Wow!  You use your own Wi-Fi router or Wi-Fi router provided by TIME?

Based on my experience with the Time Fibre Broadband deployment in my development, I'm afraid that there's no one answer to your question.

A lot of the time this is due to disagreements between TIME and the apartment/condo management, and sometimes even 3rd party contractors, about whose responsibility it is to perform and pay for the 'last mile' bit of the fibre cabling. Asking around other developments at the time when my condo blocks was being wired up, it was clear that when Time says their fibre broadband is available in a development, it just means that their fibre cable has been pulled off the street and into the comms room of the respective block or blocks (usually in the basement). It's usually a grey area as to whether the cabling has been pulled up through the risers and ducted all the way to right outside each unit of each floor in a block.

If that is not sorted out between all parties involved, and you are desperate to have their broadband service, the cost of pulling the cabling up from the basement up through the riser to your unit is passed on to you, the potential subscriber. That's probably where your RM1K+ quotation is coming from... And even that sounds low, so I assume that you're living on quite a low floor in your block.

Rather than TIME, I would suggest you take up the issue with your apartment or condo management, and clarify as to why they haven't paid for fibre to be pulled up through the risers to each unit. They'll probably say that the cost is too much and cannot be justified, especially if they think the potential uptake is going to be low.. which, in my opinion, seems fair. Prudent management don't like to waste funds.

If they can even be convinced that there will be a 30% uptake, they won't hesitate to do that 'last mile'. Heck, I think then even TIME will be willing to foot the entire cost all on their own. 

Isn't that overkill for an apartment? Your coverage is to how many sq ft? The free router could not make it to cover whole area?

Time did provided me with the Dlink Dir-850L router but I personally went and spent RM1000 on a new Dlink Dir-890L router. Hehe

My condo unit size is about 3500 sq ft

I feel the router time provided me cant cover the entire unit thus reducing the WiFi signal strength.

Anyway I'm very happy with my router and hope it wont give me any problems in the future.

Knowing that there will be a 24 months contract, can the plan to change during the period? eg, 300 to 100 or 100 to 300? any additional charges?

I am interested to sign up, knowing my condo do have the TIME available.

I can get 80-90 mbps on speedtest with handphone but only 50 on PC.
When i was configuring Google DNS, i notice my IPv6 Connectivity says no Internet access.  Is that the reason? How to fix it?

both through wifi and same distance from router

Hi,

What is the model of your PC/Laptop built-in Wireless NIC or / Adapter ?

Thanks.

I hope Time can install their network asap in Skypod condo here in Puchong.
It's a new condo and we have no choice as there is only one broadband provider. Price and speed is not competitive.

After doing some research, I think I know why my pc can't achieve the speed like my Samsung S5 handphone.  I bought my Dell PC XPS 8700 at the end of 2013.  By looking at the specs from internet, i gather my NIC card only supported up to 300 mbps (Wireless Protocol: 802.11b/g/n)

So i need a PCI Express Adapter that supported AC.  But looking at some product, i
cannot tell which one will fit my hardware's slot.  Do you have an idea?

Or am i totally wrong about the whole thing? 

Try changing to public DNS such as Google / OpenDNS.

Hi jjj2,
Since we are discussing DNS in this topic, i would like to shared the problem that i have encountered.
I have just got my router upgraded to Linksys EA6350. Basically the router was functioned as it is but the static DNS setting is not working meaning no matter what you set under Connectivity -> Local Network -> DHCP Server -> Static DNS 1, 2, 3. The device that connected to the router will always use the DNS provided by TIME (Ignoring the Static DNS that has been set in the Router). I'm able to set the static DNS in my old router E1000.

Anyone facing the same issue ?
I have write to TIME but haven't get any reply from them.
