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

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 ?
