Does my existing phone number need to change if I subscribe to the Voice?

Eh I thought need to add RM10 for the service? For the unlimited 2,000mins call right?

Wanna check if the voice call RM10 per month, 2000 mins per month?

Nice. I wanna switch to Time Broadband, are there any rebates?

Time Broadband coming for installation this week. Thanks for yeapch01 quick efficiency!
Hopefully everything goes smoothly. My only concern is that my family would stop the installation cause they dont like seeing cables everywhere.

Btw, does the default router has powerful signal? Previously the unifi router couldn't reach the whole unit, we changed the router even to Asus and couldn't even reach. Apparently some of the walls are blocking and we had to do extra network cabling with the house.

Yes I am planning to, will have to wait after installation and see how to setup on this.
Even then I think might need extender as well. Cause even Asus (actually i don't remember it's asus or TP Link but it's a huge black one with three antennas) couldn't send the signal across the wall.

Looks like I might need an extender in the middle room. Is the TP Link (this one) good enough? Or should I consider something more?

The technicians for installation are experienced enough to deal with this right?
I won't be around for the installation, so they will have to deal with my father. lol.


**Corection: I am actually changing two units.

One unit is able to cover the whole house even with the default unifi router, and depending on the situation i might or might not need an extender with the Time Broadband.

2nd Unit is the problematic one due to the structure or home layout probably, previously even with a router with three antennas couldnt cover the house, had to do network cabling and ended up all the rooms have their own network cables.

Here's the layout [Layout]
My family doesn't want to see cabling around so the only place (if the installation goes on), it would be near the entrance (bottom left corner based on the image).

So if it's stuck there, practically all the other places will have very weak signals. So a repeater would be needed in the middle?

Any recommended brands or particular models?

No, dont have. In fact I never see any cables lying anywhere.
There no cables anywhere, everything is hidden inside the wall, so can't be sure.

Looks good, yeah I am thinking to get a repeater in Bedroom 3 most likely.
The default TIME setup will emit two frequencies right?

I just checked my laptop, it's 802.11ac, should be able to detect 5ghz i hope.

Woah the Asus router you recommended cost almost RM800.

Are the two tp links that you recommended good enough? 2.4ghz and 5ghz too right?
Any other models that you could possibly think of?

Thank you, most likely will get this one. Tp Link RE450.
The default unifi router could cover my whole house at that position that you placed. So hopefully I would be able to enjoy similar coverage and at a decent speed. Master bedroom will definitely have a problem but I guess for my parents as long it's usable and able to stream some videos, it's good for them.

Does this work? Though it didn't write.

TP Link AC900

Yay, i noticed it after that. haha. The installation just done. I am still at work so I am not sure but my family told me that repeater is not needed. They received full speed (using S7 Edge to test, as far as I know Samsung phones is compatible to receive 5ghz) all the way to the other side. Then again, my family is using smartphone to test the speed, will have to go back and check later.

Tested Time Broadband, very good speed. Did a few internet speed test and seems to be able to get full speed all the time. Browsing has no issues, very speedy and am very satisfied with it. But downloading seems a little slow, only 10mbps? Is this an issue or just a norm? What is disappointing is my MMORPG, the ping is even worse now than before when I thought Time Broadband has better routing to EU servers than Unifi, or have I done something wrong? Sifus please advise if can!

*Am using Google DNS

Yes, and playing Guild Wars 2

Yes I know about seeders. The one that I'm downloading from has 2k seeders.

Anybody has problem with torrent speed? Can teach on how to optimize the setting or etc to reach the best speed? As well as the ping issues? My friend told me he is able to reach 30mbps at least from downloading and I'm only at 10mbps using the same torrent.

Any advise? Thanks.
