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 test DD ubuntu anytime can get full speed of 10Mbps (~1MBps)

New throttled speed is 0.5Mbps (~50KBps)

This daily throttle will effect from 8pm to 2am on any package Maxis HOME fiber for P2P traffic only. All other traffic like HTTP, FTP etc shouldn't affected by this.

Gombak also ok everytime

dont wait later, pls do complaining now. i'm requesting to do early termination without penalty fees now because maxis can't solve their high latency issue to international routing

i wait maxis to resolve high latency issue since subscribe on july 2012, now already march 2013. receive phone call from maxis just now telling me they already put special note for my account so i can terminate early without any penalty charge. yay!

u will lost voip (telephone) function if u replace it which contain free minutes calling to maxis number and 10 selected idd call, unless u can find a router with phone port like what maxis provide via thomson rg

so far there is nothing can be replace if u refer to malaysia home user market. btw, thomson is not the only one giving problem to maxis ftth. here is the total issues since it launch until now, with some of them already resolved:
1) hijacking of page to mylaunchpad.
2) private IP address by default
3) high ping
4) traffic shaping/throttling
5) blocking of some websites
6) interference with direct downloads
7) shitty thomson routers
8) router backdoor
9) disconnection every 48 hours for dhcp lease
10) changing of T&C at their whims and fancy.

there still no guide for maxis ftth customer landed house to use voip on alcatel lucent modem

1) hijacking of page to mylaunchpad. - issue solved
2) private IP address by default - still can request for public ip free of charge
3) high ping - bad international routing, this issue still exist until now
4) traffic shaping/throttling - this p2p throttle happen everyday 8pm-2am
5) blocking of some websites - i never facing it yet but there is another customer complaining about it
6) interference with direct downloads - issue resolved
7) shitty thomson routers - maxis still using thomson as maxis ftth default rg
8) router backdoor - they need remote access to rg to do remote support
9) disconnection every 48 hours for dhcp lease - this issue still exist till now
10) changing of T&C at their whims and fancy. - last time they change term for early termination penalty, then they change their fup from 1Mbps to 0.5Mbps

Doing ping test to webserver (singtel.com) and webmailserver (imail.starhub.com) will not do any good to Maxis FTTH customer. I'm advising we do it against a normal user from Singaporean IP address. In my test below I do it to 27.54.32.17 which is my brother PC located in Singapore. Normally I play online game together with him either using Maxis FTTH or TM UniFi. Below is his IP whois info for reference:

His dynamic IP block start from 27.54.32.1 and ending at 27.54.39.254

Below is the ping test, on the left is Maxis FTTH vs TM UniFi on the right.

We can see average reply for Maxis FTTH is more than double of TM UniFi

Below is trace route test, on the left is Maxis FTTH vs TM UniFi on the right.

Maxis FTTH is need 20 hop to reach while TM UniFi only need 12

You may get rid from maxis hotspot by reconfigure your Thomson RG. Jot down your High Speed Internet credential, VoIP credential and any custom port forwarding you have done and do the factory reset on that RG by pressing the reset factory button for a few seconds. Do Setup Wizard and don't enable the hotspot this time.

XunLei no affected by this P2P throttle because of they are using another protocol beside those standard bittorrent protocol.
I don't think UniFi is blocking PPStream because there still got people asking how to block PPStream using TM UniFi like here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
