just because its better for you doesn't mean its better for everyone else.

some people use the internet for themselves and don't need the quota. do you even know what demographic means?

Thx for the info. Not even Unifi contractor can do the extra mile like this. Currently using VDSL instead of Fibre for Unifi.

Guess we all have a different idea how an ideal internet service should be

No use pondering about it since most of us won't get the Time Fiber anyways...

"A number of broadband Internet Service Providers in North America and Europe introduced bandwidth caps in the early 2000's[citation needed]. The same practice has been in place in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and South Africa since the release of broadband. Data caps on internet in New Zealand result from many popular websites being hosted in the United States, hence local ISPs must lease international capacity; a proponent of a second international cable to the United States claims that cheaper international capacity will result in ISPs raising their data caps."

clue card.

Hey bro, i downloaded not only from download.com. I tried many other websites and all give me bullcrap speeds. Even my streamyx 4mb package can download files at around 200kbps from the same sites i tested.

With streamyx 4mb i can stream youtube 720hd without buffering.but with time 10mbps, youtube videos keep buffering at 720hd . My streamyx 4mb is so much more faster than time 10mbps.

I dl torrents using my 4mb line can get 300-400kbps . With time, i can get 200-300kbps. Wtf right?

Everything i do online is slower on time which is why i have cancelled time 10mb package after just a few daysusage and applied unifi vip20 already.

Time might be 100% fibre optic . But somehow streamyx with copper line still gives much faster speeds! Cant wait for unifi now!

@mamapapamsia

Well, I am streamyx 4mbps user b4 also, and same can't be said for streamyx though. I need vpn just to enable p2p run at higher than 20kb/s, and streaming, tough luck. Streaming, especially the live one, can just disconnect in between now and then, not to say a quite high ping (probably High Rise Building) for gaming. But in the end, different location has different speed, so can't really say much, some area Unifi are good (friends from damansara experience good speed there, while pj quite unstable). Customer service wise, I have to admit some of them are quite not that knowledgeable (I called the CS 4 times, and all of them say my place is not covered, LoL), but lucky I got one contractor which is nice, hehehehe.
In the end, all ISP is on best effort basis, if they can't, then they won't. Maybe its not ur luck to use Time, but enjoy your Unifi, its also not bad.

download.com is a terrible site

perharps you should use Internet DOwnload Manager, it will push your download speed to Max, higher Download speed than most of the browser downloader

Speed with IDM

i know.. but this mama guy has issue that other time users don't have and he doesn't post screenshots...

Just a tips,

I checked using firefox that if you use auto-proxy setting, the internet become quite unstable, choose no proxy on firefox.

Yeap, different location different results i guess.. Just choose what is best for u

Yes tat's quite fishy... I told him to try some things like using cable connection & contact Time so tat they wil send technician over to check on the fibre sc connectors & cables...

no reply from him watsover...

YES, TIME fibre optic sucks!

4 downloads from 4 different websites including local site and speedtest.

Here is proof im using TIME , also included is me boosting the connection to 30mbps and the exact same downloads after boosting and speedtest after boost.

god damn, another dumb user...

clue clard, "parallel connections" "incoming server"

please use a download manager and stop making yourself look silly.

thanks

true, even my Unifi cant get the full speed with single connection. I use FDM(FreeDownloadManager) an open source IDM alternative and has been getting full speed regardless of the ISP I am using. Jdownloader is another good open source alternative

I have tested this on my friend's Time connection and FDM is getting full speed as well. give it a try

He is using the Astro broadband package, I think that might be some factor as I think most user in this thread is the direct subscriber package from Time, not thru astro.

Another thing, don't expect full speed out of boost. Boost is really only effective on parallel connection, that is if you share your connection with another. With boost of 50mbps, at most per connection I got is around 20-30mbps, that is thru fast server like MSDN or Youtube. You will experience better if that boost is used around P2P connection, especially encapsulated with VPN thus create a fast routing network (This is just my assumption and experience). Not that you need to spend another VPN for that.

I find it quite strange on your Dell download, I download at speed around 500kb/s. Just my suspect, maybe try to turn off Astro Decoder, it may saturate the bandwitdh/connection limit. Just my assumption, maybe IX bandwitdh for Astro user is limited compared to those suscribe directly to Time. Try to contact the customer service through email, for me this is the faster way to approach them.

1. astro package and time package no difference. iptv/vod is on separate vlan.

2. you don't need to use parallel connectivity to achieve max bandwidth, you can do that with just a single connection provided that the server/network you're downloading from do not impose any policing.

3. the farther the server/network you're reaching, the lower the throughput. google for tcp window and latency.

Guys, how is the service like for TIME broadband? seems pretty reasonably priced for their packages.

I'm interested in their 8Mbps package

Thanks!

You would like us to speed test some server for you? Just post the link, and maybe we can try to give the screenshot. Then it is up to you to decide.
