RM 169 if TM calls you.
RM 179 if you call TM.

Not necessary, I received call from TM offering RM179 to upgrade from VIP5 to VIP10, I asked isn't it there is Rm169 offer as well? The CS said currently the offer available is RM179.

So it may depend on their offering.

Yes, you can try.

the Motorola phone come with Unifi, is that a VoIP phone ?
I tried to bring the phone back to my parent house and connect to wall socket, it is working.

It is just a codeless phone.

There is no such thing of ABC phone is a VoIP phone or not.
Any phone works as same. Just how the protocol being used to transfer the voice which is not related to the phone in your hand.

In VoIP, the voice from the phone being carried by the residential gateway (modem) and being delivered via your internet (IP), instead on conventional analog signal.

I subscribe vip5

My download 4.78mbps max
Upload 5mbps+

Ping 68ms

High rise

If i subscribe vip10 would the ping decrease? I cant get playing fifa15 online smoothly on my ps4

Ping has nothing to do with speed.
Even you are having 100mbps, your ping won't become 6ms.

after upgrading from VIP5 to VIP10 my internet speed is not stable, at times on speedtest I'm getting around 7mbps to 9mbps but most of the time it will be below 5mbps  vmad.gif

this happen to my wireless devices and my desktop that is connected on wired to the router. Checked on router no suspicious devices connected on wireless. I'm staying in a condo, 18th floor. Using stock L7 Network router.

anythingI can do before complaining to Unifi support?

Do the test with local server with sole computer connected (wired), see how is the result, as well as different time (night time, early morning as sometimes, speed may not good when line is congested, or server having issue on routing etc)

On and off again, not the first time I encountered this issue. Just on and off the router, reboot the computer can do the job.

Or set manually the DNS server.

Hey fellow UniFi users, just want to ask your opinions.

I hv been using UniFi for about 2 years now without any problem, but a recent development has made me worried.

You see, I live in a terrace residence, and one day my neighbor decided to extend the back area of their house by building a room over their backyard. My outdoor UniFi cable (black colored, but still thin) crosses over a part of the neighbor's backyard towards the telephone pole with the UniFi box...apparently the technician who installed the line did this to minimize how many bends are in the cable for so called 'maximum speed'. I don't know if it's bullsh*t or not.

Anyway, recently, the neighbor's renovation has finished, and now part of my outdoor UniFi cable goes through a small gap in the neighbor's new wall. A small part of the cable has been covered in a small amount of cement, and at one point during the construction, the optic light on the BTU went red for a few seconds because the construction workers were yanking the cable non-stop. I went out to scold them and explain that the fiber cable is fragile, but they ignored me for the most part and continued to treat the cable as just another obstacle.

Right now my line is fine, but I'm worried that the neighbor's inconsiderate act might have damaged the cable in some way. As prevention is better than cure, and I don't want to wait weeks for a TM response while not having internet access, do you think it's a good idea to call a TM technician over to take a look ASAP?

Sorry for long post, and thanks if you read this.

Fiber is not as fragile as many taught.
As long as your connection is fine, don't need to do anything or worry, nor telco will act on something which is working fine.

Fiber is susceptible for "fragile" if the cable is bend or pull excessively.

Fiber although inside is glass, it is protected by insulating materials. It is not exposed, nor as fragile as glass bottle.
A good read on myth of fragile of fiber cable.

What worried me was the drop in connection that one time when the workers tugged at the cable a lot, and the cement that now covers part of the cable, which may eat through or compromise the insulating layer. Insulating materials or not, I noticed that the outdoor black fiber cable is actually thinner than the white indoor one...so while I'm confident that it was designed to withstand weather and temperature, I have my doubts that it is stronger than what it was designed for.

But I guess you are right. If TM won't act on a potential issue, there is not much I can do about it.  unsure.gif

Cement won't "eat" into the cable, in fact cement may add another layer of protection for cable. biggrin.gif

Cement once set is a "stone", while insulating layer is made of polymer materials. So I do not see any science behind that cement can "eat" into the polymer.

We actually have many concealed cable behind our cement wall.

Fiber cable itself is thinner as the glass inside actually very tiny/thin only, barely can be seen by eye.
So there is nothing wrong to be "thin", nor strength wise is comprised by "thin".

Tugging cable resulted in sudden loss of signal is pretty normal.
If the tugged cable is really damage, you cannot online anymore.

Only if there is intermediate loss of signal from time to time, only can confirm something wrong with the SNR of the cable.

wont tugging the cable break the glass inside..? or making it shattered ?

Please don't see the word glass, already think it is easy "shattered".

The glass inside won't just shatter just because you drop the cable to the floor, or tugging a bit.

read on 1st thread. it says that for existing streamyx account, i need to cancel my subscription first?

i just call helpline, they said that they will auto migrate. no need cancellation from my end?

which one is correct?
*
It is best to verify yourself afterwards.

Last time, I was streamyx user that change to Unifi, and in the application form clearly already ticked cancel the old streamyx account once Unifi installed (considered migrate), but after a month later, found out the streamyx account still not yet cancelled.

Highlighted the issue to the customer service later, only then the account being properly closed. No charge on the old streamyx incurred though.
