I'm the first Time Fibre subscriber in my building and I decided to share my experience with Time from my first inquiry right to installation and activation.

So if you guys have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread so everyone else can be informed

Equipment used :

Linksys E1000 Wireless-N Router - very basic wifi-N router
Huawei HG850a GPON - the same as unifi

Photos :

Fibre distribution terminal


Supplied ONU and Cisco WiFi N Router


this is my own router, Netgear WNDR3700 Dual Band Gigabit Router.





Speedtest taken with Boost activated and using my own router as the E1000 was giving me only slightly above 30 Mbps.
i need to do further tests to conclude that the E1000 is giving me slower speeds

cool,
so where the speedtest to oversea?
you know you have to watch things like that either oh
even if 40mbps
if ping isn't favourable..well it isn't favour-able then

Good lord with those speedtest results...

Wish i could i sign up lol... They're never gonna cover landed properties are they?

Pricewise how does it compare to TMNUT's Unifi? What're the limitations of the service (Any FUP etc)?

pergh ? where do u live. ?
how much per month ?

speedtests continued...






i've also added 2 photos of the fibre terminal and apparently has a maxis sticker on it.

I haven't discovered any limitations so far and most of the websites that are blocked by unifi are accessible(eg: rapidshare, megaupload, fileserve, etc)
There is a FUP policy but I have downloaded about 20GB in 3 days so far and my speed, as you can see is still at 100% throughput.

Damansara Perdana, i'm paying RM219 a month.

just quick screen cap of my download speed. as you can see, no throttling

it seem that even time using same lines eh,
well good luck man
its good for downloading i guess
but the pings still need to be fixed

DP box is obviously owned by Maxis with the sticker shown.
How come? Is the fibre infrastructure owned by them?

My landed housing area in Ipoh here also now covered by Maxis fibre right in front of house.They run on TNB poles just like how they did previously in Bangsar Baru.

The fibre cable is green stripped





Refer to my previous dead thread and please help me bump it up once again by leaving a message with comments.

nice .. but when time coverage to sabah? =(

i'm not sure what you meant by "same lines" but afaik Time runs their fibre entirely on their on infrastructure and has different routing table as compared to unifi. As far as latency goes, i ping 15-20ms on most singapore gaming servers, 80ms to japan, 40-50ms to hk and 70-150ms to australia. (tf2, bf3, quakelive)

what *i think* goes on here is that maxis leases their equipment to Time.

i am pretty sure once IPTV hits any part of Malaysia, you will get to experience true fibre optic connection. as unifi is still on vdsl.

1) Can you help do a trace route to a well known US website with your Time account?
I'm guessing their gateway is routed through Singapore somewhere in between unlike TM which uses the AAG.
Time's international carrier uses Global Transit which uses Singapore as its gateway. They are a shareholder of Unity that links Japan->USA

2) You're right. TM and Maxis lays redundant dark fibre for future needs and use.
In one cable there's quite a number of unused strands that they can leased for added revenues.
In excess of pair of 6..
In your case, Time could have pinjam Maxis's unutilzed strands for deployment by paying them rental.

3)Maybe Maxis should make an agreement with SESB like their TNB deal?

you're right!

Hop 9.That's where the latency spiked. I'm figuring it's peak hour now.

For TM, they route to US directly from Malaysia via AAG.

Also additional info:

Global Transit must be peering or sits on the same site as Asia Netcom which both have shares in Unity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EAC-C2C

One of TM weakest link now is their connectivity to Japan. With my Streamyx, the latency is sometimes even worst compared to US servers. The problem is probably due to a missing high capacity link between Japan and Malaysia. Maybe the Cahaya Malaysia cable will solve that.The AAG does not have landing in Japan?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia-America_Gateway

do you know how AAG compares to EAC-C2C?

i get decent routes across Asia and Oceania in terms of bandwidth and latency.

i browse US sites regularly and youtube, so far i'm able to stream 1080p without a hitch

wah is time fiber available elsewhere?

You can refer to TIME Broadband for their coverage, it's mostly covered at condos/apartments and major office buildings, at present there is no roll out for landed properties.

Mostly offices building

Nice, but it's only for 30 hours per month.
How do you activate the boost? Like a switch?

If it launches here, I might take the value package, cheaper than TM Streamyx!!

Probably won't even thinking about taking it... LOL...

ezinger,

Does Time Fibre BB have VLAN settings?

I noticed you could just hook it up to a Netgear router with little hassle.
There's also no additional worries about configuring IPTV and other stuffs like VoIP?

Do you still need a PPPoE account to login or it's DHCP assigned?

there isn't any VLAN settings, only PPPoE. VoIP is configured on the GPON.

ooi!brandon...ping to 58.6.13.3??

tomorrow go your house test test...too boring here...
