i did not receive sms. long time subscriber, 50mbps. i called up 100 they said the 10 upgrade not valid for me. any idea how to get this offer?

nice. maybe i should call again

yes i too long time customer since VIP5

sounds like cap followed by auto throttle based on the description

did they change from unlimited to a monthly data cap prior to throttling or something?

i'm upgrading from 50 to 100mbps using the rm10 promo. is the router that comes with it any good? also should i expect a replacement for the hypptv device as well? mine hasn't changed since 5mbps o_O;


also not sure what router their giving either, but i already have an Asus AC68u, is that good enough for 100mbps? or is the unifi router going to be better? any thoughts.

did you test download/upload to foreign server e.g. US ? (not malaysia server. no content )

100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s

hardly taboo at all. not asking what linux distro you dl o-o; just asking whats the max speed it top out whether truly 100mbps or not. but whatever you comfortable with kek

but running the tmnut speed test to local server is hardly a good test. need foreign server test, especially US server.

is it normal for the tmnut to take back the router if they see your using your own?

just upgraded to 100mbps.

speedtest local server yes is up to 100 mbps dl/50 mbps ul.

but US and europe server i see is between 30-50 mbps. is sufficient for me for netflix. though what are others on the 100mbps getting for US/europe servers?

didn't test torrent yet, but then again i don't torrent much anyway, but based on the speedtest should be around those speeds.

as for latency local is 3MS

to US server is the normal 200-250ms o well... still better than those ADSL times 600-1000ms

games like counter strike, better off playing locally because too latency sensitive. if mmorpg is playable.

My advise is to read smallnetbuilder for their tips for buying router. Don't overspend because some of the features are just marketing fluff that don't add much value for you

https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/basics/wire...er-2017-edition

https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wi...-t-need-mu-mimo


keep it simple
- wired routing (performance, check benchmark)
- wireless (check the performance benchmark, and only get the necessary features that will actually help. snb advises what kinds of performance you can expect based on your networking setup)
- price, pay for whats within your budget. get the best router for that price
- get a router that supports good firmware. i like RT merlin so i got an asus router that he maintains (which also has other asus goodies like qos, nat acceleration, security features better than other brands). Other good alternatives are routers that use Pfsense (also has good features and security). I only recommend either one of these 2 only.

tested downloading 2 linux iso on torrent. i didn't look see peer location for confirmation, but it's good enough for me. I was even using PIA VPN at the same time ^^


If i turn off PIA VPN should be faster probably

normal user probably even 5-10mbps broadband is more than enough. Download is way faster than last time where you had to wait like half the day to download.

for netflix they recommend 25mbps for their service
https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306





anyway with 100mbps dl and 50mbps ul i can do quite a lot of stuff, especially better backup to cloud or stream remotely using plex for my spanky new QNAP ts-877


also easier time to do my youtube game streaming



ran more tests.



i thought PIA can hit 80mbps or more? maybe the server i pick not so good perhaps

turned off vpn then test speedtest new york US, i get this.



i also did the same test as you to same server, but using AC68U RT MERLIN firmware



another test i did to here
https://fast.com/en/#

with PIA VPN 80mbps. without 95mbps

i tested also on private tracker. 1 torrent wasn't enough so i try download 3 torrent, manages to near max out



11.3 MB/s

100mbps = 12.5 MB/s

so performance wise yes you can near max out


2.2 gb a few minutes, a 14.3gb around 50minutes. and thats 2 files downloading same time

tested on old utorrent 2.2.1 build 25110

old version so no flags, can't see which countries the peers are.


anyway i don't download much, just curious so ran some test


as for the previous comment about service slow down after few week, i'll see how that goes but i'm probably not the best person to test this, since i don't download much, doubt i'll hit any monthly bandwidth caps if they exist.


*results tested without vpn to reduce bottlenecks when running tests.



also tested wireless AC 2.4hz 0.4 meters running wifi analyzer on samsung s3 smartphone says 72mbps
