Okay, I just got my unifi VIP10 installed two days ago. Since I can't get the wifi signal at all when I was up in my room upstairs, I asked the technician to come back and replaced the TM router to Cisco E1500.
I was testing the download speed on mediafire and comparing it with Streamyx 1MBPS package in my room:

Streamyx: 80 kb/s
Unifi: 150 kb/s

Is this normal? It's just ridiculous since I didn't get even 10% of the advertised speed. I'm so freaking pissed right now.

I use speedtest and it seems like I got the full speed. But whenever I tried to download on any website, the speed is a teeny bit better than streamyx. I just can't justify keeping it when I don't see much improvement over streamyx. Especially, I mainly download from mediafire.

I called the representatives and asked why is it like that. And he told me that cos if the server is in USA, it doesn't matter whether I'm using streamyx or unifi, the speed still gonna be the same. Then I asked him again, "So, when can I actually get the max speed then. Face it, there's not much servers located in Malaysia." And he said that, when browsing you got the full speed lo. Dude, I don't need 10Mbps for browsing okay. I can browse internet just fine using my 1Mbps streamyx.

Urgh...

Btw, when I use Cisco router, I can see the wifi signal in my room, but it takes forever to load ANY page. So the guy suggested that I get some sort of booster to widen the range of my router or something. Do you guys know where to get it?

Woah! Your speed is awesome~ Currently, I'm not using any download manager to download. But, thank you for the suggestion, I shall try to find a download manager for Mac.

Yeah, I totally get the fact that filesharing sites like MF, Jumbofiles etc capped your speed unless you pay, but isn't 150 kbps a bit ridiculous? Cos I do search thru the forum and saw that some people do get about 1mbps when they download from MF.

Thanks for the help~

No.. That's my own router that I used for Streamyx before.
It works fine with Streamyx but with unifi, I got really weak signal, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong..

Does anyone know whether I can get a 100m long ethernet cable online/around KL? The longest I've found on lelong is 30m..

How do I know whether it's a good quality or not? I'm kinda a noob in this department. T_T

Okay, I just found out from my dad that the contractor who did the unifi installation charged my dad a freaking RM 850 for drilling and stuff like that. Is that normal? If it isn't, is it possible to call TM Customer Service and complain about it?

Gah, this unifi stuff is giving me headache. I didn't know why my dad didn't ask the contractor to place all the modem & stuff on the 2nd floor instead of the 1st floor since everybody pretty much live upstairs anyway. Is it possible to call TM to ask them to relocate those devices upstairs?

Do you guys know when will they impose the quota thingy?
