QUOTE(blankerroo @ Nov 5 2014, 03:04 PM) Furthermore, has anyone tried streaming Netflix 4K stream (example shows: The Blacklist, House of Cards) with Time Fibre? I wanna see whether it is able to stream at full quality or not. Netflix's official requirement for 4K streams is at least 17 Mbps Internet connection if I'm not mistaken. All these while, I've been streaming Netflix at 1080p Super HD and Hulu Plus at 720p HD at full quality with no issues at all, using my Maxis Fiber connection at 10 Mbps. But it would be even better if I could have multiple simultaneous high quality streams, so that my children can stream via iPad while I can watch via Apple TV, while at the same time downloading on my computer, with no drop in video quality. Anybody tried the above using Time Fibre? If you are already enjoying good performance from Maxis Fibre, why wanna change? I have no complain on Time Fibre until recently where the line speed starts to drop. Mine is on astro IPTV package by the way and I dont know whether it affect the whole performance or not.

QUOTE(blankerroo @ Nov 5 2014, 02:56 PM) Guys, I stumbled upon this thread when trying to find out how Time Fibre Home Broadband performs in the real world as opposed to on-paper specs listed on their website. Question: Is Time Fibre Home Broadband available at 3 Residen Condominium, Desa Melawati? I tried searching for it via the availability search website (http://time.com.my/help/availabilitysearch.asp) but couldn't find my condo listed there. Just wanted to confirm whether this is true with you guys just in case the website is not up-to-date. Hi Bro, Thank you for dropping by to this thread...welcome Bro  I'm sorry as 3 Residen is not yet ready for service. Feel free to PM me your particulars, we'll keep you posted once it's ready. Cheers

Anybody tried the above using Time Fibre? Hi Bro, For true 4K streaming, it's advisable to have bandwidth at least 20Mbps & above. If you are able to stream smoothly with Maxis Fiber, definitely there is no problem with Time Fibre... just be reminded avoid the given E1200 Router if you want better performance. Thanks.

I have no complain on Time Fibre until recently where the line speed starts to drop. Mine is on astro IPTV package by the way and I dont know whether it affect the whole performance or not. I am enjoying good performance, but I'm thinking of the future when a lot of Netflix streams will be on 4K. For now I don't even have a 4K TV, but when I do in the future, I would want to upgrade my broadband speed to at least 20 Mbps and above, which on paper Time Fiber is the most economical way to go. Time Fibre's prices when compared to Maxis Fiber is even lower, and Time Fibre doesn't implement quota at all (at least that's what I read when comparing the T&C between Time & Maxis Fiber; Maxis is like Unifi where they specifically state in the T&C they have a quota system and reserve the right to implement it in the future, but for now they do not yet impose it). To me, at least on paper, Time Fiber is the way to go. But as jjj2 mentioned, it's not yet available in my condo, so maybe in the future hopefully.

Hi Bro, Yes many are facing the same problem. You have the following options : 1) Upgrade to Time Business Router (Cisco SRP527W) (need some tweaks, default firmware is buggy as well) 2) Try Cisco Routers such as 1800/1900 Series 3) You may utilize your Firewall to connect. PM me if you need detailing. Thanks.

Yes Bro,..the Unifi & Maxis Fiber quota based policy that has already highlighted in the T&C is not favorable to us. Stay tuned Bro...good things come last..LOL

Dear Bro You can consider Asus Router RT-N14UHP , the firmware is very stable and coverage at wide range. Cost of The asusrouter only lesst than RM300.

Hi Bro, Not worry about this...as long as you have not activated your Unifi, you may still cancel it. Eventhough you have got it installed, you can switch over to Time Fibre, under Easy Switch Promo, you will be given back RM500 rebate to cover your Unifi Penalty. Cheers

Hi Bro, Sounds not too good...lately couple of months drop of speed especially on Astro IPTV package has been noticed. No worries Bro, I'll show you some guides on further checking. Feel free to refer to your PM. Thanks.

On another note, are you on Astro IpTV package? When your contract expires, I highly suggest you stop IpTV and go instead for streaming services like Netflix & Hulu Plus. Much more worth it. And cheaper too.

Does Time Fibre work with Apple Airport Extreme? I have one at home now, but I use it in "Bridge mode" (did I get the term right?), i.e. Just using it as a WiFi access point while my actual router is the one supplied by Maxis. Maxis doesn't allow using other routers, but there are unofficial ways to bypass that blockage. Still, I'm not techy enough to do it myself so I don't bother. What about Time Fibre? They allow using Apple Airport Extreme?

My wife and mother LOVES TVB Drama and also sports. Dont think stopping Astro is an option. I dont want to go back to the satellite option as well because of the raining issue. So far astro has been good BUT the internet sucks man. When I call them, they said its because of me not using cable. What a lame excuse. Sigh!!! By the way, my package is 10mb with booster of 30hour to 20mb. This post has been edited by LeoLilieno: Nov 6 2014, 09:22 AM

QUOTE(LeoLilieno @ Nov 5 2014, 02:32 PM) I dont have cable long enough for this. I will try to do speedtest BUT wifi lar, tonight and see how it goes. Your line is 100mb? If not, how to get 50-60mbps. I jealous lar. My location at Tmn Tun Yeah, I got the 100Mbps (100GB quota) plan. Though it never goes close to even 80Mbps, it still does me good. Btw, I would suggest you borrow some cable to really know your TIME's potential. Before connecting to a cable, it was only like 30-40Mbps for me.
