CAT5e only 1Gbps max
CAT6 and CAT7 got higher bandwidth and supported up to 10Gbps.

Am surprised you did not realize that there is an extensive guide written on 1st page, 1st post, green text, as you often come to this thread sweat.gif

i did read that, good job.


i was only concerned about modem-router cable, not about routers or other things which i already know.

from what u said, cat5e is OK for 800mbps - that's all i wanna know.


anyone who disagree, something to add? please comment!

Cool. But, no one will disagree, as CAT5e is definitely okay for 800Mbps, and the only advantage Cat 6 has over Cat 5e is higher bandwidth, and ability to reduce crosstalk, plus it is only a few dollars more, so no big cost.

see... i just checked my modem-router cable - it is cat5e supplied by unifi dunno when... maybe 8 years ago.

i am doing some shopping next few days, maybe get a cat6 if necessary and doesn't cost me much.

that cable and the hyppbox-router cable are cat5e... all others i already changed to cat6.

don't really feel like spending more money if 800mbps will come in 6-12 months time.

maybe better go cheap downgrade now, save 2 years money, see what happens then.

that's the reason i asked that question, want confirmation.

Rm129 for 100Mbps?? i had been a Streamyx User for a decade so i went to TM Point request for an upgrade and they said Unifi is not available in my area. It's fine since it cost alot to extend to my area but... I am using 4Mbps for RM 140?? That's not fair!! So Unifi 30Mbps for RM79 Only while 4Mbps cost more?? I demand Fairness here!!!
Who and where to complain about this??
*
ya, this is shix for you...

rm140... others are getting at least 25 times your speed, some will get/already got 300-500mbps or 75-125 times.

nothing u can do except throw them out or try complaining to your MP and.or ADUN.

This incident just happened to my GF.. She is using 50mbps now paying 199 after contract. She went to tm point wanted to change to 129 100mbps. The ppl ask her not to change because after that won’t able to get any upgrade. Bla bla bla.. and then told her if wanna change can go online chat to change plan. .. Online chat will ask to go tm point to change plan. TM is so bullshit. Refusing ppl to change plan because it will lower their revenue. I think better switch to maxis!!! Damn TM.

this is pathetic.

very likely all the staff and contractors told to "do what u must to protect your jobs"!!

The price is adjusted for pro user that haven’t got turbo yet. I will not be happy if they charge full price of 189 since I didn’t get Turbo 800 yet.
*
is there official news on the price reduction?

i got my bill last week, same as before.
