See, I told ya. Fishy. same old tactic from TM when they launch hidden package like this one. They will launch another package again soon just like this one but this time will be official package.

Ya. That's also what told to me by one of the TM point staff at my area. Port will be 'reserved' first for the current streamyx user at the certain 'lorong'. This project known as CuBB (Copper to unifi broadband migration)
Their telemarketing people will persuade this streamyx user to migrate to unifi and after certain period if this streamyx user still refused to migrate, only then they'll release the port to public.

Once you saw DP already installed, it's time to quickly head to nearest TMPoint and register. For newly installed area, usually your address is not yet updated in the system, hence sometimes some agent may tell you that there is no coverage yet. But if you go to TMPoint they can process your application.

There is a code and number at the DP box. snap a picture and go to TM point immediately.
They will put u on the list if still no one apply or upgrade to fiber.

Perhaps you can just proceed like what other member suggested before. Snap the picture of fdp, then head to the nearest tm point to subscribe. Good luck. Im still waiting for them to proceed the project at my taman. Initially, it was scheduled to be completed by Q3 2020, but delayed again until early Q1 2021 due to mco and current pandemic.

aiks  ... why u went to agent instead of TM Point. By right TM Point should handle everything for u.
Right now if u get it via agent, maybe you will not get free 1 month bill.
Some forumer brought out if apply via agent, because TM need to pay commission to agent, you wont get free one month bill.
Not sure what can you do now, sit down or wait or if u need fiber desperately, i still recommend you go to TM point explain ur situation to them, maybe they can help you.

I think the reason why they give streamyx user 1st maybe because
1.most of them no longer having contract,if they change to maxis then really loss profit
2.loyal customer 1st is not wrong
3.unifi get less complain so existing customer will see the difference from streamyx.

My advise is don't bother and join in early with the excitement. Let them get it right first, wait like 3-6 months after everything settled down when the service is available then apply other ISP. They'll eventually release if too many unused ports inside the FDP not utilized.

TM Unifi contract is very unfair, must pay all 24 remaining months if you don't want to use anymore.Doubt your neighbors all silly enough to sign up and get tied another 24 months.

Actually there 's no such thing as not enough of ports. The fibre cable that serves the telephone poles on the lane or street(lorong/jalan) you live at got at least 6 strands of fibre inside each can split upto 8 ports.

Easily can put 5 FDP boxes on each road each serving 8 ports = upto 40 ports per row of houses.

The row of houses you live in got 40 homes total?

You can try to apply through TMpoint, or try apply for Maxis. Whoever can give port you take up their package.
Unfortunately only TM can add port. You can do is to keep complain until they give you port.

Also because now Streamyx pay RM69 only, TM will try to push streamyx users to at least Unifi RM89.

Streamyx is often terminated when converted to Unifi, so there is no Streamyx + Unifi, unless of course if the applicant wants to use both. The reason the agent never show up at your door because you are not in TM's database. Much said deploying ports takes quite a fortune from TM, so the agents only approach houses with Streamyx because houses with current TM service can guarantee TM's investment will be worthwhile.

When your house is not in TM's database, TM can't really gamble since that particular house might not be interested in subscribing residential internet. Some people only need cellular internet and it is enough for them. And for this you can't really blame TM, as you can try plead to Maxis to lay their own fibre but you will get a big fat NO, or if they see you desperate enough to have res. internet, their common answer is "we wait for TM" because they only look for profit. Try ask TIME, TIME only want to invest in metropolitan cities which can secure them profit return from investment.

Trust me, if telco's are willing to invest together, our nation internet would be better. Monopoly was put to end ages ago yet no telco willing to step up and invest, but instead only rely on TM.

If through agent, your house most likely is not inside the system yet and agent will wait until port is available which god knows when (agent cant access the waiting list system). Better return to TMPoint and ask them to put your name and house inside waiting list system (pm me for procedures, I will help guide). This will help you secure a port and notify TM you want Unifi.

About persuading neighbor, again those coming from house to house are usually agents. Rarely TM staff goes outside from house to house. Since your neighbor is already in TM's list, they can secure commission. Another reason those agents don't bother to show up on you because you could change your mind later on to not have Unifi.

Also avoid agents, many issues can come later on as they could care less if they screw up applications because people will automatically blame TM if misunderstandings/conflict happens.

