I move to new home, I apply relocation of unifi from old home to new home.

Previous owner already pasang unifi there, have the existing fiber optic cable.

TM installer come, plug in noise reading machine, say existing cable reading is not good (noise level = Low), have to rewiring, wanna charge me RM60. i say ok fine, as long as it is working well.

After changing new cable, plug in noise reading machine again, say reading still not good (noise level = 34db), have to replace splitter (so-call the port) at fibre DP box.

After replacing the splitter, test the reading again, it is still not good (noise level = 26db). They said they replaced another splitter again and test, not good though.

Now they say have to do the wiring arrangement again because there is too much of bending wire.

What to do???

LOL that is all broadband install SOP to die die try very hard to charge extra.

Are u staying in high rise or landed? Why would FIBRE have noise?

FYI fibre cable bending no issue as long as NO PATAH. if PATAH means totally no line at all..

I subscribe TIME and installer charge RM300 then i said by right got free cable 30Metre (or 15M cant remember) start from door to modem.
They call their boss and said confirmed count starting from door, so they re-measure again and this time says RM150 (RM160 discount RM10) i paid them lazy to argue.
Then i measure by myself and found out its way way below the length and straight send email with evidence to TIME.
Installer called me after few days and said come to measure again...after measure refund back CASH to me.

TM staff sohai one. I rage quit on them after using their service for years. Ask come fix problem say my problem ok la then say since you accept calls frm TM KL 3 times I am charging you rm54. He only came 2 days in row and check wiring using a small box each time 5mins. I complain through phone through live chat through email scold KL said I will challenge the bill. Now a month later my final bill doesn't seem to have that charge.

Yup RM50 charge IF fault due to customer problem. IF hardware problem then no charge.

installer's side income.

Yup.

Imagine 1 house they charge RM60. and 1 day they do maybe 5 house? that will be RM300/day.
1 month 26 days (exclude Sunday) so RM300 x 26 = RM7800

OK lah maybe some subscriber smart like me no kena tipu...say 10 ppl no kena tipu that means RM7800 - (RM60 x 10) = RM7200 side income

RM7200 maybe they need to share with 2-3 parties = RM2400 side income.

Add their fixed salary maybe RM2000 ?? they getting RM4400/month per person.

they outsource their fiber laying service.. even time also.. they dun lay their own cables.. they get outside contractor to do it

U mean ISP? Yeah i know.

But if fault is out-of-premise then its not chargeable to consumer but charge to ISP.

i think coz from their point to the house is not covered by their warranty i think.

ya for now no wifi. but my parents got a lot of quota tu burn through. just wifi is needed to ease the netflix and the software update.
anyway will be transferring that account to my new house in a couple of months. and will be applying new account for my parents house. since i asked tm if relocation no charges. and if new installation is only minimal charges. i think still worth it la kot rather than pay 250 just for that cable.

Dont care as long as any issue outside of house is not bear by subscriber.
