Any plans to change the router instead of using the Thompson in future?

The Dlink DVG-N5402SP sounds like a good deal since it also has VoIP phone ports.

It can replace all the functions of the Thompson one.

Do you have any devices with the following MAC ID?
a0:88:b4:d6:ea:28

You can't solve it. Concentrator down means the connection between the main server where all the VDSL equipment at your building is connected to is cut off.

Since they use TM backbone to connect back to Maxis concentrator server, they know better about the problem.

Modem => VDSL2 DSLAM => Concentrator

Maybe TM doing maintenance there.

Have you find out what is the source of the MAC ID yet? Every MAC ID must have a source coming from somewhere.

I don't know until you yourself figure out the MAC ID of your Thompson router(please don't reveal it here on the forum).

You sure no one walks around into your kitchen or home with a smartphone or something?

Possible if the fibre cable runs next to some metal conductor like cable holders on the phone poles.When lightning hits, it'll break or melt the cable at the same time.

Of course because obviously your equipment can't get fried because glass idoes not conduct electricity.

You'll have slighly higher latency similar to your ADSL for 1st hop.

Price you've to pay through your nose.

Around RM50 for 1GB?
Per MB charges after hitting quota Wait for your thousand dollar bill.
100mbps but capped to 64kbps when quota exceed. So slow you'll be force to buy more quota if you want to continue use it.

Installation is much cheaper since it can be self installed. But telcos will relay the charge of building new stations to users by making them pay ridiculous subscription fees.

RM80 for 3GB? RM150 for 6GB?

Expect something like YES pricing and their Value Packs.

Forget about doing Bit Torrenting. Before you can get your file, your uploads would have exhausted your quota.

Most likely it's your electrical socket that fried your equipment. So don't think fibre internet won't fry your system. It still needs to run on electricity,

No for wireless such as LTE the cost is always much higher because telco operators have to managed more than just the number of users sharing the port.

The must ensure enough uplink bandwidth to the station and also the number of users connected to each base station which is limited due to spectrum allocation through FDD assignment.

It's like say your house got 10 people living, you AP can only handle 5 person so you need 2 APs then you also need to take care whether you have a fast enough internet line so when 10 people go online they won't complain it's too slow.

Wired fixed line will always be much more cheaper than mobile data.
