you download 3 times faster. definitely worth it :}

content these days is between 300mb, 500mb, 1.2gb, 4-6gb, 8-12gb..... some even go as high as 24gb......

another example.... these days you buy digital games and you have to download on launch date or close to. so thats a big size file so you want to download as fast as you can.

with the rumors floating around about sept, i'm waiting for a better deal on the 30/50 ;x

there's a catch. you may think o switch and still pay same sure. the thing is you will be locked to that for 2 years ..... and like someone else mentioned, if later in september there is a basic 30/50 which has a cheaper price (because it none of that aneka and other additional channels nobody wants) then you are screwed, cause you cannot change to that as you'd be hit by a penalty :/ but this is assuming there is a cheaper package in september ..... i personally rather wait and see


she's obviously a twit who doesn't know technical issues even if it smacked her in the face. should ask her next time to pass the phone to her supervisor. or maybe..... even worse, it's the managements policy to deny any poor performance then better report to MCMC to pressure them (wonder if anyone done that yet)

this one time my internet didn't work. so i did all the normal troubleshooting on my own end. reboot router, update router firmware. re-do settings. restart pc...... pretty much all you can think of.

so i reported it as a tmnut issue, but then they ask reboot modem which i told i already done. still won't believe..... only much much later, they called back and admitted it was an issue on their end all along despite denying it >_>:

sigh.... they should never say not their side without checking first... this problem with tmnut support :/ talk cock over phone as if we don't know anything about basic IT technical troubleshooting.

try test direct ethernet first see the speed.... if performance subpar yeah then complain

if no issue on speed, then the wifi is a separate matter more likely to do with poor router performance

well i sorta mean, it's a bit difficult trying to diagnose your speed via wifi.

i notice this while babysitting for my brother so i was on my laptop in another room in the house. the internet was so bad .... only got better when i moved the laptop a bit to get a better signal, then suddenly the internet was working fine again.

so poor wifi will indeed affect your internet speed so i don't think you can really test poor internet unless done via ethernet first, so you can rule it's not a wifi issue your having. that was what i was implying :}

basically it's cost cutting, by providing a cheap router just so we can get the internet to work. as a user we have no choice but to buy a new router preferably 1gbit ports (i'd suggest 4-5 of them :} ) and also preferably wireless ac if possible.


Asus RT-N18U


from the prices i saw, you can get this router for rm 339, thats quite good for an ac router that actually performs :}
http://www.lelong.com.my/kx/asus+rt+n18u.htm


this router is wireless n though but is using turboqam to boost wireless n signal by up to 30% more. it also can do up to 650 mbps internet connections, not that we have that speed anytime soon

wireless ac routers i think are 600+ upward yep a AC56U is 624

from what i heard ac works better through walls than wireless n. i never used it myself cause most of my equipment is still n. to go ac your clients also need wireless ac capability, which my outdated hardware don't :{

Anyways i'm waiting for wireless ax

http://www.extremetech.com/computing/18468...-to-your-laptop


wireless n will get me by just fine till then :}

here is a chart for throughput on 5ghz wireless
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/chart...16-5-ghz-updn-c

and this is for 2.4 wireless
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/chart...-2_4-ghz-updn-c



and finally for download speed wireless 2.4
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/chart...11-2_4-ghz-dn-c



for a specific router review the ac56u
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wi...router-reviewed




so based on these benchmarks, the 2.4ghz is more than capable for 50mbps+ over wireless.

however for 100mbps, you'll need to use 5ghz mode.




Looking at the most highest end router
NETGEAR R7000 Nighthawk AC1900
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wi...a-asus-rt-ac68u



2.4 can get up to 90mbps. though if you want to maximize on 100mbps, then you'll need to use 5ghz mode.



and lastly the default tmnut dir615 router
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wi...s-reviews/30387
http://www.trustedreviews.com/D-Link-DIR-6...e-router-page-2





this seems to be roughly inline with the wireless performance people are reporting on the default router.... so if you do go for 30 or 50mbps broadband, and want to get full internet speed over wireless then get a proper router

30 Mbps = 3.75 megabytes/s

if your 80% below this expected mb/s lodge a report to both mcmc and to tmnut

not sure if that rule applies to international mb/s which is much more important.....

i used poe before so i have an idea what its like. this unit tend to get hot so bit worried using it for long durations :/ maybe newer models have solved this issue.

that said, i don't think POE is going to be needed much longer because....









