Disclaimer: I have been maintaining the TIME thread for more than two years. Suddenly some jackoff just copies my entire post without crediting me or even asking for permission. I would like to continue maintaining the thread and avoid any reseller bias. The other thread was opened by a TIME reseller.

P/S: I am not a reseller.

UPDATE
@Braxton has pm'ed me and apologized. He also agreed to keep this thread instead.

Damn, that's rough, thanks for reopening the new thread

Hi , may I know what's the total payment that i need to pay if i want to subscribe TIME at my apartment ? (Suriamas Apartment) . Last time they wanted to charge RM1K+.. i wonder if TIME has an apps to calculate forecast total payment upon subscription

We will continue to provide all sorts of support, knowledge sharing, latest updates etc on this Official Thread.

Thanks.

Hi Bro,

Yes this was previously required due to NSI (Non Standard Installation) building.

But this has been eliminated subject to T&Cs.

Thanks.

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.

Time Fibre Broadband should come to Setapak where all the TARC students are cramped up. I believe TM and Maxis will be wiped out from the map in a matter of time.

Welcome to V3.

- Happy Time Customer

thanks for the replies !

Welcome

Dear bro

Thanks for your interest in time fibre , the non standard installation fee previously incurred has been abolished since 2015 until further notice.

Thanks

Hmm. Interesting. Opened another thread without our consent. I'll look into this when I'm in office.

Folks, lesson learnt. First, open a new thread when the time is up and you will not know when the moderating team will come and close your thread. Then, start PM-ing and telling us your justification. Most of the time, it doesn't work with me.

Second, I wish to inform that everybody is allowed to open a thread here; whether you are a reseller or not a reseller, seriously I don't bother. What matters to me is the quality of discussion in the thread. I remembered I mentioned before in my PM to someone here if TS has started posting anything biased or to gain more sales, feel free to report and we will take action. Where is it now? Why suddenly opened a new thread?

Third, you can ask previous TS to edit and add in credit for you if you really want it. I also agree it is not good to copy other's work without proper consent.

Fourth, since the previous TS dropped me a PM to close his thread, I will then remove it and allow this thread to continue.

Fifth, my previous post is still valid in this thread and future thread(s). This is not a sales thread. Please report if there are posts like PM-ed you and similar sales related posts, we will take necessary action. This thread is for discussion and not sales thread.

Anything don't understand, feel free to PM me.

Okay, so again on TIME's definition of availability in condo developments: What is the current practice now, given that the 'non-standard installation fees' have been abolished? Will TIME be wiring fibre to individual units automatically or will it be done whenever someone subscribes to a package? This is if it is an older condo development without TIME originally by the way.

Hi Bro,

First of all, your condo has to be ready for TIME infra..which means both incoming & internal infra have to be constructed.


Then based on individual subscription, Installer will pull in fibre into the unit & activate the service.

Feel free to submit your condo to TIME via http://www.time.com.my/we-hear-you
Alternatively, please email me, I will help you on this.


Thanks.

Hi,

I still want to know if spending rm1000 and above on a high end router will give constant speed of 100mbps ?

I still see a lot of people here not utilizing the full speed on wifi or another case can't get full speed.

I have a total of 4 laptop and 4 phones connecting to the internet at home via wifi. Not interested in using any LAN cable.

Thanks

Happy user here... Credits to Yeap for the good service!!!




Attached thumbnail(s)

is astro iptv going to upgrade their Time packages to the new time speeds? We are paying a few % more as well.

Hi Bro..

No official announcement yet.. will keep you informed.

Cheers

Time Broadband should enlarge their coverage to kajang-bangi-nilai since its already cover some area in cyberjaya.

Please, im tired with currently ISP with lagg bad network connection. hmm

time broadband available in the place where unifi available?

Hi Bro,

Even the most high end router cannot guarantee "constant" wifi speed... fluctuation within the acceptable range does occur...

Go for the followings :

1) Asus RT-AC87U
2) Asus RT-AC68U
3) [Special Offer] Linksys EA6350
* Buy Linksys EA6350 from TIME & get it installed for you for FREE. Covers support as well.

Thanks.

