I think the problem is accessing sites outside of Malaysia. I noticed accessing Facebook takes forever to load while accessing locally hosted websites were fast.

As of now, accessing Facebook is still slow compared to last night.

Anybody knows what is going on today?

Oh I see. Thanks.

Hmm... interesting.

Surfing other websites OK.
My Torrent download speed still fast...only loading Facebook is slow like shit!

By using VPN as a temporary workaround, I could get Facebook site to load up at a reasonable speed.

Hi thanks for the tip. It works! After rebooting my router from a 210.x IP which was giving me slow loading times with Facebook, I have managed to reboot to a 175.x IP and suddenly my Facebook is now loading instantly.

Guys try the method below.

If you don't know what is your external IP address, you may find it by going to this website http://www.network-tools.com

Keep rebooting or connect and reconnect via the router admin console until you get an IP starting with 175.xxx.xxx.xxx

When I came home, I turned on my router and it gave me the 210.xxx IP and as expected, Facebook failed to load.

So via my router's admin console, I disconnect and reconnect until I see my external IP changed to 175.xxx

And lo and behold, Facebook loaded up like how it was normally for me.

B4 I discovered the workaround about rebooting the router to get the 175.xxx IP address, I was using VPN and it did improved somewhat for me.

.

Only accessing FB is slow like shit but other sites & torrenting is normal for me. And when I get IP address starting with 175.x, accessing FB becomes normal again.

If u r using a non-default router, u may see under the admin web console that there is a Status section.

In status section, some router admin console has a Disconnect and Reconnect button.

Click on that. No need to reboot router and it is faster.

I have the same Android HyppTV STB. It has Wifi lah. I am using Wifi to stream movies while using the Lan port for HyppTV channels.

Lan Port 4 on the default Unifi WiFi Router (Residential Gateway) is a VLan dedicated only for HyppTV IPTV channels.
When you try to plug in to other Lan Ports other than Lan Port 4, the HyppTV cannot work.
But when you plug back to Lan Port 4, HyppTV works but Internet cannot be accessed via the HyppTV Set Top Box (STB).

But thanks to my brother who was playing around with the settings in the HyppTV Set Top Box, we discovered that you can enable Wifi on it and use Wifi connection to surf the Internet from the HyppTV Set Top Box while still be able to watch HyppTV IPTV channels via the dedicated IPTV Lan Port 4.



PM me if u wanna know how to turn on Wifi on this HyppTV STB Box

That's why I don't believe the news article about cable damaged.

Just reboot or reconnect until u get an IP address starting with 175.xxx

My Unifi BTU (the fiber optic box) is upstairs.

My TV and HyppTV Set Top Box and Wifi Router is downstairs.

How I solved my problem is simple. I use Home Plugs.

Below is my setup:

BTU => Home plug A => Home plug B => Wifi Router

Lan Port 4 on the default Unifi WiFi Router (Residential Gateway) is a VLan dedicated only for HyppTV IPTV channels.
When you try to plug in to other Lan Ports other than Lan Port 4, the HyppTV cannot work.
But when you plug back to Lan Port 4, HyppTV works but Internet cannot be accessed via the HyppTV Set Top Box (STB).

I don't buy the cable thingy bullshit.

How come only Facebook website so slow and other US sites are ok or why my torrenting and youtube still ok.

The workaround is reboot router until u get an IP address (external IP) starting with 175.xxx

Not only me, but many ppl who tried this have reported that this workaround works. So I doubt it has to do with any physical damage to the cable... more like some network settings of some sort based on different IP segments.

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

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

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
