About the Speedtest, I can get 30mbps,this is why I’m asking why only can stream 720p even my internet speed is 30Mbps
*
Because most speedtest such as SpeedTest.net only reflect domestic traffic speed. It does not reflect international traffic speeds in which many of these services are hosted such as Netflix etc. Since Netflix also has its own speedtest at fast.com, you should try that and compare to your speedtest.net results.

How to know if I’m using ipv6?
*
You can check from the connection properties of either your LAN or WiFI connection. If IPV6 connectivity reads Internet then you are using IPV6.
Or you can just visit this page https://test-ipv6.com/ on your computer or Smart TV.

I tested on my smart tv, it said
i  -Your IPv4 address on the public internet appears to be ........
X -Your ISP appears to be TM suck net
i  -No IPv6 address detected
i  -You appear to be able to browse the IPv4 only. You will not able to reach IPv6-only sites
i  -To ensure the best internet performance and connectivity,ask your ISP about native IPv6
i  -Https support in now on this site
“Tick”  -Your DNS sever (possibly run by your ISP)appears to have IPv6 internet access

Should I setup IPv6?

You could try but I doubt it would make any difference. Have you tried other DNS like Google DNS or OpenDNS?

you are not alone with this. i wasnt throttled for a while until a month ago. i will be throttled at around 830pm-1am. its gonna be throttled like crazy. imagine 480p-720p max on a 100mbps unifi. i am still having the same problem with it. youtube 4k is not affected which confirms that the line is not congested. my way around it is to connect to a community vpn server (eg:vpngate) and it will stream flawlessly getting 15mbps 2160p. but as soon as i disconnect the vpn, it goes to pixel town again. LMAO. tried calling tm but they dont see it as a problem because speedtest.net shows perfect 100mbps down and 50mbps up. just fyi, all my device wired lg tv and laptop are throttled. wireless side on my iphone and android phone is even worse. dont even know what else to do anymore. im sorry for anyone who face this, i understand how it feel.

Please take note that Netflix is not hosted in Malaysia therefore it relies on the international gateway which most of the time is beyond our control(Also depends on TM's routing policy). Local Speedtest only measures domestic traffic which again doesn't really say much about the overall internet experience as some services aren't hosted in Malaysia.

Yeah but not all though. Most of the stuff I watch are coming from SIN00x, Singapore, I assume. These take a while to ramp up to 1080p. The locally hosted ones are much faster, of course. Matrix for example is hosted here. Pacific Rim is from Singapore, if you like to test.

True. Although we have local CDN, not everything is hosted there. Even most of my services don't use local servers.

You're right. I just checked a minute ago at 11:30am. Everything I tried is streaming from Telekom servers. I tried Matrix, Pacific Rim, Avengers Civil War, Benji, Ace Ventura, Ricky Gervais Humanity, Russell Peter Notorious and an episode of Dexter.

I'll check again tonight and see what happens. I wonder what's their criteria for falling back to Singapore's servers. Maybe when Telekom's server reaches a certain load? If I look at the CDNs for Benji, I see one SZB, 2 x SIN, 4 SYD, Sydney? So perhaps they fallback from one to another depending on load.

So to RonanGow, I would say this would be Netflix's problem.

For the curious, shift-ctrl-alt S, D and L.

Most probably too many people streaming Netflix. But I believe you can change the CDN that Netflix uses as shown below as well as set the bitrate so that the video quality doesn't degrade.

Yes, can. If I’m on SZB, both SIN and SYD appears as options. But if I’m already on SIN, SZB isn’t listed as an option.

Have you tried accessing Netflix using TM's DNS servers?

No, currently using Google and OpenDNS. Will give it a try. Does it make a difference?

The response for Netflix servers maybe different. Another way would be to VPN to Malaysia server.

Very nice. How is it different?

Do you mean VPN to Malaysia VPN server even though I’m already in Malaysia?

Some DNS Servers may have different IP range responses for sites. Simple example would be Google.com, if you use TM DNS and Google DNS the IP response you get will be different.
Yup. It may help with the routing issue.

Is there anyway on iPad or iphone netflix app to display stats like what you have in a browser?

As far as I know no. I even tried the key combos with Bluetooth keyboard connected, it doesn't work.
