for me timenet is doing a good job so far..
i have no complaint at all..very very very seldom breakdown...
infact like once in a blue moon..
their customer service will attend to u stright away not like streamyx.. u can wait and wait and wait still no ppl attend to u

i am using homenet 256..
can say not bad at all... i can play w3 without any lag.
dl stuff also ok le... for a 256
i can get 30kbps during the night for me la.. i not sure about others..

of couse if u want speed.... then u can consider streamyx but then their service that they are providing i not sure le..

if u want reliability then u can think of timenet...

killerboy,
Thanks man. Actually, my condo comes with Time Infra. 3 choices for me. Jaring Wireless, Webbit and Nethome.

I had connection problem with Jaring Wireless(old apt). I am still prefer wired technology. Then I will go for Time.

Thanks for the input. Anyone else willing to share some info.

Thank again:)

even hardyboyz888 says timnet rules..far more better then JARING and of course TMNut........

Prasys,
I believe so. For the customer support time is the best so far. Since I am new for Time, need to do for survey(reliability) b4 proceed. As you know, Jaring wireless needs to sign up 2 years contract. That's sonsider long. Time needs 6 months subs.
All the ISPs are the same. It depend the reliabitily and infra. For end users, they use QOS to shape our traffic. That's why they have commercial package. They have bigger trunk go out even though we are sharing the same network. Money comes first!!!!

anyway, thank prasys.

I have to agree with you. Bear in mind , even at slower speeds..They allow p2p , which is a plus point...compared to Jaring Wireless (even you can download at speeds up to 200Kb/s , and sometimes 0Kb/s...you can't use BitTorrent)

wuahahaha... the price almost same with Mango.net that i'm using... i thought i'm the one paying the highest monthly fee broadband.... hehehe

timenet hold malaysia also can use?

Darkmage12,
What do you mean?

nope , limited areas..you must be in the coverage zone !

ei timenet got webbit and homenet? 1 is wireless another is wired?

Yep...Webbit is wireless and HomeNet is Wired..But HomeNet , its SDSL..upload and download..the same !..Nicce , I dont really care about the download..but the upload..w00t

why? you upload alot? of u host game alot?

I do upload a lot..Yes , and this Jaring max upload is 128Kbps and I get aroun d 56-60Kbps..which is kinda slow for hosting websites , shoutcast server.....

he must be a heavy user:) For me, as long as uptime 90% with reason speed. I am happy.

Wow u using Mango, how is it? I'm still waiting for it.. they never update their website even contact number also changed or something.. everytime call also 'number u have dialled is not in service'

prsys! who use jaring wireless cant use BT? y? how bout jaring wired? same like wireless oso?

nope..wired i heart can't also....all same.....btu some people said they can bt..i think they allow bt now..soon it will be blocked

I will pay more for stability anytime. streamyx cacat one.. guarantee break down 1x / month and each time around 1 week mischance.

are u sure u got no problem with this?

rm150 -> 512 kbps(mango.net) rm88-> 1mb (streamyx)

My place was under Maxis line.. that's y can't apply for streamyx... if not..i would go for that long long time ago...

as I said , the reason why I'm using crappy JWBB , because of stability , nothing else..but now it seems to be "cacat" once they moved to flite..hopefully they will fix it

flite is new modulation?

omg why they r doin good in wired broadband... but their wireless is so sucks... for online gaming 100 percent lag no matter ur playing US server game or malaysia... fark time webbit broadband man...just hope mango come to BU area... as i can see someone using the mango broadband is satisfy... dang my area...

Surelah , Wireless always sucks..even jaring it lags...its just normal for wireless to have high latency

Hi all,
I think wireless technology across the WAN link still new. You guys have to wait for it. Also, wireless problem is very subjective. We can't really tell what's going on? We might conn by customer support . Personal opinion, I still prefer wired technology. If no choice..then wireless..

Luckily, my condo got HomeNet(time). Yahooo!!!D

I am confident to say TIME will have 99.9% uptime..

Hardyboyz888,
Yeah. I will go for it. That's ROCK. Really appreciated your input man.
BTW, how long it's going to take to activate it(ur case)? According to Time, 14 days. I might apply upfront before I move in.

eRm... I didn't use HomeNET.. I'm using TIME Webbit... 1 working day activation..

i feel like wan 2 change my streamyx to timenet now

d FUSION package is nice
reli got 10Gbps ah??

