No Unifi service, only Streamyx available in Taman Merbau Indah (Dec 2013)

After Unifi service got roll out in Raja Uda residential area for 1 year plus, the fiber optic broadband service still not yet available in Sungai Dua Butterworth area. Insider news that Unifi will make available in Kepala Batas and Bertam. For Teluk Air Tawar area, it might highly possible available as it in between the connection from Raja Uda to Kepala Batas & Bertam. Anyway, it still not sure Sungai Dua will get the Unifi service. 

Currently, the only fixed internet broadband service available to Taman Merbau Indah residents is Streamyx ADSL. The maximum available speed available is 8Mbps. Currently I am on 4Mbps Streamyx package. For wireless broadband services, the available providers are YTL Yes 4G, P1 Wimax, Maxis broadband, Celcom broadband, Digi broadband, and U Mobile broadband. For Maxis, Celcom, Digi and U Mobile, only 3G available and no LTE coverage yet.

YTL Yes 4G covered Taman Merbau Indah, Sungai Dua Butterworth

Checked YTL Yes 4G official coverage checker page, Taman Merbau Indah Sungai Dua, Butterworth is in Yes4G Wimax signal coverage. Counter confirm with my Huddle XS, the indoor coverage pretty good, as most of the time get green to yellow signal strength. Previously only able to get indoor coverage (1 to 3 bar out of 5) with Yes Zoom hardware. If you would like to subscribe Yes 4G as backup internet plan, you may do so. Although Yes 4G not a good broadband provider for heavy user, but if you're light surfer that not doing movie downloading, or watching a lot of video clip on youtube.com, this might be your option. Head to http://www.yes.my for more information on postpaid & prepaid plan.

Snapshot of latest coverage map from Yes 4G website. The whole Taman Merbau Indah is in coverage.

Placed Yes Huddle XS indoor and the signal indicator showed green (strong). The CINR value showed 26 (CINR value >10 will be good for most surfing). CINR stand for Carrier to Interference & Noise Ratio.

Another snapshot with Huddle XS at middle of terrace house at Taman Merbau Indah Phase 2. CINR value showed 20.

Will investigate in future where YTL Yes 4G installed the base station for the coverage. Initial suspect might be from Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Dua, or Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Desa Murni. As Yes 4G is official broadband provider and online education portal for 1Bestari.net project by Jabatan Pendidikan Negara, so Yes4G provider got the green light to place Wimax 4G antenna in government school area. If you have kid study in primary / secondary school, the parents might get FREE Yes4G account too, but you still need to buy the connecting hardware from your own pocket. This is the reason Yes 4G do not cut price for their hardware, as it a mean for their revenue. Do share to me, if you are using Yes 4G or 1Bestari Net account, would like to know more about it.
