I switch between Straemyx 4Mbps and Yes4G for WoW and Diablo 3.  When my mum/dad/sis youtubing, can't play at all so I switch to Yes4G until they stop sleep.gif  On Streamyx I get about 210ms, Yes4G about 280ms, US servers.

I am getting about 202ms for WoW on UniFi. Anyhow my recommendation is to use QoS , to prioritize gaming compared to youtube

Currently, I'm paying RM88 for 4Mbps (college package some years back), but Maxis is offering 10Mbps for RM118, which is really quite affordable for the bandwidth increase.  But I'm more worried about latency with Maxis FTTH as I'm no longer on Streamyx contract (although RM88 price still continues). Extra RM20 for x2.5 the bandwidth, I don't see why not.  Only concern remains is the latency smile.gif

Well you could give it a go if you like. The latency should be reduced anyway , even for unifi the latency hovers around 190ms-230ms !

But getting stuck on 2 years contract for a line that can potentially be worse than my Streamyx is not very appealing ):

Its typical marketing strategy , even for UniFi as well.
