I already test for you. Upload very fast, 700kB/s but download back the file from Amazon Cloud, 6~30kB/s nia... Not sure why upload so fast, download so slow.

How do you view that? I didn't see any option for home broadband when I clicked to sign up. I'm using my sister's name for home fiber and she don't have any mobile plan.

Where do I get the VoIP no? My home fibre no is invalid.

nonsense... not all are throttled...

I think the possibility of being throttled to 5mbps is low unless you are a heavy user. I used to be a heavy user too, but ever since Astro start promoting 2nd/3rd decoder for RM50, my torrenting is quite low unless when I get too free and start going crazy again (due to the fact I stopped going to cinema ever since my first son was born 5 years ago). Even so, my torrent for each month is about 100GB at best (I'm pretty sure I didnt download that much but somehow my utorrent stats seem to differs from what my memory told me).

Yup. Still getting 10-30kB/s.

On a side note, I have changed my router to 12U HP and I gotta said better than stock router. Hopefully can get my 14U HP on Monday/Tuesday to compare. Range is better and seem like transfer speed more stable when using WiFi.

You should report via SKMM instead of CFM. CFM is actually under SKMM, therefore you should know who has the bigger authority.

Personally, I have positive feedbacks regarding SKMM.

1. Maxis mobile internet user having problem accessing Clash of Clans game. It was blocked by Maxis out of the blue. After almost 1month++ of rage through Maxis forum, SKMM report by a group of users, it was rectified.

2. OKU discount for Home Fibre. Signed up for Maxis Home but before installation, Maxis already removed it. Waiting for more than a month before the installation commence. After that, they billed me the normal price. They did not rectify it after 2-3 trips to Maxis Center, and I went straight with SKMM. Took just a week to get it done

The thing is that once you go the SKMM route, your case will be handled by another department in Maxis, specialized for SKMM or high priority customer service (My guess since the person in charge of your case will keep calling back to update from time to time). They will call you back in few days time after the first email confirmation from SKMM staff.

If you asked me, I think Maxis throttle the connection is very likely. I noticed that I have no problem accessing the sites which load up pretty fast. Even when uploading to Youtube or Amazon Cloud itself, it is pretty good. Just the downloading sucks. I cant think of anything other than an evil handbrake.

No, you need to request for public ip. By default, its private ip and port forwarding dont works which explained the slow speed. So far only Xunlei works without public ip.

Call Maxis to ask for public ip.

There is only one problem with Xunlei. It uses port 80. No doubt its easily the fastest client but it also render other users unable to use the internet by hogging the bandwidth.

Why not use the Asus router as main? Do you use the VOIP?

I replaced mine with the Asus RT-N14UHP. Almost same with N12HP but with 3x 9dBi and USB port. Like how they QoS work. Also try to set N mode only.

The only limitation of these Broadcom powered router (RT-N12/14 HP) is that it is still 2x2 only. If you really want even better speed when serving multiple devices, get one with 3x3 like Asus RT-N66U, but you might not get the range you wanted.

Actually I think 2.4GHz wont penetrate walls lor, despite people kept saying its possible. After I upgraded to RT-N12HP (for office) and RT-N14UHP (for home), I find that it does provide better coverage overall, but if you are stuck in a room with 4 walls, no windows with a single door, it either wont reach or very slow response. The only area I cant cover was the toilet downstair.

Torrent? You need ask Maxis for public IP. Once you get it, then can torrent easily.

I think its okay if just streaming locally. My wife been using Astro on the go everyday and not suffering from any speed issue, even though I suffer some slowdown due to the broken submarine cable.

RM25 discount every month is worth it.

Updating from my previous post while ter-using my bro account.

I have attached a screenshot. I think my usage still okok... not too heavy. Torrent is definitely not a problem, except for video streaming and file sharing sites (except for mediasharemediafire).

Personally I think yes.

How do I check? I will download via my pc using Maxis and usually somewhere around 50-70kB/s. Even with Streamyx, I managed 120kB/s.

So what I did is download the same file via Maxis 3G. True enough Im getting somewhere between 90-100kB/s. I used to download samsung firmware a lot from Sammobile who host them via Hotfiles. Strangely though, only mediafire (now I recalled correctly, I named them mediashare wrongly in the previous post) was not affected. It can reach few hundreds kB/s easily.

I cant really comment on Rapidgator since I never used it before.

All fibre optic started with a quota package but not implemented because TM encouraging the switch from StreamyX to UniFi.

Maxis FTTH 10MBPS has a quota of 100GB but not implemented. I think some people screenshot before that Maxis is already tracking their usage somewhat. I think in near future, it may really start to cap when number of users increase.

I wonder if Maxis is secretly capping us.

I switched to Asus router few months ago without any problem. I didnt even suspect anything when my torrent max out at 5mbps a month or two ago. I only realized it when I accidentally bumped into another forumer's post regarding speed being halved when using non Maxis router.

I went ahead and test it myself. I get 5mbps speedtest now with Asus router, while I still consistently get 10mbps with Maxis router. Im surprised by the finding. Capping by router model? First time heard.

OK... finally found the culprit.

Apparently the culprit is Asus own software... Smart QOS on Asus router crippled half of the available bandwidth.

Maybe Asus should do a guide on how to set this up properly.
