btw let's say if I were to apply for Unifi Advance 30 then after the installation terminate my VIP5, what are the things that I should consider of during the installation of Unifi Advance 30(I see that you need to give back the BTU so need to call them to install the new BTU? and what not )?

EDIT: landed house btw

haha sure thanks btw, 50mbps yo

btw, how long have you waited? I mean for the queue

hmm that's fast. the dealer that I approached told me 2 weeks I'm now still getting more info on the whole transition process and whatnot, I don't want to be scold because of the upgrade later

normally those who call using the landline are not to mobile, but to landlines also due to work(need to contact HQ)

basically that is what I had in mind as well, apply new one, install the new one then terminate the old one.

btw, I've been seeing a lot of complains on speed being capped after downloading a certain amount of gb of data, does it still persist?

VIP package comes with FUP as well, basically on paper they must state that there is FUP to protect themselves, but whether they will or how often they will apply the cap depends on them.

hmm okay, probably see how others reply to get a better overview of it. What router are you using? Asus? TP-Link? or Mikrotik router

I've replaced my stock router with a mikrotik router. If my mikrotik's AP cannot push that much of bandwidth(possible because I like to transfer files upstairs to downstairs using wifi) I can just get a more powerful AP to do that job instead.

Anyway, 1k+ for a router, what setup do you have at home

when you're having connectivity issues, can you run on vpn and see whether it still has issues or not?

Nope, I run my own VPN server Been running it since the start of the poor routing after Unifi Advance launched. Good ones cost RM25 - RM40 per month depending on your period of subscription, but cheapo ones can be very cheap too

For surfing, latency matters the most, bandwidth matters but 2mbps like that is enough.
For downloading then the more the merrier

I'm using not too cheapo but yet not too good, about RM250/year considering the currency exchange rate.

Not a must because the VPN can be subjected to poor routing as well but if you feel that the internet is stable and latency is good after using a VPN then there is an issue with Unifi's routing.

And......... few weeks ago the I feel that the Internet was laggy, hop onto VPN and all is well(should have done a traceroute to see where is the issue but lazy lah )

buy homeplug

Most server providers don't allow torrent and why do you want to run torrent on a server

For VPN getting it from a VPN provider is better because you can always change servers if you feel that it is slow.

understand unfortunately, unless you have got yourself a very nice deal last year or before that, otherwise it would be quite hard to secure a nice server for that purpose because of ipv4 exhaustion.

oh okay......... that is like............ so high end. still, if your device cannot support 802.11ac also no use despite having the extra bandwidth helps, that is if you run some services in your internal network, which leads me to the question of what do you run at your home

there's really not much setting per se actually, let's say if the router is at downstairs, and it can cover downstairs but not upstairs then maybe you need to reposition it (maybe because wall too thick ). If you still cannot manage to get a nice spot for it while keeping your house's feng shui in proper, then you will need to put an AP upstairs, either direct lan from router to AP, or use homeplug instead

I heard that you get to keep the fibre cable also izzit?

I don't have NAS, and my network is split between upstairs and downstairs

the settings should be the same, except for the username password combination, so just change the username and pass?

if can run on at least homeplug lah

I don't think you get me put a set of homeplugs, one upstairs and one downstairs and put another AP upstairs connected to the homeplug for better wifi upstairs.
