it's quite straightforward for diy.

but if buying at shop (not online), can get the guy there to configure for u since u already have the userid n pw which r required when changing router. if pre-configured, u just get home, replace (same wiring/connections), plug n play only!

nice.


they now give motorola phone? my panasonic, still good after 3+yrs.
anyway, i have plugged it into an ordinary phone before, it works, so u can try any phone!

i m shocked so many cases where users don't test during installation, then ask if this or that should work or not?!

too busy, just let maid open door to them, assume all ok?

unifi throttling... never had, not now, will not happen in foreseeable future.

if still using the crappy orig unifi router, there u hv it - that's the problem.

replace it, all will be gud, forever....!

best u can never get, go for it!

take the rm209. if u miss this, u may not get a better package. assuming u want a mix of hypp's english best - variety, news, kids, movies, tv series, sports.

hypptv bandwidth is extra, does not count in yr 5mbps.

what i read here is the unifi was installed by yr past tenant, passed on to next tenant. now u as landlord want to continue or u r kind to change router for current tenant.

the usual practice for tm/unifi or any tel line is: tenant's name, tenant deal with all of it incl routers, terminate when leaving. this is to protect landlord as phone/internet bill can run into thousands.

which means if yr current or future tenants run up the bill n then cabut, the 1st one who registered will be the one unifi will go after. not sure if that will affect yr application for unifi again with same addr under another name...

i think rm169 only offered to users in highrise with intense competition with time and/or maxis.

other places with unifi monopoly, no chance.

yr case may also be due to competition while the apt case have no competition.

ya, all kinds... nobody knows how, why and when do 169, 179, 199; with or without hypp pack 1, 2, 3; free one month or none; change equipment or none; sign new contract or none.

i gave up trying to understand how they offer but seems there is no std format....

yr rm199vip10 probably has megapack.
when i called them last week, was told you can go vip20 jumbo by paying additional rm60 = rm259.

no, u can't get vip20 by giving up megapack and same rm199. but u can go vip20 keep mega by paying additional rm50, but no jumbo.

and u can't swap mega for jumbo with additional rm10, still vip10.

anyway, i am not very sure about all this. but that's what i got when i called. others seem to have been told diff things when they call. so, maybe their cs dept also blurr due to so many types n variations, can be diff depending who u speak to...?!!

i had intermittent disconnects 2-3 days ago. my unifi btu and own asus router are both quite new, <6 months.

i could not tell if it was due to btu or router or just bad unifi line. tolerated it for 2 days.

the problem has disappeared, all normal now. my conclusion: it was purely unifi line problem.

lifetime. mine kaput after 3 yrs, replaced foc.

8 bits = 1 byte.

yr 10mbps is 10megabits (mbps) per sec = 1.25 megabytes per sec (MBps)

if u r getting 1.1, that's pretty good.

try changing to better router, ethernet and not wifi, u might get 1.20 MBps!

this is news of the year!

please, please, tell us more:

.. location
.. house or highrise
.. thru agent or direct tmpoint or?
.. with any hypptv or not?
.. how long is the contract?

tq.

please, please.... explain...

what is oku... orang kurang upaya... i.e. handicapped?

jkm - ?

tq.

ok, all clear.

for oku and staff only.

nothing earth shattering...

rm219 is good price, even with 2 yr contract.

it will be very helpful for some of us if u can share some details:

1.. how much u paid for vip10 before?
2.. how long had u been on vip 10?
3.. what location... e.g. pj, selangor?
4.. is this a house or highrise?
5.. any competition like maxis or time?
6.. did they change modem, router and hypptv box?
7.. does this deal come with any hypptv pack like jumbo or platinum or ruby or mega or just the basic?

tqvm.

thanks for response, appr it.

if no equipment renewal, no hypptv at all, highrise with maxis as competition, i can understand.

overall, looks fair.

i talked to them... for my case 3.5 yrs with unifi, in shah alam, house, with hypptv megapack, unifi will not give 2 hoots to my request to get what u got. i pay rm199 for vip10 and must pay rm249 for vip20. no ifs n buts, they tell me.

ya, i think u do have the basic hypptv pack, which u dun use. really, it is pretty much worthless...

maxis... i also tot of switching but it bothers me to read reports of maxis throttling dwnld speed at certain times of the day or night and astro iptv works only with original and not other routers. i hate it when a vendor tries to control too much, all to squeeze more from my pocket.

yr experience may be explained by something that happens every 2-3 months or so with unifi, but not streamyx.

not official explantion but strong suspicion unifi bandwidth quota for traffic dwnld from china often gets limit up - it slows down and then to nothing until next cycle begins.

unifi heavy users of china sites will know it happened in sept, nov 2014 and now.
