QUOTE(DrPitchard @ May 20 2012, 10:46 PM) Yes, you need a phone line to install Maxis Fibre Home.... :-) Or rather, that fibre cable that they pull into your house will be your phone line
Added on May 20, 2012, 10:57 pmSince there has been a few PM's to me on the speedtest results, I shall post it here then for the benefit of others:      Mine is the old package of 6Mbps, installation done early this year. Phone line not necessary right? I live in link house and they just pull the fiber into my house. I cancel my previous phone line. For condo not sure about the installation. |

tempted to the RM118 promo, can I use my own DD-WRT router instead of the router provided by Maxis?

Not too sure about the channels. Will know only at end of June. It should be the Astro IPTV decoder. QUOTE(ryudell @ May 20 2012, 09:20 AM) I thought unifi VIP10 package have a download speed of 1mpbs? 30 channels basic that astro normally offer is it? (like rtm1,2 n etc)? Comes with decoder? I also want to know this if cn download using torrent
Added on May 21, 2012, 9:43 amAccording to the FAQ, it will be RM118 forever. Unless after 2 years there are better package, then can switch. QUOTE(wodenus @ May 21 2012, 02:30 AM) And then after the contract ends, what will the price be? |

This new package is very interesting. Only last hurdle before deciding is whether they throttle torrenting or not. Even lets say if they start capping bandwith (100GB), do they throttle torrenting?
Thank! ^^

Same goes to other telco mobile operators, I guess. This post has been edited by DrPitchard: May 21 2012, 01:20 PM |

For condo not sure about the installation. Yeap, you are right, just have to pull fibre cable. For the benefit of others who have very basic understanding of IT, my 'phone line' above refers to the a physical line, as some customers are confused if it is a fixed line internet or a wireless internet. For condo, they will use existing phone line and won't pull fibre cable into your unit. VDSL into the riser only. |

M seems like pushing some config/settings into the Thomson router on and off... SoM has much control over the Thomson router...I doubt you are able to replace it with another personal router of yours. |
