wan to check any 1 using maxis fiber with astro IPTV? i had a dilemma of choosing between unifi and maxis fiber. currently my astro comes with pvr + satellite dish. I saw there's promo where apply maxis fiber and get rebate off the astro for RM 25 per month. the downside is i had to change to IPTV, cant use the satellite. But my astro decoder is downstair and my fiber is upstair, i really dont wanted to pull another cable. I saw tp-link there's device powerline or something. any 1 using similar setup?

QUOTE(ronnie @ Feb 26 2015, 09:42 AM) You can try this TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT product which I had reviewed here. You plug and connect the TL-PA4010 to your router (upstairs). You plug and connect the TL-WPA4220 to your Astro decoder (downstairs) via Ethernet cable. You can also try the TL-WPA4230P KIT which has integrated power sockets ensure no power outlet is going to waste. I saw some1 said that if getting the Astro IPTV with Maxis Fiber, u need pay extra RM 20 for telephony service? Means the maxis fiber for astro iptv package doesn't comes with phone number? |

QUOTE(krel89 @ Feb 26 2015, 09:19 PM) yeah u have to pay rm20 per month but get rm30 called credit they said but the telephone service is optional.. better save some bucks there. but weirdly, my phone plan still used the older plan which is under rm1 since i reluctantly used it to called, but just receiving called.. so its not my fault anyways, and since it under rm1, i always pay that bills first then astro..  actually i need the telephone number, to send n receive fax, don really need to call. but i guess. there's no way not to pay the rm20 should i need to send n receive fax. right? |

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Mar 2 2015, 01:33 AM) There is a way. Redtone instant office - iFax. Only RM10 per month for a fax line. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1099871&hl=hi there, thanks for your help. but it is not i'm looking for. need a conventional fax line... as i already have a fax machine.. from what i see thru redtone, is sending fax... i'm also looking for receiving fax... regarding p1, i'm 1 of the disgruntled user. been on p1 fiber for rm99 for 2 year.... previously i'm verbally agreed that the price stay on rm99 even contract expired.. but once my contract expired, they inform that will charge me rm149 (normal price). i'm tempted to change to maxis as i noe 148 for 10mbps n get rm25 rebate for astro.. but in the end i did not, cos i wish to retain my number n i have to use astro iptv... until last month... p1 inform me that they are discontinuing the fiber service n since they merge wit TM... it will convert my plan to RM 199 5mbps plan... without asking my permission. thus i straight cancel it and they said would require to wait for a month to take effect. and now, still surveying for the replacement of the ISP... |

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Mar 2 2015, 03:31 PM) REDtone instant office is for incoming and outgoing fax and a bonus free 015 SIP voice line.. The is an on going promo for 10mbps maxis fibre @ RM138 per month. The condition is you must be a Maxis mobile One Plan customer. You can port in to Maxis mobile from other telco too. thanks for ur advise, its ok, stil prefer conventional fax... for the fiber.. i think i made my choice... which is unifi...  at least if the fiber is down... my astro stil function as advise by some user here... |

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Mar 2 2015, 03:51 PM) No problem. Once you have the fibre line, you don't want to waste money on Astro already. Save the Astro money for Apple TV, Roku3, Android TV box and stream for free. astro tv not meant for me... i also understand the goodness of streaming... but old folks just cant used to new tech...  |

QUOTE(sordanny @ Mar 2 2015, 05:44 PM) Bro if this is the case I suggest u to avoid Maxis. Cuz if the internet is down your Astro IPTV will be down as well. So more nagging session for u  Unifi although a bit more expensive will save u the troubles actually its almost the same price... cos i need not 10mbps... 5mbps is sufficient for me... rm 148 and rm 149 makes difference of rm1....  |
