FTTH Distribution BOX

FTTH: Fiberoptic To The Home. It’s here. We’re just waiting for blast-off. This junction box in Bangsar Kuala Lumpur is just waiting for activation. It was released as a trial in Sri Hartamas Kuala Lumpur way back at the end of 2007. But with the recession setting in, everything slowed to a snail’s crawl. Well, snail’s pace taken into consideration, it seems that things have picked up again.

FTTH translates to Max Speed of 100Mbps. And yes, we know that maximum speeds are always a myth, especially with the involvement of a telco with a poor track record. Realistically, we can actually hope for 50Mbps. The pioneer areas with FTTH in Malaysia, as shared by the tech guy at Telekom Malaysia, would be Sri Hartamas,

FTTH is relatively new and Malaysia would probably be one of the early birds jumping on the bandwagon. With everyone’s interest more centered mistakenly on wireless Internet, it’s good to know that some fellows have been thinking out of the box to move toward stable and fast wired connections.

Malaysia does have some other fiber-optic ISPs, but with the backing of a larger telco like Telekom Malaysia, its FTTH will rule. Other fiber-optic ISPs so far in Malaysia are: Cyberjaya Metro Fibre Network, CMFN; Metrofon; Penangfon; and Time Fusion. These cover smaller areas and, relatively, may not have the infrastructure to grow as fast as FTTH from Telekom Malaysia.

Do note that all FTTH area have been installed a throttling devices means TM.Net really enforced the fair usage policy for Streamyx and FTTH because this FTTH will be the bandwith hunger, so far no ideas how much TM.net will charged for it  monthly.  Means this area will be capped for excessive usage of bandwith usage. That’s why TM.Net rewrite their fair usage policy.
