Yeah, Telin is weird, it goes to Germany then SG then HK? Maybe the GEO-IP database hasn't been updated yet.

Where's your proxy located?

I just use kproxy extension for firefox. It's using a Canadian server. It's free so not the best speed but enough to get around 5 to 10Mbps, better than unifi's 1-3Mbps. Didn't check which CDN the Canada server is connected, too lazy. I don't watch twitch religiously anymore, no mood already.

Difficult to say. Asus, at one time, had problems with leaking capacitors, maybe a bad manufacturing batch? Mikrotik also had the same problem with their RB4xx series. I'm sure other brands also have some similar problems. Maybe heat is a contributing factor. I've read that some of these hi-end wifi routers run really hot. I dread opening a router and seeing that it comes with a 12V 3A PSU. Mikrotik stuff tends to have fairly low power requirements, the hEX is up to 5W and the hAP AC, currently their fastest wifi router, is 17W.
*
Seems like Asus routers faced quite a lot of failed wifi chips. Seems like these devices are either made with cheap components or have very poor cooling solution. Looking into amazon and newegg reviews shows most high end asus routers failed less than one year. Not a complete failure but mostly the 5G or 2.4G stops working and requires a reset which leads to a total failure not long after, despite the reset.

I'm looking to buy a new AC router, mikrotik is nice but the wifi is spotty at best and no amount of configuration can fix it. Asus routers are nicely featured but high in price and quality is questionable to say the least. I'm using an old Asus rt-n16, it's been more than 6 years (using it since streamyx, now unifi), still going strong with tomato toastman f/w. Paid like RM300 something back then and this thing is well worth it's money. Too bad nowadays tech not so reliable anymore.

Hmm, that Telin IP address, 180.240.177.2, I don't think it's in Hong Kong. Seems to be in Indonesia. Traceroute to 180.240.177.2 from Batam: 33ms.

Hmm, recently when I'm having this peak hour issue
https://unifi.com.my takes forever to load and once it loads I can't even log in. It just keeps spinning...

Those with no problems can log in to https://unifi.com.my, right?

Not sure. Based on ping, 33ms from Batam vs 200ms from HE HKG. So it's a lot closer to Singapore/Indonesia than Hong Kong. GEO IP databases showing 2 different locations for that IP, HKG and ID. Maybe they just moved it. I don't know. maybe test again next month after they have time to update the whois data and geo ip.

whois is may be out of date since it's manually updated. Mine shows me in PJ when I'm in Kajang.

Seriously i suggest put a usb fan blow to Asus router to cool down it is a way for longer lifespan.
I also using the method to cool down my asus AP,quite cool but i think may lose abit wifi performance.
Example:

The power adapter on mine died, have to use my own spare while waiting for tmnut technician to come change it. Took Thursday to Tuesday (6 days) for them to come and change. That's after I call everyday and demand to speak with manager on Sunday then only they rush it. Terrible experience.

FYI, 60GB quota was written inside every UNIFIers agreements since N years ago.
it's was subject to TM decisions, 60GB is more than enough for entry levels.
It's just RM79 after all...
*
We know this, it's not a secret. When unifi first came out it has a quota and everyone was protesting in facebook and boycotting it. TM cave in and "suspended" the quota system to please everyone. It was only a matter of time before it will resume but of course, nobody knows for sure if it will.

My area finally got Unifi, currently on streamyx, planning to sign up for the Edu pack then wait for the speed upgrade.

Question, what is the time taken to switch from Streamyx to Unifi? How many hours of downtime? Do I need to take whole day annual leave? I know there are lots of variables here but my property is landed not high rise.
*
Register unifi, after finish install then cut streamyx. Zero downtime.

Why still need to register to get the free upgrade? Honestly, who would NOT want a free speed upgrade while paying the same amount each month? Bodoh la TM go die la waste people's time.

Later someone sue TM because his kids download all sorts of stuff in one hour and blew up the PC. If TM didn't automatically upgrade him to 800Mbps, he would have an extra 7 hours to prevent that from happening. (I think the maths is a bit wrong. Will correct tomorrow.)
*
If i'm not mistaken TM already had a tnc that roughly states they can change tnc without user's consent. Now suddenly they want consent? Hah puh-lease. Logical reason would be to lessen the blow on their network's bandwidth because you have to opt-in instead of everyone just gets a free upgrade. If someone forgot or didn't know about it then lucky TM can skip a few accounts, save a few bandwidth and more profit too boot.

When doing shady things that profit them they can change it without the customer's permission. If it doesn't then they expect customer to jump hoops, sign here, do this i.e. make it annoying enough that only a small group of people would do it.

Who knows TM may let you re-select / confirm the package, eg Pro 100 or Advance 30/50 to Turbo 100! Lite 10 is not upgraded to Pro 100 but Turbo 100!
Also some people may refuse to upgrade, especially those from Streamyx to Unifi because of phone number or re-wiring or pricing.
*
No such free upgrade from streamyx to unifi. You can't select anything, it's either your eligible or not. Eligibility depends on your physical hardware, if it's vdsl then your screwed because most can only support 100Mbps. So if your using 30Mbps, you might not even get an upgrade because I don't see any mention of x3 speed upgrade.

QUOTE(ClarenceT @ Jul 15 2018, 07:48 AM)
Anyway, from 2019, we can buy Unifi Basic 30, Turbo 100, 300, 500, 800 only, and Lite/Adv/Pro will become obsolete.
*
Source? Or else your just talking nonsense. You can speculate but until TM release an official pricing then it's anyone's guess.

Yes asked twice and tmpoint once...

Yes there is a penalty for downgrading regardless if your in contract or not. This is coming from a supervisor mind you, not from the receptionist or low level staff. I'm guessing you want to lower the price for your subscription then ask for a discount. Say your a loyal customer for X years and want to get better pricing because it's unfair. Be nice and considerate, don't be an asshole and they will try to help you as best as they can. Before you do anything, ask to speak with the supervisor or manager. Only they can give you discount, everyone at the front desk can't do shit so don't bother negotiating with them.

Logically, why would there be a penalty for a subscriber who is not under contract to downgrade?  shakehead.gif
Gullible much?...
*
Their service, their rule. The supervisor did say he will try to waived it for my case. I didn't downgrade but instead requested for a discount. The supervisor still insist there will be a penalty. When the discount was approved, there wasn't any penalty so I didn't have to pay anything.

Was there a penalty or not? Who can say. It's their rule, if they want to change it they can and we can't say or do anything about it.

Perhaps u r the asshole? As i mentioned earlier, my contract ended, and asking for downgrade, no issue of penalty ok?
I alwiz very nice to ask ppl since they r polite to me... only those asshole who r rude...

Aww poor little boy got triggered, sorry. As the saying goes, "Siapa makan cili dia terasa pedas". I got my discount pretty quick, less than a week after negotiating with a supervisor at TMpoint. He even waived the penalty, applied a perpetual discount and no contract extension. Guess i'm a special asshole or something for the supervisor to do something so nice to me.

Not sure why people so hype about this, even if you register so what? Last time it took more than 6 month to get the upgrade, that's after I registered and not after it was announced. You really think just because you register early TM will give your upgrade faster? Lulz such grandiose illusion.
