Yo, I had collected 10 signature so far for my housing area. I will forward this signed petition for Unifi next week during my day off. My mama know the TMPOINT branch manager on personal basis, so that should be easy to forward my case to her and the petition. The question will be how much would they layan petition, do TM people take this group interest seriously or just masuk shredder one? I seen some poster did something similar then Unifi enter his housing area months later. My area still streamyx. Another 500m some housing area have UNIFI. Kinda ridiculous 2018, they can’t dedicate a website to take on people survey. 😤😤. Wasting time kejar non available neighbour and got kejar by anjing.

Admire your dedication and hope they take notice of you.

If their SOP answer is “Suruh you jiran sign demand banyak banyak nanti TM pasang”, there is only one way to find out. And surely there some truth to it. My dedication in this is actually based on my bantuan usahawan bumiputra I just got granted. I kinda rely on internet with high upload speed and low latency to set up my egrocery shop. Streamyx kinda frustrating to use when I upload stuff to web hosting or wordpress content upload.

Can’t blame you for that, the difference between Streamyx and Unifi is night and day. Good luck with your business, bro.

Yes TM should realise the importance of 'Upload speed' for uploading contents for home business and entrepeneur. Streamyx 512kbps upload speed for all streamyx package will slow down the productivity and sometimes just error and causing more trouble because the upload speed too slow , stuck and disconnected uploading Gigabytes of data files.

Really they just damaging Malaysian economy indirectly by their monopoly. Hope minister realize this.

10 signature is way too little. one area needs minimum 80% of request from household before TM will really come to install the infra for free. else one street requires rm20k++ to install the infra if one wants to request them to come.

Perhaps this is a mission impossible for just 10 signatures. My dad even did go to find the chairman for help. Hope the management can help us and go to TM to request for Unifi coverage but in the end, we still ended up with no Unifi coverage at my residence area.

what monopoly? why dont you ask Maxis or TIME to provide service there...? what's stopping other providers to give their service at your area..?

New update,
Now I got 23 signatures, my mailbox got lots of signed petition. I think I gave out 70 flyer petition on neighbour mailbox. 10 people sign head on. And that included 3 business premises as our housing place got commercial lots. 28% turnout. Probably I gonna give till this end of month to get more people on this rally.

well landed cables and equipment all owned by TM. Tell me how many Maxis and TIME own landed infrastructure for Fiber in PERAK. I thought people already know this. That's why they want change. They make petition etc.

Digi infinite 150 with huawei b618?

again, what's stopping Maxis or TIME to build their own cable to that location...?

the answer is simple, your area is not profitable to them.

Dude... I plan to do it too... lol..

in Seremban, Lobak... TM is like picked all the riched area to expand with UNIFI, just left few area alone and i'm one among. even the hillside taman next to me receive already.

some might says we're wasting time. But this what we really can do for our future.. those who already in 30/50/100mbps up and down just can't imagine how miserable of our life with streamyx 512kbps up down....

i still can tahan when i was living in my hostel where UNIFI is available before, when i came back my home. just my sister playing a youtube, entire house users will get gg. Same goes for my google drive sync... i remember 1gb of stuff take almost 2 days and the circle still turning like hell... lol

don't even mention the thunderstorm raining time....

just hope it really work for you, and also the one i plan to conduct will go fine as well.

God bless.

A few tips from me, make a nice looking flyer one page dedicated to your contact, google form and mailbox address. Explain about your petition in your area. Another page is to fill in their detail, name, NRIC, address, speed interested, and signature. Depend on some manager, in my case, she said, given NRIC is a form of consent that replace signature on google form.

The most important for me was explaining the reason for UNIFI petition. Like CCTV, content streaming, smart home etc. Dedicate another flyer for that, clip it together. Make the explanation like infographic, I got my gf did it and thanks to cause she is graphic designer. It really helps to explain to that 50yrs middle age man the difference between streamyx, wireless broadband and unifi. The old man was sceptical at first since he already subscribed mobile data. In this case I told him UNIFI is no quota. He was unconvinced 😤😤. But later I found his petition in my mailbox, probably signed by his children. You be amazed some said they happy with 1mbps. 🤬🤬. Usually people older than 40 won’t layan you or renter who lives there won’t layan one. Your best bet leave it at their mailbox.

