And then there are 6 phone sockets in my houses. I guess it is pretty much become useless after I install Unifi and cancel regular phone line?

No i heard some1 actually wire 1 RJ15 line from their fiber modem to 1 of the sockets in your house and all will work as normal. but i pretty sure u need to cut your landlines first before doing this. Also u can buy additional cordless phone put around the house but does not need a socket each as it connects wireless to your main base set. Also the DECT phone TM gives is GPA compatible so u can register different brands of phone to the base set not only Panasonic.

Depends on what u want to do with your internet. Mean while u could try go for 4MB streamyx at the cost of rm140 and still keep your landline number, no drilling more simple then unifi setup.

U get unlimited download but throttled on downloading certain things. It will be like this and TM will come up with new ways of doing it as they give u unlimited cap.
Upload speed is limited to 512
Simple setup mean u can easily use your own router. TM give their ADSL router as well but didnt hear much problems with it.

Unifi on the other hand
Currently unlimited in future some sorta limitation will be put no1 know what yet.
Ping is very excellent 7MS good for gaming, skype
Upload + Down is same speed so 5 Mb both directions
very poor CS if u get problems with this unifi. U get plenty of headache trying to get them to do something. If all is fine u should be ok

One last thing u can go for 4MB streamyx and switch over to unifi when u feel like as its considered an upgrade so u are not tired to any contract. BUT not the other way round or downgrade back to streamyx.

Yup a contract of a certain time period with TM means that u cannot totally run away from them during that period of 1 or 2 years. does not mean u have to stay on that all e.g. 4MB all the time and u are able to upgrade to unifi anytime.

Added on August 16, 2010, 11:14 pmYup Streamyx 4MB give users a special IP addrress range which other lower package streamyx will not get. this IP is better and fast then those other IP and get better speed to international sites. Just like unifi also another special range of IP. i think is because of your IP range they give u which makes the difference in ping time not the actual technology just because its fiber better then copper but not too sure on that some1 correct me if u think otherwise. in the UK i use ADSL 2+ 20Mb speed getting 17Mb and ping is around 20 in comparison to streamyx with 90 ping

No i am pretty sure not. its a standard practice that warranty cover from they day u buy or get the product.

Nono what i mean is it will cover from the day u got unifi till one year. so during that 1 year u can replace broken one as required.

My 3rd router now and this 1 seems good for over a week no crash nothing. working like what i expect it to. i just hope it be like this for a long long time.

1 more thing i have a feeling TM will come out with new package of unifi maybe few more month or a year with higher speed since the system can support alot more speed then 20Mb. also the 5mb might be replaced by 10 at the same price. just like block buster deal in comparison to 1mb 88 streamyx. TM wants as many people on fiber as possible as the spend the money to build the system

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

Cap only on internet. nothing else counted not TV not phone. and only download from international sources not upload

at least 300. But i have a feeling they might not do this and so call extend the promotional period. its common sense that putting an installation fee will just put people off subscribing and it will be a waste wiring up the national when little people use it. if they already wire up your street why make it difficult for people. but yet again i do not know wat TM is up to BTW

Not very sure wat u want out of your VIP5 not clear to me. but anyways u can use your old phone socket for phone only purpose after its disconnected, just plug 1 tel line from your fiberhome into 1 of your house sockets. The fiber home socket must stay where it is as u cannot extend your fiber cables on your own but they do give u few meters i guess that it. if u want move your dir 615 u can try using those home plug ethernet to link it to move it to other parts of the house this uses your electric cabling to transfer data.

Any of u noticed connection quality not very good past few days. I did ping test and i am getting unstable results. I got grade D for one of my test and best of Grade B. i even got ping about 100 for one of them then next test ping is 11. wat is going on. i restart my router just to make sure its working its best.

One of my test packet loss is 2%, jitter 26 ping 18

Any1 getting poor ping, jitter from pingtest.net I am getting poor connection. Not sure why my post is deleted yesterday about this ?

Yes i always get 0-2% packet loss i do not know why. also sometimes i suddenly get a burst of high ping up to 100 ping to local servers with high jitter.

I don understand how can there be packet loss when i am using pure fiber. Attenuation should be extremely low as this is the main reason why fiber is use over copper but still data being lost on the way some where. But maybe it could be from its IP core system in other words their main central system. yet again this should not be the case. Problematic for dota (flying spaghetti monster) and skype.
