oic, thanks, seems like my agent is lying on me for this

Thanks for the info. I went TM and tried digging their CS, showed me their upgrade path available for customers and even the thank you surprise estimated upgrade. But looks like Lite 10mbps won't get any surprise for west Malaysia.

Well it's only fair that your sister is made aware of all the factors.
U can also tell her that the upload speed is way faster than Streamyx; it'll increase yr torrent seed ratio resulting in shorter download times and that may result in less wear and tear on your devices, along with a commensurate decrease in power consumption. No idea how you'd quantify that to her though.

There's also less likelihood of damage from a lightning strike when you're on a fiber optic line, as compared to copper lines.

I believe there was an agent for Sarawak listed in post #1 of this thread...u could give him a try.

The download speed improved by +20-25%.
The upload speed improved by 500% (I can use HD CCTV monitoring from my mobile now!)
Torrent download, not throttled at this moment! (So download is now a few hundred % faster)

The electricity consumption is very minimal.
I don't think you switch off your modem when you are not using Streamyx?

My current 8mbit runs at 10mbit. And she just throw her drama torrent download to me using a seed box service that I paid for lol. And tell me hey u are the one who needed the side grade.

And you'd be surprised: yes we do switch off modem when not in use. Lol see how picky one can get when it comes to saving money? (and guess what, we're not even in poverty or anywhere near poverty, just a regular family)

The lightning strike prevention will be a strong point tho. Since we got 3 modems spoilt by lightning over these years. Even killed one of my mobos and network card.

Thanks guys. Time to battle it out tonight

What are the download speeds that you guys are getting from Filezilla? Is it normal if i'm only getting 1MB/s from 10MB/s line?

Speed will depend on where u downloading from?

Let's say Europe?

depends on where in Europe.

yes you should getting around 1MB/s download
it's 10Mbps, not MBps
know the difference between bits & bytes

Off-topic: Maxis fibre 10Mbps (RM139) is now adding unlimited calls to mobile/landlines

Just tested friend's stb on my unifi lite but does not work, maybe like some said the mac address needed to be register which I am still curious which mac address, the router?

Thinking will it be pointless even if you called tmnet as we are not been entitled to tv box at the first place.

if you downgrade, will they start a new 2 years contract?

downgrade means no more hypp tv and free landline calls?

It is the MAC address of the STB.

Yes. It'll be a renew contract. No more hypptv and calls, not that I'm using them anyways.

I thought RM129 is without free calls, HyppTv still got?

My IP changes every few minutes. Is this normal? Is this due to PPPoE?

i'd assume that u're referring to the WAN (internet) IP address and not your internal network IP address... no it is not normal - shouldn't change every few minutes

It's the public IP address. Should i change it to dynamic IP instead?

Just to answer myself. Found out that she's on VIP5 (OKU) RM119, HyppTV, No Free calls. Not sure how she got that package in 2017.
