That's an interesting experience. Thanks for sharing your own experience with Maxis on TM HSBB.
Can I have some screenshots or links to post where people discuss this ONU configuration and speed capping would be helpful for reference purposes. Hard to understand the details for me about deprioritizing LAN ports issue without something to reference to. If you can share, I appreciate it very much.
You bought up good point there but then, won't the MNO themselves are eventually becoming the shareholders of DNB? So if DNB gets complacent later, isn't that essentially saying the MNO themselves aren't pushing for innovation or improvement on DNB?
And this ties back to your point about 3G/4G failures being MCMC fault due to regulation. My question is, if the 4G era was a competitive market between MNO building their own networks, why did MNO still need MCMC pushing them so hard on basic coverage and quality standards? Shouldn't "competition" naturally drive innovation beyond just the bare minimum regulated standard?
If MNO in a competitive market still need MCMC to force them to improve coverage, and with DNB having a wholesale network can potentially become complacent according to you, doesn't that indicate the issue is not with the network wholesale structure but perhaps MNO lack of innovation beyond coverage from the MNO themselves? Why is it always everyone fault but the MNO get the free pass to be complacent?
In my opinion, DNB wholesale network at least forces the MNO to compete on plans price and services because coverage should be a basic requirement that all MNO and consumer deserve to get. With DNB, consumers get the benefits of competition through cheaper plans price without sacrificing coverage, something that "competitive" 4G era didn't manage deliver effectively based on the pricing and coverage issues I saw.

Go and read the Maxis fibre topic, the Digi fibre topic in this forum. There is also the ditch ONU topic which you can easily find in this forum.

Yes, the MNOs does hold equity in DNB, but partial ownership means their ability to steer DNB’s priorities is limited. Decision making as wholesale network is dependent on DNB as a central entity. Now all MNOs to have the same way in managing and running telco with slightly little room to innovate according to their own business outcomes. If DNB underdelivers in terms of network quality, all MNOs will face the same problem.
Coverage expansion into unprofitable or rural areas often requires regulatory push, which MCMC has not done well by letting telcos get away with minimal compliance and a small contribution to the Universal Service Provision (USP) Fund.
Just because MNOs needed regulatory pressure under 4G, doesn't mean a monopoly structure like DNB is a superior alternative and can deliver better outcome all the time. DNB levels the field on coverage, but beyond that it is also important to look at service quality, latency, new features, and infrastructure resiliency which each telcos will have their own plan to deal with.
