without GST. of course u should upgrade. streamyx is really.......

if look at the slides, it stated that customers will receive sms/email by dec 2016 regarding to the upgrade.
then it is referring to the recent SMS/email that are sent by TM to customers on the surprises. It did not stated clearly it is speed upgrade, but very obvious surprise is referring to the upgrade.

i think it is safer to 'upgrade' the speed at TM point. Last time i did my streamyx speed upgrade from 1Mbps to 4Mbps, it was completed within hour.

new installation they are giving Alcatel-Lucent I240G instead.

ic. alcatel lucent is better or worse than huawei? to be frank, i prefer huawei BTU.

besides, for BTU, can we actually login to check anything about the unit? like spec etc?

ic. maybe due to compatibility of the equipment.

both alcatel lucent BTU and huawei BTU are silver squarish one rite with the TM logo?

If u want to grab this deal, no way u can apply via online. Their online application sucks big time because it takes really so long, u need to continuously call them to follow up to speed up the process.

If u want to grab this deal before end of the year. Easiest way and fastest is to apply at TM point

It is good to have a minimum bandwidth of more than 10Mbps in long run. 4k content are getting more and more. To stream more smoothly, it is good to have decent bandwidth in long run to cater for this needs.

Long weekend holiday it will delay further.

Forget about those wifi extender or repeater, just get the home plug.

My house is 3 phases, I am using home plug, no issues at all.

my ping test does not show difference while connecting directly to wifi router and connecting via home plug wifi.

TP-link one has decent price with good performance.

Single band 2.4Ghz about rm180++ to rm255 for 300Mbps speed
Dual band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz is close to rm300 for 300Mbps speed also.

802.11ac one can be price around min rm400 and above.

no one mth free. but at least u have the chance to ger free upgrade next year since the faq had stated activation must be done before 31 dec 2016 to qualify.

I had just submitted the upgrade application to 50Mbps at UTC tm point. The lady told me the upgrade will normally be done within 24 hours else 3 working days if there is technical issue. I told her I want to be sure the upgrade must be completed by 31 dec 2016. She said she will confirm with me the upgrade by tmr evening whether the upgrade can be done. If not, she will not proceed further with my upgrade. Really cannot resist the rm53 (inc GST) for the 2x more download speed and 2.5x upload speed. Kind of no brainier given that it is just rm53 extra plus already paid so much for the 30Mbps.

The lady has given me her the tmpoint no so I can check with her on the status of upgrade easily plus UTC is operating 10am to 10pm and her shift is at night.

She said for terrace has no problem with the 100Mbps speed. The one that has problem is apartment, condo which it is the same as what I thought too before this due to the limitation of the medium.

She just mentioned that normally before upgrading to 100Mbps, it may have a downtime of 3 days in between.

Not sure about the one u went. But the one I went is definitely a tm point. Even the stamp of the address she gave clearly stated UTC TM point. And I had all sort of requests here all the time like normal TM point. It is confirmed not a normal dealer.

no.

Maybe indeed the one u went previously UTC tm point now it is not.

But certainly not the case that all utc has no TM point.

cool. that's fast. think mine will be upgraded tmr as planned too.

which plan are u in previously before the upgrade? u upgraded to 50Mbps to take advantage of the free upgrade to 100Mbps also rite? actually I felt that the rm53 (inc. GST) to double the speed for both upload and download is no brainer. haha just that I am not sure if it will be over-killed for me.

seriously how u did the upgrade? via 100 or online?

u should just go any TM point (not dealer one) to do the upgrade, technically if their system is up and running. the upgrade should be able to do within hour. the lady who attended to me cannot do immediately because the tm system is not stable. but if the system is up and running, I am sure that my unifi will be upgraded to 50Mbps no problem.

tp-link. my house is double story, one of my homeplug is downstair one is upstair, my house is 3 phases, i am not sure the plug is on same phase or not, which it just works like charm no matter which powerpoint in my house i plug it just work.

single band to dual band, i never try that, to be frank, the home plug is meant to extend ur wifi, u should change ur wifi router to a better one before u think about buying a home plug that is better than ur wifi router. if u wifi router is single band, just stick to single, if u happened to upgrade to ac wifi router, then by dual band with even ac wifi function of homeplug.

setup of home plug is rather brainless and just a few button clicks. there is no such thing as stabling the connection as u dun have much control over in terms of configuration like ur wifi router. it is making of the house's existing electricity wiring for transmitting data, so technically it works like wired which it should be stable unless ur house electricity circuit is not stable in the first place that it may cause problem.

no wonder, going thru 100 or online is a super hassle process. my two unifi installation that is completed this month alone, it took me tons of hours of 'scolding' before it get the job done.

if time permit, by all means go via these channels (to be frank, they are official channels which it is safer).

however, given the promo has time limit, technically 3 more working days to go. ur upgrade is definitely at super high risk.

dun trust them about the 7 working days thing. my online application they also said after submitted 7 working days they will call to confirm the package, but they NEVER. if not because i had been calling them daily to yawl at them, they will not even move.

like what i told the lady at TM point, if it is not going to be done for the upgrade by tmr, i will not proceed further, i love to pay extra rm53 for the double speed in 2017 but i also do not want to risk for any time delay then in the end i am paying the same but no free upgrade if anything goes wrong and it exceeds the deadline.

of course u can. which plan are u upgrading to? what is your current plan?

ic. better visit tm point for new request instead. fastest solution.

Nice speed.

It stated authorized dealer. For new application etc I think can be done. Upgrade then I am not sure Liao.

If official tm point they can do almost everything even things cannot be done by 100 or the email or online support.

another few more days, can check on the link for free upgrade eligibility.
