can just use the homeplug with AC pass-through function so that it does not occupy ur power socket.

My download of 1GB file took 5 mins. 30Mbps plan.

What plan is this to get such high upload speed?

which is good sia. Maybe it is in progress of early upgrade.

Actually extra rm50 for 50Mbps extra speed is really worth it.

just that I noticed that the faster the speed, the faster my hardisk will be filled up. The more extra portable hardisks need to be purchased.

TP-link Acher C5. Very good wifi router with good range and speed.

TM fixed line to call 1300-222-888 is free rite? KFC delivery hotline.

u applied via outside agent or at tm point rite? if yes, actually it is normal procedure.

like other said, it is meant to confirm that the service is indeed installed/activated and the owner will want to keep the service. Never ask why, but it should be a kind of security measure by TM. It must be done within 7 days after service is activated.

In fact, if applying via agent, they cannot ask for photocopy of ic but instead the agent will need to bring a machine to read the owner's ic for verification purpose instead. Another security measure by TM.

So it seems like TM had imposed a lot of new security measure for services applied via agent or other third party dealer. Maybe previously there are many dispute cases.

but best no matter how it is to apply via online. Safest plus one mth subscription. It is super time consuming process for online application, one week time before they call to confirm the application after submitted application online. Probably another one week minimum for installer to arrange an appointment. But TM online had done a good job to terminate the streamyx (for users who upgrade) immediately after the unifi is activated. Rather hassle free. And online application does not need the rm100 thingy.

First method, it sounds like a good solution. I have facing the same issue also. Upgraded from 384kbps streamyx to 30Mbps unifi recently and the TP-link archer c5 wifi router is given. I am actually very happy with this wifi router, the range and speed of this wifi router is really good but the cons is that it cannot do vlan tagging on wireless. The dlink one looks nice in appearance and it can do vlan tagging to work with hypptv via wireless natively but I really dun like this brand based on past experience.

So I can actually try to reuse the streamyx stock (silver one) wifi router from TM and connect with the Ethernet cable to the tp-link Ethernet port 4 (the one that is configured to the hypptv vlan) and make the streamyx stock wifi router either on bridge or usual NAT with a new SSID. Then connect the hypptv box wirelessly to this newly created SSID. And I guess this should work.

Initially I planned to buy a TP-link wireless router to fix this issue, but guess I can save the money on this now.

Really cannot, so if ur unifi comes with free calls, u must use the new unifi no to call. But u can opt to keep ur existing copper telephone line no by paying rm1 per mth to maintain the number but calls are charged on per use basis.

if u apply online, the streamyx will not be terminated automatically after ur unifi is activated as the two services are under different names.

just ask ur sister to terminate the streamyx immediately after the unifi is activated.

for a recently installed and activated unifi 30Mbps, possible to upgrade to 50Mbps plan now so that it can be qualified for next year 100 Mbps free upgrade?

'serious?

if yes, maybe i should really consider for this. extra rm50 for 2x more download speed and 2.5 more upload speed is really a good deal.

New installation and activated for this new 30Mbps on 6 dec 2016 only.

RM169 - Unfi 30Mbps
RM30 - HyppTV Ruby Pack.
RM20 - Special discount
= RM179 (Promo Price)

below GST for the above price.

plus first month will get 1 month free (if sign up online) and need to pay rm10 for stamp duty (one time charge).

what was your previous plan and how long you had been using the previous plan?

how did you upgrade? via TM point? did you ask the staff if this way of switching plan to 50Mbps will be qualified for next year 100Mbps upgrade?

Oh ic. That's good. Then I should really consider too. Rm50 is really quite worth it for this upgrade, especially with this it will be much cheaper price in long run comparing to those who are on 100Mbps now currently is paying rm329.

Although there was news saying that TM may reduce the retailed price for the 100Mbps. However, with this free upgrade for 50Mbps the price paid will still be cheaper.

Just dun know if free upgrade are they upgrading both download and upload speed as per the normal plan or they just simply upgrade the download speed without upload speed.

all the while UniFi sign up online will get one month free. It is slower progress (min 1 to 2 weeks) but can get one mth free to offset certain amount of the installation charge which is good too.

this free one mth thing has been around for many many years.

ic. but i prefer to apply via official channel, same like i only subscribe to mobile line at official telco shop like maxis center, i will not go for any ah bxng shop. Agent no matter proper or not proper i will avoid, i am ok with 1 month only free and forgo the extra 0.5 for the hassle.