Fusion probably for corporate users =.=;

oh well, im satisfied with my webbit wireless [384]
the only downside is that no hope for online gaming n unstable irc dcc transfer

but normal surfing n bT no prob

i think Time users should have an official thread too

the pricing is case to case basis

Tat is Time Backbone speed.
U only can get a part bandwidth from it.
If u wan 10Gbps,can also.
rent all the Time backbone bandwidth,
but may be will charge u RM10Million per month.

can consider 3G service too.
cause Maxis 3G service only RM120.

latency is going to be a killer...+ no p2p..I would pay RM 150 then RM 120 + extras for 384Kbps...

3mb for corporate account is more than enough. They shape our traffic. Corporate is allowed even hit more than that (FOC). However it's not gurantee. Our network(home) is best effort basis. Even they are using the same trunk to go out. Also why you need 10 gig.

10 gig to download porns eh..? Just jokin.. 10gbps is really really too much...

a lot things i want to say about time.net.....

they have good custumer service,custumer email always being reply and fast...

have a lot innovative idea ....the 1st broadband phone in m'sia,1st post pay voip for consumer.....

but their decision making staft.....when tmnet being force to open its network for other isp to provide dsl,time dont use this chance like jaring,instead,they want become mvno,didn't they forgot why they sold out 017?moreever,now they are facing lost,but they want to bit for the high cost required 3G....

they are telco just like telecom,they also have fiber optic network,if they serious to offer dsl,i sure they have more room to win than jaring.

10g will allow high quality multimedia and large software being up and download and or share.

for enjoy,it will change your live,example hdtv and real dvd quality radio

for work,just upload your work to your boss server,instead the old fashion burn in cd or dvd.

even a 100g also not a too much in the computer world.

howewer,for many years,i think 1g will remain be a national speed for consumer user.

Telco have the equal access agreement. All of them should take advantage of this. It'll benefit them and better yet, we as consumer will get a better service and wider choice.

I am waiting for wired broadband for quite sometime already, but seems that I'm still stuck with wireless and most of the time it's kinda useless. For now I'll take whatever provider that can provide me a wired broadband. It really makes me wonder why doesn't TIME grab this golden opportunity and compete with other providers?

~psyher...

i juz hope any broadband company out ther win streamyx n offer high speed!!!

but it will be more costly than Screamyx

Go through TMNet for wat..? They are famous for their fibre optic...

Why bother bout whether they sell 017 or not..? They didn't sell TIMENet can already..

P/S : Next time don't double post ler.. You can edit your post.

Now Jaring wireless can use p2p, maybe they lost out customers because they banned this last time. Currently one of my friend is using, until now the speed is quite nice. TIMENet seems too expensive for me.

Ahh.. TIMENet's HomeNET is SDSL which the download/upload is at the same speed.. Sure it'll be more expensive.. Jaring Wireless can use p2p..? Shocking news...

their backbone is worth 2 billion!

wow , I thought jaring has the best backbone from Cisco..It even stated in their website (somewhere)...Jaring Wireless can p2p..shocking..till to date , i can't still p2p..Maybe they block Kuala Lumpur B$ users from downloading off p2p networks

jaring backbone also 10gbps?

well i agree with u normal surfing n BT, direct DL is ok... but how can u said u r satisfied... man this broadband cant even stream a video 70 percent lagging except u go to their nettv where the videos there wont lag..wtf..

BU11? hehe same here la.. don't know why Maxis go lease our area also.. sigh.. 6 years without broadband.. Now using Webbit, never even think about playing online games, didn't even bother to try.. just BT day and night to make my monthly fees worth it..
I think Mango .. sigh.. they talk only la.. no news also.. maybe few more years la

I think they sell off TimeCell because they think they couldn't compete with the big players like Celcom and Maxis.. they could use the money to cover their losses..
If I'm not mistaken, Time is indirectly govt owned company.. (couldn't quite rmb I think its through Khazanah Nasional).. something like Proton.. even if they make losses, they'll just look for govt to fund them.. I've read reports earlier that TimeNet is planning to merge with Jaring?

double post?haha...i seperate my two post because they are 2 diferent topic

ya from BU11..dang BU11 n 12 is stuck man with wireless = lousyness = lagness = sucks.....

the reason i review timenet,because i love it a lot.....is sad to see a company has so much good potential always lost both in money and strategy.....

even our post cant help safe timenet,how about have some fun in practising our decision making technique?

