Correct me if I'm wrong. Maxis own infra and DSL fixed network uses IPoE instead.

IPoE is more suitable for ISPs which own the entire network from backend to the last mile especially cable TV networks, non sharing fibre infra and fixed wireless.
It trades simplicity and easy management for flexibility.
Role example of successful networks in the world that have now adopted IPoE instead of PPPoE for its modernization is NTT West/East Japan which is already embarking on full migration to IPv6 IPoE deployment to all its fibre users.

Having said that unlike Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand where you can see multiple ISPs serving homes on their own independent networks unlike our failed TM's countrywide wholesale HSBB monopoly, it is not surprising that in these countries you can see multiple fibres owned by different ISPs running in front of your homes offering you cable tv internet, FTTH or massive MIMO fixed wireless on different independent networks.

Malaysian and Singaporean open network build-outs are more westernized than theirs.

The strategy adopted by Japan and China is that it seeks simplicity by unifying all internet services under the IP umbrella(IPTV based cable TV, VoIP, ubiquitous mobile EPC and internet access)

The western approach was to separate multiple services through different approach with different wavelengths, packets and VLAN tagging which makes things further complicated trying to sell sophistication with lesser overheads. The result is a more expensive adoption and much more complicated model.

Over time, we know who is winning between both sides.

No managed IP direct MetroEthernet solution? Maxis 10G backhaul to where?