Im sure if MYREPUBLIC can go in Malaysia and can get last mile end connection, they will not hesitate to lay fiber in your so called NON PROFITABLE area. Dude, just cut it. TM is being unfair and too greedy despite got funding from the Malaysian GOV TO LAY FIBER. Suppose to support all Malaysia for better fiber nation!.For god sake.

This post has been edited by noriabe: Aug 18 2018, 09:31 AM

are u kidding, TM asking GOV for fund to LAY FIBER CABLE?
Check who are main sponsor for seagames? football? u dont even know, how much gov hutang tm for the VPN/gov network? go ask ur friend who work in TM

Yeah... indeed!!!! Especially when you are talking with old age people...
I can foresee the challenges I going to face lady from your word dude...
Perhaps I need to corporate with those Politicians aldy... LOL
To simple my jobs when doing explanation...

Don't know the truth and can't handle the truth. Think that funding is enough to lay cable to reach every single home in Malaysia?

Where's other Telcos support for your better fiber nation?

No they dont, truth is, it only matters after they lay a backbone.
Lets say you're in a streamyx area, you have 30 would be subscribers to unifi who are current streamyx users, but there is no backbone/fiber equipment to the area required for unifi. Verdict: TM will not care.

If your area just got a backbone/fiber equipment for unifi, but from the exchange to your housing area is not wired yet but you have 30 people interested, TM will wire in about 3-9 months.

So in conclusion it doesnt do a thing. Unless however there is great demand in the greater area TM will not expand unifi and the reasons are 2 fold. First is TM's own internal politics play, they dont care about their customers only their image, 2nd is the local councils delaying TM, either with their crazy chargers/requirements or something else that both parties not satisfied with.

Being a current TM customer is far worse than being a new TM customer, its how they keep you in contract. You gotta stop, then go get it again just to get the best offers. Astro/maxis is even worse in this regard though.

I did it before and it worked for me. enuff said.

thats because in your area there was a backbone to it with a cabinet of the right equipment for them to deploy unifi to your area. So it only speeds up their deployment if they have the infrastructure to support it to your area, otherwise it wont come unless there is great demand in your greater area. They dont bother with expected future demands.


To be clear, its our duty to annoy TM to improve their infra and provide upgrades to existing and new customers. Their inconsistency in pricing and use of old equipment is very very low of TM. For instance many streamyx users are actually on ADSL 1 while some are on ADSL 2+, whereas in australia 10 years ago they were all on ADSL 2+ and were kept on it because their government were too dumb to realise the need for better internet.

Uploads determine how good our internet is, not downloads. DSL and cable was a very asymmetrical technology because that cabinet would consume a lot of power whereas your modem only consumed a few watts, hence the asymmetrical nature. Now we are not limited by technology and TM is following the same path as a lot of bad ISPs. Even american ISPs have learnt their lesson because of google and are spreading out full symmetrical gigabit fiber optics but like malaysia it is not done in a fair manner, and by that i mean those that dont have the infra in their area deal with super expansive slow internet. They also realised this problem in the US so made all sorts of links needed to improve the bandwidth to these areas, either by a massive powerline or wireless (both the wifi we use and also LTE).

TM's problem is that once you subscribe to them, you will be less likely to quit, because of lack of competition. Your current options are only either TM or maxis. Celcom wired broadband only covers a small area, same with TIME. So TM knows that even if you quit and complain you wont have any other choice, other than to take on a new 2 year contract.

Google fiber is very different, they treat both their new and existing customers well to the point where existing ISPs showed just how much money they had when they started bribing cities to keep out google.

