I moved from Unifi VIP5 to Astro IPTV last year.
Advantage:
1. With 10M connection + 2 HD decoders with recording function + phone line + SuperPack 3, my bill comes to RM 338 per month. Previously higher because Unifi 10M already RM 179, Astro Beyond with 2 decoders plus recording already RM 290.
Disadvantage:
1. Cannot replace stock Technicolor router with 3rd party. Doing so will disable Astro even if u select Maxis Fiber profile.
2. Stock router with more than 20-30 connections will overload it and cause Multicast to fail. When it does, Astro also kaput.

What I did now was to transfer my spare Maxis Fiber line from shop office to my house. Meaning I now have 2 Maxis Fiber lines. I leave the first line alone just for Astro and use the 2nd line exclusively for internet with 3rd party router. In this case, a cheap TPLink 1043. Previously was using Asus RT66U but stupiak rubbish kept rebooting itself daily. Updated firmware and still the same. My guess is the Asus can't handle multiple traffic. Somehow the CPU will overload and cause the router to crash. The cheap TPLink so far so good. When too much traffic, it will disconnect and reconnect automatically. No biggie.
provide cooling to it(usb laptop fan), it works wonders, I've tried it on my dir615 and it works well until recently where both my router and laptop fan has aged and start to fail then only I've changed itAdvantage:
