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.

fiber optic cable > terragraph

YTL using copper wired home via Terragraph and Gigawire technology to boost internet 150Mbps

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.
