Allo customer service is really bad. I guess that's where they perform cost cutting to provide cheap rates.

So Allo sent this technician, who said that he wasn't able to get laser signal at MDF after he spent 2 hours. He suggested to replace some fibre cable and he said he could do it for RM100-RM150. This didn't seem believable to me because Unifi works fine on the same fibre cable. The PON light is solid green on the modem, when it's connected. If the signal had an issue, it should have been red.

I pushed back a bit. And the technician simply replied that I should ask the building management to look at it. The building management said that the technician needs to be present so that they can see the issue. The technician kept dodging me and missing appointments after I told him that. Then when he finally came again after missing 3 appointments, when I told him that I am going to get the building technician to help, he just told me that there's no need. And miraculously, this time the signal has no issues and he was able to get it installed in less than 30 minutes.

So what do you think? It seems like this technician was trying to scam me to get that money. While Allo believed the technician and kept telling me I need to ask the building management to fix the issue first before they send a technician, even though I had already told them that the management told me the technician has to come first before they "fix" the supposed "issue".

its common as most of them are vendor. luckily it happen to you and the technician unable to earn something hehe.

Are you switching ISP? normally the installer need to do some adjustment to the mdf room on G level and also the same level ( afaik room name is ELV room). Mine also kena during CD installation, riding on allo. 1st the tech adjust fiber on mdf room, then 2nd time they adjust something on room nearby lift which label elv room

Moved to new place. Previous tenant had Unifi. But previous tenant left his router and modem at place. I turned on the modem and was getting green PON light, which from what I read, means it can get signal on the fibre which should at least mean fibre cable is fine. But technician said he can't get signal from my room at MDF, and fibre cable have issue.

It's installed finally now. 10 days after I applied. Speed is also good. Although I am confused. Speedtest show close to 200Mbps. But I signed up for 100Mbps. Is Allo trying increasing speed cap when it detects that I am doing speed test? Because download speed when actually downloading files seem to be 100Mbps.
