they did pulled a black wire into my house (new phone line maybe), but still i'm not sure whether it's copper or fibre... sorry i'm not expert in this, maybe if there a photo or some clue can show me will be much thankful.

this black wire straight go to the BTU right? If yes, then most likely it's FTTH. VDSL they will just use back ur existing copper phone line

unifi Turbo Plans Might Come With 10x Increase In Speed

https://www.lowyat.net/2018/165655/unifi-tu...speed-increase/

don't put your hopes up, though - probably another bawang attempt.
*
most likely will be

10Mbps ---> 30Mbps
30/50 Mbps ---> 100Mbps
100 Mbps ----> 200-300Mbps

right... everyone's just speculating, incl tm staff. biggrin.gif
seriously, i am quite sure they have capacity to go much higher than 100mbps for normal customer use.

the thing about tm/unifi is whether senior or junior staff, they dun speak clearly or they dun know the facts which is so shameful.

even at press conference or news release, it is not clear if they mean ""double or 10x" or "double or 10x up to max 100mbps".
so, better stop speculating and just wait...
*
definitely not 10x to 100-500Mbps for everyone innocent.gif

capacity is not an issue, but technical limitation is. Those using VDSL sure hard to touch 100Mbps minimum

Also will be costly if they swap new router for everyone at the same time.

It's pretty much confirmed for the 10x speed increase then since it comes from Unifi's official Twitter.
https://twitter.com/unifi/status/1014078032858869760

Time ppl says "Yawn, been there, done that"
Some may remember, a precedent has already been set here. That's more than 10x so TM is still behind the curve but we're not picky, right?
https://www.lowyat.net/2016/99127/time-fibr...bps-to-500mbps/

*subject to technical limitations, of course.

Bye Bye Time.

Incoming from TM: Our Twitter account was hacked.
*
Nah, confirm won't be 10x for everyone.

If 10x happen, it's more like it's just for the current 100Mbps to 1Gbps. Why? Because current 100Mbps users are obviously using FTTH and also Gigabit Router already. No 'real' cost for TM to just upgrade the speed and not need equipment change. Also, 100Mbps customers are only like 5% of their total Unifi subscribers.

Most ppl are using the 30-50Mbps and probably will be bumped up to 100Mbps.

Of course lah. That's pretty obvious. The tech needs to be there first. For example, if TIME were to follow suit, they can't upgrade a 300mbps user to 3Gbps. Just not possible with the subscriber's existing equipment.

If one is already on FTTH, there's no difference between 10, 30, 50 or 100 other than a numeric field in a database somewhere.
*
You and I know, but majority of the users most likely don't know about FTTH or VDSL.

Later they don't get 10x, they go complain and blame TM con ppl again.

I also can imagine some ppl will also complain why their download speed cannot achieve 100MB/s on their 1Gbps plan doh.gif

alot ppl had mentioned C1200 is a bad router.. other than what you mentioned could you explain more? i'm using it with 100Mbps since day 1 unifi gave it to me.. random reboot so far no encounter ( mayb it happen during midnight while im asleep).. starting is freak slow.. but we usually leave it on for 24/7 right?

Im staying in single storey house and i could get 100mbps/50mbps download and upload speed pair with tplink t6e card.. my phone aso could get to such speed..

my colleague been poisoning me to change to asus ac68u.. but i couldnt convince myself.. afterall i felt C1200 not that bad...
*
I don't have random reboot issue.

But signal range is kinda weak. For e.g., the router is just separated by bedroom wall+wardrobe cabinet, but I got weak signal 2.4GHz (5GHz totally cannot) on my bed

I had similar experience.

TM started to lay overhead Unifi cables (black color with yellow line) via phone polls Dec'17.

'Registered' with reseller in Jan'18, the statement was 'expected roll-out Mar'18.

Mar'18 passed by, no news. But I keep monitoring facilitization works - grey DB not installed until Apr'18 (probably).

May'18 - reseller created Whatsapp group and asked who wants to proceed with installation.
Said sorry because TM took time to enable installation in my Taman (from their system).
By this time, I checked again and again - my taman still no coverage in Unifi website.

Reseller informed me that they can only submit registration once TM enable my Taman in their system,
which took some time.

Mid May'18 - received SMS from Unifi stating that installation shall proceed by what date, etc.
I replied 'Agreed' and the installer called me only on the morning of the installation date.

