Got my upgrade to 100mb activated today, upload is fine at 55mb, download only getting around 70.
They only brought a new router and said new modem wasn't necessary. I assumed they'd be changing modem as the existing one only has 100mb ports rather than gigabit?

QUOTE(kennydy1990 @ Oct 26 2017, 01:21 PM) Yeah, same case with me, I had to call them to change it and requires me to renew my contract. Guess I'll be sticking to unifi for some time. It'll be a waste the BTU caps your download speed less than 100mb especially if I want to get that extra 14mb without any hiccups. Hmm that's a bit annoying. I don't mind renewing the contract as I don't see anything else being available here in the for next couple of years I'll give them a call. Tried loading up fully with torrents etc and same result as Speedtest - max 70 down, 55 up

Tried loading up fully with torrents etc and same result as Speedtest - max 70 down, 55 up On second thoughts - as my router supports dual WAN, could I just connect second LAN port on the modem as a second WAN interface and load balance? just a thought as a temporary solution until modem is replaced I'm using Edgerouter BTW

QUOTE(arrsoo @ Oct 26 2017, 03:40 PM) guys, mind me asking what modem and router you are using currently for 100mb? I'm using Ubiquiti ER-Lite 3 as a router. Model is still the old Huawei HG850a (with only 100mb ports) which is why I think I'm not getting full speed. Checking router settings at the moment to make sure nothing is limiting on that end.

QUOTE(arrsoo @ Oct 26 2017, 03:48 PM) the ubiquiti router is supplied by TM after the upgrade to 100mb? No, that's my own one. It's only a router without Wifi TM brought the Dlink cylinder one but I didn't connect that

QUOTE(Yluxion @ Oct 26 2017, 06:48 PM) After waiting for over 10 months, finally I gotten the free upgrade today from 50 to 100. 2 technicians come over with a D-Link DIR850L router, but I told them I'm using my own Asus RT-AC68U. So there's no need to change the router. So they just standard SOP, pluck-in cable do some speed test, update user data system and signing forms. That's it. They say I get the keep the D-Link router as that was my property. Are you still using the old modem - Huawei HG850A?

QUOTE(Yluxion @ Oct 26 2017, 07:36 PM) Yupe. Using the same old modem but mine is Alcatel Lucent I240G. DL speed = 104++ UL speed = 52++ Ah yeah, that at least has gigabit ports I believe. I played with router settings and got it to about 85mb down tops, no higher. Opened a case with TM and see if they'll switch the modem.