I try to stay positive in this case. My petition dries up at 23 signature till now. I kinda hope to get the 30 mark.I am arguing if I should go for one more round of petition run around the neighborhood again. I might get an odd 2-3 signatures. My area parliament member is really hard to get in contact via whatsapp or fb messenger. So, I will try to get up to their office sometime soon to request for letter of support. If they wont sign it or they quite petty about it, I will try for our chairman municipals council or one of the councils. Getting a city council signature should be easy since my mum office basically shares same building. However, I am just not too sure if council only letter of support will give that push compare to our MP. I prefer if MP get to my attention. Not to mention I did help organize and volunteer some of their event. I am doing a social service so that our MP can put up this collective argument in parliament next time.

You speak the truth.

I will just ignore some TM clown in this thread from now on. Not worth replying. Maybe he got that "ez" money after all. KEK.

signature means nothing, even my dogs can do drawing ... i mean signature, they only care about profit, dont get signature, get tm customers, alot of them.

I had neighbors that told me they already had unifi.... Thinking I am selling them insurance.... pulak.

I had neighbor that sign the petition and turn around scold me that I am not capable of getting uniform laid.

I had neighbor who wanted to let their dog have a piece of me.

I took 1 week to know on all doors. I got 50signature out of 80plus. I did this while the haze is at its worst.
Call me crazy but sitting on my ass for 7 years did not get me unifi. I had to act.


On the good note 1 Grandpa and a Pak cik invited me into their house and talked then signed my petition. I am grateful. I
Still greet them now.


Don't give up.

Is there any chance for SUBB to have Unifi in future? Or i should just do petition too? But my area is kampung lah

Any site with 50 you can PM me... I can bring you Telco fiber broadband services

What telco?

Small Telco .... not main stream at least fiber bb

mine was constantly re-apply unifi at website for every 3 months

after 3 years ..only dapat

damn happy when saw them come and install cable

This post has been edited by fantasy1989: Aug 21 2018, 07:52 AM

What are the success rate for those with less than 50 signature and a support letter from area MP. However, my support letter is directly address to TM. I made a WhatsApp group for those who gave their IC number and address. I think I can explain to them about such changes other than unifi fibre and use different ISP. Problem with telco fibre is that I don’t wanna them to think I am asking them to sign up for wireless data broadband. 🙃🙃

Basically you work for TM, you not get any discount for bring 9 customer to upgrade...

This bullshit... TM being Telor Maslan

TM should do this, a customer can bring 9 or more customer to signup for Unifi, give that customer reward like discount a year, because he bring customer for you, and he basically work for TM, and TM lazy, this is abuse!

Like a referral... so hard? TM dont have brain?

This post has been edited by Anime4000: Aug 27 2018, 12:26 AM

So, I stumbled onto this guy Facebook shared post. Some comment said they only paid contractor + cable optic for 1K + 3K only in plain sight 500m from next unifi area. But overall cable along roadside to target area is like 1.2km. So, rm20k estimate is far off by some poster. I think PH should come up with next HSBB3 with more than rm2b investment. Gov budget for HSBB 2 in 2015 was only rm500m. But then again, Mahathir will not give that big budget now that his focus is 1 trillion debt and new car company. *sigh* I guess it’s justified that TM personnel said they cannot cover everyone. What not justified is area with VVIP or Menteri or Rich and famous area are given priority, I don’t really see this people fully utilised and it’s a waste of potential.

Petition update: collected 24 signature(NRIC/address/contact), got an MP sign support of letter, and an official letter to date. I think I will try my luck going to to meet TMpoint manager and see what she has to say. 😎😎. I am gonna go with a year timeline before Unifi reach my place. If not hopefully those 4d or Damacai got me rm10k one day.

This post has been edited by gunhit14: Aug 27 2018, 09:48 PM

Final update: I managed to hand in the demand list (petition) of my housing area, MP support letter, official demand letter, goggle map highlighted area, excel spreadsheet of contact list and address.

The meeting with the manager was good and short. She was nice overall. Had to take early off time from workplace before lunch hour and it pays off. She told me my letter is complete and she will put my case in her next meeting agenda. An overall thumbs up. A site survey will be conducted to see if unifi is good to deploy. Most people in our town usually who do demand form are higher up people in ministry/politic/tan sir/businessman or big companies with government ties. She didn’t hide that facts. She glad I approached this way. I will follow up every 4 months now since I got her email/WhatsApp contact. Sign off for now. Hopefully this thread help for those need to kick out their streamyx. Can’t wait to join unifi elite class club and get my website running. Say no to peasants streamyx 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And I will take the 100mbps so that the shitty neighbors who didn’t show interest will left with no port. And cry on social media for next 5 years.

