Just heard that TIME is offering a RM500 rebate as a switch incentive/goodwill gesture in addition to the free month for anyone signing up now, even for people who are out of contract with their existing ISP who don't to play a cancellation penalty.

All they need is proof that you have an existing broadband subscription - e.g. Bill, e-statement, etc.

Can any agent or dealer confirm this?

Hi,

Nope, this is not right.

The easy switch over plan only applies to application that is still tied with contract.

Thanks.

Well, that seems to contradict what Mala from TIME told me.

I noticed that the DIR-850L router provided has very basic functionality at the moment. Do not even see the settings to perform DHCP reservation and MAC address filtering.

I don't even see connected LAN devices like PCs, only connected wireless devices.

I know there is an older UI that has orange headers on hardware version A routers, resembling the ones in older Dlink routers, with all the functions.

Do I need to upgrade/downgrade the firmware in the current hardware version B TIME-provided router for a more comprehensive UI?

Any help is appreciated.

For any kind soul on time..would it be possible to try speedtest to this site..

Netflix speedtest

This is netflix speedtest and it's only download speedtest. Curious what speeds time owners get on a 100Mbps line.

On unifi 100Mbps I get average about 55-70Mbps
*
Getting 99-100Mbps.. with the odd 'flickering' of 110Mbps.

Hi Bro,

For IP reservation, you may click on the "Connected Clients" icon located on the Home page.
Then click on the pencil icon, and enable the IP Reservation.

For HW version B, Mac Filtering has been removed.

You can upgrade to the latest 2.07 firmware, but I doubt that will include back Mac Filtering seeing Mac spoofing is so popular nowadays.

Thanks.
*
As mentioned, I can't even see my connected via LAN PCs to enable IP Reservation.

Do you know why the UI/firmware for version B is so limited?

I think you need to qualify your statement as it's only affecting the WoW Oceanic servers. US servers are fine.

Maybe TIME is scrimping on the bandwidth to Australia now.

Glad I finish raiding by 8pm.

Yeah, it skyrocketed to 12k earlier, but seems to be down to around 320/800 Home/World now.

Maybe after 9pm is when everybody starts downloading their kangaroo/koala p0rn.

It was great whilst it lasted.

Looks like TIME CS will just need to be dealt with the same way as the ignorant ones at TM Unifi - i.e. inundate the TIME CS Facebook and other social media pages with traceroutes and other screenshots, preferably in that 'SO LONG SLOWPOKES!' thread. Make it really visible, and don't take the standard 'we are currently investigating the issue' nonsense, because we all know that takes months. At the very least, I'd expect them to acknowledge the issue publicly, instead of trying to coax everyone into taking it behind the scene in emails.

TL;DR:

1.  It's note always Time's fault.  Do your research.

2.  If you're still using the Linksys E1200 router that Time provided to its subscribers up until March 2016, get rid of it and buy yourself a new AC1200 or better router.
*
I use the TIME-provided DIR-850L, and I still get unacceptable levels of latency between 8-11pm, and ONLY between 8-11pm. At no time did they offer to come over and replace it with a replacement router to resolve the problem. I'm only 3 months into a 2-year contract, so guess what? It IS TIME's fault. I should not need to spend money to buy a router of my own to replace the under-contract router to get optimal performance, and especially since I'm usually the only one using the connection most of the time.

And since it only happens predictably at that time of the night rather than randomly at all times of the day, I highly doubt it's the router's problem.

So yeah, let's stop trying to help TIME mitigate their problem with all sorts of pseudo-excuses. They (and all other ISPs) are great at doing that on their own.

It's all gone wrong for TIME at the moment. I dont know whats happening behind the scenes but its a mess. A whole bunch of online games are affected at the moment. I play World of warcraft and its at a bad state right now ping wise.

I think what peeves me off the most is that they dont bother to respond to my emails or when i do call them, they're not the slightest bit helpful at all. The only person that has been helpful is Yeapch01 and he isnt even working directly for TIME. Its just a frustrating period right now to endure.

Yeah, it feels like I'm back to playing on my old Unifi 5Mbps line now... and I don't mean it as a compliment.

Around the mid- to high-200s. I left the mythic raid early because I couldn't justify the performance doing progression. Went to do Karazhan attunement on Sargeras instead.

Hi Guys... the issues have been reported, please test again tonight & perhaps monitor following few Nights as well...

The following symtoms hv been spotted (cabled connections) :

1) Download speed decreased tremendously, upload speed not affected.
2) Higher ping compared to normal.

Do feedback to CS@time.com.my immediately for easier troubleshooting.
*
I think there haven't been a shortage of people reporting the problem.

What we want now is for TIME to stop staying silent, acknowledging the problem and giving us an ETA as to when it will be fixed... or maybe they'll just take the popular 'head in the sand' approach and keep pretending everything is a-ok.

I know unifi collects it if you terminate before contract ends...but not sure if they do collect after contract ends....

Now for TIME, once the contract ends...you're saying they will not collect, correct?
*
The modem/BTU will always belong to the ISP, whether it's TM, TIME or Maxis. That will have to be returned when you choose to terminate.

The router and phone is yours to keep after the initial 2-year contract ends.

yeapch01 and jjj2 should help escalate this routing issue for you.

The point here is that it's not as though it was a bad routing to start with. It's that up until a few weeks ago, it was working fine. Then something happened and it's like they changed something and seemingly deliberately utilised a bad routing plan like that used by Unifi.

Some of us would just like whatever happened reverted back to how it used to be.

It's really not hard.

It is now hoped that it will stay this way.

And should it deteriorate again, I expect TIME and their representatives, self-appointed and otherwise, use this as a reference point, instead of once again asking for endless traceroutes, testing examples and proof. I will remind you that it took over a month to have it sorted out.

Unifi is offering 100Mbps for residential consumer now. I believe Time will step up their game. brows.gif

My prediction:
100Mbps to 300Mbps
300Mbps to 500Mbps
500Mbps to 1Gbps

Most consumer devices can't even handle 300Mbps on wireless and most people are using wireless nowadays. Power users will benefit the most on this. laugh.gif

The sad and honest truth is that, as a society, Malaysia is not ready for Gigabit internet.

As has been shown numerous times in this thread, Malaysians are way too quick to blame the ISP when performance is not what they expect. When in truth, it's usually down to bad wireless topography, inadequate hardware capability and general ignorance about how to manage expectations when it comes to connectivity to foreign servers.

I'm also in PJ, and had the same issue for about 2 hours earlier. It has since mostly recovered, but still not back at what it used to be. It's usually around 100ms latency to my work server In Melbourne. It's currently at around 150ms.
