Hmm, it appears that TM Unifi now deploys fibre FTTH to high rise buildings that uses VDSL copper? These photos are taken at one of my friend's condo unit. The condo is located in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.
The fibre cable is obviously laid like this, which is kinda eyesore la tbh... The condo doesn't have fibre infrastructure, so they had to lay the cable into condo unit like this. Similar like TIME Fibre.
Close up look at TM's fibre cable
New TM Unifi ONU fibre modem? It's not the Huawei anymore...
FiberHome brand... I never hear before. As what I know, even Maxis Fibre and TIME Fibre don't supply this fibre modem brand to its customers...
Let me remind again, these photos are taken in a condominium and not landed house, where all this while, many would never thought that TM would deploy FTTH to high rise buildings someday and stuck in copper cable forever.
The fibre cable comes from the ceiling of the corridor (walkway), and then ends at the MDF room.
As I walk around the corridor in the same floor, apparently only my friend's unit and a very few other units can be seen that the fibre cable is laid into units like this.
Maybe they would only come and lay fibre cable for new installations or customers who upgrades to Unifi's higher speed package?
I contacted TM via live chat and ask, they say the condo is using the combination of both copper and fibre, and the max speed for high rise building is basically still 30Mbps.
Then I was like, if it's only 30Mbps, then what's the point of them installing fibre at the first place?
Since it's already using fibre cable, why not offer much higher speeds that VDSL copper can't provide, such as 300Mbps and above?
if ftth in condo, can support up to 800mbps, nowsday new condo all run FTTH ediThe fibre cable is obviously laid like this, which is kinda eyesore la tbh... The condo doesn't have fibre infrastructure, so they had to lay the cable into condo unit like this. Similar like TIME Fibre.