I be here in 4 months time. Peace out ✌️.

Another SOP answer is suruh your jiran pasang 100mbps with RM200++ package (The most expensive package)..
Very fast you will see poles already...

After you get 10 signature, then TM will say not enough.. I need extra 100 signature..
After 100 signature, then not enough. I need 1k signature..

There is non-ending signature..

Do you think TIME will provide other state area such as Johor, Penang, Perak, Seremban and so on (EXCEPT selangor and wilayah persekutuan) there?

Second, maxis has their own infrastructure.. But limited...
Mostly need rely with TM poles in order to get services.

And without TM poles = no maxis fiber coverage.
End up.. You need to slave with TM... I need your "poles"..

so cos other ISP dont want to invest, simply blame TM for monopoly..?

I never see before TM got member-get-member..
So far I see maxis fiber have like this campaign encourage people to bring more customers. And then give people discount per month or something else.

You think "Unifi, give that customer reward like discount a year"?
They will reply you "I never heard this before"..

I don't think so ISP dont want to invest. It's really making money one... But first thing set up need to spend a lot.. And then only after 5 years or more longer years to earn back..
I guess TM is control everything for fiber service provider.

Maxis did call me about Fibernation, I ask samething, they can't...
dear Lenalee Lee, you know?

my area is i keep submit request for every 3 months

then receive call from them and say no unifi

then 3 months later submit lol

now i am having unifi liao (landed property)


*i been doing this shit for close to 3 years

This post has been edited by fantasy1989: Aug 28 2018, 07:23 PM

Good explanation though.
Is it weird if few lorong away from us got unifi while we still dont have the coverage?

What you mean "they can't"? Due to no coverage?

For your case, you want to migrate from Unifi to maxis?
If yours area have unifi, then why maxis say no unifi? I'm confused.

my area got streamyx and no unifi

i keep apply unifi at their website for every 3 months

after doing this for close to 3 years ..finally recently i manage to get unifi

Waa.. Keep spam apply unifi at website every 3 months.
Respect you so have time every 3 months keep submissions.

yup..keep spam them every 3 months lol

since they told me check with them again 3 months later

Then they will keep contact to you every 3 months "Sorry sir, currently still did not have coverage yet".. Is this like that reply?

yup

From my experience, DiGi throttles between 7PM-1AM so you'll get less than 1 Mbps download, especially in city areas. Sometimes the throttling happens randomly even outside those hours. It's so weird when my modem says I'm on 5 bar 4G+, but the speed is like using a dial up modem in the 90s

If you don't experience that throttling now with their service, eventually you will ... probably 2 or 3 months after you've subscribed.

I know this as I stream a lot from Twitch and sometimes YouTube. I don't torrent or P2P, so not sure if they throttle those too.

No la maybe just yr area
My area night time can get 5-8mbps

Whatever ... enjoy your speed while it lasts

not weird, basically means they didnt wire your street to the cabinet. But since unifi is already in your area, you can get some signatures and go to TM to get unifi. Or you can set up a p2p wifi with one of the nearby houses using a 10KM capable 2 channel wifi ac p2p setup and ask one of the houses with unifi, you subscribe your own, modem stay at their house with one wifi point, and align to your house.

It's just 50m-100m from here. Already call TM support,
they said within 14 days there will be an upgrade in process.
Can totally believe it or not?

but they didnt say they would be covering your area, they were talking about the unifi upgrade, not the coverage improvement.

So what's the purpose calling 100 then?

for TM services. If your line got issue or for technical support.

Any update for us bro? U successful to get unifi to your place?

