I have just got mine installed for roughly 2 weeks. My package is 6mbps+superpack 3..
What can I say is that although the speed is indicated 6mbps and speed test to local server indicates the same speed with very low ping count (<10ms), the connection is somehow slow. When u try to ping US or UK server, u will get very high ping count (+-400ms).

Before this TIME fibre is installed, I have Maxis fibre 4mbps installed.. And currently my house is running both TIME fibre and Maxis fibre. Like I said, although TIME indicates a faster speed than Maxis, surprisingly maxis posted an faster download speed (when torrenting) and loading speed (loading website eg: facebook/youtube) and the diff is significant..

Maxis speed test to local server has higher ping count than TIME but its overseas server ping count is significantly less than TIME (+-200ms).

I suspect that as Astro IPTV used TIME fibre to stream do takes up a lot of bandwidth which cause the slowdown of its own internet connectivity. However, speed test cannot prove that. But in fact, this is what I realised.

Some of my friend using TM unifi and said that unifi seggregated both HyppTV and internet separately, meaning that u can get a speed of 5mbps without compromising the viewing quality.

I will do some more testing on both fibre. For those who wish to take up the bundle (fibre+astro), u may want to reconsider... my 2cent
