Since you are an old time user smile.gif would like to get your POV and others as well

I'm on streamyx now but contemplating to upgrade to either Unifi or IPTV (Astro + Maxis Fiber).

How had Maxis been, do they resolve issues fast. Looking at 2-3 pages ago of this thread, is kinda scary, where it takes them so long to fix.

Is the torrent throttle real? how long it gets? normally for 10Mb line, one should be about to get download speed to around 1MBps, so is yours close to that, and how low it gets during the throttle period (8pm -2am?)

Thanks and ALL

Hhmmm im from Subang Area, so far the only Maxis issue I face is the routing problem happens like last 2 weeks? within 3-5 days its settled for me.

The default router that comes with maxis (Thomsan TG784n) is lousy, random reboot 2-3 times a week but after all this years it seems like it only happens maybe 1-2 times a month now (They remotely upgraded the firmware). Not many GUI options in the router config page, mostly have to be done on Telnet command. Im still using the router lazy to change, need to use the VOIP service.

To me torrent runs on full speed, im on private tracker didn't really notice any throttle on my end. download speed is top at 1mb down /1mb up

Notice most of the time when they are doing some service/ service down its mostly around 1am-2am.

I think that's about it

Thanks IccyAsd, that do give some confidence. I'm from Subang as well smile.gif

I do alot of work from home, so having downtime, would make me crazy. Streamyx been awesome, no issues what so ever, last 10yrs. Torrent runs perfect for my 1M line (130kBps). Youtube streaming up to 360k, no buffering.

Cheers

I am on Maxis and below are some consideration before I migrated from Unifi to Maxis

a) BTU kaput and need replacement - the procedure will take ages, Workaround is to find backup BTU (same brand) and configure it your self.

b) Maxis router - very sucky in term of torrenting and WiFi, but easy solution. It can be replaced with custom router

c) Fiber network at your place down, this will take ages too since priority will be given to Unifi subscriber.

Thanks for Point 1 and 2.. My place has fiber, so the application process should be speedy, I presume