Yes Bro...2 independent provider... in fact this is good to encourage competition.

But mostly on MDU, a lot lesser coverage on SDU.

Thanks.

Why are they so slow?
They need to hurry up. It's really not worth it otherwise.
Astro's taking people for a ride. They should have done a faster announcement.

attractive package but too bad i am contract to unfi recently

Just got my 100mbps TIME installation done today. Quite happy with the speed. However, unable to get IPv6.

Does TIME not provide IPv6?

Finally managed to tweaked RT-88U for optimal performance with Asus Merlin firmware.



Awesome!!!

bro cuba speedtest ke luar negara. EU/NA

that speed... im so jelous

wow so nice speed

If I were you, I will make the change immediately. Worth every single cent plus higher bandwidth.

They will pay for your penalty (Max : RM500), above that u need to pay.

Dear Bro


Dun worry Bro .


Thanks

This post has been edited by yeapch01: Apr 5 2016, 09:14 PM

Well not constant but 80% of the speed and above.

What brand is your router ?

You using wifi or Lan cable ?

Can take a speed test and post here ?

I have 100mbps but using wifi I'm getting 30mbps below

Dear Bro


Until to date , we do not receive any update of the changes of Astro IPTV Plan

Once available We will Update everybody here.


Thanks

So nothing for IPTV users to expect in the near future? or is there internal announcement/news but just not ready to announced to the public yet officially in the near future.

Hi, is there any possible way to get TIME covered my area (Bandar Seri Putra, Bangi)? Im really want to convert from Unifi but it is not covered at the momment

Dear Bro

Thanks for your interest in Time Fibre, can you be more specific , may i know are u refer to landed property or high rise building.

Thanks

does it covers landed property in Bandar Puteri Puchong? Please advise. Thanks.

landed property. Bandar Seri Putra, Bangi.

Dear Bro

Thanks for your interest in Time Fibre, can you be more specific , may i know are u refer to landed property or high rise building.

Thanks

Dear Bro

Sorry to inform you that Time coverage in landed property is still limited and not extended to your area yet.

We will update if there is any changes in the near future.

Basically i believe at the moment Time coverage in landed property is more than new housing project

Thanks

Dear Bro

So far we do not hear any update on the changes , whether on internally or official yet.


Anyway , Once we do receive any update , we will give everybody here some updates

Thanks

I'm ready to sign out if they aren't going to do any upgrade

I'm ready to sign out if they aren't going to do any upgrade

I have a question, what ISP does Astro IPTV use?
I went to https://www.astro.com.my/iptv/packagespricing.aspx and saw their packages and pricing but they never tell what ISP they will be providing. If it's Time broadband(because it's pink?), how does one subscribe if Time doesn't have coverage in their area?

Then you'll be using Maxis that's all.

But my area don't have Maxis FDP box.

Dear Bro

Maxis infact is using TM unifi Backone. May i Know where you stay

Thanks

Klang, Taman Melawis.

had connection error to rocket league game since yesterday, anyone experiences this as well?

Hi, if I wanto change from time router (dlink router) to Linksys EA6350. What should I do before the installer come?
What is the step?

Congratulations on new thread

you just need purchase the router from selfcare> account info>router upgrade..

if you still haven't install, you can call 1800181818 ask them change and pay the balance

When can Time Fibre be available for landed house!!! I want to subscribe!!!!!! hahaha.. Cannot tahan with the price and speed

I feel u bro. sabar jela

well it's take time. be patience

Yeah.

Keep calm and be patience.

International bandwidth test during peak hours

my utorrent download is so slow D: i'm on a 500 mbps connection but i'm only getting 500 kbps downloads. does anyone know if TIME is throttling torrents?.

This post has been edited by abusive123: Apr 5 2016, 09:38 PM

Still waiting for a speedtest from overseas servers... anyone? I seriously doubt that Time has the international link bandwidth to give a 100mbps subscriber 100mbps to, say, US. Let alone 500mbps subscribers...

Will Time consider coming into old condos?

The result is just right above your post

anyone?

Oops! Missed that.

So it looks like 200-300+ mbps to the US at introduction. Once more subscribers jump in, that goes down. So the most bang for buck right now is the 300mbps plan, in the future it will be the 100mbps plan.

