So? Are you trying to say TM can sabotage their other wholesale players to their advantage?

Yes they really do and my understanding is they will cap your modem(fibre ONU/VDSL) to EXACTLY 30M or 100M and with overheads you'll always get less than your subscribed speed due to overhead. For their own Unifi service they'll cap the speed slightly higher so that it'll show that you get what you subscribed.

Why MCMC not taking any actions against this unfair practice and closing an eye?

The more reason our government should expedite and do away with the monopoly TM use to manipulate their wholesale towards their own ISP?
TNB should be running the passive wholesale fibre market instead than to allow a ISP to manage it.

@GobindSingh pls look into this unfair monopolistic act which TM Wholesale use against their competitors.

To have healthy competition, each home in the city(state capitals/industrial) particularly must have 2 competing physical fixed line networks available. TM HSBB shouldn't be allowed to be the only provider. They're getting too cocky with their infra., if TNB's open network run alongside their HSBB, only then they'll wake up.

All HSBB wholesale leasing players should be given equal treatment when comes to port QoS. Why are competing ISPs getting their fibre modems/ONTs capped exactly as their package speeds giving them less with overheads while TM unfairly caps their own Unifi ports higher to absorb the overheads?

Why are the competing ISPs not looking into this and sue TM for takeing advantage of their monopoly?

Yes they're indeed doing it. Several forum posters have also confirmed it.

When you subscribe to Maxis/Celcom 30M or 100M plans you'll never get the full speed for what you've subscribed because of the overheads involed with packet headers/as such.

30M plans you'll get roughly 28M on speedtests even with local ones.
100M you'll only get around 97mbps with local servers in house.

Why because TM purposely cap your ONT(fibre modem) port to exact your package speed if you decide to choose Maxis/Celcom Home Fibre on their HSBB network.
The case is otherwise for Unifi. They cap your ONT higher like somewhere 35/40M and 120M respectively so you'll always get some leaks very slightly higher than what you subscribed.

30M and 100M is peanuts with what GPON can offer. It's intentional.

Yes, the Celcom/Maxis installer who did my house also confirmed this, when asked why the speedtest for 30M and 100M always yielded less by few mbps, they say what to do TM capped the ONT which they supplied exactly as the package speed.

30M speedtest max 28M
100M speedtest max 97M

This should not be a credit to TM. Our government subsidized their HSBB network hoping that every ISP player that uses it enjoys fair for all wholesale access with equal wholesale rates.
If they manipulate the national HSBB network to their own benefit and give advantage to their own ISP Unifi, then TM wholesale is misusing power on their part to monopolize a so called nationwide open network supposedly funded partially by our government.

HSBB Phase 1 is a 10-year project (started in July 2008) to expand broadband penetration in Malaysia.

“TM and the government have invested RM9.2 billion, of which RM2.4 (26% of total) was given as a grant to TM,” she said.

Both the government and TM will also share the cost of HSBB Phase 2 and SUBB projects, which require an investment of RM3.4 billion over a 10-year period.

“TM will invest RM1.3 billion (72%) and the government will invest RM500 million (28%) of the total RM1.8 billion HSBB Phase 2 project cost, while TM will invest RM1 billion (63%) out of the RM1.6 billion SUBB project.

Phase 1 HSBB: RM2.4B out of RM9.2B
Phase 2 HSBB: RM0.5B out of RM1.8B

This is via public funds for a "supposed" open network with equal access to all ISP players via universal grant.

TNB will be in the better financial position to run a true open fibre network in Peninsular Malaysia. They have abundance of dark fibre laid alongside their power cabling for leasing and their yearly financial results is much better. TNB is also neutral because they don't run their own consumer ISP like TM Wholesale which runs Unifi.

Your understanding of an open access wholesale model is little. TNB is just as "privatized" as TM is today.
The big difference is one is not also in the consumer ISP business but the latter is which clashes with the government intention to provide universal fair wholesale to other ISPs.

You can't be allowing Bernas to directly sell rice to consumers directly competing with other smaller companies who also are household brands.
They'll outprice the competition and monopolize the entire market pricing their own brand way cheaper than the rest since they're the wholesaler themselves.
