Hmm not sure if it is really TNB or not, but i've contacted City Broadband through the number on their website and they said City Broadband will come to my Taman very soon.
And today there is Maxis staff come to promote their Fibre plan at my Taman and they said my Taman is using TNB Allo infra, but haven't fully set up yet, so they will provide a dongle for me to test only.
I also asked them about their upload speed which is only 50Mbps for 100Mbps plan, isn't TNB Allo infra able to provide symmetrical speed? I guess it most likely is not TNB infra.
Well at least my Taman have fibre support no need use snail Unifi lite
That's the wonder of open fibre networks, ISPs or they call RSPs in SG can sell packages with different speed rates as they want, just that if it's unattractive people might avoid not choosing it.And today there is Maxis staff come to promote their Fibre plan at my Taman and they said my Taman is using TNB Allo infra, but haven't fully set up yet, so they will provide a dongle for me to test only.

The reason why Maxis is fixing their upload speed to 50Mbps is because they want to synchronize their plans across all networks including TM HSBB and Celcom Timur Sabah(CTS). They don't want some group of people suddenly marching to their centres protesting of unfair practices and why they sold them slower upload speeds on TM HSBB etc.
However here are the differences between the ISP plans on Allo.
1) With ASTRO Broadband, it might seem cheaper than Maxis Broadband with 50Mbps symmetrical speed and bundled ASTRO basic plan bvIPTV with PVR set-top box that allows recording. Early termination penalty is steep at RM1500.
2) Maxis Home Fibre is the most expensive here which is the same rate as their TM HSBB offering but the early termination penalty is a lot cheaper at RM500 with offer to have a home fixed line for just an extra RM10 with unlimited local calls(fixed/mobile).
There's a hidden and less promoted plan by Maxis though under the brand Hotlink Postpaid & Fibre Bundle.

For RM99/mth you get 30Mbps symmetrical + Hotlink Flex Plus 60 mobile line under the same bill bundle.The Flex Plus 60 account plan alone is already worth RM60 which is really a very good offer which means a symmetrical 30M FTTH plan only costs RM39 more only.
3) City Broadband. They offer symmetrical speeds across all plans upto 1Gbps. Most will only subscribe to their data plan but you will need a separate call plan outside.
