TdC Fiber Network

It seems that TIME/TdC has a well-designed infrastructure! Wait, first of all : I currently don't affiliate with TIME, I'm not a TIME's marketing engine, either :-D

TIME dotCom's 100% fibre trunk network comprises not only of main and terrestrial fibre optic cable route linking the major towns of Peninsular Malaysia but is further complemented with submarine festoon fibre optic cable back-up systems with landing points around the perimeter of Peninsular Malaysia.

Another good point : TIME has provided its network map as you can see below. Even TM or SINGTEL don't provide such a thing (yet?)! :-D ... Some other notes:

• TIME's Information Super Highway was a project with a capital investment of over RM3.8 billion
• Its regional fiber optic cables are running along the major highways and complemented by submarine fiber optic cables along the coastlines, augmented where necessary with wireless, digital microwave and satellite connectivity
• Its land-based fibre optics stretch over 3,600 km in Peninsular Malaysia with lines criss-crossing the country and connecting into the main network along the 850 km North-South Expressway

• The submarine fiber optic cables totaling 1,624 km are laid along the coastline of Peninsular from Pulau Langkawi, Kedah to Kota Bharu, Kelantan connecting to 25 coastal sites.
