And I just got my monthly subscription waive (due to not able to go online), no need to shout at the customer service officer just be firm about your right they will just do it.

I believe Maxis cap the torrent tracker... when I try to download famous tracker like yify with high seed and leech the speed will be cap.. but download from less famous tracker... the speed is as usual.

Sometimes I keep update the tracker for famous torrent like yify and in about 1/2 hour the speed will rise 6 time the cap limit.

if the ping latency is high for internet service, does this also affect your astro iptv services ?

Bro, thanks for your help, successfully changed the DNS (to google DNS, unblock-us not yet).

Just wanna check, do you ever need to go back to unblock-us website to activate vpn every time maxis reboot the connection? I read in the forum maxis 'refresh' the internet connection every 48 hours.

I don't need to. No problem so far.

Ok.. some review..
Got it last week (Saturday) - 10MBps line

Suprised to see both Unifi contractor + maxis installer at the same time.
Both are friendly. Installation finished in 1 hour. Feels RM 170 is quite expensive for over the ceiling installation. Anyhow, unifi contractor willing to give more than 15m without extra charge. Installation are tidy.

Being told unlimited download by the maxis guy -> Kena con
Throttle to 50KBps for 6 hours.. @@ (Found out the 2nd day)
This duration = anything oso slower than usual. Ping response quite high.

The router is thomson brand. Blardy useless. Cant even change dns. So little stuff to configure. Even my old streamyx router have more stuff to configure than this crap. So far it held quite ok. No restart so far. Maybe coz I use chikai fan to cool it.

I have existing VPN account. Sometimes work sometimes not. Headache here. Any suggestion?? If work, can get up to 1.1MBps. When it is not working, download speed like 1 to 2KBps. Average around 500-700KBps.
When download, I still can surf. But not always.

Questions.
1. The TM device thingy got 4 ports. Can use other port to connect or only connect to Thomson router?
2. Anyone using Microtik router? Any review? If change router, the phone still can use?
3. Anyway to change the dns in Thomson router?

P/S : I think streamyx is much more stable and faster than this.

Bro, you can try out this link to change router: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2384890
My installation will take place later this month and I am starting to do some homework on how to use my own router. Bought an Asus RT-N66U and preconfigured it based on what I gathered. Fingers crossed, it should work when I just plug it in. If you are using Maxis VOIP, you will need to keep the Thomson router for the phone's sake. Otherwise you can try the following link to configure your modem to and use for VOIP: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2710206

About your installation, RM170 for ceiling installation? Mind sharing what did they do for the RM170?

Just 2 posts above yours has info on how to change dns. Btw, change to public IP, the VPN might work better

RM 170 includes

1. from outside pole to back of my house wall (the black line + the termination point thingy - gray color 1 (free))
2. from outside wall drill one hole ngam ngam above my ceiling then lay the fiber cable + microconduit (cover for fiber) then to my room (just the fiber)
3. they will then use the hook to hold the fiber cable (something like white hook + nail - if you have astro, u will know) to nail it to the wall, less clutter that way

RM 170 cash give to unifi contractor for item 2 and 3. Above 15m got extra charge. Calculate per meter.

thx. will try the vpn later after I change the DNS

bro, mind sharing which area you live ? i also in the mids of changing from astro byond to byond.iptv. if not, i will only change the internet from streamyx to maxis only. no astro byond.iptv since a lot of complaints that maxis connections sxxxx big time.

nearby hospital ampang @ pandan mewah area. Luckily I got the last slot. If not.. wait a few months.. @@

how much is the termination fee for maxis home fibre RM118/month promotion package? i heard its RM2500 from my friend who gonna terminate it.

if u hv 118 pack, tat mean it almost 1year already... u can terminate anytime...

still another year of contract. But i think you can terminate with RM500 penalty, I believe Maxis has revised their termination policy

hi all,

i have my old Belkin N Wireless Router F5D8236-4.is it compatible for maxis home fibre or not?

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/b...reless_f5d82364

Yup, Maxis FTTH serve me well all the while, but I do experience extremely slow speed or no connection few times from last year until now.
torrent usually can get full speed also...but same as u during reak hour it's slower to reach full speed.
file sharing site download, I can reach full speed because I use rapid premium, and ryushare premium.

Why terminate? Since you are enjoying the lowest rate for a fiber connection nowadays??

im asking on behave of my friend who going to move out from his current rental and new rental have unifi

anybody know where to download latest firmware for the technicolor router?
