i love my speed

           

they aint gonna pay if they break ur roof..

im not sure if this is normal or not.... but this is the speed ive been getting since i install unifi few days ago. ive been doin speedtest.net for every few hours for the past 2 days and tis is the speed it shows?? my package is VIP5......

Can we directly connect WRT54GL (3rd party firmware) to the BTU without using the router that provided by TM and keep the IPTV?

You won't be building FTTH in kampungs anytime and those who live in highrise buildings still use copper to deliver Unifi utilizing VDSL2 tech.

Things to also note. Did you notice what kind of wiring is used to connect your Unifi fiber ONT to your router and also to the network card of your pc?
They are made of copper too.

Until one day fiber is pulled directly to the network card of your pc, they'll still call this fiber to the premise(FTTP)

Unifi 20mbps is nothing to shout about anyway. Copper can still do that if TM were wiser to start replacing those old phone switches with remote fiber fed phone cabinets.Instead they only went and spend most of the money building their FTTH networks only in a handful of areas.

Understand that Unifi only offers upto 20mbps speeds which is nothing to shout about. VDSL2 can do even better at 0.5km with similar upload speeds.
Yes they should start replacing all the copper wiring from nearby phone switches to fiber fed cabinets/remote DSLAMs before thinking of FTTH to speed things up.It doesn't take much to convert to FTTH from here once you build a extensive fiber network just like many countries like Australia, Thailand and even South Korea did from their humble start.

It costs way more to pull fiber straight to your door than to nearby phone boxes. With ADSL2+, getting 16mbps is not an issue within 300m radius.Heck, even at 1km you can still get 10mbps with ease.
50mbps is possible with VDSL2+, given VDSL2+ and ADSL2+ can work together with ITU standards.
There's even a never VDSL2+ tech which could bring your speeds upto 300mbps using a phantom pair between 2 pairs coupled together.

How many of you guys could get REAL 100mbps connectivity to your homes yet at this point? 
That's a good reason why Singapore isn't even hurrying on their OpenNet launch.
They're aiming for a correct model for open access instead.

They are not releasing it yet and it is not going to be released anytime soon. By opting for VDSL2 for high rise buildings this hints that a 100mbps package is still years away from being released.

By the way VDSL2 is a direct P2P connection unlike GPON which splices a lead fiber upto 32DPs.Your lead fiber only allows upto 2.4GBps of bandwidth to be shared among all the splicing being done.It pretty much works like a cable modem where high fluctuations are expected to occur during congested hours.

VDSL2 is a direct connection which allows guaranteed bandwidth to the port which your phone cable is connected to.

It's all about economical feasibility. When you can bring fiber as close as 0.5km to most premises you could save considerably instead of pulling the fiber directly into buildings.You wouldn't see much difference between the 2 solutions because TM won't be offering speeds beyond 100mbps for years to come as proven by their step of choosing VDSL2 for some high rise buildings. TM is just wasting lots of money doing so and only limit the service availability to only a handful of areas while still calling it a commercial rollout. They could have saved considerably by just using remote DSLAMs fed with fiber all over the country in urban areas and major cities for the time being.When time comes where they choose to offer speeds exceeding 100mbps one day, all the need is to extend the already extensive fiber network to inside homes instead.

You mentioned copper could no where compete with pure fiber but is there a need at this moment?The speeds being offered could also be offered by copper phone wires with minor modifications to roadside phone switches. How long would other people have to wait for FTTH to arrive at other cities should they maintain at this pace of rollout?

We are already way behind even our neighboring countries where 16mbps DSL is already rollout to the mass. They even have 50mbps packages in metro areas.

You may want to know how much cost savings can VDSL2 offer compared to a FTTH setup.
It's way cheaper. No need to pull new wiring, just your plain existing copper phone wiring will do as modifications are kept within the remote DSLAM cabinet. The modems are similar priced to ADSL2+ modems which are widely available in the market.
In years to come should the need arise to upgrade beyond 100mbps or 1gbps, their fiber network should be extensive enough to justify such upgrades while cost of equipment drops over time.

sigh the wifi connection dropping from the router is killing me. tm ppl came to the house and change a new unit of the router and later came again and decided to put the blame on my pc's torrent configuration crap. the thing is even if im not torrenting im still disconnecting and now even ps3 online gaming is getting more and more tedious.

and rizvarnp i can't seem to use my own router by following your guide. the router's configuration is somewhat different from what i see from the guide. help please..?

i am having the same drop line issues... and i hardly torrent... so is this an common problem with the DIR-615?

As for today... mu UNIFI is still down for 1 BLOODY WEEK!!!!!

I got call from TM asking me to reboot the equipment last friday but I wasn't at home. Today, I came back I rebooted the equipment as instructed.. to my horror.. the TM DLink now is officially down! The power linght remain "orange".

Called CS they ask me to wait again...

Anyone here managed to use your own router to replace the FUGLY DIR-635??

Yupp.. my VOIP Phone is working.. only Internet and IPTV is down...

i just got my unifi install on monday. haven't figure out how to use the port forwarding anybody can give me some guide?

i set it as rizvanrp mentioned in the V4 thread but not working la... hmmm..... i did something wrong

which area of puchong u from? ur ping a bit high to kl.....shud be ~10+ ms

Guys I followed rizvans guide to use another router with dir-615 as vlan bridge, it worked for 15 minutes and it's dead again now, dir-615 just wouldn't start, it has this blue light by the side and that's all. I am gettin too frustrated bout it, it's the 8th day I subscribed and 4th day it did not work. Is there by chance a router that can totally replace the dir-615, and works perfectly with iptv as well as the hsbb. I've called tm for a router replacement, but if they're gonna replace me with that crap, I better off get a better one for myself. Stress...
