2) If no longer under warranty, you can choose to get it replaced for free with a further contract extension.

The only equipment that is lifetime warranty is the BTU. All others are only 1 year warranty.

Hi, all
Good new, unifi bonanza promotion is back,       :

802.11ax - there's pretty much no consumer device that supports this right now 

For me, gaming routers are overpriced and gimmicky - for the same price I'd rather build a Mikrotik/enterprise network setup and it will eat that ASUS for breakfast in terms of performance, reliability and security

Of course, a traditional Ethernet connection will be much more reliable, provided that the router itself is not of rubbish grade

There was a short .my tld outage. Posted by other forumer

Again down........    

Change to 8.8.8.8...still some is down...

Not yet...

Change to 1.9.1.9 or Opendns and you'd be golden.

Google's DNS facing some difficulties at the moment. 1.1.1.1 also.

Agreed. Hopefully mynic will give an explanation as to what happened. The errors that I see indicates Mynic’s DNSKEY (the public key) is missing or invalid.

Did someone hack them and generated a new pair but failed to update DNSKEY and/or BIND?

Or less sinister, maybe somebody just accidentally deleted something?

North Korea?

Wanna ask you guys something, since my 7 years of using unifi i nvr bother installing the unifi tv box, but i decided it to install it for my dad cause my account has the ultimate pack. The box could not reach the server when i connect to the router, so i call report to unifi and they brought a technician to help.

He mentioned that this box is obsolete and they need to replace the box with a newer one cause the old box will not work anymore with the server. He replaced the box and it worked after that.

But my bill for this month, they charged me 300 bucks for the replacement box which i feel is ridiculous cause the old box cannot be use anymore. Is it right for them to charge me for the box?

Its a bigger box, its silver in color and has a small display panel on the left side of the box, I cant remember the model name but the technician has already brought it back with him.
Way bigger than the current unifitv box which is only a small white box

The second one, well it was the technician that said the box can't be used but he didn't mentioning about charging a new box for it. He just say to replace the box to a newer and it will work. Yea I think I can mentioned that I was not given a new box when i signed a new contract and it was not offered to me, after i made a complain to them they mention to change the bill next cycle after they make the report to the billing department. Lets see how it goes.

To be fair, the half price speed doubled came from previous government. Was the price halved then? No. Speed doubled, yes but not all got it. My speed was free upgraded from 30 to 50, that's not doubled but well.

It's just a start for this new government, at least we shall have some discounts now. I'm definitely happy and looking forward to next step. I believe there will be another round of discount. Fingers crossed.

The Ministry needs to negotiate with the providers especially big whale like TM who is monopolizing the market now, so it may take some time to reach there. I am also looking forward to open market where more companies can startup their broadband business here.

PUTRAJAYA: Fixed broadband prices are expected to drop by at least 25% by year end in a move by the Pakatan Harapan government to fulfil its election manifesto pledge.

This anticipated reduction is due to the Mandatory Standard on Access Pricing (MSAP) which came into force on June 8.

Reduce by AT LEAST 25% due to MSAP. So could be more than 25% due to other factors, but maybe not by July/Aug 2018.
Read Najib's manifesto launched in April, he had postponed "half price and double speed" from "2 years from 2017" to "within 5 years if BN wins GE14".
PH's manifesto didn't specify the time frame but it should be a 5-year job scope.

Maxis supports the price regulation for both Layer 2 HSBB Network Service with QoS and
Layer 3 HSBB Network Service, however views the prices for both as substantially high.
Based on Maxis’s analysis of the proposed price of RM133 per month (based on RM94
recurring charge and RM39 installation charge over 24 months), it is higher than TM’s
retail price of RM129 per month. Currently, there is a RM99 promotion for 10 Mbps, that
is very close to the proposed recurring charge of RM94 per month. This would not allow
the Access Seeker to be able to compete with TM. For the higher speed such as 30 Mbps,
50 Mbps and 100 Mbps, the proposed regulated prices are not above TM’s retail prices,
however, they cause a significantly negative margin to the Access Seeker of 63%, 21%
and 19% respectively. In the UK, the regulated prices by Ofcom for the high speed fixed
broadband is only between 12% to 17% of the operator’s most popular retail prices, and
this provides a margin of between 83% to 88% for the Access Seekers to recover their
costs and compete against the incumbent’s retail packages. In contrast, the proposed
regulated prices in Malaysia is more than 80% of the retail packages offered by TM to its
end users.
Maxis submits that, in order to sustain competition, the regulated prices of HSBB Network
Services are at the minimum 40% to 50% of the incumbent’s retail prices. This is derived
based on Ofcom’s final statement of the “Fixed Access Market Reviews: Approach to the
VULA Margin” published on 15 March 2015, where Ofcom requires BT to maintain a
minimum margin of approximately £22 to £25 between the wholesale VULA prices and its
own retail packages to end users based on its consumer’s portfolio of fibre-based
packages, rather than individual products or bundle.
Further, Maxis also submits that the structure of the regulated prices should follow that of
TM’s wholesale prices, to separate into port and bandwidth. This is also implemented by
ACCC in Australia. This structure would provide flexibility to the Access Seeker to offer
different forms of speeds to their end users.
Finally, as a fall back, Maxis proposes the MCMC to consider the retail minus approach in
particular for the HSBB Network Services that are most important to the development of
the country.
TM comments that Layer 3 HSBB Network Service without network service is not in the
Access List and should not be included under the purview of this review. Further, TM has
highlighted that the proposed pricing structure reflects retail pricing and is inappropriate
at the wholesale level. Firstly, TM will not achieve cost recovery with this pricing structure
as it makes no allowance for incremental cost in preparing and conditioning the local ring,
aggregation core, BRAS and core ring to align with the structure. Secondly, the proposed
pricing structure is not ready for immediate deployment as there needs to be modification
to the back-end system. Thirdly, the structure encourages the Access Seeker to be
positioned as a Reseller/End User than as a Service Provider.
TM also clarifies that the Layer 3 HSBB Network Service with network service should only
be applicable for High Speed Internet and does not include value-added services such as
VOD and IPTV, which are charged separately. Further, the prices are for Point of
Interconnection (POI) at an Access Provider’s premises (which includes access and core
network) within Peninsular Malaysia only. For Sabah and Sarawak, the cost of submarine
cable will be included. TM also proposes the pricing structure to be consistent with the
current wholesale offering for HSBA based on port and bandwidth. To be in line with the
pricing structure, TM proposes to remove contention ratio in the core network, as the
Access Seeker will use contention ratio. Despite the above, TM maintains that the HSBB
service should not be price regulated as there is already a significant wholesale HSBB
market and is more than sufficient to provide competitive broadband service offerings for
the long-term benefit of end users. It is also best practice not to regulate where there is
significant capital investment deployed for new network infrastructure and where service
demand is still emerging.

Pay premium for heavy users.
Choice to pay minimal (or even subsidised by Govt) for basic Internet service (10-20Mbps) with quotas.

Normal users do not require >25Mbps.
