which is why, I stick to TM UniFi.

Once I was in Maxis TTDI, that was even before the RM118 promotion started, the staff there kept persuading me to sign up Maxis Fiber, and when I said I was already a TM UniFi user still under 2-year contract, the guy kept telling me what savings I will get, free stuff, etc. that can cover the RM500 termination penalty!

Then at least 1 or 2 phone calls from Maxis telemarketing team telling me the same! This also happened before the RM118 promotion started.

No it's not much of a concern.

Many EU countries and even Japan has implemented this method via the LA FONERA to encourage more public hotspots around the country.

If security is your concern, then Unifi equipments are just as subsceptible to it since they share the same network and termination equipments.

By sharing your bandwidth with for a small amount of bandwidth, you get to use other peer hotspots for free across the world or country. You can also buy passes and top up your credit for non members to use this widely available network.

Your neighbour might have one set up in future. This is what a modern day mesh network will look like one day.

The other thing is if the public network is on a reserved VLAN, what does it concern me of my internet usage? Absolutely none because my bandwidth is untouched. If you can hack their EAP based security, you might as well attempt the prepaid top up coupons of your mobile provider.

Well, I don't really like this idea of sharing my hotspot with others publicly, even if its on a separate SSID. Imagine sharing the same airspace on your physical access point with others.

Well it will take a while for Malaysians to adopt to the idea. Most developed countries already been doing this for a very long time. Soon or later it will be a common thing and wont feel so "taboo".

I am glad, my country is prospering ahead. Lets all embrace this new concept and put it forward to implementation. After all if everyone is going to benefit from this ideology, why not.

yep,totally agree.New ideas, new service,new infra n new subscribers.Proceed

Unifi better come to Sarawak soon. But I see a lot of grounding wor for those huge black cables. Presumely fibre optics. Are they black and huge?

LOL U know what i mean?

I think its black and yellow and small

That sounds like normal water pipe

I'm starting to see "Streamyx Mobility_xxyyzz" hotspots around broadcasted by my neighbours TM supplied modems besides their own SSID.

Are they supposed to be the hidden public hotspots similar to what Maxis is implementing?

Added on July 17, 2012, 9:07 pmIt is on separated SSID with dedicated bandwidth assigned with different VLAN ID.

Authentication will be from Maxis's own RADIUS database. Why is it insecure?

Hey guys, just a quick question to anyone who has encountered this... well, don't know if it's an issue or not yet.

The POTS light on my BTU (the white Alcatel model) just lit up for no apparent reason. Now I know when you pick up the phone, the POTS light will be lit up, but my phone is NOT connected to my BTU, not a single phone is.

So it's very weird that it is lighting up now.
Only thing connected to the BTU is my router.

Never happened before until 10 minutes ago. My connection even went down all of a sudden for no apparent reason.

On Unifi BIZ btw. Have already restarted the BTU and router a couple of times as well.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

back to the question, watching IPTV from LCD Monitor, bro rattan did replied me that the STB allows connection from LCD Monitor, which is great, but what about the sound connectivity? The particular monitor that I'm currently referring to DellTM ST2320L which does not comes with audio output. Any idea?

Just buy a RCA - 3.5mm cable, connect 1 side to the RCA jack at the back on ur STB and the other to ur speakers...

For the time being, I'm gonna let others be the tikus putih first.

Imagine you are at a high density area and many people are using your access point. It will come to a point that it hits the recommended capacity and affects the stability of your own wireless connection.

UniFi now has quota liao?

Not yet..

I hope they don't go pointing fingers at others but do it themselves.

This weird hotspots I get to see them from now with SSIDs Streamyx Mobility_ followed by a 5 digit Hex code or something like that.

You also have weird trade going on that says FREE internet one time wireless modem purchase. But the device once and get lifetime FREE internet access.

Is this the device to access those rogue Streamyx wifi APs?

Can somebody clarify to me what will happen after HyppTV RM30 package expired? If my memory serve right, the contract is only for one year. Will TM charged all those 30 channels individually to my account after the promo expire? I've read the T&C but this never been stated there. This concern me a little.

Any pictures on the fibre optics cables then?

Anyone want to inquire about maxis hsbb i can also help no problem guys... so u guys can compare for the best deal in town. Just PM me ill help answer your queries.
