you may try use cloudflare dns or google dns see whether can browse or not. sometime isp dns may not enough good.

TNB Allo(City Broadband) does not have their own DNS, they apply Google DNS by default on all their subscriber's stock routers.Heck they don't even have their own speed test server and they buy wholesale bandwidth almost entirely from NTT Asia for their international transit access.

Is anyone today internet got problem? It seems that I only can browse popular website such as fb, YouTube, google, insta, Twitter and etc. Other than popular website, I cannot surf it. Is anyone here encounter same problem as mine? Or is just me?

My advise is use a good Singaporean VPN server owned by a reputable ISP. That'll remove re-route you out from your ISP's default routing while still maintaining acceptable response timing as it's closest to Malaysia.

You can try Google Cloud VPN, Amazon or SG.GS based VPN services to avoid your standard ISP routing paths.

This my own understanding. The package is called Astro & Broadband.

Those area under Unifi have 5 package - 30Mpbs(RM98.95), 100Mbps(RM148.95), 300Mbps(RM168.95), 500Mbps(RM238.95) and 800Mbps(RM318.95).

While those area under Allo have 2 package - 50Mbps(RM99) and 100Mbps(RM129).

For better understanding, it's best for you to ask Astro agent.

But currently, Maxis is doing promo with Astro. Upgrade 100Mbps to 300Mbps @ RM129 + RM61.32(Starter Pack).

Thanks for sharing. Its been so long that we register for unifi and tm ust ignore, right now after Allo installed their pole in my taman, Unifi installed their FDP port on their pole aswell. Pretty kiasu.

Going to jump ship and wait for Allo 500mbps at 139.

Any Allo sales lead who wants to answer his questions?

My images at the first post were all still intact last check. I WILL NOT take the chance to upload them on Pictr.com which is the image hosting partner of this forum for SECURITY and PRIVACY reasons. As you've noticed why most of my images on imageupload.net got removed. They didn't like me using TOR Browser to upload them anonymously and I must say many of the image hosting sites out there are indirectly related to intel agencies and authorities who does profiling with registered accounts. The image hosting provider for this forum pictr.com requires registration that is one of the main reasons why I choose not to use it but instead hot linked my images from external image hosting providers that accept TOR uploads.

You know those captchas which you need to solved are not child puzzles just to verify you as humans. They've other purposes such as to record your image canvassing data, your ping times to identify which region you're from and many other things. It isn't that simple.

Pertaining to your question, no Allo Technology S/B the data ISP division of TNB does not rent from others, it BUILDS its own last mile fibre network.

TM, TIME and TNB Allo all builds and operates their own individual last mile fibre networks but they allow layer 2/3 arrangements by other ISPs to route through them with their own accounts. From the OLT switches at the exchange until the fibre modem at the customer's premise is individually owned by them(Allo, TM or TIME) while they allow partnering ISPs to route their connections back to their data centres making use of their last mile infras.

About the overlapping of infra with existing TM coverage, it depends on the telco's budget and interests to provide competition in that particular area or not. If they feel that the area/housing garden is worth attacking or putting up the challenge to the already existing telco they they might have a go.

But I don't think Allo's original plan was to put up a direct fight with TM and steal all their customers away. They wanted to cover areas which were neglected by TM and comfortably have those areas to themselves such as the wide Blue Ocean strategy but unfortunately TM "JUMPED" and got grilled by political parties for their bad handling approach and thus they didn't want to lose out those areas to other players since they already served them copper for so many years.

You see, the strategy for deploying passive optics is to bring a certain "quantity" to an area to break even and achieve profitability. No point if you'd just pull a few strands of fibre to an area and service a few homes. Your maintenance alone will exceed your revenues unless the users a prepared to pay premium prices or dedicated P2P lines. A street cabinet can serve up to about 2000 ports per garden/area. If your area is already served by TM Unifi, do you think it might be a risk for a smaller ISP such as Allo to bet their stakes in those areas just to cover a few roads ignored by TM.

Also there's lots of considerations you need to put in mind, not only occupying ports, logical/virtual stuffs such as IP pool sizes, are most people on TM already tied with long contracts, bandwidth capacity, etc..

I am not sure how secure it would be for Pictr , why not just upload to your server , i can't view any of your picture due to imageupload.net remove all the picture.
As long as it's not something that important , i don't think what 'so call agency' doing any harm.If talk about security , it'll be another whole new thread sweat.gif

I appreciate for the long explanation.As for Allo , sometimes some area are said to be cover by Tx Uxxfx but only 1/3 of the area was cover.Some street are the same as well.
I think all of us hope another ISP like Allo willing to emerge compete or overlapping infra with Tx .A single company which mention that will cover an area for year but not able to do so and no help with complains given.
Not a few home , it's like an area of 10000 resident while Tx cover only 3000 left 7000 resident without fibre.Some front row of houses have while the back of the row are not.Adding up would be like every 3 rows, 2 row of house miss out for years.
Once Allo is install , i am sure it'll be an achievable profitability in the long run by taking example as Mobile Telco.

