Yes, you are not comparing apple to apple. In Singapore, it is way cheaper to provide the last mile due to the concentration of so many of their users in clustered and multi-storey buildings. And the last mile is the most expensive component of the network.

Also, providers such as Singtel or Starhub can also ride on their own cable TV network, thus synergizing the network usage and reducing overall cost.

And if you look at the Singapore user forums, they complain too... As do users all over the world, we are never satisfied!

Not saying Maxis or Unifi are all that perfect, but let's be fair...

anyone able to bypass the P2P FUP at 8pm-2am ?
now i find this p2p cap really stupiak la

I am getting a red light for optical and after calling Maxis last night, they say it is an unexpected downtime because the main fibre cable in the area was broken. This morning at 9:30AM, the problem still persists. Anyone else in Klang Valley have information when would this be resolved?

i also previously got same problem as u.
but mine only the cable from the pole to my house is broken so nothing major.
call at 8am. TM technician arrive at 12. problem solved in 1/2 hour.

Mine has been more than 12 hours now and still no ETA. This is crazy

just use your backup/alternative internet link during this darurat and make sure claim downtime rebate for next bill from maxis ftth

i also have red light of the optical since yesterday. .call maxis,they told me the cable has problem. ..

My backup link is so damn slow, can't do anything with it also

are they now throttling on weekends in broad daylight too?

yesterday i can't get internet around 1am++ but now i can get highest speed 1.1mb/s

i can get full speed here in gombak

TG784n v3 vs DLink DIR-655....which one is better...?? help me...i didnt find any comparison between this 2 router on google...

I'm moving to a new place and i'm looking for a new fibre installation.

I have been using unifi for past 2 years and contrary to the bad reputation of TM, my service has only been down ONCE in the past 2 years and rectification has been done very quickly. I used lots of cloud service and heavy P2P, I had never once felt any throttling done on my connection unlike Streamyx previously. Needless to say, i am very satisfied with Unifi as of now.

However with the same price but double the speed with Maxis Home, i am a little bit tempted. But i've seen users complaining about throttling and less than satisfaction service here and there has gotten me to think twice.

Anyone who has used both unifi and maxis home care to shed some light on comparison between the two?

anybody installed maxis home fibre 10mbps at USJ 11 area?
Stable? How's the speed.

stick to unifi... no need change....

OK noted.

I use both... Maxis 10 at my home and Unifi VIP5 at my parent home... Both also located in the same town

In term of hardware... TM hardware much better compare to Maxis Thompson...
In term of speed sometime i see TM VIP5 can reach 7-8Mbps on certain occasion...

As for P2P cap... i not yet have any problem with it... All my torrent currently on full speed regardless what time...

i use both vip5 & maxis ftth 10Mbps
vip5 win in term of latency, good for gamer
maxis win in term of speed, good for downloader
vip5 win on dont do throtling torrent, good for leecher and seeder
maxis win in term of price, good for your pocket

i left my pc download and configure auto shutdown once finish...
for me 5mbps or 10mbps speed not really different...

i will said unifi win all... (except rm118 user)
they have iptv too...

other choice... get Time 100GBps with Astro IPTv

Partially true for the torrent part. Throttle is part of the fair usage policy. Applies 8pm to 2 am only.

If we use maths & assume consistent max speed for torenting;

Maxis 10MB -
24 hour DL = 60 x60 x24 = 86400 seconds x 10MB = 864000MB per second
8pm to 2am throttle DL = 6 hours = 21600MB X 10MB = 216000MB per second
864000MB - 216000 = 648000MB per second

Unifi 5MB
24 hour DL = 86400 seconds x 5MB = 432000MB per second

Maxis is still 50% faster than Unifi eith consideration of throttle 8pm to 2am by Maxis.
