I cannot access http://unifi.athena.my

Did tmnut block it ?

It's back up

What about http://www.strongvpn.com ? It's LPTP VPN any speed connection to UK/US server. Only RM15 per month

They do have openvpn and better encryption but it will cost you more.

55.00 USD = 180.070 MYR Per Annum

Is Rm15 per month.

Sepuku

This is friggin ridiculous. You know tmnut has a website that shows the eta for Unifi for the areas.
http://www.unifi.my/unifi/index.php?option...d=63&Itemid=213

But my area in mutiara damansara, only some streets have unifi. We are using the taman tun exchange which i've confirmed with a few people including tmnut



So on website it says taman tun exchange live Q2, also i know for sure some parts in MD and also Perdana got unifi already. How come they don't know when the infra for my street to go live :/ ?? So that day i saw tmnut people laying black cables and the ftth box what is that? Don't they keep track of their own peoples activitivities ?

Anyone got any ideas how i should go about finding this info. I want to subscribe before next month when they start to charge for installation fee.

Upgrade to 10mb or 20 mb

I never got any letter. but my area MD using the taman tun exchange already has unifi except some streets.

:/

ESR-9850 is much better then the WNDR3700. ESR-9850 has 19,000 maximum simultaneous connections. The WNDR3700 only has 4000. You do the math ;_;


Lan to wan, wan to lan, maximum throughput and maximum simultaneous connections, the ESR-9850 beats the crap out of the WNDR3700.

Also sells for Rm 276 shipping included ;_;


So sure the ESR-9850 doesn't have dd-wrt (although people are saying it may be able to be supported if DD-WRT care to check it out); but for the performance of stock firmware + price winning over the WNDR3700, it's a clear cut case to me which is better

Please do note that the ESR-9850 doesn't seem to have a configurable vlan if you have unifi, however Rivzan has said you can convert the provided DIR-615 as a switch to do the vlan tagging for you, so it doesn't matter that the ESR-9850 has vlan tagging support or not.

I already ordered one, so i'm putting my mouth where my money is

I'm not an expert but for p2p, max simultaneous connection is important. Cauz when you run out of sessions possible, that is when your router chokes e.g. lock ups and needing reboots.

Also when a router outperforms on so many levels for half the price, you'd be crazy not to consider this router. For QOS feature i think the ESR-9850 is quite simple meaning don't expect to have much advance qos control (but i never bother setting up qos, so for me that wasn't a deciding factor).

They do have 2 other models with better QOS features. You can look at smallnetbuilder to see the other ESR one of which can do 40,000 + max simultaneous connections, however is only 100mb ports. The other ESR doesn't have the inbuilt hardware nat, but it has dual band wireless. So take your pick out of those 3 depending on what you need.

You can order from here (it's a hongkong company that does international shipping)
http://www.linkecomputer.com/products/1009...R9850/EnGenius/


Can also order within Malaysia but they charge 3-4 times as much which is daylight robbery which was why i ended up ordering from Hongkong instead.


ps: there are ways to increase your maximum simultaneous connections in thirdparty firmwares like DD-WRT. However it may make your router unstable. But looking at the WNDR3700 hardware specs (Cpu and ram), it looks promising you can increase the max connections just fine. But i didn't want to invest in the router and experiment myself to see what it's limits were. Whereas the ESR-9870 i already know what it does + cheap price + the other performance stuff like wan to lan, lan to wan and maximum throughput (which cannot be changed even with DD-WRT) were the other deciding factors

Yes the ESR-9850 is not dual band but that wasn't what i was interested in. I use it for wired routing :} with minimal wireless capability since i hardly use wireless.

ESR-7750 has dual band but is 100mb port. As a bonus it does 40,000 + max simultaneous connections. Even though it isn't gigabyte ports, it's throughput is more then sufficient for our Unifi 20 mb. Also for lan to lan routing for machines, you can always use a switch with 1gb ports i guess.

ESR-9855G has dual band and excellent QOS because they are using the ubicom chip. They dropped the HNE feature for QOS hardware Stream Engine, so this is the downside. Also seeing as it is a ubicom chip, doesn't seem as third party firmware like DD-WRT could be made for it in the future.

Added on June 11, 2010, 10:16 amIf direct download 1 connection i don't see a problem.