I will save you the 2 seconds it takes to google it and tell you to try a different tcp port and make sure that you have encryption enabled on all incoming and outgoing connections. If that still doesn't work then either there's not enough seeders/seeders full on bandwidth or you're being throttled. If you add more torrents from different trackers and it's the same, then you are definitely throttled.

Very nice! What router are you using?

What's the highest you can get with a local speedtest server?

This post has been edited by soonwai: Apr 5 2016, 10:25 PM

Mind to share which torrent file you are trying to download? I can test for you with my connection if you want.

Even if it is just 100Mbps, it is still cheaper than UniFi

I am using Asus RT-AC3200.

Local speedtest server results

Wow! Great speed you have.

For sure. Even before the cable break Unifi has been pretty crappy. I will switch just to have my Tidal, Youtube and Netflix stream properly.

wow im quite impress with the speed
but, here Im still stuck with my 10Mb unifi.....

i never get passed 10Mbps on any US speedtest, what is going on

It's dependent on the specific speedtest server as each is hosted by their respective ISPs...can you try the exact servers that terence_nwb used? And are UK, SG, JPN ok?

Otherwise it would be something best reported to Time support. Might want to provide his speedtest results and ask them to explain why this is happening...that would be an interesting answer to know

wow that speed

how is everyone getting such good speedtest results. mine isnt even reaching 500 mbps on an ASUS AC68U

That's just amazing!

The AC68U according to smallnetbuilder is slightly faster than the AC3200. Are you running on a clean config? Any port forwards or QOS or filters on?

This post has been edited by soonwai: Apr 5 2016, 11:46 PM

Bro

Actually your result is equally great.

yours already good enuf lor

thanks man!

It's likely one these things:
1. Your router needs a reboot or firmware update.
1. Your local cabling is not optimal. (Try switching out cables with new ones)
1. The connection from your apartment to your building switch is not optimal.
2. The connection between your building switch and the telco exchange is not optimal.

*I have the AC68U too and there's a Jan 2016 firmware update. Can even give the March beta update a try too. Solid kit but I use it just for the access point.

I'm using maxis 10mb fibre and paying rm148 a month. Just saw this and if I pay rm149 I can get 100mb instead!!!

Wow... Maxis has a lot to catch up... The thing is, is this line stable? Any catch point consider it so cheap? For 100mb maxis charge rm3xx per month.

Dear bro

TIME is the only Fibre optic provider that provide 100 percent fibre optic solution with own infrastructure and do not share with TM like what some other provider do.

Anyway i believe you should go for a try to experince it yourself.

Thanks

Are you using it? Got try unify or maxis before? I'm still contractually bind to maxis. If I terminate it and pay for the penalty, I hope that it make it worth my while. So am asking experience sharing here

Dear bro


Yes . we are Time FTTO customer , was TM ex customer. Once use time , We never turn back.

Thanks

It looks like the catch is that the service coverage is limited to the specified condos only. If your condo is not covered, then bad luck

The other catch is that once subscribers start signing up, international traffic during peak hours will be congested and you will not be getting the full bandwidth as per your plan (unless the international links are upgraded). Keep in mind that this is true for other ISPs with new offerings - Unifi was awesome during launch 5 years ago, but now is just meh and plainly over-subscribed in some areas.

The awful truth with most ISPs is that about 6% of the subscribers will use up 90% of the available bandwidth, mostly the streamers, downloaders and torrenters who go at it 24/7.

The situation with TIME Fibre Broadband will be somewhat better for the exact reason you mentioned. Being only limited to certain mid- to high-end condos means the subscriber cross-section is smaller - way lower proportion of high-bandwidth consumers.

seminggu dua je tu guna 90% bila dah habis semua benda dia download mula la rasa bosan tak tahu nak buat apa dengan kelajuan tu

Hi, previously i was in 100mbps rm179 package. My router was Linksys x3500. Does it support for 300Mbps which is entitled for my package now?

Another question, for the 2000 minutes voice package, what will happened after 1 year contract? It will automatically renew or I need to subscribe again. Thx.