Installation went fine.

It took me 5mths to get Unifi installed since the day i 'registered' with reseller.

Unfortunately for me - patience is the key.

I guess, the good thing is at least you are future-proof since it's FTTH?

I think TM is organising an industry/media briefing on 12 Jul to talk about their new turbo plans. Hence soyacincau 12 Jul.

TM probably only officially unveiled the turbo plans in their website on 15 Jul

I think just check the BTU unit and you'll know whether your condo is FTTH or VDSL

QUOTE(fox_shinoda @ Jul 11 2018, 12:35 PM)
so your current subs with Unifi is 30mbps or 50mbps?
*
Technically, no problem actually to achieve 100Mbps on VDSL2 provided that the copper quality is okay

Copper still possible to achieve >100 Mbps by using G.Fast. But I guess you need to wait long for TM to introduce this in Malaysia

If upgrade from 50 to 100Mbps, TM technician will have to come & change btu?

maybe change WiFi router if it's very old model

what type of BTU is fixed. VDSL won't magically turn into FTTH by changing the BTU.

if your already on FTTH, it will be just a simple change at TM side to increase the speed to 100Mbps

TM is set to turbo-boost Malaysia’s regional broadband standing starting 15 August 2018 when existing unifi Home customers enjoying broadband, phone and content services will be upgraded in phases up to 10 times the current broadband speed at the same monthly subscription. For example, an existing 30Mbps unifi Home customer will be upgraded up to 300Mbps whilst a 100Mbps unifi Home customer will be upgraded up to 800Mbps. Customers who have yet to sign up as a unifi Home customer are encouraged to subscribe to any existing unifi plan before 31 December 2018 to enjoy the speed upgrade in phases beginning 2019. Not yet unifi customers are encouraged to sign-up to existing plan via unifi.com.my for a hassle-free and faster service.

unifi Basic, exclusive for households with income of RM4,500 and below, is a broadband-only plan at 30Mbps with a 60GB monthly usage quota, offering greater affordability at RM79 per month - more than 50% lower than the current 30Mbps unifi Home plan. unifi Basic is available exclusively online at unifi.com.my/unifi-basic and will be available starting 15 August 2018. Preorders open from 15 July 2018. Another affordable broadband offering already available today is unifi Wireless broadband at RM79 per month, for customers looking for a hassle-free home broadband.

agreed. just a TM trick to maintain the revenue and keep sucking our blood.

most customers not gonna usage that much of bandwidth, its better lower the broadband plan pricing, let customers pick which plan suit for them.

just downgrade to the lowest plan RM129 for 100Mbps apa susah. it's even cheaper than TIME RM149 for 100Mbps

do you get what i mean? you still have to pay rm100 above for internet, can we see rm50 for 5mbps or 10mbps? i think its fair right? well.. enjoy your FREE SPEED UPGRADE.  smile.gif

There is a 'minimum cost to serve' and ensuring decent return on investment. It's wrong to assume that speed/bandwidth should scale linearly with prices. Did you see Singapore or even TIME offering much lower broadband packages for slower speed?

Like it or not, major cost items for a fixed network is FIXED. The cost to build a line to your house won't magically reduced by 50% just because you are using a lower speed.

RM199 previously

+RM20/month to upgrade from 30Mbps to 50Mbps + Ultimate Pack.

but now there is a promo of RM139 for 30Mbps. maybe that's why the upgrade option dissappear

Guys,

My uncle is currrently paying rm179 for 10mbps plan with Aneka pack with no free calls. Both my single and Aunty are elderly and they are not well versed with broadband current plans and pricing.

Their current btu, router and dect phone is old and faulty as the phone line gets disconnected often while talking and internet buffers eventough Tm claim they have upgrade them to 30mbps as I believe their equipment is 5-6 years old and perhaps can’t support the bandwidth.

Can anyone please advise what’s the current Best 30mbps package plan pricing they got as I plan to take them to Tm point to highlight this and in worst case terminate and reapply new account as they are contract free.
*
If qualified for B40, apply for Basic Plan 30Mbps @ RM79 but with 60GB data quota.

If not, next cheapest is to subscribe Lite Plan - 10Mbps (upgrade to 100Mbps in 2019 if infra can support) for RM129.

Anyway, I suspect your uncle house is in an old condo/apartment? Seems like might not be able to upgrade to faster speed due to old copper-line.
