Landline phone uses copper. Any clue how TM will manage it?

TM always drag their lazy a$$ on this fiber topic.
More so if the subject is a high rise location - where the taichi game starts

TM will claim that they have issue LOO to the condo mgmt etc, but no replies etc - then the push here push there action goes on and on. Even if you lodge complain to MCMC the same reply will be given...at most time TM have never issue LOO to condo mgmt body.

Why? I dont know
Perhaps they wanna milk you for a 30Mbps or max 50Mbps service

i already change to fibre from copper

speed get upgraded with lower price, of course re-contracted 24 months.

so far no long downtime and not often.

my case from request to change fibre til installation etc, took 2 weeks. their technician will suddenly call you and tell you they arrived. lol so called appointment date all not accurate. just take note of this.

after install fibre cable, need to wait for another technician to come to change my modem and configuration etc.

cannot be done in one shot.

Infomation is limited on this Tm Cdma, obsoleted?

Actually it makes more sense for TM to replace copper line phone with Unifi Mobile etc than Onu-fiber, only if they able or willing to port the landline no to mobile. Not unlike SG since decades ago.

I changed my current house copper cable to fiber cable on 01Nov2021 as TM offer FOC upgrade to Fiber connection,
and after changed I decided to switch to Maxis Fiber higher speed broadband since Maxis provide good offer (RM30 off for 12months)
Maxis Fiber came installed today and the configuration is only took <1hour.

and this is the connection speed I can get (using CAT5E LAN Cable) :
[attachmentid=11056940]

Wi-Fi connection is about 5-15% slower depending on house location.

Overall I'm satisfied with the upgrade.

HSBB Maxis Fibre and only 6ms ping? that is quite low and same as unifi, as i know, HSBB any 3rd party fibre ISP has around double 1st few hop ping.

I think because of using ethernet cable?
Wi-Fi is about <20ms ping..

My advise for TS, better proceed and upgrade to optical fiber. You will regret in the future since nobody know what will happen in 10 years later. Copper line will be abandoned in the future. The future world is all about gigabit networks.
