Hi there,

I am planning on coming to Kuala Lumpur to work in the next month or so.

I play a lot of XBOX online especially Battlefield, COD and Halo plus others.

I have done some research already and think that TM UNIFI might be the way to go.

I would like to get anyones advice or experiences playing online gaming with LIVE.

Is the connection reliable, what type of ping could I expect to get? lots of lag/map teletporting etc...

How does anyone find UNIFI?

Just to let you know I lived in KL earlier in the 2000s and had a bad experience with Streamyx.

I really would appreciate anyones help or comments.

Thanks

I am not sure about the ping setting on UniFi but am a Xbox Live member and a gamer.

Stable,yes but if the server like Treyarch's or EA's aren't stable and always get disconnection, UniFi is still stable.

No lag..Okay,maybe once or twice but not more than 3 times.

Sure,stable and no buffering while watching videos. Download speed can be unpredictable at times.

Thanks for replying!

What ISP do you have? COD BLOPS 2, what other games do you play and how do they perform?

Do you have any problems getting into multiplayer games via online matchmaking.

Do you know of anyone with experience of TM UNIFI specifically with FPS on LIVE?

I have US XBOX with US account... should work ok?

thanks

TM. Currently playing BLOPS 2 because I just want to prestige and continue to understand the maps and all. Since the game has been out for a week now, I can understand that people are having trouble with connection to the main server.

Sometimes, you will have to wait for the server randomly push you into some other lobby.

Third, Nope... I don't know..

For the US XBox Account,that you will have to create another topic. They will help you.

Cheers,mate.

With TM (maybe 2MB/s), how would you describe the game performance? Are there noticeable issues which affect your performance in game? Frustrating or pleasure to play?

UniFi is under TM basically. Game performance,if you know your game, everything's good.

Like I said, UniFi is stable. Just that the server like Treyarch or EA can be unstable at times.

Frustrating? Yes,at times though. People camping in Call of Duty series are frustrating. And yes,it even leads to some.."arguements with your controller" moment.

LOL!!!

Yeah... bloody campers, but its hard since COD maps are mostly small. Its a bit of a twitch fest..... but addictive.

So I am thinking if you use TM Streamyx Broadband and get good performance in terms of lag, latency and connectivity, do you think it is reasonable to assume that
I should get good results with TM UNIFI?

thanks.

Unifi is fine for Live. I'm using the 5Mbps speed and I have not issues playing with other players locally and in the region (Australia, Taiwan, HK, Singapore, Japan, etc).

Any fiber broadband Internet service should be ok as well. Just sign up and enjoy.

Added on November 20, 2012, 8:15 pmYes,you will definitely have a good time with TM's UniFi. I'm not sure about other broadbands but UniFi is the only trusted one I know of.

Yes, campers must die. The maps, I think Treyarch made it a little bigger this time round.

You will not have a problem with it. I suggest you will either sign up for the 5Mbps which is the cheapest and 20Mbps the expensive one. I just upgraded from 5 to 10Mbps. Haven't try out the speed yet but I'm about to.

using 4mbps streamyx, no problem so far aside on rare occasion experience lag due to server or tm fault..

Thanks to everyone for replying.

I feel a lot better now.

I don't know what I would do if I couldn't get my daily fix of LIVE!

One more thing:

I have already researched what locations I can get it so I know where to go live, but is it easy to set up and how long does it take for them to set it up given the fact that the apartments are already wired for UNIFI?

D

2 hours top. But..if you want a better connection, then I would suggest you to rent a house or something.

You'll be surprised that I'm using 512kbps Screamyx with minimal MP lag XD

im using P1 Wimax for home 2mbps so far i've online playing red dead,max payne 3, dirt 3, forza horizon with no problem..only lags in cod:mw3..sometimes..

This is because the server will find games that matches your speed and ping....thats why even if you are using 512kB/s there is no lag.

it doesn't matter, I've connected to some US player with no lag as well

Hi there

Well I am in KL at last.

Now I am here I am thinking about going with Astro IPTV

Does anyone have any experience with this and how does Xbox live perform?

I am thinking about getting 10MB/s. Do you think that this is enough or should I jsut go with the 24MB/s?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

D

Congrats on your choice and I tink regardless of ISP the XBOX LIVE experience should be great as they're using TM backbone afterall.

10mbps is fast enough for even HD video so for XBOX LIVE shouldn't be a problem.

10's good.

Thanks guys

Astro are soming next week to install everything.

I hope it will be ok.

I am missing my Battlefield 3 fix....

and now you can migrate your account to Malaysia by clicking this link

let say if i change my region to US..can i stream ESPN with vpn n dns??

I think it mentioned only relevant to XBOX Live Supported regions?

Is Malaysia supported by XBOX Live?

If I don't migrate my account from the US can I still play on LIVE?

What are the actual advantages of migrating my account from the US to Malaysia?

thanks

Don't migrate to xboxlive malaysia. Limited marketplace, limited apps, games and services, no gold. The only advantage is, as some have pointed out is that marketplace items might be cheaper.

thanks for the heads up mate....

Playing with my US account in Malaysia (KL) will be ok though right?

Still have access to all online multiplayer with no problems?

Shouldn't hav e problem. the only issue might be downloading those region locked content....

Will I have any problems dowloading patches or DLC given the fact that my console and games are all US versions now that I am in Malaysia

I know for a fact that certain games like Gears have probelms with downloading DLC due to the those being region locked.

I can only recall Gears having this problem.

Anyone have any experience problems with other games?

thanks

Only got problem on your account for DLC. For GoW case you must use US account and download using US carrier. a VPN can help on this.

This kinda problem is usually console independent.

Hi guys

If I migrate to US account from SG, which state should I use for the address cause if I remember correctly there is some state in the US which has cheaper games to buy because of tax exemptions

Irrelavant as same game price across XBL.

You can just get an address from USABox.com and register that address.
