same backbone, but routing different.

me from VIP 10 change to maxis fiber 10mbps.
aside from the rubbish router that maxis provide, connection & ping vise has been better.
especially utube.

maybe TM always fuckup the routing table.

last time i pakai unifi, sometimes.hav those problem that TS mentioned.
certain hours or certain side slower or higher ping.
i trace route for period of time, & notice that they change route often.

now on maxis, ok je. route remains same.
i hav no experience certain site being slow, but there is time where whole line is down for hours.

pendek kata, maxis engineer lazy, just keep things as they were.
unifi engineer too smart, hari2 route change here change there, create unnecessary problem.

maxis fiber here.

all good except for crappy router provided by maxis.
u can change to custom router though.

that's what i'm using right now.
maxis fiber wit astro iptv.
i would recommend asus router, make sure u know how to configure the router.

pro so far:
+ line relatively stable, responsive.
+ still can watch astro when raining
+ torrent full speed
+ ping good enough for on9 gaming
+ in my experience from unifi VIP10 last time, browsing & utube smoother, no annoying random slow connection at nite that countless unifi/streamyx users facing
+ a lot of other pros actually comes from astro beyond. such as astro on the go, u can on demand download, show recording even when u're away coz now u can install the astro apps on ur smartphone & control ur decoder bck at home as long as got internet.

cons:
- maxis fiber customer service is very much non-existence, they actually outsource it to 3rd party, mainly TM technician.
so when u do face problem that require technician to com, u hav to wait couple of days bcoz u're not priority customers.
- crappy router
- i face problem where they fail to email to me my monthly bill. miss out the payment date by 2-3 days only, straight kena potong & chage re-connection fees RM20 + GST.
i complain & luckily get to refund the re-connection fees.

i'm so glad i made the switch to maxis fiber
even though slightly more expensive, i dun hav to go through all these tm shit from time to time.

added bonus, cab watch astro during rain.
well, irrelevant to me but relevant to my old folks.
