above 20dBm is ok. you get 90%+ speedtest.

but if above 25dBM, your ONT takes very long to online. tm keep quiet and advice users leave it ON. hehee. while in between u have many many probs. this is classified info.

read more , while its true that any internet connection to internet must have a Public IP BUT

the main difference is where is the Public IP located in the network hierarchy.

For normal maxis ftth setup
users are given private IP at their home and kept the public IP at their own server/equipment. In this scenario, for you to reach the Internet, you must pass through their server/equipment. Mind you, this particular public IP could be shared with other maxis ftth to reach the internet. Typically, this type of setup is

1 public IP(maxis data center) -- > many, maxis private IPs (users home router) --> many, your home private IPs(users ipad,phone, notebook, pc)

so, for data communication in the internet others will only be able to see your public IP, once data routed to the public IP, maxis equipment will then have to route it to the appropriate users (private IPs)
For maxis ftth setup with public IP
users are given a public IP (dynamic one of course) at their home directly. So in this case, between you and the internet is just the home router and this public IP is not shared by others at any point in time. Typically, this tpe of setup is

1 public IP(users home router) --> many, your home private IPs (users ipad, phone etc etc)

by using this setup, you have direct control over the the traffic if your router is capable of doing it and of course if you have admin access to it.
Note: In most cases, normal internet activities doesn't really which setup you have, what important is you have a connection and those routers will manage the route appropriately. However for example a cctv setup, you will require certain ports to be forwarded to the local private IP of the cctv equipments, therefor people suggest to get the public IP setup so that you have control over the router. In fact, cctv setups will even work using the normal setup IF Maxis helps you to port forward the necessary ports from the internet to your private IP (However, that might create management mess and most likely there are strict protocols to follow to allow the changes which means they will most likely wont do it for you)

BTW, public IP or private IP have no relation to your LINK speed. Download speed MIGHT be affected though depending the software you use. LINK speed and Download speed is not the same ya.

nothing to be sad of to ditch ur overpriced streamyx.

my installation is taking place now, seems like they are able to pull the fibre cable straight into my house (I stay in a condo)  the cable run through the existing 'tunnel' where phone line is residing and go all the way down to the maxis 'station' in the downstair, lot of wiring work to be done I must say.

Can come to my house to view my demo unit first before you commit one.

In my system log....dunno what happen....

well not all users have problem like you do.
mine all good no problem what so ever.
but to generalize maxis giving such bad service is misleading.
anyway, do ur right as consumer, report ur problems.

wah, mind ur language la.. OME!!
well, can u give me one service provider that has never has any problem? would like to subscribe that~

Hi, I'm a fence sitter here.
So I really need to know user's experience.

Did you mean
"anything as good"
or
"anything as bad"?

yesterday i can plug into tp-link "WAN" port, then put in username & password, can connect, but today suddenly cannot online, is it because of this?

haiz, just got 2 weeks "honey moon" of maxis home, today sudden;y disconnect, see many complain at here, finally my turn become them...

The LAN connection is quite consistent but the WIFI connection is damn erratic, up-down up-down like yo-yo.
As per feedback gathered from the past postings, the Thomson router is the only problem, not the fiber service line.

My maxis fibre dead. 2day go bek home den cant connect d. The DSL indicator is off. Duno y. taking me half an hour to report.

which one gives less problems?
im using 4mb streamyx now.
2 years problem free.
so satisfied but my contract ending in september so i need to change to either
unifi or maxis.

I just had this issue, call 123 with your Maxis Mobile and request them to reset your profile.

dude, I don't think that message is relevant. Mine also have the same message, but the internet connection is fine, no disconnection for the past 2 weeks.

what kind of error message you get at the login page when you try to connect? From other member's post, something like "Authentication Failure"?

change a different router to end your misery... rage in here won't help much

hmm... ... i thought I could help a fellow subscriber, but you not seem interested...no point taking it out on me... like another forumer said, you could get another router and end your misery, but that causes money too...

Or better yet, just cancel subscription and complain to SKMM lor...

my connection no problem. your connection got problem, i'm not saying you are imagining the problem.
From what you describe, maxis also being incompetent and not getting back on the solution to you as soon as possible.

So, i'm interested to know the detail of the problem, that's why i'm asking you what other error messages you are facing. This is a technical forum, so we discuss on the problem and probably can suggest some solution. If sendiri can solve the problem, at least you don't need to wait for the helpdesk idiots to get back to you right?

that's my intention. I couldn't care less about maxis reputation, I only want to get my money's worth from my service. You want that too, right?

I'm thinking technical here, the xDSL error message, I too have it, but my connection not affected. So, there's must be other error message that I don't have but you have it. That unique error message could indicate what's the problem in your connection and maybe can fix sendiri instead of waiting for the stupid maxis to get back to you on a solution.

I do give hell to Maxis if my router is a problem, I don't want to buy another router to fix the problem. Why should I spend more money to fix a problem that supposedly the responsibility of Maxis? That's why I didn't suggest to replace the router first unless last resort.

no problem...ok, you know the Internet connection page? The one you put in dialup username and password? When you fill in the dialup details and connect, do you get any error message?
