one or two months ago i was having a lot of problems with ridiculously slow WiFi speed with TIME and they sent their technician to my house. It seems like they fixed the issue but look at my wifi speedtest now.
It has been really slow for the whole day and I can't game or watch videos properly. For the money that I've paid for 300mbps, I'm getting 0.25mbps, good job TIME, I will never use your service in the future and i would never recommend TIME to anyone.

A lot of factors can affect wifi speed.If the issue is not with TIME, you change to Unifi or Maxis, you will face the same issue.

I'm using Dlink DIR-850L for my TIME 100Mbps now. Wifi slow and coverage is not so good. Will TIME charge me or extend my contract if i request them to change a new router?
*
hmm.. you didn't know? TIME is giving FREE router upgrade to customers still using old router. I got Dlink DIR-850L from initial installation, but now they are giving TPLINK AC1200 for free. Just received the email notification yesterday. They will bring the new router next week.

Reporting in, my package is 100mbps and i’m getting 300mbps on 5Ghz wifi.
How to get 500?
*
To be able to support 500mbps over wifi, I think your phone and router must be at least ac1750 capable.

Hmmm...using iphone 7 and TP-Link Archer c1200 though. need to change to c3150 maybe?
*
If your phone can support then go ahead.
I have AC1750 router, but non of the android/laptop devices in my house is better than ac1200.
I have ac1750 adapter for my desktop pc, but can't find better adapter at the moment.

Basically you are paying extra 6% for partial amount from previous bill beginning 1 Sept and extra 6% for entire current bill.

True or not?
I am at present on streamyx 8mbps. Cost rm 139 . No upgrade no discount.Fed up.
Thinking seriously of migrating to time .BUT still on contract with streamyx.
A time reseller told me that Time would help me in settling the RM 500 penalty for breaking the 2year contract.
True or Not
*
It was true some time ago, now I'm not sure.
But if im in your position, I will switch to TIME immediately even if I have to pay the penalty.

If u get free router by TIME --> AC1200, no point because you are not able to achieve full speed 500Mbps! Max only 300Mbps!
*
Since it's free, and i don't have a second AC router, I might use it as an wifi extender.

Who knows, 500mbps price might become rm159/169 for new customers or those who wanted to downgrade to this plan.

For anyone out there who has just upgraded and dont want to lay LAN cable the ONLY wireless card u should get is the tplink T8E or the T9E. Those are the only 2 cards that work with speeds as claimed. Dont even bother with usb card no matter what they say it is just junk.

My T8E is around 8 meters seperated with 4 walls and i can max out my 500mbps wif 5ghz wifi. Same as LAN cable.

I have changed at least 6 usb AC adapters they are all junk. Learn from my mistake. They are cheap for a reason.
*
Have you tried TPLINK Archer T9UH? I'm thinking to get one.

tempting price from the taobao collection

ac86u can achieve 1gbps wifi?

The question is do you have any receiver that matches the speed of the router. Most receiver devices on the market are 1, 2 or 3x3 mimo only. Unless you going to buy tplink ac3200 pcie receiver from china.

Then you should check the max wifi speed of your phone before buying new router. Most phone is 1x or 2x mimo (ac1200) only in general. Not sure if there is any 3x or 4x mimo phone out there.

Trust me. Feel the force. It exist.

If not, i run around the i internet nekkid. But maybe TIME will 1up competitors by offering 200Mbps as their lowest package.

My prediction: biggrin.gif
100mbps - RM109
500mbps - RM159
1000mbps - RM199
