For you know they are fake replies from reseller agents trying to promote sales..

Anyone can post in forums.

Fake replies meant to promote and make the demand situation looks like it's moving off shelves. If you are a real customer yourself you know the real situation.

Aiyoyo... Now all the agents coming after me for disturbing their potential clients. Dey wery angry at me for the kacau.

Why would normal forumer or Unifi user get angry with my posts?

The less user the more smooth surfing experience they'll have. Unless they get freebies for promoting...?

Speedtests are all done with local servers...

We should be questioning TM..are we buying packages which are local rated only?

At least conduct tests to Singapore, HK, Japan or LA.
Places such as in Europe such as London, Berlin is understandable la..

Through each subscriber's account settings. Every account created for the subscriber will DEFINE the speed for each VLAN tag according to the package you subscribe.

So for example:

Account For Mr A
VLAN ID: 500
20mbps
VLAN ID: 600
8mbps

Account for Mr B
VLAN ID: 500
5mbps
VLAN ID: 600
8mbps

They won't be able to cap FTTH connections because of passive architecture, so the only way is through software.
So if someone sharing the same FDP as you gets hold of a unlimited speed account, your neighbors and you will suffer very slow speed. The more neighbors get online the slower your line becomes.

My most worried concern is the remote administration settings for new users that comes default on all Unifi FTTH BTU/routers.

An experienced person with insights on how default passwords can do it easily.

What if someone really nasty who spends his time digging VIP20/BIZ20 accounts logins/passwords through remote administration, then uploading corrupted firmwares to destroy subscribers hardware making them unusable? While doing that they buy enough time for themselves to utilize the stolen accounts with their Unifi lines at home? Free lunch?

I'm not sure if they can spoof MAC IDs for their hardwares but reading so much posts about new users having their BTU/router going bad in just days gets me thinking were they actually intentional.

Is there a possibility of bonding multiple 20mbps PPPoE accounts to achieve higher speeds?

How are you going to track the thief when there are say 15 users connected on the same port if say he manages to spoof MAC IDs and the unique encryption keys of the ONU? Normally insiders will have these information or guessable pattern. Installers can always record them into their notebook before handing them to customers.

Con job and untrustworthy...

It has nothing to do with the last mile connection or this is related to TM's bad integration of their VDSL2 equipments to their core network end.

I've seen good ADSL2+ connections with local pings below 10ms in some countries.

Do a ping test here:
http://pingtest.net/

and choose a nearby country such as Singapore/Taiwan or Japan.

You'll end up seeing close results whether you're on FTTH or VDSL2.

Those results which makes a difference is actually TM's own fault of bad local routing setup to their 1st hop to their concentrators(1st mile related).I don't see a good reason why your local connection links should be more than 5ms all the way up to TM's gateway.

TM better get their acts right for their local setup before they blame other factors.

IwanAGP,

Are you using wireless connection between your laptop to the home gateway router? If so that might be the reason of slight increase in ping rates if your signal is weak.

DiGi broadband is slow(high pings) for you is because you're behind thick walls.
I've tried this myself and a typical ping at the veranda is like 80ms(clear outdoor open view). when I bring my laptop with the modem into my room, behind close walls pings can exceed 800ms till 1200ms because of poor wall penetration.

I have mentioned that Malaysian wireless broadband has bad strategy to use the 1800/2300MHz band because they suffer from the poor wall penetration syndrome. That's what the MCMC wants the monopoly practices to be maintained especially our wireless broadband are mainly transmitted from cell towers.

High frequencies such as 1800MHz and above are only suited for indoor/in-building setups where they have micro base stations to cover every corner such as in metropolitan like Tokyo/KL. The right setup for Malaysian wireless broadband requires signals to be beamed from transmission towers is 900MHz/850Mhz below.

High pings above 500ms for wireless even for 4G is due to weak signal strength.

My Yes 4G can get below 50ms with 3 bars above.

Also connection to servers might be a problem. You know isps in Malaysia don't like talking to each other. No point sharing too because companies like TM won't allow other players to get ahead of them on their own network.

Besides that VDSL2 and FTTH does not have significant differences in ping times because they share the same gateway. Only difference would the the 1st hop or the next few before reaching the access concentrators. That's TM problem for poor local network maintenance.

I've said even ADSL2+ can give very good pings under 20ms to local servers with well maintained network.
Look at Demon UK Game Pro ADSL2+ Package with latency optimized lines.

21.99 pounds per month for 20m/1m

Don't over exert yourself in spinning and twisting.

If you're getting very big difference in different local servers, it means they™ can't even get their local connections right. Tantamount to the fact that they're merely selling packages advertising local speeds when local bandwidth should be close to FREE. Local bandwidth should be uncapped.

Your reason of not getting good response time between Unifi and Yes4G might be due to no peering involved between the 2 isps. Like I said, they are rivals and they put up a large wall between their borders.

Sounds like a salesman in the making.

There won't be old phone service anymore once they hook your copper pair up to their VDSL switch. Your copper pair will be made to replace a LAN cable between the VDSL switch and your apartment unit without needing a CAT 5/6 cable to be pulled.

That's the advantage of VDSL2. No need for actual LAN cable to be pulled directly to each home by utilizing your existing copper pair from the VDSL switch at the riser served by a fibre line as a backbone.

Added on October 3, 2011, 3:01 pmThe 10mbps package you subscribed is local rated speed.

Anything outside TM's own local peering servers even unrelated local isps, expect a huge drop in speed.

Depends on the arrangement of your building maintenance. Did your home deal came with telephone wiring provided by the developer? If not then it's more worthwhile for them to pull fibre since copper isn't present.

Just like they do it in Singapore HDB.

Fibre all the way to your unit drop termination is not your responsibility.