Trust me, most of the time, the resources are fully available. But what causes the problem are not resource but human issue. I've been to some projects implementation that's under government before. Throughout the entire meeting, i've seen pple who attended the meeting with an empty brain. Only when the meeting is coming to an end, they would suddenly jump out to ask silly questions that they should be aware before they attend the meeting. Silly questions such as what type of cable they're using , are they realiable and who's the contact person. Well, with all given resources and quotations, these are basically the prerequisite that folks who before attended the meeting has to study well. Not ask these kind of dumb questions during the meeting. And there are also unseen questions that are not addresses beforehand too. No surveys and no checks to ensure that the meeting is about discussing importance of the projects and to deliver the project on time. It's usually delay a few times until a few months later or perhaps few years. You'll basically vomit blood judging the performance of these staffs representatives.

After years of complaining, finally TM going to setup a booth in my area (with all landed houses) to collect demand tomorrow... what is the success rate of getting UNIFI coverage if they willing to set up a booth here?

If I am not mistaken,the success rate is 34% of people living in the same or very nearby road and minimum application must be 20 to 30 people.

If let say your specific road got 100 house. And along that road, got 34 application, they will consider. If less, they won't entertain.

And let say your area got 34 application out of 100 house, but it is scattered all over different road, they won't entertain.

This is based on my case, there are more than 10 road in my neighborhood, but only in my road the demand for unifi is concentrated (34% more), so they consider my road only.

But of coz, each Case is specific up to TM discretionary, however in common, that's how TM are deciding.

I just filled in the demand list. The person in charge said they target to get 80 signatures and they will implement for the whole residential area by October this year. Hopefully they get enough applicants to sign up.

How is your procedure for requesting the demand ? go to tmpoint ?
They give out a paper to sign or we create a letter template ?

Speak with your neighbor, get the agreement from them to fill in the form (will be provided by TM salesperson) then if you fulfill the minimum number of application as per my guidelines, you Will get the unifi.

don't request the demand from TM. you should get them the demand for TM to entertain you. Not enough demand, no Unifi.

This post has been edited by sp3d2: Aug 6 2019, 12:46 AM

The form get from TM ?

Yes.

Thanks.

Sorry I dont understand , "don't request the demand from TM. you should get them the demand for TM to entertain you."

Do you have the form format ? got logo or signature ? What if they said they don't have ?

You and your neighbors should fill in the unifi application form from TM, then provide the forms to TM. Once u have enough number of application (unifi demand), then only TM will connect unifi to your place.

The unifi application form, You can get it from TM point or any TM sales representative.

This post has been edited by sp3d2: Aug 7 2019, 07:26 AM

went already , they said don't have , they never heard before.Either they liar or they are not inform.

Do you have sample of the form ? please can PM me or show to me ? thanks .

I also want to know how the sample form look like.
Is it the Application Form?

PM me also for sample form.
Thanks and appreciate.

Seriously funny. TM point don't have unifi application form?

This country is going downhill very fast like this.......

Seriously they don’t have the application form?
So how to apply?

I have filled in the Unifi Demand Form when TM set up booth at my area few weeks ago, the form looks like this:

Link: https://www.tm.com.my/Home/Broadband/Streamyx/Documents/Streamyx_App_form2014.pdf

The header is something like "Borang Permintaan", the content is very similar to this form. Hope this helps.

You mean basic unifi Form from Tmpoint ? if that sure have but depends whether they wanted to give out or not.

What I wanted is the form of "Unifi petition (demand list)" that you mention.
They said , never see any demand list petition form.
but You said you have the form , I really wanted to know why tmpoint doesn't give out the demand form


I don't think they allow you to apply the application form of unifi if your area is not cover with unifi.
The only way to be a unifi agent.

How to become a unifi agent ? so that I cna ask every house to apply the form or collect demand list , petition sign and etc ?

I though they everything direct enter to the system for the demand list.
Anyway, this type of form is not so really effective one..

I even through already in demand list, wait for 4 or 5 years already still no coverage.

depends on your local tm staff if they rajin or just sit on their ass wait for grants.. mine here basically almost non reactive one.. even high demands just across the road go the main cable they also macam fak*

Haha, TM likes this old school form... I remember i filled in this kind of form a decade ago and today they still using the same form template.

