I also want to know more.
Y dun just place the details + price here or PM me

There is sumtin wrong with Maxis network again.
But than again everyday also got just today much worse.
Some connections are being looped around (TTL expired in transit)
Do a tracert on say thepiratebay.se and you will see that it goes through the same server over and over again.

Must change to another ISP if still this crazy at the end of 2 years

Just to confirm what everyone else is saying, replacing the Thomson router with an Asus router will solve most if not all of the problems. Did that over the weekend and have no issues so far. But as far as I know that does not solve the latency issue as that issue lies with Maxis and the way they route their data. For example, as famously also mentioned here most if not all connection to Singapore goes through Hong Kong first for reasons unknown.

TLDR

Gamers who want low latency go UNIFI
Downloaders who want high bandwidth for cheap go MAXIS (Have to replace default router though)

MAXIS + ASTRO = Don't even think about the migraine you will get just to save money

The wireless signal from the provided Thomson router is not the best and it also tends to freeze or restart once in a while.
In addition, the Thomson router has a NAT Table Overflow problem whereby opening the Steam server browser will kill the connection.
The ASUS router I'm using now has been up and running stable ever since I got it.

Yes. Unfortunately that's the only way to get the phone working.
So its now TM Modem to Asus Router for Wireless internet and than the Thomson Router connected to the Asus for VOIP.

I spotted the problem already. You're still using the Thomson router
Seriously just change to the ASUS N12 like me and enjoy the problem free connectivity.

Currently in testing.

I've seen this before and did not want to risk anything as it looks quite complex.
Also I'm fine with having an extra device just to handle the VOIP.
Anyway good job for having managed to remove the Thomson router completely.

As far as I'm concern the VOIP goes unused. No one in the house uses it and as long as I get my high speed internet without headaches, I ain't complaining anymore.

Firstly make sure you have the username and password for your Maxis fiber somewhere. Than, just remove all the cables from the old Thomson router and plug in the Asus N12 in its place. Leave the cable position from the TM modem the same which goes to the WAN port of the Asus router. I can't remember VOIP but it's from LAN2 or LAN3 of the Asus router connect to the Thomson router. To get it to connect, just follow the Setup Wizard in the Asus router and select MaxisFiber.

What "dangerous" website isit? I have never encountered such a thing so far.

I think the access problem has been solved since it loads for me

It's somewhere in the Thomson router configurations or the technician got write it down somewhere among the documents he passed upon installation. Assuming it's not public id it should look like XXXXXXX@home.maxis.com.my and the password will be the same XXXXXX +1 at the back (XXXXXX1).

I did this with my laptop whereby I set the DNS to Google's server. Than about a week ago, I got hit with the infamous Website Blocked. Only after changing the DNS on my new Asus router than did everything return to normal. So word of advice, change the DNS on everything! And I mean everything be it the router or device!

Same issue here at Subang.

So I also manage to get in early and was not throttled for quite some time when it was first implemented. I have now been though and recently it looks like the cap has been raised to 100kb/s from 50. So maybe once they start seeing that you download a lot they will put you on the throttling list. I might be wrong but won't be surprised if some people are not throttled at all from 8pm - 2am for torrents if it's occasional. I have no info on weekend torrenting but I can test it out if there's a request.

As for the direct downloads the past 2 weeks were quite bad from Uploaded and Rapidgator. Was only averaging about 300kb/s but since 2 days ago it seems to have return to normal and I get the full 1Mb/s.

EDIT: And just a few hours in after typing this, the direct downloads from Uploaded has been cut to a quarter. Can't tell if Maxis at fault or the server side.

So I've done some science into the speed degradation for both direct and torrent. Firstly, my uptobox, uploaded and rapidgator downloads are coming from France whereby the line is unstable at the moment. Sometimes you get full speed but mostly less than half. Due to that I've been torrenting a lot more now and at exactly 8PM it slows down to 100KB instead of 50KB previously and by turning on anonymous mode, it puts me back to 1MB. This should be the same as Level 5 traffic shaping avoidance in Vuze I believe.

Much better now but still have rare instances where sometimes some websites do not load fully. Consider it 90% fixed and assume this is the best we gonna get cause I doubt Maxis is aiming for perfection.
