I've no problem with speed. Torrent download around 1.2mb.

Wow, your luck is good

If you stream youtube, you would not notice it because the speed is fast enough to buffer the 20 to 30 seconds downtime. Also if you are reading a stationary web page, you don't feel it too. But if you jump from pages to pages, you will notice the short DC.
I have plenty of "xDSL linestate down" in my log too, sometimes when I click on LYN thread link from another page, my firefox browser occasionally needs more than 10 sec to load up the page, sometime I have to refresh the loading. However in most instances, the browser can load a LYN page instantly within half second.

Spot on! I retrieving reports and I jump fr pages to pages a lot by opening a new tab

It sounds to me a known issue

I now doubt it's firmware as mentioned by the maxis support, since I just installed this Monday

yup....

rebate from maxis? no more now?

hey i want a rebate from too..

ohh wait i don't have a contract with u mobile

downloading a very well seeded torrent now. at 70% completed i'm still only averaging 550kbps, even though my speedtest shows 9mb down/12mb up.

Is there no other router that can be used?
Does the majority of the people here face the same problem? DC's...

I don't know. I got accepted under under the RM118 promotion.
Installation later this month.
I still can cancel it.
So for the next few days I'm going to keep a close eye on this thread.

I don't want to have the same problem as DanielTay.
After 4 hours already problem.

Will everything be better if they give us a new improved router?
Because it seems that the only problem is the router.

What did Maxis say about your problem?
How will they solve it?

I'm trying to see if many more people face the same problem as you.

Well, its vary from different person. So far from installation done, I did not face serious problem with maxis. Just a few times of auto reboot with the thomson router this afternoon. After that, other were perfect.

With such attractive price, you couldn't say more about it. I always manage to get the full speed 1.2 during torrent download. Imagine you can download 1GB within 20 minutes

Hi guys,

I just got my Maxis FTTH installed this morning. Here is a quick summary of my experience thus far:

1. The installation team from both TM and Maxis arrived 10 minutes before the scheduled time and it took them approximately 3 hours to complete the installation process.

2. Tested it on Diablo 3 and my latency was 220-235ms.

3. Torrent speed is good too. Speed hovering around 900kbp/s - 1 MB/s

4. No issues with disconnections so far.

So far, I'm very satisfied with the service.

I think there's a separate thread on replacing the router from Maxis. So far, some forumers have success replacing the router. The only issue is voip since it also comes from the thomson (unlike unifi). A feasible solution to complete remove the Thomson and still have voip is probably to get those VoIP phone adapters like the following:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/927334/all

Pretty expensive solution for a good replacement router + VoIP adapter. Additional cost of RM400-RM600 for a good one.

I'm still researching around for a viable option...

Those who are facing issues with their Thomson router and wanted to get rid of it. You may refer to my guide below.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2384890

I can't seem to port forward. I'm on private IP, and whenever I try port forwarding, nothing happens. The ports won't get opened. Anyone can teach me how to port forward? Maybe I'm missing some steps or something.
And I did not change to public IP, just using default private IP that comes with it.
Or is it private IP can't port forward?

ur speed really so nice...

do you got ask them cap higher the speed or any other setting?

hope my line can break 10mb ...

Really??!!

Are you a free downloader or a premium user?

Will a premium user encounter the same problem?
Any premium user here who can verify?

Thanks

why I always got network error when download from direct download site like megashare, filesear, sendspace, 4shared. My P1 1.2mbps even faster and stable than 10mbps.But torrent download still reasonable.I am using google dns. and one more thing, is that normal to restart the modem to take 5 minutes so long ? and accessing thomsom modem gateway like 56k modem access internet?

Yeah the price is what really made me sign up for this.

But after hearing a couple of people complaining that the wifi signal is bad, it really scares me especially since I live in a semi-d.

I mean c'mon, I'm not using a desktop.
We use laptop, phone and ipad to use the internet.
I live in a semi-d. I shiver at the thought of it (low wifi signal).

Do many of you encounter wifi signal problem?

Added on July 11, 2012, 10:46 pmI will delay the installation until September when my streamyx contract ends.
In the mean time, I want to follow this Maxis and Unifi thread closely to see which is more problematic.
