Hello all,

I am moving to a new condo unit in Sentul Area. So there are two fibre packages available with same speed and same price offered. Just wondering anyone used YTL broadband before?

Should I take TIME or YTL? Which has lower latency and such? Any comments or opinions are welcomed.

Thanks!


Edit:

Seems like YTL Broadband... so called bHome is only available for YTL properties from what I choose from its coverage in its main website.

Dear Bro


We are Time Fibre Distributor , can help you on registeration and arrangement for installation

YTL _ using wireless transmission that affect by weather .

Time Fibre - 100 percent fibre optic solution which provide best price in mb Malaysia and not affect by weather.

so winner is very clear ...........

take TIME, as fully fiber infra. NO copper wire

ofcauz time

Time is a no brainer choice, meaning if you dont have brains. I mentioned everywhere else why i use TM because for what i use TM for, TIME only gives me 1Mb/s and blames their routing. I dont want to call TIME everyday just to "Update routes" when really its just down to their traffic management and lack of international infra that TM is actively expending.

For 90% of your internet use, TIME is sufficient, for anything outside ASEAN, go with TM unifi, literally the only ISP in Malaysia that will give you good latency and bandwidth for traffic outside ASEAN. That means if you game on a US server or australia, TM is better, if you do file transfers, remote access and all that remote work stuff outside of ASEAN, TM is better. If you watch videos from some unknown site in some far away country, TM will load it faster while TIME will buffer loading a 512kb/s video.

I also used a very good and expensive router and regardless of my settings as best as they are still couldnt get more than 1Mb/s for TIME for international traffic, even for my game server on TIME players report lag and most of my players are outside.

People say maxis is bad, but really the reason is that maxis gives out a crappy router. Except with TM unifi you should get your own router, one that is really good to use with any ISP.

When i did load testing for streaming, i could only get up to 40% of subscribe bandwidth with TIME, with TM unifi i got up to 80%, and the test site even though further away used youtube and netflix streams, so i used a mixture of stream tests to max out the bandwidth when i was testing my router's QoS. The reason why i got 40% with TIME was because youtube has servers in singapore.

YES wimax rename as yes broadband, so YTL broadband is YTL fixed wireless terminal network using aging wimax tech ?

if you have TIME go for time. Yes is very slow and inconsistent. I am currently using celcom broadband. It lags between 10pm to 12am

I strongly believe that it's a "just you or building" problem. I'm currently on TM's 30Mbps plan and took my android box as is to a pal's place in PJ a few days ago to test.. Cuz he wants such a box and wanted to confirm it's all good. Guess what, his 100Mbps connection effortlessly handled all streams I threw at it including p2p and 4K content.. And I'm not talking just Netflix, but other funny sources.. It handled smooth and like a champ with zero buffering. Content that normally would buffer on my connection didn't on his. TIME is moving into my area soon. I and a substantial number of neighbors approached them to move in cuz TM simply refuses to come upgrade our infra.. We can only get max 30Mbps.. I'm eagerly awaiting TIME's arrival and will not hesitate to immediately switch.

Dear TS.. I'm assuming you speak of Saffron.. If yes, you should know that the residents there had to endure YES/YTL crap internet for years and fought for TIME to enter.. They wouldn't if it wasn't the best.. I vote TIME.. Easy.

But I thought YTL has just launched its own fiber broadband as well? Maybe the thread starter is asking about the YTL fiber broadband and not the wireless one.

Probably... Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who's using their new broadband.. As such can't speak for its comparisons.. Wish TS all the best..

If you read what i usually write, for 90% of internet use i would recommend TIME or maxis or any other provider for their better pricing. However my use falls into the small 10% which relies a lot on international traffic.

I did have TM Unifi at 30Mb/s and it worked really well, the issue you had is if you use VDSL because that is actually very limited by cable length and VDSL version.

wimax.... i think ph new gov will take down many sites, especially in school.
be prepared for service degrade.

