meaning 1 address only can register 1 fiber only?

It seems so. Because TM do not allow 2 services running at the same time on their infra. That's why nowadays cannot run Maxis and Unifi at the same house anymore.

SG Broadband penetration rate is already over 90%, IPS have to find a way to sell more broadband  biggrin.gif

And actually no point to have same broadband service in a same premises, when it is down time both also down. You can apply 2 different ISP in a same premises in fact.
example Unifi + TIME

Forget about Maxis, because most of the time Maxis are using Unifi infra, unless Maxis do have their own infra in your area.
*
For majority of the household, it is not possible to have both Unifi and Time. Just look at Time's coverage and you'll understand. And the rest of the ISP mostly riding on TM's infra.

thats new, last year I using my friend house and register maxis, then bridge the LAN 2 via Wireless

Now cannot. If you register for another ISP running on TM infra, and you have current Internet running, they will ask you to switch instead of installing the other service.
Previously you could register for Maxis while Unifi is running and vice versa, then terminate the other ISP once your installation complete. That's how some people end up having both Maxis and Unifi running at the same time.

Actually 5G and fibre broadband investments don't clash with each other. Both of them cater for different array of consumers.
For example, are we going to use 5G as the corporate office backbone network where thousands are connecting to the same network concurrently?
Are we going to expect 5G to cover the connectivity that needs extremely low latency like the banking network system or online gaming?
5G experiments of data rates varies greatly across different countries. 

5G afaik is a much better version of WIFI than current 4G with much wider coverage. And that is all to it. Also, the adoption will mean that new equipment like new phones or devices are needed to connect to 5G network.

The ISP that solely relies on 3/4/5G alone are doomed to saturate themselves with smaller and smaller pie for themselves. 

Personally I prefer the fixed-line fibre broadband for stability and always-on connectivity.
*
I agree. With 5 years down the road and our 4G is still unstable, I don't see 5G replacing our fix broadband at least in the next 3 to 5 years. Fix broadband is still the best.

Yes that's why I mentioned earlier they acted in silos. The fiberisation efforts are minimal and limited in scope as compared to our wide area of land mass and population.
That's the reason they still receive complaints after complaints from home fibre broadband customers because these telcos still rely on TM infrastructure.

And that's more of the justification to form a consortium among themselves to compete against TM together with TIME and TNB Allo.
*
This should be the way during the formation of HSBB, which is to form a consortium and build the fibre network instead of awarding it to an ISP. But oh well, our country head in the wrong direction back then.

during transition period also cannot?

for example if i want to terminate unifi and sign up celcom, cannot have celcom connected before i terminated unifi? like that will have downtime rite?

worst case if one's area has fibre ports full, during the transition if terminate unifi first, the port maybe taken by others rite?
*
You have to use porting process. That is you register with new provider and submit transfer ID to TM. Your Unifi will run until the day the new ISP comes and install the service. It's like MNP.

I see. Thanks.

For DiGi, needs to go to DiGi store to do rite?

Same for celcom?
*
Yes. I don't know if there is any agent can do the whole process including submitting transfer ID to TM. So better do at center.

It's the Malaysian government's fault to allow TM to monopolize the wholesale fibre infra in Malaysia by subsidizing them with their RM10B HSBB buildout.

At the same time, they allowed TM to operate their own consumer RSP UniFi brand to compete with other players on the HSBB.

This open access structure and idea is a total FAILURE to begin with as it allows the wholesale operator to favor its own ISP brand and dictate others with its pricing structure/implementation.
*
So let's see how the combination of Maxis, Digi and Celcom fibre infra will work out in their 20 years collaboration. This could give some serious competition if they are willing to expand and not focus on specific segment of society.