Btw you need to gather enough numbers or else they wont layan you. I don't how they define the minimum number tho. My area has +/- 250 houses, that day TM told me they need at least 80 residents to sign the demand form then only they pull the fibre over.

You mean normal unifi application form ? The problem is not everyone believe in me , i am not a unifi agent , later someone complain.
How to temporary become a unifi agent or something else verification ?

The Demand Form that I filled in looks like this, orange colour form but with Unifi Packages on it (I'm not sure how Unifi application form looks like, it could be the same form). I did not tick on any of the packages because the form is meant for TM to collect names, not for sign up.

I do not know how to become an agent but I don't think you need to be one. You are not helping those people to sign up Unifi. (Sign demand form and sign up unifi service are two different thing)

But this form doesn't have the unifi RM129.
Did you thick Unifi others and write the RM129 100mb ?

But did you sign ? Just worry if someone suddenly said you sign to a certain package.This form is not demand form , it's apply form.

As I have mentioned it looks like this, it is just an example, I do not have the actual form to show you. The rest I don't think I need to repeat ....

Sarawak? TM is the KING.

lel.. so called "SOFIA" from sacofa also krik rkik

Sacofa is part of the sarawak minister shareholder.. (You know who is he/she already.. )

While Semenanjung is by Edotco.. Correct me if I'm wrong..

This post has been edited by JuneResources: Aug 21 2019, 10:47 AM

But then if in term of wireless seems sacofa doing better job than edotco..

Thanks , hope someone able to find a demand form.

tmpoint claim they don't have both of it.

You are wrong, Sacofa is owned by Sarawak Government (including SAINS, Yayasan), CMS (50%) and Celcom (15%).

They have extensive fibre networks (clients including universities, corporates) as well not only telecom towers. Edotco is owned by Celcom/Axiata but in charge of the towers only.

Myth. They now telling me for vdsl older apartment block 70% ppl wants to subscribe they maybe think about it.

how to know which is VDSL ?

If they don't pull cable for installation to your apartment likely vdsl I think 🤔 . Also vdsl unlikely go faster than 30mb.

This post has been edited by KopiChia: Aug 24 2019, 05:51 AM

Normal house hold , normal phone landline.That is whether it's possible it's VDSL ?
Normally , can we find out through modem ? or any way to know ?

VDSL is for copper apartment block not normal household. It's stop gap measure I think instead of pulling cable to each apartment in the building. I am not technician so I don't know you need to ask experts 😂

This post has been edited by KopiChia: Aug 25 2019, 02:46 AM

More than 70% in the neighbourhood already fill the demand form.. And tmstaff themselves said this place memang got high demands. Till date still give excuses like cost even tho the developer said all specs already ready.. just wait tm to pull the cable in.

I can say, these demand list are utterly bullshit.. Unless got tm people can help push.

Hi guys, sorry for no updates for quite a while. It’s been officially 1 year 2 months since I submitted my petition with somewhere at 30-50 signature (more or less I can’t remember).

Good news is that the fibre network layout was done in my area, I can confirm, the neighbour Lorong that didnt sign the petition was skipped and those who signed got the networking at their Lorong.

I can confirm it is fibre layout due to wiring colour black with yellow strip. The ground guy just finished yesterday. No white box was attached to pole yet. This morning I texted the networking team, and the vice branch manager of TM. YES, it’s on!

However we still need to wait 3-6 months awaiting port and exchange node if there no issue, latest 3 months. But certain case it can drag up to a year. Nonetheless, I am happy that they are doing something and take our petition seriously. Without petition, neighbours sign and the YB and Datuk bandar, I surely feel like a wreck if they didn’t do anything.

Conclusion,
Do you need petition?
Maybe but for them to take note maybe much of your area is zero if no petition.
Does petition helpful in highlighting your area and prioritise your are?
Absolutely, yes.
Will TM take your petition seriously?
By right they should and they did...so Yes

I no longer need the unifi fibre high speed for my e-commerce entrepreneur journey since I got physical office address with Time internet. However, this unifi at my area will be a bonus in addition to working at home. Thank you and I will update if once the internet up and running.
