still looking for answers.

I don't use megaupload or rapidshare so I can't tell you. Youtube upload is definitely over 1.3MB/s, rapidshare from what I can see as a free user is only 200-300KB/s.

As for your own router/modem, it's what we've been discussing for the last 10 pages or so.. so you can just refer to that

Added on June 13, 2010, 11:56 amAnyway just settled Lucas's problem. TM did not disclose his PPPoE pass and the router seems to be working fine but it was malfunctioning for some reason. Still on 7.05 firmware and default username/password combination, something could have happened when it went online.. who knows

Hmm no wonder i couldn't access my router...

Thanks Riz for solving my problem.

Strange, i can access my router now, even with the WAN port connected to the FiberHome. (using the same PC this morning, i cant get access to 192.168.0.1)

@dick1971

Still having problems accessing your router?

@Lucas

I started the router without the WAN port plugged in, then I logged in and disabled the TR-069 feature + secured the other features.

yeah, i noticed that. Thanks a lot for the assistance. TM ppl will wonder why they cant connect to the router anymore. Backup-ing my router settings at the moment.

waiting for uniFi to be available at my area is a painful process..

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 )

the telephone pole with the FTTH box looks so "clean".. compared to their korean "cousins".. hahaha... no wonder internet is cheap in Korea, maybe because of the mess of the wiring there??



anyway, a quick quest, recently fried my router which was wayyy better that the one tmnut gave me.. i am looking into a new one, something that can download torrents, media server n also dualband for some HD streaming to the tv.. budget is rm400-500 or below is even better.. any suggestions?? saw someone's suggestion on the linksys, but its a lil above my budget..

Tonite's scan results:



Server banner is back on, but with few additional ports opened

Well, it's cheaper because they don't have to dig the ground to lay the cable. Same in Japan.

@Lucas

I did a port scan when I was checking it, it looked identical to mine.. none of those extra ports. Might wanna check your PC or something :3

TM went the absolute wrong way by pushing for TV services over IP.(IPTV)

They could have streamlined and make things easier by delivering cable tv over a separate band and use regular PPPoE accounts for internet allowing other isps to share their data network instead of dividing portions of their services by using virtual circuits(VCs).

Look at other countries GPON implementation. Their ONUs have RF ports in addition to network and phone ports.



With that your VCs are well taken care off.Just connect to the internet like your ADSL accounts via PPPoE.
Singapore's NBN is like this.

If they do that they'll get competition
Since the government gave them virtually a freehand in implementing the Fibre network, from what we can see anyways, of course they want to do something that makes it hard for competition to exist.

It's not TM's fault in doing so, they have their shareholder's interest in mind. It's the Goverment fault for not doing more to prevent this from happening.

That RF port id supposed to connect directly to your STB. It doesn't affect your internet experience at all since both services are entirely on different wavelength/bands in comparison with IPTV which shares bandwidth with your internet. TM divides the bandwidth using virtual circuits to give you guaranteed resources for IPTV.

Then again TM does not have existing cable tv infrastructure like Starhub in Singapore.

Still unable to access, dont want to try and error bcoz i dont want to mess the setting, not like streamyx close one eye also can...last time using streamyx with wrt610n no problem,but now few time have turn off my airport off and on again to able to surf internet using macbook

I'm wondering how much power we can get from the router's usb port.

Powering a cooler pad, probably can charge devices as well?


Safe or unsafe?

uh...i dun understand why do doing this stupid thing.
i tftp it, change a bit my modem config...then hohoho!

but seriously, i will not recommend ppl to subscribe unifi, the service and rules just plain stupid

but but but do we have other choices ? no.. so no matter what we still will have to subscribe to unifi if we want higher speed...

unifi is key for high speed but it just to expansive not to mention not covering whole malaysia.....
