This is not good practice, instead of being fair and giving the rest equal distribution of optical power, they're splitting Non Unifi reserved ports to other ISP users?



I'm displeased not with the R&R issues in this country but even Non-Unifi port users not get splitted ports?

22.17dBM quite risky there. Given Malaysian extreme humid weather and bad maintenance practices, in a year or 2 your signal level will degrade soon enough.

Once 23-34dBm, at the borderline level you'll start experiencing frequent line disconnects and stability issues.

The ideal signal level is 18-19dBm.Anything above I don't suggest going for gigabit plans in future.

You never turn on your DHCPv6 server how are you going to obtain an IPv6 address with your clients and get your packets routed?

Not guaranteed that they'll reassign you another dedicated port if you move to Unifi now that they've already given you one with a BTU(ONT modem) resolving your case with a 2:1 splitter for a Non-Unifi assigned port.

The team will just come swap your router with a Unifi one.

Until the problem re-arise and complaints are made and escalated in future they won't be touching anything considering if your area has high demand and there are no longer any spare vacant ports.

I was previously a Maxis Fibre user before for over 6 years. Made the brave move to finally invest in a modem and cut my cords since I'm a light user and don't spend time at home.

No longer tied to contracts and I've lessen my monthly bills. Previously I was on 30M Fibre paying extra every month for public IP. Now I spend almost half and enjoying speeds more than 10X before.

Malaysian fibre internet which is outdated was recently shaken by 5G just like many other developed markets such as US, Japan and HK.

Avoid the monopoly player in your housing garden which is purposely manipulating the ports supply and avoid contracts if I were you.

The ageing HSBB GPON network is almost approaching its 20 years lifespan already.

We're due for a 2nd generation FTTH network in few years time.

Nope, by still insisting to use that monopolized network is akin to bending over and accepting the whip of their monopolistic practices.

You're not going to pressure them to change their practices but instead keep supporting their ways.

There shouldn't be ports limitation when your network was planned well initially. Splitters are on the cheap now. It's well known to be made up to create that scarcity to force users to subscribe to their own brand ISP with unfair advantage.

How can a wholesale provider competes directly in the same business as the rest of its retail providers(RSPs/ISPs) that rent port from them. It's a disaster recipe.

Thank DNB for waking up and not to follow the same failed footsteps as TM.

You've managed to obtain an IPv6 from Maxis. It's just your LAN routing now.
IPv6 WAN is already up.

On this screen:



For IPv6, are there any options besides Auto(DHCP)? No other options such as SLAAC/Native? Leave prefix delegation ON.
Try disabling the IPv6 firewall when troubleshooting and in your network adapter settings for IPv6 on your PC, try to set your IP address and DNS as auto assign instead of using static?

Perhaps you can try tinkering with static IP on your computer by manually assigning an IPv6 prefix to your computer's network adapter?

Maintain IPv6 Auto(DHCP) with firewall turned off, but manually assign a fixed unique IPv6 with the same prefix assigned dynamically by Maxis to your network adapter?

Prefix length 64

Need to subscribe to Maxis Postpaid plan and pair both your Postpaid line and Maxis Home Fibre before they issue you that USB 4G modem last time.

But need to be careful in future if you want to port out your mobile number or fibre line even if you have no contract you must request to debundle both lines before they allow port out.

Key here is Maxis Family Plan Bundle.

Not worth it actually both Maxis Postpaid (cheapest) + Home Fibre Plan Bundle together it's almost RM200 with VAT.

Since your Postpaid is already made unlimited, no lost for Maxis to issue you an extra unlimited data backup SIM that is tied to the 4G dongle.

RM200 might as well subscribe an unlimited prepaid plan or the cheapest fibre plan out there at roughly almost half the price. RM89 + RM50

Of if you need just the data sim consider XOX, TuneTalk, DiGi Prepaid SIM plans which are just under RM65 depending on needs and modem friendly.
