u probably know there's a lot of people who turn on their modem 24 hrs and dun bother to off them.anyway u won't even know whats the stage of 'overheat' for modem/routers.unlike PC which have temp monitors

i learned this from my installation. Now i help my friend to help to plan for installation. you can do the same then get an external contractor or friend to do for you.

The path of installation usually same. The most important is the fibre optic cable from outside after the router you can customize how you want. if you wait for the TM contractor to come they will slaugther you kao kao.

if you plan to pull network cable then buy the cable ready its about RM30 - 25M then u let them charge you labour. The rest you supply.

You provide the path you get them to do termination and setting up only. They have devices to test the quality of the line and stuff so dont let them give u bull crap reasons.
Alternative you can get a good router like Asus RT56U and a 300mbps wireless adapter its as stable as wired for my test.

My case they quote me labour Rm150 + network cable RM5 per metre

TM contractor = Labour RM150 + 25M (RM125) = RM275 just to pull a 25M cable

External =  labour RM100 + 25M network cable ( RM30) = RM130 just to pull a 25M cable.

Guys, need info from some you here who terminate their Streamyx acc after installing Unifi. How did you all get back your deposit? Do they minus from the last outstanding charges just like the phone line termination? Im getting mixed information from TM staffs.

I pay using ocbc cc, can pay via ocbc internet banking or occ.
Pay via occ is more leceh as u need to put in cc details and get verification code, blah blah...
ocbc cc gives 5% cash back on bill payment...so like got discount on unifi for ~RM10 every month (VIP10 here)...not bad lah.
