Methinks a 500mbps user would need a gigabit class router.

WiFi at least N600 and LAN ports supporting gigabit ethernet.

Probably should check with @jjj2 or @yeapch01

RM129 for 10->100

RM179 for 100withQuota->300
RM179 for 20->300

RM219 for 30->500
RM249 for 50->500

For as long as we don't terminate? Wow, users on 30Mb@RM219 untung lo - 'discount' RM80 from RM299 forever.

Stay positive, it's less untung. Not rugi

My guess is this was a business decision by Time mgmt and also due to the contracts signed by subscribers.

Perhaps if Time auto-upgrades RM219/30Mb users to 500Mbps and RM249/50Mb users to 1Gbps, we'll feel better?

Or maybe if both previously 30Mb and 50Mb subscribers get RM80 discount and pay only RM219 per mth till termination of service?

Same here, I am paying RM249 for 50Mbps, highest speed available from Time for Home Fibre up till yesterday.

Now it just happens to be upgraded to 500Mbps for the same price, which is really great for me. And 500Mbps is still the highest speed from Time.

Based on what I know about the upgrade, these are the user scenarios I forsee:

1. 10Mb/RM129 = Yay, now 100Mb! RM20 discount some more, not RM149.

2. 20Mb/RM179 = Yay, now 300Mb! RM10 discount some more, not RM189.

3. 30Mb/RM219 = Yay, now 500Mb! RM80 discount, whoa!! Ha ha 50Mb users pay RM249 and get the same speed as us!

4. 50Mb/RM249 = Yay, now 500Mb! RM50 discount, nice! But how come 30Mb users pay RM30 less for same speed??

5. 100Mb/RM179 with Quota = Yay, now no Quota! And RM149 a month! Eh, how come we don't get 300Mb for RM179?? Eh, how come 10Mb users get 100Mb but only pay RM129??

6. New subscriber = Damn it, why the old Time users get better deals??

Still same at rm249. Not more..

I know. Maybe Time can reconsider but for now it's what it is. 30mb users pay 219 and 50mb users pay 249. Per existing contracts.

I haven't fully tested with devices on WIFI but on wired LAN to my AC68U, I can get close to 500Mbps on my laptop.

Currently using tp-link av600 model TL-PA6010 (kit came with a pair) to connect my router in the living room with my home PC in the study room. Stable and relatively speedy. Getting about 300mbps network speed.

Am planning to upgrade to the av1200 model soon thanks to Time's crazy Internet speed upgrade.

I bought my av600 pair in 2014 for rm200. The new av1200 kit goes for about rm300-rm350 I believe.

PM me too, bro. Would love to hear your thoughts on homeplug aka powerline kit upgrades for my home.

Thanks for your router recommendation bro. The ac68u is indeed a pocket monster!! Happy user here although 500mbps Internet feels a bit overkill. Perhaps will move down to 300mbps instead ha ha.

Note: Not a heavy torrent downloader. Prefer to stream video, no issues with multiple 1080p streams at the same time. TIME Fibre rocks!!

According to this review, the performance you're getting on wireless with the AC88U seems to be par for the course.

With my Time Fibre connection, I can usually get about 250Mbps in the same room with my iPhone6 and Note5, and 200Mbps in the next room with my TP-Link AC1200 USB wifi adapter. On wired connection, definitely can get 480+Mbps.

Edit: Using an Asus RT-AC68U router with Time Fibre 500Mbps.
