At least you got something, Senyap in my Taman

What really baffles me is why they intentionally handicap themselves like that? I mean if you are going to cover that area why do such a half arse job of doing it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, they could just pull a multicore fiber underground in one go and terminate to individual FDP for each fiber strand? No?

Though I guess it's probably to create a sense of urgency for the them to sign up by artificially creating demand? Which I guess it probably back fire from that.

Where did you get the news of Allo unable to go power ON ?

Hmm, Problem back at their exchange?

Regardless I will say give it more time, Can't be too harsh to new comer compare to TM which ALLO don't have the resources and experiences to compete with.

My Hometown housing area (Taman Ampang) has already started to tanam the pole already. When ask the contractor they reply me still need 1 more month to fully finish the pole placement.
Don't mind waiting for them as I have waited for 10 years for Tx, wait for 1-2 months for them is fine

I was just surveying the state of fiber deployment in Taman Ampang just now. Definitely very interesting phenomenon happening here and I was definitely not expecting happening here

TNB Allo and both TM Unifi are aggressively rolling out their fiber infra here often overlapping each other places foothold here in Taman Ampang. TM definitely shat it's pants after ignoring my Taman for >10 years.

Everywhere you step in Taman Ampang you could see TNB Allo Polls are being erected both in front and back alley at the house. And beside the pole you can see TM Unifi Yellow Fiber bundle being
coiled up and put beside the pole.

Not sure it's intentional but definitely very cunning instead. After asking some of my neighbours they thought that pole is actually from TM rather than Allo as they have been seeing Unifi Promoter hard at work recently

I will post more pictures of the state of deployment later here once i figure out how to put images on Lowyat forum.
From what i can tell at the moment. TM is having a slight advantage at the moment as they have already put up a new FDC just within a KM from my house. Supposedly that FDC will serve numerous Taman within that area (Taman Ampang/Taman Pelangi etc). Unifi had probably done their fiber pulling jobs ahead of time now and now waiting to setup FDP at the back alley of the houses.

Where as ALLO they had only plant 80% of the pole at the moment (if my estimate was right) and they had been planting since early December. I saw 2 FDC are prepared to be setup within 1-2 KM from each other from Radius
and within 200 Meters from the newly errected TM FDC

Needless to say Allo will be facing a tough time here in this Taman as their presence are still very low at the moment. I could see customer being tied up for 2 years immediately as ALLO are still way behind their deployment compared to Unifi.

Same thing happening at Taman Cempaka AFAIK. Not sure how ALLO handle their Fiber coverage as they seem to have a bit of a deadspot which my house is located at.
No tiang from TNB but Fibers from TM


Pole on the Left side is from TNB allo where TM Fiber is on the right. So this could means that ALLO is willing to overlap TM coverage



One of the 2 FDC that i saw ALLO is planning, Walk straight for 100meters and you could see TM FDC there.




One thing i had notice, but not sure if it's just limited to this contractor only is that road with this White circle cross mark are often used to indicate TNB polls or Infa are right there.


Another FDC that's just within 1-2 KM's apart in radius.

I don't quite recall but I think it is.

One back alley will have 3-4 poles for the FDP

Yup, hence why I said Allo and Uxxfx are fighting aggressively in this area.

It's already happening, This list basically just confirm my observation.

If you refer a couple post earlier where I had posted one of the FDC is actually located in Taman Ampang Indah. And that location was not announced before (only Taman Ampang). Tx had already setup their FDC and their cabling along with FDP in that Taman.

Same goes to Taman Ampang as well. When i complained to MCMC on this year March they projected that they will cover my area on Year end December. But suddenly they keep pushing it forward until End of October - Early November. Probably as a counter to Allo expansion. Meanwhile Allo still haven't got their fibers and FDC roll out. Only the poles at the moment.

Tx Promoter are aggressively promoting in Taman Ampang/Cempaka as well. I think I saw 3 in the span of 2 Weeks.

Only 1 Unifi FDP behind my house at the moment

I'm not quite sure what's TM doing at the moment. I saw Fiber cable rollup and was put at the side of the pole (probably for 2-3 more FDP for this back alley) but at the moment they just setup 1 for some reason???

Yeah, This is why we need competition in this industry. TM straight away cover those neglected area by setting up FDP and FDC quickly where those area Allo are targeting.
Allo coverage are still very sporadic at the moment. They only cover certain portion of my Taman at the moment. But once ALLO arrive I will switch to it anyway.
TM just doesn't offer the upload speed I needed at the moment.

Will do, Could be a sign that not much people are using Streamyx in my area and they are just unwilling to setup that much FDP

This is TM mentality, Facing Problem today? Better to leave it till tomorrow and let somebody else handle it

Have they have the foresight and setup the FDP properly in one go and don't do any funny business on HSBB infra then they won't have to worry about the lack of adoption and new comers (Since TM have a first mover
advantage and they have the Market share/ name share as their advantage)

I'm pretty sure that it cost more to come back and pull more fibers in underserve area then to do it properly the first time.

Side Note, TNB Allo Really need to do something about their marketing.

Today I was driving along the main road from Taman Ampang to Taman Cempaka.
Within the span of 2KM I saw total of 4 (yes, 4) TM booth for Unifi Registration.

Actually what is the reason why TM cap their HSBB network at 800/200 and Allo can do Symmetrical Up and Down Speed?
From the outside I don't think there's much differences on the equipment that they are using.

Is that related to their GPON Optical Splitter Configuration Or perhaps it's just a simple configuration being done at Core/Edge Router?
If so what will it take for TM to achieve Symmetrical Up/Down Speed for Competition purposes?

Some FDC and Cable ground works have been setup in Gunung Rapat Area, They just haven't listed publicly as the upcoming coverage area.
