Hi ... how do u define full speed ?....the advertised speed refers to : FROM yr point (ONU) TO TIME's center.

TIME does not block torrent, p2p or any site....

Hi, may I know why my ping from speedtest.net base on Malaysia server alway in the region 16-36ms and I never get it below 10ms like ? the forumers here.
I'm on Astro IPTV 10Mbps.

Whr's yr location Bro ?

Many reasons would cause this... usually the OLT nearest to yr premise play an important role.

Have u tested yr neighbour friends' ones ? Need to rule out whether this is an individual case.

Finally got my TIME connection yesterday. I subscribed to the 8Mbps package, with the intention to upgrade if (and only if) I find the service to be sufficiently awesome. Here is my preliminary review.

Installation

Time
I got a call last week saying that the crew will be coming at 2pm. At 2pm yesterday, I got a call from the crew informing me that they are now "pulling the wire" to my front door and that it'll take them 2 hours to get there. I'm not angry or anything - that means I have 2 hours to take a nap - although I have to wonder why it'll take 2 hours to do this.

The actual installation in my house though, takes about 3.5 hours and involves them drilling twice - once to get the cable into my apartment, and another time to get into my room. I would've preferred it if they just came in through the bedroom window (overlooking the garden), but.. meh. At least they did patch up the wall after the drilling.

Crew professionalism
No complaints here. They are polite and unobtrusive. Near the end of the installation, I can tell that they're getting tired, but they didn't cut corners, so it's a huge plus.

So overall, it took a bit longer than I liked, but it is an otherwise okay experience. Now, for the main event...

Performance

As stated earlier, I took the 8Mbps package, which means in theory, I can download (and upload) at a maximum rate of 1MB/s (1 byte = 8 bits mah).

Speedtest
This is where it gets weird. Using TIME's own speed test app in their website, and also using the speedtest.net page, I'm getting 8Mbps/16Mbps (Malaysian server). The 8Mbps is fine, but I can upload at twice the maximum speed? Well, more speed = more awesome, so yay.

At speedtest.net, I then chose a US server (a random one, I think it's in Syracuse), and the speed dropped significantly (forgot the exact figure, it may be 200kbps, or 2Mbps?), and the ping shot up to +200ms. Not good...

Torrent
But here, speed tests are useless; it's fine in theory, but what about practical usage of broadband? To try that out, I started to torrent two things - a recent anime release from TT, and also a game (for "research" purposes.. heh heh). The anime is 300MB in size, the game 12GB.

I am happy to report that for both, I'm getting speeds close to (and in moments, reaching) the theoretical maximum - 1MB/s. YAY!  thumbup.gif
IRC
I only tested it once, and I'm only getting 500KB/s. Now, it may be due to the user I'm leeching rather than my connection though, so bear that in mind.
MMO
Running retail version World of Warcraft and without using a tunneling software, I'm getting latency of 174ms. Which means HOLY SHIT I CAN NOW PLAY WOW! As reference, I'm usually getting 220ms with my old Unifi connection with tunneling.
The verdict so far

TIME is awesome. But to be fair, it may be because there are very few subscribers in my building - and I am told that my building is the only one with TIME connection (wonder what the developers did to persuade TIME), and there is no guarantee that, when more and more people starts using the service, the speed will drop.

But for now, yes, TIME is awesome. The price is lower than Unifi, and although it doesn't come with TV services, that's fine because I DON'T HAVE TIME WATCH TV.

Will report back my experience in a week, and then maybe after two weeks and a month, just to see if this winning streak continues.

Glad everything went well Bro....Cheers smile.gif

Hi Scolaris,
We r not able to use the phone yet. The technician told me dat he will contact me next week to set up the telephone. Guess they have not configure the voip in ONU yet.
*
Hi Bro....

Pls check whether the VOIP light is on ? It must b ON in order for yr phone to work.

If it's ON, then connect the phone line to TEL 1 port at the back of the ONU.

I believe yr subscription is Internet only without astro right ? If so, the Installer shld hv done it on the day of installation.

For IPTV voice it take vry much longer time as you need to wait for TIME to remote configure for you.

