Are there any of you who terminated unifi?
Do you have to return their devices during termination? (back to TM)

Thanx

Is it normal that ping a website takes 4ms (using network cable), but got around 10% of rate jump up to 40ms? It's a kinda new condo in Kuchai Lama.
Can the latency improve if I change a better router? If yes, what router do you recommend?
*
Latency dependent on how many hops (routers) it take for your IP packet to make a round trip.
(of course another factor that sums into the duration is the router's processing time)
Changing a router would not change the latency significantly, as processing time of most routers are merely negligible (but you can try)

My question, how good is Time compared to Unifi. Any user who switch from Unifi to Time can give your views?
Try to avoid slow internet speed and down time.
*
In term of speed for money, 5 stars for TIME. so clear winner there.
In term of reliability, (as im still a new TIME user), i didnt see a long downtime. In fact, i face downtime for few minute everyday in unifi especially at night. So my verdict for now for reliability both are same.

I have the same problem on both wireless and ethernet. Dowload speed cant be more than 30, sometimes below 10. Upload always more than 80.

if one direction you are getting high value, i doubt anything related to fiber quality.
i suspect its the modem. request for change. or change of port too.

Unit is about 1200sqft.
Router is about 20 feet away blocked 2 layer of walls.
Ive sketched a simple diagram to show you the layout.
Also i just did a speedtest standing directly in front of the modem with my phone. Results show that regardless of distance theres a problem with the speeds

Edit: Orange box signifies PC, Red Circle represents router
*
try to see powerline as an option. It works great when you have poor wifi signals.

Guys, need help, 100mbps Time user here, just installed in my apartment last month.

Using WiFi, I'm getting 40-60mbps download but constantly getting ~100mbps upload speed, from both my PC and phone. Full 100mbps down/up via LAN cable. Restarting the router few times will resolve the issue which I've got full 100mbps down/up via WiFi on both my PC & phone, but the same problem will always happened after one or two days. I'm the only user of this router.

Speedtest result:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Any suggestion? I fed up to always restart the router when this issue occurs.  sad.gif

More details:
- Time 100 Mbps package
- TP-Link Archer C1200 Router
- PC: TP-Link Archer T6E. Range from router: ~3 meters
- Phone: Samsung Note 3

This router is crappy bro. You can login and check the CPU/RAM of the router. Most of the time its highly loaded.
After restart perhaps the loading is reduced. So check this status in your router.

My suggestion, use other router if the problem persist. Or just keep restarting it once a day.

Hi,

I am using ZTE router since signed up for TIME. I put the router at living room and the wifi signal is okay in my bedroom (okay in the sense that I can watch Youtube on my phone) for the past years. However, recently it's getting weak - no signal at some spots in bedroom. The signal at living room still good.

I've tried to change channel but it doesn't help.

Is it because it is broken down? Does it mean I should change a new router? I saw from TIME self care page, there is a TP-Link router can be purchased from there. It is good?

Please advice.

Thank you.

Not sure about your ZTE router, but i can advice dont buy TPLINK AC1200 model. other models maybe you can consider.

Any router to recommend? Budget around RM250 (enough?)

i guess asus routers are fine.
if you want ac routers they are in the range of 350-400.
cheaper ones are one level below to it. still does decent job.

Was previously a 500mb user. Downgraded to 300mb recently - already plenty for me. Free upgrade would be sweet but no no to paying more  tongue.gif

when you downgrade...you got to pay some penalty or something? (or contract starts from zero?)

ah thanks bros... i dialed via pppoe via laptop, and its successful.. indeed direct laptop i get around 250mb.. so its my router giving the bottleneck... im using ASUS RT-AC1200G router.. don't think the router is that weak, cant support such high throughput? or are there any specific configuration i need to change?

this is a good router.
are you getting that speed via wifi or even when you test it via cable?

Hi may I ask how to determine if the network cable is Cat5 or Cat6? Coz I just check with my interior designer  they said they use Cat5. Doesn’t that actually affects my speed?
*
This might help to answer you questions

Also for me, Cat5e is sufficient for household usage. Check what is given, cat 5 or cat 5e. Not necessarily need cat6

Yup, called my condo maintenance manager and confirmed that TM is taking some action to upgrade the existing infra, if Time didn't do anything i might switch back to Unifi.

and pay penalty plus suffer unreliable service of unifi?

You say unifi is unreliable but at my place time is super unreliable and unifi is great. 4 or 5 outages in 6 months of the time I am using time. I dunno about you but that is not acceptable to me.

which router are you using?

Does the router that I am using matter if it is service outage? I am not a noob and know if the outage is caused by my router or it’s a service outage at time’s end.
*
my experience with Time has been good. service outage since i installed can be counted with one hand (which is going to be a year of service in few more months)

the reluctant and ignorance of TM to pull fiber to home and increase the snail speed is the main reason for me to port out.

people have their choices of staying or leaving their service providers according to their needs.
if you think the other side is greener, you can always jump.
