So, it's quite likely that Fiber Internet prices will come down in Sep 2023. Hopefully Mobile 4G/5G Internet prices will go down as well.

telco tower fiber backhaul not using HSBB fiber network.
MSAP rates not relevant

You dont want during TM fiber cable cut, mobile phone 2G 4G 5G also down no service


TM fiber for Touch ‘n Go PayDirect and RFID payment not connected to HSBB fiber network too

I don't think you are correct, .......

https://www.malaysianwireless.com/2015/05/u...ervices-4g-lte/ - U Mobile to use TM Next-Gen Backhaul services to accelerate 4G LTE rollout - 27/05/2015
Under this collaborative deal, TM will be providing fibre mobile backhaul connectivity via its TM Next-Gen Backhaul Services (NGBH) of up to 1Gbps per U Mobile base station that covers Central, Southern, Eastern and Northern regions of the country (except East Malaysia).

U Mobile will be deploying 1,000 4G LTE sites this year.

TM NGBH is a fiberised point-to-point backhaul connectivity network that is able to support 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) rollout in providing high speed Internet experience, excellent voice and video quality through its high bandwidth capacity and reliable low latency. This collaboration will facilitate ramping up of U Mobile’s capacity, hence accelerating its 4G LTE rollout nationwide, it said.

TM said it is a neutral wholesale service provider and is committed to supporting the growth of telecommunications industry as well as is working hard towards delivering an enhanced service experience to end customers.

By leasing wholesale bandwidth services and leveraging on TM’s strength on its nationwide fibre coverage and resilient network platform, U Mobile said it will be able to gain quick access to fibre infrastructure to support its future network capacity demands, to deliver affordable and high-quality internet connectivity to more Malaysians. ...

Also, in the above disrupted TnG and RFID payment case at DUKE highway, DUKE's business subscription to TM Unifi Fiber is also via TM Unifi Fiber buying (in-house) from TM Fiber HSBB Wholesale but at very much discounted MSAP rates, ie compared to wholesale prices sold to Maxis Fiber and Time dotcom. Similarly for the backhaul 4G LTE-Fiber Internet connections for TM Unifi Mobile & Celcom-Digi vs U Mobile, YES and Maxis Mobile.

NB - Both TM and Celcom are GLCs or state-owned businesses.

https://www.thestar.com.my/tech/tech-news/2...e-says-mcmc-coo - 2023/05/09 - dnb-to-be-taken-over-by-a-private-entity-after-achieving-80-5g-coverage-says-mcmc-coo
PETALING JAYA: Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) will be taken over by a new entity following its scheduled achievement of 80% 5G coverage by end of this year, according to MCMC.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) chief operating officer Datuk Mohd Ali Hanafiah Mohd Yunus confirmed in a Bernama TV interview that the government would be withdrawing its stake in DNB when the transition occurs.

The move would turn the government-owned 5G wholesale service network operator into a wholly private company under the new entity.

He further stated that two entities would be formed – one to take over DNB operations, and another to take charge of the country’s second 5G network planned to be established after DNB achieves 80% 5G coverage.

This comes after Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced that the country would be shifting to a dual network model last week.

Fahmi also said the shift would allow for services to be provided at affordable rates, increase network capacity and avoid having a single point of failure. ...

Will the government be holding a controlling Golden Share in DNB1 after divesting it's stake in DNB to the celcos, eg as in TNB, TM, MAHB, MAS, POS M'sia, Felda FGV, MISC, PLUS, etc .?

Latest Update on DNB's 5G; .......

https://www.thestar.com.my/tech/tech-news/2...e-you-on-5g-yet - Malaysia’s 5G mobile dilemma: Are you on 5G yet? - 16 Oct 2023
Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil reported a digital gap, with only seven million out of the 45 million mobile users in the country having 5G-ready devices.

However, according to Fahmi, only about 2.49 million users have made the jump to 5G, highlighting a significant discrepancy between the number of Malaysians capable of utilising the network and the ones actually using it.

This comes despite the country’s achievement of 70.2% 5G coverage of populated areas (COPA).

For individuals like Nick Tan, a trade management specialist, the need to transition just seems unnecessary at this point in time. ...

Sebab many people still hold on their lte devices obviously

Jump to 5g phone kena buat lah migration data, tukar bank settings, tukar this and that, maybe wait for suitable time to migrate lo

DNB's 5G Wholesale Prices and TM HSBB's (Fiber) 2023 MSAP Wholesale Prices, as set by MCMC, have not translated to cheaper new phone plans or cheaper new base (100Mbps = no more 50Mbps) Fiber plans.
....... IOW, the telcos/celcos have maintained or increased their prices and instead compensate subscribers by giving them free speed upgrades or more data or more hotspot data = no choice of cheaper plans given, eg no UNI5G Postpaid 49 for RM49 per month for 60GB High speed 5G+4G, 10GB hotspot, etc, and no TM Unifi Home Fiber plan for RM69 per month at 50Mbps, unlimited data, etc. .......

https://www.lowyat.net/2023/312045/unifi-un...unlimited-data/ - Unifi Announces UNI5G Family Plans With Unlimited 5G Data
Only if you sign up before 31 January though. - 1 Dec 2021
.... Paying RM129 a month gets you 150GB of hotspot data and one free supplementary line. This goes up to 200GB with two supplementary lines for the UNI5G Postpaid Family 159, and 250GB with three free lines with UNI5G Postpaid Family 189.

It’s probably worth pointing out at this point a number of items on the fine print. To start, the unlimited data is locked to the principal lines, with each supplementary line only getting a 30GB monthly data allocation. The same goes to their hotspot data allocation, which is also limited to 30GB. ...

In addition to the family plans, Unifi has so updated its postpaid plans for individuals. To start, the UNI5G Postpaid 39 has its hotspot allocation bumped up to 30GB, the same as the regular mobile data quota that the plan affords subscribers.

Then there’s the UNI5G Postpaid 69, which will be replacing the old Postpaid 65 plan. For the extra RM4 a month, your hotspot allocation is bumped up to match the 60GB monthly data. You also get unlimited 5G data for two years, but only specifically for 5G, as data consumption via 4G will be counted towards the usual 60GB monthly limit.

Finally, there’s the UN5G Postpaid 99, which will take the place of the old Postpaid 89. Like with the family plans, you’ll have to sign up for this before 31 January to enjoy unlimited data. Do so after, and you’ll have a 100GB monthly data allocation instead. For what it’s worth, like the other plans, hotspot data allocation now matches the amount you would normally get per month. ...
