SUNGAI PETANI many taman until now only got streamyx only
Sungai Petani had a OPEN Fibre network which was among the earliest in the country but FAILED miserably there. That was the reason why TM skipped many tamans in Sungai Petani. It ran fibres also on TNB utility poles
The company was called Fiber@Home which used Active P2P fibre connection instead of Passive GPON back then.
Its HQ was based at Bandar Laguna Merbok and they even had registration counters set up at mamak restaurants to do bill payments and registrations.

Halal Internet besides Celcom Axiata, Maxis, Jaring and Astro just like Allo today.




Don't know what happened to that company in Sungai Petani already today. It failed miserably due to lack of take up and the company just went down the drain maybe sold off.
All happened during BN era. They even wanted to expand to all the other Muslim states in Malaysia such as Terengganu, Kelantan etc. but didn't had Perak in the picture until PH government stepped in with Gobind and his team finally taking notice of Penang and Perak.
