Once again, as I mentioned earlier. Those staff sure don't have the real answer in their heads. Some said it's 300Mbps, while their twitter said it's 10X faster, and now this one said 100Mbps is the maximum speed, no further upgrade. Macam macam ada.

IMO, no point to keep bothering the staff. It's a waste of time. Just relax and wait for their announcement.

If the x10 speed news is true, then no matter you want it or not, TM sure will have to replace all the BTU & Routers for the current 30 Mbps & 50 Mbps users. Probably there will be another round of chaos for this equipment swapping since most of the users are in these 2 categories.

I think I understand why they postpone the 1Gbps. So far, most of decent mid-range routers still can support up to 800 to 900 Mbps. But for 1Gbps, it's a total different league. In order to achieve such speed, you would need a high end router with may cost near to rm 900-1000, if you want a decent one. TM probably still scratching their heads figuring which high end router they should provide for the future 1Gbps users. Not to mention that some users may see it as a burden (need to buy high end router) since not everyone need such a high speed.

12 or 15 July , they are no difference. We still need to wait until 15 August before it starts to roll out. Be patient sikit ya. What will come will come eventually.

Nice sharing bro! This should be pinned!

Now I know which router I should change to. No need to buy the highest end router because not all the wifi clients (phone,smart TV,game console) can support such high end speed. For example, one's current phone is using Mimo 2x2. So even if one buy a 3x3 or 4x4 router which are much more expensive, one's phone still can only reach about 400Mbps. So Mimo 2x2 router is good enough for one's usage.


It's all about the cost, my friend. Imagine if the new devices comes with 3x3 or 4x4 spatial streams, it can be much more expensive.

Can you provide source for this?

I see. Thanks.

However, I couldn't wait until 18 July. So I bought a new AC router for myself just now. Asus RT-AC1300UHP. The one that everybody recommended in this thread.

Bought it at Viewnet Plaza lowyat. RM469 (Original price is RM539). It's good bargain! Not sure when that price will last. Since everyone gonna upgrade their routers very soon, who knows, the price may go back to RM539 soon. So if anyone prefer to buy the router in retail stores, you can go there and buy it now before it's too late!

Frankly speaking, one thing I don't like is that we need to wait for the technician to come , check, replace, then they only execute the upgrade. They have to do it one by one. It would be great if they upgrade our speed prior to that. Afterall, some of us already eligilble for the upgrade without the need ot changing BTU. Heck, some of us even already changed the router instead of waiting for their TM router.

Do you mean that you haven't received the 2017 Thank you surprise upgrade yet? If that's the case, then I am afraid that they will skip it and just upgrade your speed to 300Mbps. I may be wrong about this though. You better check with TM support and see what they will say about it.

If TM follows the way on how they did to those 50Mbps->100Mbps Thank you surprise upgrade last year, most likely, they will come to your house to check first. If the equipments are old, they will change it on the spot before upgrading. So people won't have reason to blame the old equipments.

Now we only need to know whether TM will do the same thing as well on this Unifi turbo plan. And they also need to consider the amount of available stocks, and the choices of router that can support those 800Mbps users.

Based on that pic, if I am not mistaken, they are saying that started from 18 July, we can go to their website and go through all those verification process. Once it's done, the upgrade will be done asap (may be on the same day). That's why they said "upgraded gradually starting 18 July 2018 onwards". Of course, it will still be rolling out in stages. If you are lucky enough, you may be the very first person who will be upgraded on the first day, provided that you have finished the verification on 18 July. It's possible since some 10Mbps users already upgraded today. This means TM is ready now and they can execute the process anytime.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Then let's the war begin! LOL.

Or if you are not in hurry.............

I hope they will provide an option for the advance users, to let us tick where we confirmed our equipments are already eligible for the upgrade. No need any replacement. Just bring it on!

The FAQ and term and condition section are not yet completed. Better complete the presentation before showing it to the public. Not to mention that bro xefron did say that the presentation has error on the starting date.

Yes. it does support.



Nice article!

After reading your article, now I baru tau that my old Innatech router that provided by TM, which I already ditched few years ago, is actually a Gigabit router?



Time to dig it out for back up purpose.



PS: Btw bro, you seems forgot to add in the popular Asus router (RT-AC1300UHP) which been already being recommended many times in this thread, into your list.

Also, these 2 routers, RT-AC1200G+ & RT-AC58U can support up to 800Mbps in LAN connection, and their wireless connection should be able support up to at least 300Mbps (Maximum 400Mbps).

Ya. With all due respect bro, I already put a pic of it in my post, so eveybody should have knew which router i was taking about. How can you be mistaken on that ah?

You could just go to their official website to check instead of asking.

My bad. Sorry about that.


Nope. Mine was RG4332. Ya. Innacomm/Innatech all look the same.

Since you are asking, may I know whether this RG4332 is Gigabit router? Although Jjuggler mentioned it in his article and he did say it's a Gigabit router. I just want a double confirmation since you seems like an expert in this area. Not that I want to use it, since I already ditched it long time ago. Just want to figure out what's the spec since I couldn't find any of it. Thanks in advance bro.

Ok. Thanks for the help. I guess I can throw it into dustbin now.

Yup. The technician will come and change it for you. After testing it, then only proceed the upgrade. That's the procedure.
