My 2 cents here on speed change.

Don't expect a huge improvement in your interneting.

Say you change from 8 Mbps to 30 Mbps, about 4 times increase in speed. So instead of 3-4 seconds in refreshing a page while reading The Star, don't expect an instant page refresh (less than a second) when on 30 Mbps. From my experience, the page refresh now is 1-2 seconds.

Downloading is faster now but not 4 times faster than before, eg. torrent etc. Depends on the traffic load at the other end.

On Kodi, slightly better than before in speed, still see some waiting for it to response to my selection (changing the menu etc). Seeing less of the bufferings when watching HD movies. Good.

I am getting 30-33 Mbps on speed test. Then why still seeing the above slowness at that speed? Bottleneck can be at any point between one end of the line to the other end.

Do see a much faster uploading now, old 0.5 Mbps vs 10 Mbps now.

Seeing less and less in speed improvement with higher Mbps for me. Guess I will only change to a higher speed if I have more users at my end. Otherwise, 30 Mbps is sufficient for me.

Power internet users will say even 100 Mbps is not enough for them, aiming for 1 Gbps!

You are right....bandwidth and speed are 2 diff thing. Bandwidth is size and speed is latency...although both had its dependency...hence increasing just bandwidth might not translate to faster speed as a multiplier

Hi guys, I applied UniFi, but later on they tell me no service..
Then I went to apply for Streamyx, on the phone the guys ask a lot of thing and recorded the voice for record. I reply yes I wanted to install... Lastly, he told me I need to go TMPoint to sign a 2 year contract for Streamyx, processing time would be 1 week.

Later on the UniFi agent called me and told me have service.. Then of course I would install UniFi over Streamyx...

I knew that they are from different department, so will the voice recorded take effect even tho I not yet sign the Streamyx contract? Will I get RM500 penalty if I wish to cancel it for UniFi installation? Because I don't want Streamyx and UniFi in my house

lol...thats a tough one...to be safe...make sure you inform streamyx team (tmpoint and email - black and white) that you are going with your initial request in having unifi.

thanks for your replies.

For my current streamyx, i have no problem in mobile connection. just on my laptop. it was hella slow.

I know 5 mbps to 30 mbps is a massive difference. But does it worth, in performance? (reliability, system down etc)

end of the day, it depends on whats your requirement and what/how you are using it?

If you have more than 3-4 users, where they stream constantly, downloading, torrent, watching online, games, then its obviously no brainer to get the 30mb.

If you find current utilization fulfills, then I guess you could remain unless you have extra cash to burn...hahaha
