could it be your office building's problem that is beyond maxis?

this test was done against MY servers (as in KL, CYberjaya, seri kembangan) or outside world? Darn good speed to start torrenting..hahaha..

While business package may enjoy public IP, home user should double confirm with Maxis again whether you are getting public or private IP. So , to Brotan, all of your queries can be said 'possble' only if Maxis gives you public IP!

only + for Maxis FTTH compares to Unifi so far i have noticed is the ping time from speedtest.net, Maxis is faster by 20-30ms by testing several locations (MY, SG, HK, etc.)

sorry i wasn't aware of any downtime at my home's maxis ftth..so unable to compare.


Latest news published in local newspaper's finance section mentioned about maxis's outlook in the ftth market sector. Apparently, the ftth sales promotion isn't attacting enough... The 'cap' is lifted but only till the end of the year, and that will surely be losing out to its nearest competitors(u can guess who of course) who have yet to announce when the 'cap' will be turned on. Hence, overall not a very bright outlook to 6012.KL in the next quarter or so...

No quota for next two years is surely new... Best is to ask them what kind of Black n white guarantee is available.

good call... but still if Maxis could, by default, gives everyone a public IP like what unifi does, this would be wonderful and it sucks no one anymore..

if you need port-forwarding in your ps3, you may have problem then.. Maxis is generally giving out private IP and based on forummer's past experience you can't do port-forwarding in maxis router..

I doubt so.. ports opening in private IP is always forbidden..otherwise, what is the purpose of controlling us by giving us private IP?

This is not a known 'extra security', this tips must have been found out by a fellow forummer... Usual subscribers have to call, ask, and perhaps begging, to get a Public IP..

3. the phone, it is a VOIP Phone.. So, the phone is as good as dead if you turn off the ftth.

Added on December 15, 2011, 10:01 amapparently, the maxiss promotion flyer indicates that maxis mobile user will get additional xxx free minutes of talk time if you subscribe to their ftth service...So if you are existing ftth user pls call them to activate for you?

I have got their 'kindness' to change mine into public IP indeed, but it wasn't as simple as just giving their CS a call, it was a long and hot heated route.

And beware that the gateway itself will get rebooted or the public IP will get refreshed at times even if you turn it on for 24x7, so you need something else (dydns update) if u wanna use it for security cameras..

your torrent screenshot has this <!> at the bottom righthand corner.. that seems that your IP is still a private one? Mine is public IP so i'm getting a "Green Tick Mark' at the bottom righthand corner..

You may try this to change yours to public IP..

Very simple test to confirm whether urs is private or public. Try to do a remote access to your computer at home from ur office.. If u can access ur home pc(connected to Maxis) then it is a public IP already.. U won't be able to ping ur IP if yours Is a private IP..as simple as that.

But looking at ur torrent speed I'm pretty sure it is a public IP..

Also, private IP will give you different IP every few minutes!! Try to do 'whatisyourip', if u see different IP everytime u refresh ur IE, then that is private IP.

no, i don't mean everyday, i mean every few minutes!

anyway like i said, the easiest way to test is to remotely access your pc at home...that's the easiest way..

There is certainly no limit and no throttle for now...

mx510, i don't know why you are relating mobile 3G services to this FTTH.. Mobile 3G will get you throttle plus extra charges when you exceeded that xGB of data...it is OBVIOUS. But Maxis FTTH has not been imposing this, why continue insisting that they do?
I've been paying RM158 for 6GB since last year to maxshits, and I've consume at least 6TB since Aug last year..still I'm paying 158 this month and getting full speed daily.. Hope that ends your misunderstanding here.

obviously you need more harddisk space now...

hi all techies..

as u know the current configuration of maxis' ftth is :

"huawei ONT -> thomson router (Lan 10/100T, wifi 802.11b/g/n) -> devices"

As i've fully used up the all 4 LAN ports available on Thomson, I'm considering getting a switch to attached to the router now.

my questions is, I'm subscribing 6MB line now, would I gain significant LAN speed if I were to use a gigabit switch? The config would means :

"ONT->thomson router -> gigabit switch -> devices"


Or, it doesn't matter, just get a usual 10/100T switch will do?

btw. Difference between a gigabit and non-gigabit switch probably is only max up to 50 ringgit now...

your valueble input please.
