You are on condo or landed FTTH or condo FTTH?did they give same router regardless of condo vs landed FTTH?

befure this, ur router old TM router is what model?

lol isnt that 1043 an old decent router?

if anything as long as it is not crap shit like DIR-615. I think it is a huge upgrade for us. 615 wouldnt even able to maintain 5mbps wifi without disconnect. because of this I ended up buying Asus RT-N14UHP many years ago. I was wondering if anyone can tell how the 842 wifi range vs that 14UHP.

thats why I asked for range comparison. Not speed. I know AC is faster.

then this is going to be a problem. I even got dead spot with that 14UHP. Haha

I feels like we will not get anny anouncement by Sept 30. or even Oct 1st.

if no news I feel I will opt for RM129 package too.

10X upgrade was an atempt to comply the price/mbps probably set by gov. Instead of giving half the price, TM wanted to maintain APRU. They know that most people wont use that kind of speed, so they figure if they give 10x upgrade, their consumer will stfu and pay the same price.

but the situation in parliament change. Certain MP are questioning that decision, they wanted price cut, not 10x and they pressuring Gobind to look into it. Now because that change TM will have to swallow that 10x upgrade and also face potential price cut, thats double blow for them.

I think the recent 30mbps with quota + 100mbps package is a direct response for TM to fix their problem. The goal is to Lure the turbo user to tie them up with 2yrs contract. (so they wont switch package). When the gov finally force TM to price cut, these contract users will be excluded from the price cut. *smart plan there!

as for 30mbps with a quota? I personally think TM put that in place to scare you all to Sub 100mbps. If that 30mbps no quota, everyone will jump into that package. When all these is over, you will see TM remove that 30mbps quota to keep user from going Maxis. (IMO, they just wanna get as many user as they can to sign up 100mbps package with 2yrs contract instead of 30mbps package)

Besides I kinda wondered will the MSPA rebates still apply if user move to these newer 30mbps/100mbps package.

yup bandwidth is overskill already. I think the 10x upgrade is done by some market exec in upper level that with no idea how the network works. He probably see total average real bandwidth usage vs total infrastructure can support, then judge from there lol.

as for bundle content, perhaps TM should bundle with soemthing popular like netflix/sportify premium at lower price than netflix/sportify charging us individualy. For ex. Mass bundling with netflix should get us cheaper rates than we sub netflix individually. That'll add decent value added service into their broadband package. I'll definately buy into that.

they have till next week I will jump to 129 package.

if you count from now to june 2019, thats 8 months milking, even the smallest package like RM159 (30mbps RM139 + STD20). It is still RM240 difference enough to get a new router haha

Roflmao, he is trying hard to stir something in this unifi thread when people here are talking about Unifi stuff.

first he quoted the wrong person, then mistaken linux torrent is pirated. LOL

this.

the one given by TM?

whats the worst speed assuming u get the worst signal from furtherst away you can get from router?

yup STD 20 @ 30mbps RM139 package makes it RM159.

if TM able to give us RM139 with STD20 I wont even bother to downgrade.

RM129 is still the best deal now for those needed STD20.

framentation can be an issue, some many may not have enough user to sub unifi to use up all the ports?

are you on a contract?

The turbo upgrade is in phases, they didnt promise you what date you will be receiving.

if you dont like their service you can terminate it.

no point about value if you cannot use it fully.

Some of us (me @ RM139 + STD 20 = RM159) on that package even switch it to RM129 package.

I think if that 30mbps no quota I would switch it over too.

no such thing also.

you need to potong and reconnect as new customer. if your old one can support = no change lol

TM turbo too much, the phase is needed to smoothen out the increase spike network usage.

Everyone new on the fast internet speed will be "excited" first few months fully use the speed. After a while these hype die down, everyone will be back to typical usage again.


IMO, TM went wrong move by giving 10x. Should have turbo everyone 2x first, then 4x, 8x, 10x.

not really may be thats their plan to get everyone back to 100mbps.

the Turbo upgrade is an attempt to fullfill price/bandwidth set by gov. By giving its customer 10x speed, far more than we would use(because they know 90% wont use it). How often you use fully your bandwidth 24/7?
In doing this TM is hoping their customer will not ask for 25% or half the price discount. (thats worst than giving 10x speed)

as for 30mbps with 60gb quota in place is to force everyone sub 100mbps package.
