these 2 days i kept on encountering slow loading or loading freeze completely prob for youtube and yahoo mail...

why is it so???

ever since the free upgrade, i can say that my personal experience is that the connection frustrates very often.

even my speedtest result is very inconsistent during the different timing.

bro, do share ur experience after ur contract is over.

i did call up time CS before, and I am on 600Mbps plan, they told me that after my contract expired, i can actually switch to rm99 200Mbps (no contract). not sure if it is true or not...

i personally do not want to continue to pay rm139 (before SST) for my internet service...

yes, i am on 600Mbps plan. I signed up time back in Dec 15 2023 when I first move in to my current rented apartment unit.

That time i opted for 500Mbps plan (which is now free upgraded to 600Mbps) becos it has 6 months special price of rm99 and free one month subscription due to online sign-up. and comparing to the 100Mbps plan (which is 200Mbps plan after the free upgrade), it gives 2 x wifi 6 mesh units. I was on unifi using my own wifi 5 mesh units on landed previously. So i tot the wifi 6 mesh should be good since they are newer and given I moved to apartment unit, the 2 x wifi 6 mesh should be decent to provide better coverage and speed comparing to my old wifi 5 mesh units.

but obviously my expectation was wrong which the 2 x wifi 6 mesh given by them did not perform as my expectation. The latency is high which is bad for my mobile game play and coverage is also nothing better than my wifi 5 mesh. maybe becos the free wifi 6 units are all dual-band units while my wifi 5 mesh are all tri-band which make the difference.

so once my contract ends on 15 dec 2025 i want to switch to a cheaper plan instead.

fibre-to-the-home is an optional service. yes, it will help a lot in terms of latency.. since it is fibre backhaul between the units. so latency is certainly the best and speed as well.

but sad to say, not all area is covered by FTTH, even ur apartment/condo has time coverage does not mean you can add to the FTTH service.

i think any popular brand even the cheap one like tp-link any model can beat the free one given by time....

if u are using the plan all the time, and unlikely u move house or to terminate it earlier than contract end date, no harm to take it to save cost.

i also want to switch to the 200Mbps to save my monthly fibre broadband cost. rm104.94 and 200Mbps is more than sufficient.

but i dun want to renew contract becos i am renting apartment, so better to keep contract free. i still have 9 more months to go to complete my contract.

now renew contract or sign up new line, the termination fee is no longer rm500 also, it will be remaining months x monthly subscription to pay. same as unifi etc. like that one might as well not cancelling since no difference.

but nowadays who still use fixed line seriously? somemore time voice does not give any free calls...
one can easily use his unlimited voice calls from his mobile to call rite?

anyone, one can still connect physical dect phone to the modem router to use the fixed line.

if that's the case, it makes sense then.

but land line can also do call forwarding i think.

but think majority of us here do not do business i guess. so too bad for the minority for it to be gone.

just got the confirmation from live chat that i can downgrade after my contract ends without contract reset.

this is what exactly i want to do after my contract ends on 15 dec 2025.

good enough seriously...

it is still overkilled. not to mention that time broadband has equal upload speed for 200Mbps plan...

i could not wait to downgrade to save cost...

I use my own mesh wifi router, 2 x Linksys mr8300 wifi 5 mesh.

time provides dect phone one meh?

1) if u terminate it early now, u still need to pay the full remaining months of subscription until ur contract. It is as good as not terminating.

2) if u sign up time 200Mbps rm99/month (no contract), u need to pay RM400 one-time charge for installation and activation applies.

icic... nice.. interesting to know this...

Never hear of such thing nowadays.

Cannot set as bridge mode meh?