If p2p with many max simultaneous connections, the dir-615 is probably gonna hang quickly. Maybe someone who has unifi and torrented could enlighten us what happens when they torrent using that crappy router

RTN16 claims to do 300,000 sessions. However according to smallnetbuilder, it only does 200. But then again i am not sure if they re-tested using their new method to test maximum connections.

Finally my place got unifi. I'm scheduled for Wednesday next week for them to set it up.

Today i got the brochure explaining about Unifi, so i called up to check if it was available and it was.

Previously they said they would call me as soon as they had it. They never did. They were probably hoping to keep quiet until next month when i would have to pay for installation fees like most unifi users would..... i wouldn't put it past them thinking along these lines

But then again i did receive the brochure *grumble -.-;


My advise, chase them up yourself and don't expect them to revert back to you even though they say they will. They are good liars



And another worrying thing. In the brochure, they still say the cap remains the same as during the Unifi launch. Kinda worrying because they will later use that as an excuse to cap what they originally planned as soon as more people have signed up. I would advise some caution regarding their cap policy for the future

Which i don't

Anyway another good news, seems my ESR-9850 has been shipped. Probably get it next week same time that i get Unifi, just in time


Oh by the way Riv, since my Unifi is being setup, maybe can check whether they are giving a random password to the admin account

By chance will they give me the admin username and password if i ask for it?


side note, 10Mbit = 1.19 MBytes/sec. If you're getting a download speed between 0.9 and 1.2 MB/sec, then that's normal

They never learn their lesson do they

Just when we came up with our own fix to use our own router and fix up tmnuts mess, they screw it up again and refuse to let us use our own router

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Jun 12 2010, 09:54 PM

The biggest open secret why they are doing this to us. Security isn't top of their agenda mind.



Torrent = p2p

P2p = lots of bandwidth

use lots of bandwidth = eats into ISP profit margins

Invest in crappy router and give to users = p2p hardware throttle

= profit g_g;


ISP throttle via their network + crappy router that sux for p2p = they win we lose


What next?



Monthly cap + DAILY CAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Jun 12 2010, 10:24 PM

Question. What is 20mb and what to expect?

To put things into perspective, if you currently have 4mb broadband, that is 512 kb/s maximum speed (although in my own experience, i get max 400 kb/s). So just imagine if you upgrade to 20mb

And don't forget, it's 20mb download AND UPLOAD !!! Which would make unifi a good connection to host stuff. But then again, when cap goes active, you wouldn't want to waste your bandwidth uploading stuff to others..... sly tmnut This is why malaysian broadband is fail with a capital F. Tmnut is too stingy although it is a monopoly and already has huge profit margins

Hope that answers


And as usual, don't expect 100% of that total 2.5MB/s especially for international connections. Our tmnut provider is said to provide somewhere between 70-80% of the promised speed. If they don't, make sure you take the required screenshots of proof and lodge a complaint to CFM for them to whip tmnut into action to correct the matter


@Lucas

Any screenshots for utorrent after switching to your own router? I would be interested to see


Side note: even with better download speed, megaupload/rapidshare etc have download speed caps for free users.





So you probably won't get full speed from your connection unless your using a paid account for those services :/ meh. If you want the minimum broadband speed to get the most out of FREE USER megaupload and rapidshare downloads, then 5mb unifi is your best bet.



Some landed property implementations, you either have poles, or the greenbox. Like my area, all the cabling is done underground so i get the greenbox. Inside it is that ftth white box you see from the pole (i know since i saw them open it up )

Malaysian consumers are just too weak ...... if we were strong (excessively) we would be just like Thailand, and you know what happened to them

But then again there are just too many injustices in Malaysia. We will have to use a soft approach and change through our votes. Vote PKR and hope for change


As for choice, my place now also is supported by metrofon, but they are only offering 2mb fiber .... that is vs tmnuts 20mb unifi. So as much as i hate unifi cap policy + pricing, the competition isn't offering anything much better either, so what choice is there

Make report to cfm

Good info since i also need to terminate my 1mb and upgrade my 4mb to 20mb unifi.

All they told me was i can do that after i got Unifi. But now you provide this info, i better double check again with them.

Those sneaky bastards probably intentionally forget to mention this

Well don't forget to message back on lowyat how the internet is there overseas
