Is it true that if I subscribed to UniFi 30/50mbps, I might not get those speeds if my area is "congested" with UniFi users?

If so, how can I know if my area is "congested" ?

im considering upgrading from vip20@rm249 to unifi advance 50 (50/20)@rm229

any comments before i proceed?

IMO, nope. TM at the very minimum will endeavor to deliver such speeds as subscribed over an ethernet connection.. Wireless speeds & reliability on the other hand does depend on network congestion & interference.. A better wireless router, setup nicely should overcome that.

See above. In addition, try to nego certain perks.. You might get lucky.

Workaround to get Facebook website to load



Like myself, some of you have experienced Facebook site takes forever to load or just time out and failed to load at all.

The official story is that the undersea cable got damaged (we heard this so many times).
I personally do not believe that because Maxis Fiber and Time Fiber and all Mobile Broadband users could load Facebook website with no issue.

Apparently some Unifi users also have no problems accessing Facebook site. And I found out that they were on IP Addresses starting with 175.xxx.xxx.xxx (external IP, not your internal IP).

So below is my workaround on how to get Facebook site to load.

Step 1:
Check what is your external IP. Some wifi router admin console have a status section where it will display your external IP address. If you don't know how to find it, another way is to go to http://www.network-tools.com/
and it will display your IP address which is your external IP address.

Step 2:
If your IP address is something else other than 175.xxx.xxx.xxx, then proceed to step 3.

Step 3:
There are 2 ways to go about obtaining a new IP address.

First method is to manually reboot your Wifi Router. This usually takes a longer time as you will need to wait for your Wifi router to boot up.

The 2nd method is to go into your Wifi Router's web admin console (usually it is http://192.168.0.1/) and look under the Status section for the WAN settings. You should be able to see what is your external IP and there is a Disconnect/Connect button there. Just click on Disconnect and wait for a while before clicking on the Connect button. Keep doing this until you see that your external IP address starts with 175.xxx.xxx.xxx

The reason why some ranges of IP can load faster than others are due to routing issues. Now with the damage of the undersea cable, the available capacity is less, certain IP ranges could have got a better routing than another.

Do NOT compare with Maxis & TIME as they are NOT sharing the international link with TM.

I thought all the telco uses the same undersea cable owned by TM?

TM doesn't even fully own the cable they used

For a few of you asking me how to connect your white color HyppTV Android Set Top Box Huawei EC6108V8 to your Wifi Router using Wifi, below is how I did it.



I got more tips located at this other thread other thread specifically on Huawei EC6108V8

Nope, not all ISP in Malaysia use the same cable and routing, I am using TIME fibre, no issue browsing FB or streaming Twitch TV at all.

Is too bad Time fibre has quota if not I'd switched to it

The quota is more than enough for me but my house is a landed property, no coverage.

You can sign 50mb package, it was unlimited package

only 100Mbps package with 100gb quota....all other package are unlimited...but coverage just for high rise building only...not available for landed property

100GB quota is only for 100Mbps plan, others no quota, use as many as you like.

what TIME lacks is coverage.If they have coverage for landed,im sure there will be more people subscribing to it.

I don't understand that, are you telling me that, VIP20 has more reliable speeds over adv 50?

Today I get 175.xxx.xxx.xxx,but now china website slow now,the other no problem at all...

Is anyone hypptv can't watch?