Hi jjj2,
I did not find any VOIP light in the ONU.
I got 2 light constantly on which are Power and PON.
Another 1 light is blinking which is LAN1.
LAN2 - LAN4 no light cause no cable plug into that port.
LOS also no light.
Tel1 and Tel2 also no light cause i didnt plug the phone in.
*
VOIP light not light up means they have not configured & not Voice not yet activated.

The Cordless Dect Phone once sit on the dect, the Tel 1 light will not ON, when you take up the handset to make a call, then only Tel 1 light will be ON. But VOIP light must be always ON.

Hey guys, i have intention to apply for Fibre Home Connection. I have checked coverage on official web but how accurate is that ?

As the place is in PJ, Sungai Way to be exact. It does not show availbility how sad? The entrance to the condo itself has a Time Fibre Connection warehouse.

Are there any time agent or staff here can help me with ? If coverage is confirmed i am certainly applying.

Location : Park 51 Residency (condo), Sg Way, Seri Setia, PJ, Selangor

USJ One only got FTTO (up to 50Mbps).

500Mbps is not FTTH or FTTO...that is a dedicated line. This dedicated line can go up to 1Gbps.

Hi jjj2,
No wonder i'm not able to find the VOIP Light, my ONU different from yours.
My one is Huawei HG8240.
I attach the picture.

However i manage to find this information in Huawei Website.
Seems like TIME has replace HG850a with HG8240.

Hi Bro...yup the new ONUs u cant see the VOIP anymore...so need to use phone to test... when the Installer gonna come over to configure for you ?
If you have the Service Order (the Order paper they used to configure for you during Installation), then I can guide you to configure the Voice settings.

If not, then you have to wait for them to come over, or u can chase them by calling 1800 18 1818... Customer's complaint is the most powerful..LOL smile.gif

Hi Bro... yup TIME's packages are vry price competitive & its stability & performance outperformed the rest !

The only drawback is the coverage.... Ipoh TIME has Leased Line coverage at Green Town area....FTTH & FTTO not available yet.

Hi Bro...Yes I have but you still need the infos such as, SIP ID, password, SIP Server details etc.

You may chase them up by calling TIME Helpline...

By right for GPON (FTTH), the Installer will configure the Voice on that day of the Installation. I don;t know why they didn't.

I just got back from my place, it seems that TIME will set up your phone after the initial line installation (in my case, after a week). I don't particularly care about the delay, since I don't have anyone in particular that I wanted to call (;_;), but just FYI for new subscribers.

The whole setup takes about 15 minutes. The phone quality is fine, and at least the phone looks nicer compared to what Unifi would give.

Apart from that... no further updates. Internet connection quality is as good as always. I think I'm running out of things to download.

Hi expert here, Astro IPTV user here, but Astro still working, internet no longer.

My hand itchy the other day after buying a new AppleTV 3, want to put in VPN unblock-us DNS to for router but forgot id/pw to router, so itchy hand reset the Cisco E1000 router to default so tot can set the DNS after getting back the admin/admin id.

Can set up wifi back no prob, also put in the DNS. But the internet dropped.

Initially forgot to put back to PPPoE, and the user id/password. Now even put back correctly the user id/password for AstroIPTV, still cannot connect to the internet. do I need to put anything in hostname etc?

Have I not done anything step?

1) I have unplug all cable, blow clean the fibre optic, shut off and turn on again all hardware. Astro works fine, meaning the fibre optic should work fine, but still cannot connect to internet.

I can see my own dedicated static ip from the time.net.my selfcare page, kept saying not connected.

Please help.

Hi Bro... TIME Internet is fairly simple to setup. Just get ready yr TIME Account (Astro IPTV Account) in your case.
Then fill in to the PPPOE section of yr Cisco E1000, there's no need to fill in hostname & there's no need to fill in DNS.

Thanks.

After the Installer finished installing, they usually will write yr astro iptv account for you on the docket form for you to sign.

Use that account to login to http://selfcare.time.net.my to boost.

But I can tell for sure with the 100% Fibre (the only provider in Malaysia who's doing this) whether for FTTH, FTTO..the stability & speed is very much guaranteed smile.gif
