Hi all,

I am seriously considering to rent a unit.

However, seek info from those who are currently staying there on the following:

1) Is Astro Beyond HD now available?
2) Any P1 or Maxis wireless bband users? How is the signal like?
Understand that being a YTL project, YES 4G is being made as the only option, no unifi/streamyx and maxis fibre. But YES is wayy to expensive IMO.

Sincerely thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the details.

Would have to consider further whether this place is worth renting.

I mean a good internet yet affordable shud be a norm these days and also if no Astro HD, maybe not worth getting the PVR with super pack then.

Anyways, thanks again.

Yeah, no unifi / maxis fibre is a real put-off to be honest - i am one of those.

many would not consider to buy / rent this place due to this coz thinking of the restrictions to a basic need like internet access.

Oh, and no Astro Beyond HD is a put-off too.

Nice place, bad service offerings.

well, p1 is another 4g provider, but oh my, lets nt go there coz their coverage are terrible.

Dont think YTL would readily allow other providers to place their cables, infra.

If unifi is in, obviously maxis fibre wud be as well, which means more no's to YES 4G.

As for maxis wireless bb, i tried at a frens place in MF the other day, but his modem is the most basic range, i tink 3.2mbps max capability i tink, but yet can achieve 0.5 - 1mbps, tho not so stable.

suppose if opt for the portafi modem which capable of reaching 21mbps (according to Maxis numbers), hence we are looking at 6 - 7 times of 0.5 - 1mbps, so perhaps thats nt bad, ie. min 3 - 6 mbps.

but dunno whether it is tat good la coz havent tried the newer maxis modems range.

and oh, gonna be a zombie la if wanna utilize the off-peak of 36gb quota, or maybe download movies at that time, leave bittorrent on overnight, haha.

im rather concerned on the internet coz scared cannot play enuff dota 2 on weekends, hahaha.

wow, that's really good news, finally MF dwellers can enjoy HD i/o oldskool SD

as for internet, really think maxis wud be better, i mean better quota and i tink reasonable coverage + discount for postpaid cust.

Better still for those if already hav ur own mifi modem (mifi 42mbps type), hehe, planning to get 1 directly from huawei, so no contract, just 100/myr upfront payment but rebate 10/myr for 12mths (120/myr total rebate).

haha.

agreed.

Hi dude,

Please elaborate on your claim?

From a tenant's perspective, where can u get sub 1.6k place with decent interior + landscape + facilities?

Plus, it is somewhat close to the city / midvalley.

Any lag if playing dota 2? also, what exactly does define good days? timing?

and oh, whats the average on not so good days?

thx.

dota 2 wor.. nt dota 1 man..

Cannot compare bandwidth usage and in-game interface between the two.

haha.

but i tink tat it block A right, ie. the orange building.

block b and c nt soo near 1 to HTC.

read in another forum p1 also gt coverage..

dunno hw true tat is.

any p1 user at MF?

from website, coverage is out by abt 200m.

but sometimes still can get i tink.

thats y wondering if some existing p1 users moved to mf and tried it.

yea.. burn hole in pocket even faster, haha..

10gb of data (150/pre-paid or 168/post-paid) is like 15days use max of non-intensive internet usage..

bring in unifi pls..

hi fellas, just wondering abt the security phone (so guards frm guardhse can call unit etc.) - similar to solaris dutamas.

does all unit get 1? my fren is tenanting a unit in block b, dont think he has the phone, should he ask mgmt office or his owner?

thanks.

another concern is that exits from lobby area of blocks should have a switch for a quick exit.

imagine ur stuck with no access card to exit during emergency like fire etc.

knew some other condos where mgmt eventually changed to switch for exits due to concerns during emergency.

any one care to highlight to the mgmt?
