I remember I read somewhere that those who got the RM169 offer is only for 2 years, thereafter revert to RM199. Unlike RM179 which is perpetual.

Can someone confirm?

TM better do something to upgrade the infrastructure at buildings using VDSL2 (such as VDSL2 vectoring) or better still install fibre. Else, VDSL2 users will end up with only 30Mbps for some time to come.

I wonder if new users still go for Maxis Fiber now since their debacle with their mobile service plan recently...

If I am not wrong, if warranty for router, IPTV STB, DECT phone over, you can get it replaced for free but with 2 years contract renewed.

Can someone confirm this?? Correct me if I am wrong.

By the way, I guess it's better to just buy your own router.

I have a one year warranty that expires in September due to I upgraded to Adv 30.

Now I just hope my IPTV STB spoils soon so I can get a new one replaced! Still using the very first model from Huawei!

The current Android STB not good??

now can call 03-2241 1290? That's even better!

I remember calling 1300888123 few months ago when my UniFI down for 2 weeks and end up paying more than RM20 for all the calls!!

I do remember 1300888123 is in lieu of 100 if calling from mobile.

Ya, depends on which package one sign up to for their mobile plan.

Yup, IPv4 is basically run out in Asia Pacific.

And you should enable IPv6 on your network if available (in the case of TM, yes)

However, unless you have issues accessing IPv6 enabled networks such as Facebook & Google, you should just use it. I don't have any issues with it unlike some forumers have that.

In that case, then you may want to disable it as suggested.

Realized from my router log that my connection was disconnected for 20 minutes from 2.50am to 3.10am.

And after the reconnection, I noticed changes in the IPv6 addresses assigned.

Previously, both the WAN IP and LAN subnet are assigned addresses in 2001:e68:5416::/48 block.

However, now I can see my WAN IP is assigned address in the 2001:e68:5084::/48 block while my LAN subnet in the 2001:e68:5444::/48 block.

Anyone notices the similar scenario above?

fruitie I remember some time ago you shared here that you no longer get 30Mbps or more, but only around 28Mbps. Is it still the same for you now?

Last night it seems TM did some maintenance and since then I have been getting IPv6 addresses from a different block 2001:e68:5444::/48 instead of 2001:e68:5416::/48, and even the IPv4 addresses come from blocks that I never get before.

And now, no matter how many times I reconnect, all my speed test also around 28Mbps, just like what you had last time.

I once asked if they can replace for me when they were replacing my modem (BTU) earlier this year. They said, provided rosak, they cannot just simply replace else they will be questioned for replacing a working unit!

I wonder if it works if you plugged it in for HyppTV service.

Last I heard, the MAC address is tied up to your account and if you use a different unit, it won't work.

More appropriate term is Ethernet cable (or Unshielded Twisted Pair [UTP] cable). Your Wi-Fi is actually a type of LAN too, we call it Wireless LAN or WLAN.

And I agree with you. Staying in a highrise condo, I gave up on getting optimum speeds on WLAN (in particular 2.4GHz). 5GHz works quite well provided I am close to the wireless router/AP but when moving further away or in another room, of course understanding how 5GHz works, the signal weakens.

I now only use Ethernet cable to connect my laptops & devices with Ethernet ports whenever possible, such as in my living hall. However, at other rooms, I use HomePlug to bridge them.

And Wi-Fi is only used to connect devices such as smartphones or devices that do not have Ethernet ports.

Good choice! In fact, even if I am seated right next to the wireless router, I will still connect an Ethernet cable to it to my laptop!

One useful info about wireless. Sometimes, I do drop by cafes and enjoy a cup of latte and connecting my laptop to the Wi-Fi hotspot to do some work. When the cafe is not crowded, the connection is stable & fast (I am talking about cafe with UniFi connection here).

But at times when the cafe is crowded with at least 10 or more people inside, the connection became unstable!

This explains another weakness of Wi-Fi. You may be in an area that is not crowded with neighboring APs such as in a highrise condo. But having 10 or more people connecting to an AP is enough to cause issues to you.

Are you on wireless when you do the speedtest?

Try using cable and see. This will iron out if it is really TM's problem, or if it is the wireless interference issue at your side.

connect using cable or wifi??

I remember being told that another option is to have contract renewed for another 2 years and have your equipment replaced for free, if you no longer have warranty.

Wonder if anyone can confirm this?? I have been hoping that my IPTV STB breaks down so that I can get a new one while my warranty expires in 1 month...

does the DSL link blinks when disconnection occurs??

Could be router problem, but could also be something wrong with TM side.

But definitely not your modem.

Another thing, during the time you are disconnected, is your HyppTV working?
