Allo CBB and Maxis both uses NTT as its major upstream carrier provider(wholesale).

So their routing paths are similar.

Are the FDP boxes up on the poles and labelled? If labelled already can start registering your interests. You can find the contact details on the first page or Allo Facebook pages.

If you're saying the same pockets of a circle of faces and major shareholders, there's truth to it.

Like ex-Maxis and ex-Axiata Group CEO Tan Sri Jamaluddin now can become chairman of QSR Brands chairman and board of director in Sunway.

TM's ex CEO Datuk Seri Shazalli Ramlyi can now become Boustead Holdings new group MD.

It's always the same circle of faces and major stakeholders in almost every telco in Malaysia making musical chair moves changing seats.
PNB, EPF-KWSP, KWAP, Khazanah, Blackstone, financial/insurance investment funds inside all of them.

However for infra I don't agree. You might be confused between TNB and TM.
One is a power utility company the other is a telco.

They use old Calix equipment in Cyberjaya during early days.

Recent newer places they using Huawei Universal PON equipment already. Also implemented VLAN to allow other ISPs to buy wholesale from them.

Where is your location?

In newer areas where wholesale retail ISPs are allowed to operate, they will have to use VLAN to separate their traffics on Layer 3 approach for each ISP.

Noticed that some of you mentioned about DHCP IPoE allocation which doesn't required PPPoE account setup.

For those who are on this setup may I confirm that you're based in Klang Valley and Cyberjaya which uses this older method where Allo CBB is the only provider there?

You got no local agent or sales office where you subscribed the internet from?
Just pay them a visit lah if you can't get things solved over the phone.

Where is the installer contact? Ask him for your connection details or WAN type protocol used: PPPoE or DHCP based IP.

Never heard of such thing in Perak or Malacca here with the bad support.

Using the psychology of fear to do sales. Bad ethics.

Your housing row got more than 32 houses a not?
In fact I'm sure they have already planned out to provide more than enough ports there at your place for future needs.

16 houses? Maybe enough to reserve 2 ports per house already..

Yes and some properties are rented to multi tenants. Each room tenant may want a line of his/her own so they pull separate lines(ports) for each room.

Possible with good planning and future sight.

Like Switzerland, law is each home is reserved with 4 ports (fibre strands). In Singapore, each home has 2 ports allocated during plan-outs.

Bumping this thread.

So has Allo halted expansion in Perak already?

Seems quiet down already. They already moved on to other states now such as Kedah and Johor now?

NAT private IPs have their own advantages and disadvantages compared to public IPs.

If you don't need to host servers via DDNS, don't have CCTVs at home or require exposure directly to the internet, NAT can be more stable if implemented properly.

With public IP you can have a situation like TM where a random IP is assigned to you everytime you disconnect, it's your luck to get a good or bad one every time you reset your modem/power cycle it.

For private IP where they exit though a shared public gateway, the IP is always assigned a good one and managed by the ISP directly so it can provide more stable experience.

Also by hiding behind a NAT, security is also higher you're not directly exposed to outside unless you know what you're doing. Most regular users won't see much difference if they're just doing regular browsing, watching videos and downloading.

L2TP/PPTP is highly throttled on Maxis network. When I connect using these 2 methods to VPN can only get no more than 4Mbps which is similar only to Streamyx speeds.

Not sure if Allo throttles them similarly?

Looks like bad handling and engagement of installation works there.

The kind of bad and lazy culture that keeps spreading in our country after a while no matter which business it is.
Starts off well, then slowly and surely the momentum slows down and becomes taken for granted until its abandoned.

Depends on the service area and the type of technology used.

In the initial rollout and earlier areas such as Cyberjaya and Bangsar South(Kerinchi), their fiber optic lines were exclusively used by City Broadband which doesn't require VLAN switching. For Bangsar South, they used ETTH technology which brings fibre to the building and ethernet switches. Tenants in the business complex/building are wired up via LAN cabling with ViewQwest as the ISP.

The newer build-outs such as those in Malacca, Perak, Kedah, Johor and other states uses the same L3 wholesale level model similar to TM HSBB with participating retail service providers/ISPs sharing their infrastructure. There is no other way to separate the lines in a shared passive optical network unless you pull individual strands to each home via active P2P distribution. That is the reason they have to use VLAN switching. Even TIME has also started to use this methods because they are now selling wholesale bandwidth to other ISPs joining their network such as DiGi Home Fibre.

From the list you can clearly see that TNB is not targetting CBDs and state capitals. Probably close-by suburbs and outskirt residential areas just outside the city limits.

Alor Setar, Georgetown/Bayan Baru, Ipoh, PJ/Shah Alam, Seremban and JB/Nusajaya not in the list.
Probably TM is already dominant in those areas with many of them covered well with their HSBB infra.

Probably not the CBD core and city area itself. Adjacent housing suburbs outside the city area.

If it doesn't keep up with the expansion pace or keeps targeting low value/low demand suburban areas it's not going to survive.

Just like Google Fiber in US, the hype is to wake up the incumbent telcos such as AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Centurylink, Frontier, Charter and TDS from their slumbers and get them moving with their fiber rollout expansions before they get kicked out of their protected markets.

Just an excess of a few megabits, other than that everything such as the supplied router, international routes and data plans are similar.

The ISPs you mentioned Maxis, Celcom and DiGi standardizes all their packages pricing/speed across all networks: TM HSBB, TIME, Celcom Timur and TNB Allo.

Without the buffer bloat the most probably you can get an excess of 1-3Mbps difference which isn't much unless you can get your hands on a account without speed caps to use on your line.

The limits of GPON has always been asymmetrical. 2.4Gbps Down/1.2Gbps Up.

Despite Allo selling symmetrical 1GBps in real time conditions, rarely you can see uploads will ever reach close to download in reaching 1Gbps with consistency.

None of the Malaysian ISPs are selling commercial 10GBps symmetrical XGS-PON yet maybe under trial.

With overheads a GPON line will max out around 1.9Gbps Down and 950Mbps Up.

The salary rates of RM1200-RM1500 compared to the latest average figure supplied by INDEED & Glassdoor for developed nations is dirt cheap.