I do get what you mention , most Tx tied with contact but is it same as mobile Telco ??
2 years can be long but is it a good opportunity taking the current covid condition WFH including education center ?
The faster Allo deploy their Fibre the higher the chances user will subscribe Allo.At the current initial stage , the most important part for an ISP like Allo is to do a survey on how many resident willing to have fibre.
Without a survey , there will be no solid evident on the amount of resident require a fibre.

Speaking in technical part , does a single a FDC for Tx Uxxfx v1 HSBB actually support 2000 ports ? I did ask at Uxxfx section but i get various answer , some mention v1 only support 200 houses , not sure about v2 v3 . https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...post&p=98164740 .
I am not sure whether it's correct , 1 cabinet 2000 ports = 2000 resident houses can get fibre also depends on how many user subscribe higher mbps speed.
How do we scout where does Tx install their FDC type and location ? it's not like they are willing to tell us.Later when complain = no port.
Allo using the same Tech as Tx ?

Previously , we can still search for Uxxfx area at their official web using googlemap but not for now which require all the hassle going to tmpoint and livechat calling 100.
Does Allo able to search with google map available area ?

My hopes and situation is probably very similar to yours. Area already covered by Unifi, chances of Allo overlapping is slim to none.

Business politics and rivalry can be very nasty in our country. Some of the larger ISPs do not want to expand their home fibre network not because they can't afford to but they fear many issues might arise with all sorts of risks they'll have to bear.

That's why they're more interested in deploying 5G. Easier and less hassle to their customers. Just collect the CPE modem, return home plug in the power cord and connected within secs. Speed wise in excess of gigabits and latency is said to rival fibre with 1ms to 1st hop(base station).

That way they can have better control of their pricing and subscription plans. No need expensive build outs, heavy cabling and complicated installations/drilling.

It is realizable as 5G equipments continue to drop in price in the near future. Only their base stations needs heavy fiberization. No need to wire up until the customer's home.

I think T company are purposely removing to avoid kantoi/complain by customer, so that they can sell their confuse naming scheme UniScam Lite/Standard/Mobile/Postpaid plan to the end users.

Also good way to avoid competitors to check, and avoid customer to do comparison on coverage like why no expand here or there.

i don't see NTT Asia is that bad.. they still have reputation among Asia countries. Most ISP are getting their transit or peering.

Lastly still better than Unifi routing and speed.

Will this TNB Allo Fiber expand to the whole country overlapping TM unifi and unifi lite area? Or is it restricted to area with no TM coverage only?

Is the package for home using private ip or dynamic ip?

Whether TNB Allo coverage will overlap with T×, no definite answer was given.

For the package IP address, it use Dynamic IP as stated in their website.

Fun facts, my house at Taman Cempaka. I have been complaining and requesting at the same time from TM that why and when and how long does TM need to lay fibre in my area like almost near to 10 years. (can't remember it was like 2010-2012 starting requesting)

Our Taman Cempaka next door got a Majlis Sultan Azlan Shah, RTM Perak, Politeknik Ungku Omar also got UniFi Coverage. (I think they got coverage since around 2014)
Inside Taman Cempaka got one SK Raja Chulan got. (TM agent able to check the Jalan No. 19 got)

Guess what? Yesterday I saw TM leaflet from TM Agent sending in my mailbox and I notice there are Black/Yellow Strips pull standby at existing TM Copper Tiang. As low as RM69 for 30Mbps. Wow how cool is that.

Finally, am I happy? Yes.
Am I going to subs to TM Fibre? NO! Screw you TM. Yet I'm going to potong you.

Because I knew TM gonna try to prevent existing Streamyx users going to Allo due to for the last 2 months, TNB Allo have been actively planning/putting down new Tiang in Taman Cempaka. And I just double confirm with TNB/CBB Allo agent that they are coming either as early as this month Nov/Dec right after they done with the tiang planning and pull the fibre.

Good bye TM. I'm done with your shiet monopoly business. I rather pay more to Allo RM79 for 50Mbps instead of cheap RM89 Streamyx 8MBps or RM69 Unifi 30Mbps.

Mind sharing how your setup is like in Bangsar South? What kind of modem/equipment they provide?

Does Allo provide City Broadband services there or Viewqwest is the sole provider there with their own infra?

they pulled a UTP cable to my office from riser.

the building infra monopolised by Allo, all others ISP need to get consent from allo to get connected to customer, Viewqwest also using allo backbone, i have both allo and viewqwest for my office, both also downed at the same time when the speedlink fiber cut that day.

All HSBB TM, Maxis all rely on allo infra too.

i am thinking to get TIME DIA as last mile, but cost could be high

So it's a central switch on each floor riser with UTP pulled to customer's units right? No fibre modem to each customer's premise like they have in Cyberjaya, Malacca and Ipoh?

All you need to do is just plug your router into the ethernet socket in your office and configure the account to get connected?

when I joined the company, the setup was done for years already, I think that's how it is being configured. I do not see any fiber modem, I only see one UTP cable.

Business 1Gbps involves non standard installation. Probably P2P or non shared port.Maybe they'll supply the customer an optical transceiver for their own customized enterprise router or using P2P managed carrier ethernet like a leased circuit.

Cannot be much more expensive than residential 1Gbps which is just under RM200/mth.