If you just applied then wait for the result. You can try ask Maxis agent whether they have port or not. Most likely they will wait for Tm but no harm trying. Don't sign up first unless you get a confirmation.

Foundation used to be that way now not anymore. People want monopoly ended and gov let that happen. But still no telco want to step up, why? Maxis Digi Celcom get profits every year and is capable enough to start their own infra, like Maxis did in certain areas. But now Maxis are not up to the game anymore as Maxis lost few investment in fibre optic because rejection of Maxis in some residential area, had no choice but to lease to TM.

Like that Sabahan girl viral in news. Celcom Digi Maxis can build their own tower if they want to like they have always been but where are they? Only TM comes up with building the tower.

Enough said, other ISP only look into your money but could care less upgrading nation's internet service.

Well if you can and have the time, go to main tmpoint to check first, not the small tmpoint or deeler. Only if confirm they cannot provide you, then try other ISP.

Each jalan/lorong they pull one black wire to cover the whole row of homes. Inside each cable there's more than 1 strand which further split to 8 ports using a passive splitter inside the FDP box.

To only put one FDP box for each row of house which has around 10 homes covering both sides, either TM is stupid, highly corrupted or they intentionally doing it to provide limited number of ports only for themselves.

You can actually report this to MCMC as a complaint because as comparison, TNB Allo buildouts place at least 4-5 FDPs per lorong in their new buildouts. Each FDP can provide 8 ports min.

See for yourself:

Of course, then you do expansion and cover new areas for what? The telco must be stupid to put only 1 FDP box on the pole to serve 2 rows of houses with over 20 homes?

When people all are registering interests and there are more than 8 fixed line Streamyx users in those 2 rows of houses you go and put a FDP with only 8 ports?

Better don't expand coverage and volunteer to build the nation's HSBB la like that. Not sincere.

This FDP boxes and splitters costs less than RM200 or even less in bulk. I don't know why they keep telling people it's limited and hard to do expansion. BS.

TM must be either too stupid or greedy to force people to only force subscribe their Unifi plans.

If they're smart and resourceful, they know regardless of which ISP people choose to use on their HSBB, TM wholesale division still gets revenues for each port on lease terms.

Malaysian typical mentality is "Spend the least now, on think later only if problem arise".

People advanced countries will build roads as wide as possible even if they don't need it at present so that if traffic surges in future even decades/centuries to come they don't have to crack their heads how to solve the jams. If there's space to build 4-lane roads they'll be justification to build it now but there'll be some short sighted Malaysian would 2-lane is more than enough for today's needs. Later want to expand how?

Take for example in Singapore when a fibre network build-out is planned, they will supply 2-ports for each home for future needs. So if a HDB flat has 200 units of homes, the plan will have to provide at LEAST 400 ports in that building.

Same goes to landed, if a row has 20 homes to cover you need to provide enough FDPs to cover MIN 40 ports which is to supply at LEAST 5 FDPs with 8-ports each.

In Switzerland, the requirements are even stricter. They go with 4-ports per home. That means if there're 25 homes in an apartment, the telco that intends to expand coverage to that particular building must set up at LEAST 100 ports to be made available to serve the tenants there.

For TM they think they want to get away with just 1 FDP box to cater for 2 rows of landed homes?
What kind of planning is that? Are they really this stupid? What is MCMC turning a blind eye on this?

Each Malaysian home if you follow proper ITU standards and requirements must we wired with at least a 2-core fibre with 2 ready ports at the FWS(TP).

If what some users are telling they have over 20 homes on both sides for a lorong to cover, 5 FDPs for each lane/lorong is correct with 40 ports available enough to cover 2-ports per home.



   

I say Malaysians MUST bring this up to MCMC.

There's a way.
That house B let them install first. Then request relocation to house A. Magically will have port maybe.

Missing address issue is easy to fix, since port available and address not listed in system, all TM have to do is key in the data inside the system. No budget used here.

But adding ports consumes budget. So you gotta wait until TM gets budget or someone terminates their unifi

Still waiting Unifi to release 300mbps subscription without unifi TV box+

Seeing Maxis Fibre has RM149 option but don't know how's the after purchase service from them since they also using TMnet backend fibre

But right now we dunno Unifi 300mbps cost how much without the TV box, lol ..

I will still continue with Unifi if possible though but hope is around RM140~149 since additional RM20 from 100mbps quite worth
