Thanks. looking forward to your PM then. Arigato.

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.

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.

Stop Astro? 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.

Actually 4k streaming is tipu wan...even full HD streaMing also tipu...Netflix is good..but nowhere near the FullHD of typical bluray disc which needs a bit rates of 30Mbps or more...
Netflix is currently only around 5Mbps I think..for their 'SuperHD'.
The internet dont have so much bandwidth yet for true FullHD streaming yet....much less 4K. Abou 30pct of bandwidth in USA internet already sucked up by Netflix currently...and that's not even true FullHD yet!

That said, the quality of Netflix video is pretty good...just dont buy into the 4K hype too much....having the resolution without the actual content is useless. We can have 1080p rips at about 2GB file size...we all know how the quality is...everything downsampled and all details lost. Yeah..it is 1080p....but no point.

I don't know what legal streaming sources you can go for to watch TVB dramas, but for sports, you do have an alternative to Astro. I watch my Champions League through Watch ESPN app (on Apple TV or iPad), and my Premier League via NBC Sports Live Extra app on my MacBook or iPad.

So I'm pretty much covered from all angles. All in all the cost is cheaper too.

If you wanna have a look at what's available, do go browse this guy's website: www.izzudrecoba.com. He sells a variety of streaming services packages.

really interested in time fibre after did some reading...unfortunately i've registered with unifi and the installation should be done this coming saturday...thinking of to cancel it and proceed with time fibre...any of u guys here have any experience doing that?

I agree, a true movie buff will swear on his life that Blu-ray is the best quality money can buy to get the best experience from a movie or TV series. And indeed they are. But the thing is, I don't have that much money to burn buying Blu-ray discs for all the movies and TV series I want to watch (and there really is a lot), so the next best thing I can go for is Netflix, Hulu Plus and HBO Go... And never Astro obviously because they are an overpriced mess of a monopoly.

Yeah, I also agree 4K streaming is still at its infancy now. Not much content and the ones that are already available, when I read reviews, they say quality is not that much different compared to 1080p stream. So... Yeah I would give it a number of years to improve first before jumping in.

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.

Bro...you dun need BD disc....BD rips is pretty excellent liao...(if you dun care DTS-MA/DD TrueHD and enough with DTS/DD)....can easily reach 20Mbits+++ for a 8 to 16 GB rip. ..i have a 8TB USB HDD box full of BD rips...

For me, the good latest blockbuster must watch in HD rips at least....the rest TV shows and older movies can stick with Netflix/Hulu.

I have cancelled Astro > 1 year ago.

It the wifi router support Time Fibre?

Good for you canceling Astro. I've cancelled for around 1 year already too. In fact I stopped watching Astro since 2 years ago but had to continue my account for 1 more year due to Super Pack contract.

BD Rips, HD Rips, etc are all not original right? I mean you have to download it somewhere (torrent etc.) I try my best to avoid these illegal downloading activities anymore and support legal methods only. However this is just my opinion only and I don't want to judge others. At least this way I'm supporting the content owners but sticking it to Astro though!

But again I'm not judging, everybody has their own style so you go on ahead asalkan don't support Astro is good enough! Hehe.

Usually I have watched like 50 pct of the movies I download at Cinema.
So I feel I have contributed enough to get a copy to watch again when I feels like it.


Anyway, I subscribe to both Netflix and Hulu as well.

Also watch tvb HD directly from hk...perfectly legal..(if you are in Hk...haha).
