Bro ronnie, the 1st hop out of router is always slow as the connection from ONT is configured as Interleaved mode rather than Fast mode which TM have set. I believe they have a reason why it is configured that way.

Google Interleaved vs Fast mode for more info.

Notice bro Le Chad traceroute only used 11 hop to reach Google while your side used 14 hop to reach Google.
Maybe it is also better to list the area where you are staying for complete info.

Interleaved is configured towards error correction (this is to achieve stable connection for as data line could be noisy) on the data packet before the packet being traverse out to the Internet which is gives certain disadvantage as it slows down the data packet routed out. This is why the 1st hop is always slow.

For Fast mode, there is no validation and error correction and thus the response could be faster but data packet may be lost due to noise in the line. For internet line which has quiet line (low noise level), the fast mode could be a better option.

Hope this give you some idea. For more details, use google to find more info. The answer is out there.

You don't read my previous post properly, do you??

Please don't compare Streamyx and Maxis Fiber as both as using different technology.
How do you compare Apple and Orange? can you tell me.
