I would say it’s almost the same,
but there’s always a risk that some resellers are not
that active in pushing through your request.

Thus I vote for TM Point. Can get ur order number directly and easier to follow-up.

I’m more interested to know what will be the pricing for upcoming 300Mbps/500Mbps instead.

But I guess no news until all the Turbo hooha has been solved.

Don’t bother explaining to people blinded with rage.

:haha:

The less people with TM, the more exclusive support we shall be getting.

Inb4 ‘exclusive’ lah sangat.

Sure looks like it’s capable enough..



But there is also limited bandwidth for USB though..

yeah, and actual early birds paid RM199 for 5Mbps years back.
early birds paid RM149 for 10Mbps Unifi Lite.
early birds paid RM160 for 8Mbps Streamyx.

life's like that, nothing's fair.

but there's always a chance in the future.
maybe not now, but though TM's unfair pricing is known,
there's always promo/bonanza/etc. throughout the year.

not sure how it's going to be next year though,
but with Maxis coming into the game and probably TIME or other players
lurking around the corner, suck it up and wait for the tide to calm down a bit.

p/s : being blind as i said in the previous post is for those who
compared 100Mbps Post-Turbo@ RM129 vs. 100Mbps @ RM169~RM329 Pre-Turbo.

learn to read between the lines when you come across such promotional ads coming from resellers.

oops, sorry my bad - USB 3.0 theoretically can go up to 5Gbps.



in a simple way, it's like this:

1. USB (or any kind of connection) have certain limitations in terms of bandwidth, i.e. max. speed that the data transmission can pass through.

2. If you're trying to get Wifi speeds of up to 800Mbps but the USB (in this case not 3.0, it's USB 2.0) having 480Mbps will then limit your Wifi connection to the maximum of 480Mbps (as per its own transfer speed limitation).

and I apologize, USB 3.0 bandwidth/speed can go up to 5Gbps thus passing through 800Mbps won't have a problem.

Disclaimer: I hope that I am reading the right reference off the net on 5Gbps USB 3.0 bandwidth.

The contract side, yes - I also hate it.

If I'm not mistaken, TIME gives a much more fairer practice,
i.e. an option of either:

a) Having a contract of 2yrs with standard monthly payment

or

b) Having a 1yr contract but with a one-off registration payment of RM300 (?)

But with almost all telcos in Malaysia practicing the contract approach,
I'm not sure if any 1 telco would dare to drop contract-based plans.. or is there already one?

keyword.

as I already mentioned - unfortunately we live in Malaysia, the land of impossibilities.

unless this is tackled next by Gobind, there's nothing much we can do.

Rome is not built in one night, and this is why at least rejoice on the brighter side :

1. Speed is going up (albeit the uncertainty of when).

2. Price is (supposedly) coming down.

maybe next is the contract?

Some of my wishes would be:

a) Unbundled HyppTV
b) Provide different pricing for TM Router/own router (or maybe even GPON.. ha!)
c) Easier speed upgrade/downgrade option

But then again.. it's just wishful thinking and just wait and pray that the damned Turbo upgrade
eventually will come and it's stable.

Sorry sifu!

with TM, always start small, RM129 or RM139.

upgrade in the future if you want.

if you start big immediately, you'll realize that:

1. so many others with same speed but cheaper monthly payment.

2. want to downgrade in the future also susah like hell.

Read through 1st post.

urm.. wilson1stop don't you think you're missing something here?
(or is it me who's just assuming that VDSL2/SUBB may not even get any upgrade due to connection limitation?)

can VDSL2/SUBB get the 100Mbps @ RM129? I'm not so sure..

I'd propose LovelyPotato to go and get confirmation first via Live Chat @ Unifi before going to TM Point..
or even Twitter, just so that you save some hassle.

Means that you’re either VDSL2 or Streamyx category. 😆

1. Login to your Unifi Care Page.
What does it state there? 500Mbps? or 300Mbps?
(it should show 500Mbps since your last speed before turbo is 50Mbps anyway)

2. Use TM Speedtest.
http://speedtest.tm.com.my/tmspeedtest.html

Still having problems? Try reading 1st post.

If your speedtest is still not up to 500Mbps,
try reading the green text portion of 1st post.

Other hints:

1. Your cable might not be good enough.
- try troubleshooting via checking your network link (i.e. does Windows show your connectivity 1Gbps?)
- avoid long cable lengths.

2. Router might be lemon unit.
- try source for a different router and use that to benchmark.

3. Port need reset.
- If all your personal troubleshooting fails, it's time to call 100 or Live Chat.

I think with the rate of your pushy factor, your turbo will be done this weekend.

probably it's TM's own infra/system which couldn't support mass upgrade.
once upgrade everyone, what happens is:

1. 80% of their equipments got congested (whatever that means)

2. 99% of the customers would jam their Live Chat/100/TM Point complaining that speed not meeting expectation.

3. Half of the customers from (2) tested their speedtest via wifi. and then complain.

I saw this router via Instagram with #unifi search.
Recent addition to TM installation?