TIME is the better choice

If you read what I wrote,.. You would also see that majority of my heavy traffic comes from international waters..aka funny sources (heavy media streaming and downloading). Almost all mainly off international servers. As I said before, I'm not disputing your experience. But based on my very recent experience and recommendations from others. Yours very much appears to be an isolated incident. I'd check with TIME and your building management for potential hardware issues.. If you've already done so and still bad. Accept my condolences.

when i say ASEAN i meant singapore. You may think that the majority of heavy traffic comes from international waters but singapore is where most of them are located and cached with some cached by ISPs and local malaysian datacenters.

So when people go to facebook, it actually goes to facebook's servers in singapore, same with youtube and many other streaming sides like twitch, netflix, same with so many websites that use a CDN and cloudfare as well. Most of the websites malaysians visit get cached and located near with only minimal traffic from outside.

I really know what im talking about as i actually do cloud and distributed processing for fun. Hence why i said about my experience because i use the internet for my work and my traffic cannot be cached.

Dude.. I'm familiar with all the above too..I'm no noob when it comes to IT and Networking.. I also telecommute with multiple servers across continents on almost daily basis.. Was in no way referring to big boy CDNs and I don't watch Asian content per se.. For instance, the funny premium iptv streams my friend's cousin's wife's brother uses.. I know for a fact are hosted in the USA, Canada and UK.. Netflix and Amazon? VPNs to connect.. Surely given the rise in blockahes, to easily bypass these guys and gain country specific libraries.. One has to connect to a fast server located physically in the location before masking is applied. Due to the illegality of the whole thing. I simply chose not to elaborate in detail as to what goes on.. Hoping that you were able to read between the lines.

Anyways, up to you.. As I said before.. Either yours or mine and others reported here are isolated incidents.. Either way, I be ditching TM once TIME moves in..

not isolated, i literally compared traffic from the same place. TM next building, unifi in the other building, both next to each other under the same developer. With TIME i get 100ms more overseas and a lot less bandwidth. Even to watch a 512kb/s video from far away it buffers and the reason is TIME's traffic management, unless you subscribe to one of TIME's business package (max of 100Mb/s) you will not get good international speeds, because 90% of content that malaysian's browse can be kept local or in singapore, even torrents if they use some sort of caching system. And ofcourse the daily calls to TIME to fix the issue.

I've had TM unifi at 3 places, all through fiber optics, 2 high rise, 1 house, all worked very well in 3 very different locations for my use. And while i hate that TM does not have symmetrical uploads it does deliver on advertised speeds even to far away places that it is the far away place's international traffic management that becomes an issue. With TIME its literally very slow, less than 1Mb/s per client which significantly affects ping and gaming performance too. And as i said i called TIME too many times.

Agree to disagree then.. No worries, hope to remember this thread in a couple months.. By then, will have latest and personal comparison from both ISPs in the same building... Doesn't get better than that.

Time > unifi > YTL

Hi Bro,
Can you also arrange Time fibre registration in Midfields 2 condo?
Thanks.

Second to that idea! It sucks to be bound to only use YTL and no other choices!

Hi, of course TIME is better in terms of quality and service.

You won't regret once you sign up TIME.
Better connection and stable as well.
Rarely will get disconnection.

Thanks.

Any actual test done on YES Broadband in terms of connection and stability?

Need to decide soon..

So did anyone got real life feedback on ytl fiber broadband?

https://www.ytlbroadband.my/product/bhome

Anyone looking to register for YTL broadband? I have an account and would like to transfer the ownership if possible.

Hey bro, I just wanted to find out your review of YTL broadband? Is it Fibre Optic by any chance on your location?

Why this is even a question

Being at a hotel that uses YTL in downtown KL, only YouTube streams well while other streaming content I tried seems throttled and keeps buffering every 30s.
Playing those same sources at home with a reputable ISP gives a perfect streaming experience.

Has anyone planning to transfer his ytlbroadband ownership? I’m looking for it 😁

checking in, in 2022. i'd say TIME.

checking in future 2023, still TIME for me.

YTL known to be treating their customers badly after unfair contract. Easy in and difficult to come out.