http://www.extremetech.com/computing/18468...-to-your-laptop


wireless ac now is pretty decent. but with ax i doubt even power users will have much to complain about. can go 100% wireless unless your running some server farm where you need faster wired speeds

yes distance and walls will affect the speed. but i think ac and ax are pretty decent for home use.
















http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wi...rk?limitstart=0


so to some for home use anyway, wifi is sufficient :} assuming is wireless ac with beam forming preferably.


poe vs wireless
http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/wi-...s-killed-wired/


yes apparently poe still has better reliable speeds, but you still need to be wired close to a power socket with the poe. and from my old experience the poe tends to overheat... so i don't like using it 24/7 :/

but seeing as wireless ac and ax is getting better, i feel the wireless option for home use will be the better deal due to wireless :} *hate wires

my pc uses ethernet though cause it's right next to the router, so why not

report back whether u get 80%+ (especially to us and europe servers using speedtest or torrent sources) interested to know

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Aug 8 2015, 06:01 PM

local via ethernet i doubt there is problem. but from the wifi tests i earlier in a post pointed out, it comes short of the 30 mbps.... so is not recommended for wifi internet (cause you effectively capping your ownself).

wonder whether it will be good enough for 50mbps over home wifi

under what rock were you living under

ftth which is what unifi is using (fiber to the home). fiber optical broadband basically.





latency wise is way faster. a real world example...

adsl wow back in the day 600-800ms
ftth today 200-300ms

may still seem slow, but considering this example is latencies from malaysia to the US, this is as good as it gets.

you only get fast 5-20ms locally in malaysia or to singapore range with ftth.

i don't recommend playing fps games with latencies over 100ms. but games like starcraft rts, dota moba, warcraft mmorpg, diablo 3 hack and slash is all definitely playable overseas with ftth.


with ftth technology, upload can be equally as fast as your download speed. however for the unifi 30 and 50mbps packages, they decided to lower upload speed. this isn't a technology limitation, but rather a policy decision

whereas adsl is a technology limitation why it's upload speed sucks hard


there is just zero reason to still be using adsl in this day and age.... heck just get the 5mbps ftth if you want to be cheap, still better

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Aug 11 2015, 03:46 PM

only reason i said that cause you didn't know fiber latency is better than adsl ... so...





this my 10mbps unifi to US server on the west coast.

for local the latency i got was 4ms.

hope that answer your questions


a better question would be, for the 30 and 50mbps packages, will they really reach that higher (especially for dl) to us servers. For 10mbps it's a solid yes. for 30 and 50 i don't know personally so other people with it have to test it out.

*update

nm just spotted this

@calvinlaw510 run speed test to US server

wow thats terrible. hopefully they get around to your area soon

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Aug 11 2015, 11:01 PM

my brother apply but the people came weeks later..... this is why they are tmnuts poor customer service.

wow very nice speeds to us

to download faster. even for .....linux distro... *COUGH .... it takes me at least 20minutes to maybe 1-2 hours. so if i'm downloading 3 or 5times more faster compared to my current 10mbps, is better isn't it ?

And it's not just that. if your place has multiple users, the net bandwidth can quickly become saturated. so more mbps to be shared between users is better.

also for some services like 4k netflix streaming, 25mbps is the recommended speed. heck even some 1080p videos @ 60fps on youtube i'm having issues streaming without too much time buffering


if all you ever just do is browse websites and just facebook, then even 5mbps would be more than enough (except for http direct download big files which benefit more from faster mbps speeds).


if that is not enough to convince, 10mbps will be the same price as a 30mbps package essentially. so why not just get 30mbps for 3 times faster download for the same price ? this is a no brainer.

But that said the 30 and 50mbps have upload reduction 30 is 5mbps upload, and the 50mbps is 10mbps upload. this only matters for people who stream on twitch, or private torrent users trying to rake in ratio for upload. or if your working from home and is important to be able to upload documents or files to a remote location. but most normal users this reduction in upload speed is pretty much irrelevant.


as for latencies why would it get worse. this and the old packages both use fiber the same technology. latencies should be the same

in my experience latencies and dl/ul to europe is much worse compared to the US.

90gb quota ? wtf

can anyone else confirm if this is true ?

best way to test router if can handle.

run speedtest and torrent download test using router (wired) + (wireless) and later without router (meaning btu direct to pc). the pc to btu direct should be the actual speed. if thats not 80-90% of what your suppose to get then complain to tmnut. if is okay, but speed to router is bad, then need to change router
