC 5112S ADSL2/2+ modem for this package.

Sure you can use back your own modem, as long as it supports ADSL2+ modulation standard.

The requirements to get 4Mbps line is that your house must be within 3km from TM exchange. The readings on your modem must have SNR Margin more than 15db and Attenuation less than 40db, if not the contractor is not suppose to install the 4mbps package.

What I mean is that your modem needs to have the minimum requirements I mentioned above when the Data Rate has been set to Downstream 4096kbps and Upstream 512kbps.

alexander3133, no fixed IP range for 4.0Mbps package.. depends on the DSLAM and what IP is set to it..
