Thx richard912, then it's bottle neck at 10/100Mbps even though the homeplug is 200Mbps, can the homeplug be connected to BTU ? what is the transmission speed of BTU?

How much are they selling approximately? are they selling for pairs?

110e is probably best bang of buck now. the extra money for the plugpoint is not worth, might as well get ur extension.

I think Aztech homeplug can work on different phase as well. My house is 3-phase but I have tried in different power points and they all work.
Don't buy the Gigabit version yet, it has manufacturing defects. Aztech said they are working on it and new batch should solve the issue. The current batch making very irritating humming noise
Anyway, IPTV only need 8 Mbps even for HD channel, so the 200 Mbps homeplug should be fine.

No cap = Throttled like 4MB streamyx.
no cap also mean certain people will download several TB a month.

I support having cap. I just want the cap to be higher with an option to upgrade your cap in the future.

Ok, i see, what will be the cap per day or cap per month?

2 hours movie in DVD dual layer is approx. 8.5 GB, if you watching average 4 hours internet TV per day alone without PC internet, that will be approx. 17GB per day.

Monthly will be 510GB per month or 0.5 TB per month.


Correct me if I am wrong from the above assumption ?

OK lets see, what you mean is as per the setup below :-

Huawei BTU @ LAN1 => WAN @ DIR-615 => DIR-615 @ LAN4 => STB(IPTV)
Huawei BTU @ LAN2(With PPPoE WAN Setup and Running) => WAN @ HP-G300NH(without any open source FW) => LAN1-4 Ports => other devices

If so then yes of course it would work, my guide is for people who don't want to use any VLAN tagging on the WAN port on their own router devices. Also the setup above is what I am currently using as well. Of course I'm using a different model of router which is my WRT54GL.

If my guide is not clear or there are some improvement needed do let me know via PM lol... as my English language used in it might not be clear or there might be some grammar mistakes lulz...

Where did you connect your home plug, DIR 615 or BTU? but you only get 10/100 Mbps though a 200Mbps homeplug ?

I received the Unifi bill today. I get a shocking discovery. They charge when you call the 1-300 number!! Last time, when I used the Streamyx which also have free call to TM fixed line and they do not charge when you call 1-300 number.

I called the Unifi centre and the Customer Service Confirm to me that they do charge the 1-300 number under special number. What the hack is this!! The 1-300 number also a TM fixed line and moreover the owner of the 1-300 line pay the charges to TM when we call the line and now TM do a both side charge. They really want to make money out of it. I told the CS of the Unifi centre that they better provide us the normal 8 digits phone number so that when we call them, we no need to pay. Now when you call the Unifi Centre's 1-300 number from your Unifi's Voice line, you have to pay for it !!!

You need a pair of homeplug, one at your DIR 615 connected to LAN4 which is reserved for IPTV, the other one at STB. True, if you use the 200 Mbps you get 10/100 Mbps ethernet connection, but that is good enough for IPTV already. I think you can get like 20-50 Mbps through this homeplug if your line is clean. I am using the Gigabit Homeplug myself, I think I am connecting between 80 to >100 Mbps because my homeplug switch between 10/100/1000 and 10/100 (blue LED and green LED), although 70% of the time it stays at Gigabit.

A net book cooler... But where would it get power from?

@klgoh thanks for the info. Memang jahat la TM

lolz lucky i just get 1 Billion BiPAC 8200N VDSL2 modem/router from tw friend and working perfectly without additional router devices but only with 100mpbs Lan port

1-300 line = local call rate for the whole malaysia
1-800 line = free

Just got my first VIP20 bill. A whopping RM548..
Totally forgot about 2 months in advance bill.

Thanks akerue, YGPM.

The DIR 615 has a USB port in front

I seem to get very low upload speed from kepong *view signature

What?
How come my first bill is only 148.90? Or do I get double charged on my 2nd bill?

Here's mine....and I'm on VIP5 only
