curious why cant maxis ftth direct connect to starhub?
now have to tunnel thru singtel and make the ping to 3 digits..

im using maxis FTTH 30mb but when i play games on steam like dota2 and CSGO. I get really bad and disappointing latency. Even my old 1mb streamyx give better latency then maxis. How ? anybody else face this same problem and how to fix it?

Is known issue for Maxis FTTH

so nth can be done at all??? no solutions?

Not sure if you guys ever approach Maxis with the requirement on network latency (ping) of less than 85ms for 95% of the time at BUSY hour as stated in "Quality of Service (Broadband) Standard"? It is a standard any ISP/NSP/NFP has to comply with or penalised for failing to comply.

so far for maxis(unifi)- astro, still no.
but i remember seeing on another thread said for maxis own fibre, there are 3 condos available..
about the maxis(unifi) - astro they said early this month or next year in January.. so, wait je la...

Are you on private or public IP?

the private and public just change the username rite?

From private i change to public it became worse ! then i switch back to private

Dont see any package yet but only give PVR and HD free only but they took out free call.

I was under the impression that installation fees are free,but I have a contractor right now that is about to lay the cable and is asking for 6 bucks per meter and says that he needs to install up to 130 meters. That's gonna set me back 780 bucks. Is that normal?

Only if you opt for non standard installation.

please give up on maxis iptv... maxis r big fat liar...
been cheating and FFK 2 times this year
they said iptv going to launch next year, but i doubt it... mayb dec2013 la

astro iptv, selling the same price as maxis and using maxis logo... but not maxis

to turn down your hope
1. i called maxis, astro+maxis iptv oni applicable in 4buildings in kl
2. the decoder might not free
3. minimal subscription
4. new contract for iptv (expected)

if u aim for iptv, UniFi is the way to go... they even have sport channels HyppSports(1,2,3,4) HD

No I don't think you can just change the username part. That is just part of the steps. You gotta call them first.

1st day use maxis fiber...
IM IN RAGE!!!
RAWR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY THE HECK SO HIGH PING IN DOTA2?????!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!

actually this is how they teach me... from private to public

u fell into the trap d... if you really hardcore gamer.. pay penalty and join unifi....
i regret maxis... until now... 4 months d... high ping not solved....

guys keep complaining to maxis call 123 to tell your prob... apparently im helping them doing some traces ETC... if more ppl complain think they might do something....

High ping issues is the Thomson router problem. Don't know how many times need to repeat this.

That's not true. Maxis have worse peering compared to TM. That's why the ping is worse. If local ping is good, but international ping to game servers are bad, how is it router problem?

I've tried the Thomson, Unifi's D-link, and WR-841ND with OpenWRT, my brother still complains lousy latency for gaming on Maxis. Change router also no point, Maxis simply not good for gaming, stick to UniFi.

The Thomson router are known for its crap latency/ping issues. Changing it will definitely provide you a better gaming experience but don't know to what extend you are expecting from it.

I played 5 different online games everyday but don't have any issues for latency/ping after changing the router.


My both house currently have UniFi VIP 20 and Maxis 10MB respectively which I don't see a difference in gaming at all.

In fact I'm more dissatisfied with UniFi than Maxis. It has this problem of 'disconnecting' players if more than 3 people are playing the same game. Maxis doesn't.