Well, TIME not doing so well also probably people are attracted to 1mbps from Streamyx which is at RM88/77. For RM89, u can't even get 512kbps from TIME...

if time offer 1mb at rm80 thn i go 4 it

their highest package is not even 512kbps?

Wow.....2 billion!
then rental fee may be RM40~50 Million per month.

I think they block the port only like BT common port 6880.
u try to change to other, c can work a not?
but i heard my fend say, they had "network scanner" to scan the network usage.
so may to always change the i/o port.

nope , they have iptables rule

for kl base station , it just does not work (HLA)...they block bt on the main base station...

Although you see the speed is kinda low, its SDSL plus the line is stable.. How often do you see TIME users get disconnected or frequent downtimes ?

rental fee for what? their fiber optic?

hey guys,
I just submitted the application today. According to Customer support, it need to take 8 days to activate the HomeNet. I will input the info. Currently I am using Streamyx 1mb. I will compare it.

If FOC,i'm will b 1st to aplly it.
u use they network, sure need to pay them.

waiting 4 ur good news.

Hi All,
I got my broadband on 15 Dec 2005. The broadband was down on 20 and 21. Was told the lines reside my building was causing problem. I was able to get the IP from time. Managed to ping www.google.com and www.yahoo.com. I couldn't online instant msg and browse internet. I even tried to browse internet via ip instead hostname. The customer service seems did not understand. The follow up was fine. Few ppl contacted me. After the service is back normal. Few calls to confirm as well. So far not bad just they are lack of troubleshooting skills.

Speed is ok acceptable 384kps. I do not upload much. Tried to download ringtones(HK) and some software from the website. Pretty impressive. I don't use bitcomet. I can't comment on that. I am happy with the Time:)

Good to hear that munkor !

the speed is symmetric

If I'm not wrong, normally TIME Broadband are all SDSL except for TIME Webbit. Too bad they don't offer 1mbps/1mbps.

Hi all,
As requested, here are the attached files . I captured it @ this morning.

By the way, hardyboyz888 1mb speed is going to kill me($$$)
Last time, when I was in usa..the speed like rocket. my download speed min. was 100kpb. Download mp3 within 10 secs(Asia website). That's only for gaming la bro.
384 kps is fine for me since i am not heavy user:D. Last time i used to play Counter strike. Now, I giving up no matter what speed i get 3mb (user package). Our provider is doing QOS. No point !!!


Hope this help

Your speed is good. Maybe your download speed was helped out by the upload too.

hei that ip is 211 its from timenet?

Yeap. 211.x.x.x from TIME.

But not all 211.x.x..x is from time , you must remember that , mostly 211.24.x.x , 211.25.x.x , 211.26.x.x..Im still looking for other TIME IP Ranges...

time only got 211.24,25,26 ? no other like 210 or wat so?

Nope. Only has 211. Subscriber base also not much, have so many IP range also no use.

why they dun have 1mbps package ah? somemore their coverage only so few areas?

DarkImage12 .

Look , again it depends on the ISP.There are many reasons. I would just give you want of the reason. Look , if the ISP Cannot provide at least 70% of the subscribed speed , its pretty useless. So instead of offering a 'faster' connection , they offer a Reliable connection.

Bingo!! Prasys. 100 % agree statement. Yeah!! as long as 70% and the ISP are reliable and promptly response. Uptime is most important

hei ask u something la like all this isp the ip they got are for their dialup broadband and other internet service or they have separate ip for different service?

Yep , there are not in the same range , for TmnET ip , there is 210.x.x.x , mostly , 210.x.x.x IP range.....It depends , maybe Streamyx Enterprise users have their own IP range too , etc...Its just like that

isp will be assigned ips' from apnic. they are responsible to manage all the ip in the ap region. some isp got a few block of ip, depends on their usage.

streamyx enterprise get fix ips rite? i login their account using my home line also get their ip but then dunno can send but no receive 1 dunno whats wrong

Because the IP have been routed to the particular dslam. If u using the same dslam with the enterprise login then tou can get the traffic. If other dslam, then no traffic can find you.

ask me for more info....

wah like that i must go check if got anyone of them using same dslam as me
