Tried a few online shopping website. Lazada and Shopee can hardly load. 11 street is ok. Other site like youtube no problem.

Unifi slooooowwww...

Depends on how they block it. If Russia blocks it at their routers then it should not affect us but it's a lot easier to block by using naughty BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) announcements, by mistake or intentional, in order to hijack/route traffic to Russia where they can then drop the traffic or perhaps capture it.

A previous incident.

Oh. Your explanation is much easier to understand. Thanks for the enlightment mate. Now the question is how soon will Tm acknowledge this and fix it ? I guess today can't do anything except for watching youtube tonight...

You read my mind bro. I was reading through previous posts and thought the same thing, and wanted to reply in the same vein using the same link as well haha. Something is definitely wrong with the routing but if it is related to Russia's action, this remains to be seen,

So far on my side, youtube and playstore are working fine. Other sites (local or international) are either slow or unreachable. And I am using IP range 42.xx here. And before you ask me to change my IP, sadly to say, can't do. My IP range was been fixed since few weeks ago. No matter how many time I reset the router, the IP range is still the same. So I guess I am stucked with the current situation....

Just tried 124.82.86.111 & 60.54.101.2. Seems OK. Routing identical to 210.187.8.241. Let me see if I can get a 42.x.x.x.

I thought is my area get affected so I called TM... damn...


They didn't know about this slow and thought my equipment issue.

Got my 100mbps installed on Monday 16/4/18.

So I tried to dl ubuntu torrent from their official page to try out torrenting, since it was recommended on reddit to see if I am getting what I paid for.

First a little background, I was on unifi 50mbps for the past 2 years and my DLs are usually 4-5Mb/s without having to do port forwarding, on the old orange and white D-link DIR615. With UPnP/ NAT-PMP forwarding on.

Now that they gave me a TP-link AC1200, I assume I should be getting near 10Mb/s instead.

I did a little test plugging in the old DIR615 vs the AC1200.

From the graph below you could see that the DIR615 got up to 4.7Mb/s and hover around >1Mb/s.
But for AC1200 it spiked to about 2.5Mb/s and hover at speeds near 500kb/s.

I am wondering is the speed getting throttled over at TM or it's the problem with the router.

Anyone getting these sort of speeds?

only local connection is good lol.



I can't even connect to Singapore based online game servers, heck even facebook is inaccessible right now.

what happened zzzzz why always only tm...

The C1200 is crap. Get yourself a better router. I recommend the TP-Link C7 v4 or the Asus RT-AC1300UHP.

Actually, I am not really sure if it is really Russia blocking those CDNs causing all the problem.

At first, I also wanna post BGP stuff or cloudflare/amazon servers in Russia inaccessible (load balancing stuff, russia is blocking by IP after all) but then it will start to become a trouble.....

Or it might be a simple configuration fault by TM....
I mean back in year 2015, our TM did pulled this type of error.

100mbps user
speedtest not more than 50mbps today

Now isn't the right time to test.....our TM connectivity is having a bit a issue right now.

telekom only guarantee local speed

i cant play clash royale today

Affected
115.134.*.*
60.49.*.*
175.142.*.*
42.188.*.*

Not affected
210.187.*.*
60.54.*.*
124.82.*.*
118.100.*.*

So, if you can change and get the unaffected ip address then lucky you. Else you need to use a proxy or vpn to get better routing. Seems so dejavu, remember three years ago my house can't stream twitch with unifi 20Mbps but office can no problem. Turns out office ip address is 118.100.*.* and house is not so go figure.

TM routing is so garbage ugh.

Yo I get what you mean dude, from your posts on this thread, but I do see results on the same router on my friend's Time 300mbps in his apartment upwards of 10Mb/s though.
So I am like what is happening rn, is it a router issue or a ISP issue?? thought I might find out with users around here, am I the only one having this problem.
But yea, definitely will consider your suggestions man. Thanks


Right, so I guess I might have to observe for a few more days.
