I install together with Time fiber cable inside the cable trunking, there are several 90degree bends along the skirt of the wall, by the way i bought round type instead of flat type so i guess it is more durable.

I bought the flat type cox i want to go through beneath thw door.

Round one too thick might have problem to close door.

What speed u get with the cable btw

I'm on 500mbps plan and getting around 500+- for both download & upload speed. Wifi i hardly can get that speed eventhough i using TPlink WDN8280 AC3200 pcei wifi card (i'm using Asus pcei AC88 driver because they are using same chip).

Must be the router prob?

I use tplink touch p5 + archer T9E, no problem maxing 500mbps via wifi last time.

Any sifu here can advise how to lower the PING when use with PS4? notworthy.gif
I just installed TIME 100Mbps, to my surprise the PING when connected to US game server is way over 200ms. sad.gif Even PINg with ASIA region is around 200ms. My previous stimix is below 100ms for Asia region. How could TIME be worse than stimix? doh.gif

Remarks: The PING reading is shown in Ps4 game Plants vs Zombies:Garden Warfare 2

You cant do anything about it.

TIME does not have that many peering with international isp (except to india and then europe)

For low ping at US unifi still da best.

I realized that I need to re-boot my router everyday to achieve 900+ Mbps. If not, I will only achieve 300+ Mbps. After re-boot, I can achieve 900+ Mbps. I am using the AC5400X.

Through wifi or lan?

been discussed in detail over the past few pages - pls read regarding the limitations of wifi and routers etc.

All i see is 500mbps which is achievable.

Im wondering about 1gbps over wifi, even 800mbps is good enough.

Not many people have that kind of level of hardware for receiver and router but just wondering who has done it for TIME internet.

Pass few pages only talk about router not a good receiver side eg like the pce-ac88 combo with good router.

I finally downgraded from 1 Gbps to 500 Mbps. My reasons:

1. Most of the routers are not able to to achieve 1 Gbps. This includes the AC1200 and DIR882 provided by Time. Even the high end ones like AC5400X can only achieve 920+ Mbps.

2. The 1 Gbps speed is only for download and maximum upload is 500 Mbps.

3. My AC1200 can reach 500 Mbps download and upload on my current 500 Mbps plan. So I am getting what I am paying for.

4. Most new devices on WiFi can only achieve 200 to 400 Mbps max even if you are using the latest and greatest phone or laptop.

5. On 1 Gbps plan, my WiFi on my Note 9 can achieve 300 to 400 Mps max. Now, on my 500 Mbps plan, I am also getting the same speed and I am paying less.

I am aware that some people are able to achieve 1 Gbps download but I think this is just a minority and you need to upgrade your hardware (router).

Therefore my conclusion is that you don't get what you pay for in 1 Gbps.

500 Mbps is a better deal as you get what you pay for lesser price.

Something wrong with your setup.

My wifi on pc goes 9xxmbps via WIFI.

Note9 goes 650mbps ++ on 4 bar only.
