Latency is good. 👍

And u get full speed.

Indeed the money spent worthwhile.

i read the faq last time, yes, technically u can do the downgrade of plan immediately after 6 months, so one can take advantage of the 6 months discounted price then immediately after the end of it downgrade to save the monthly fee.

My internet is down now! 😡

Still down as of now. Looks like no sign that it can be restored anytime soon.

Restored at 6:26pm. 😅

No use, the place I stay, both 4G and 5G coverage are poor. So backup on this is not useful at all.

Dun know. No update given from them.

I contacted CS live chat to report the problem. The CS said they will sms me when there is update to the outage. But in the end also nothing. I only know the service is up by the messages from my apple homekit and my Linksys routers.

Totally no idea what happened that caused the service to be down and how it was fixed.

I came from Unifi previously.

I am forced to use time bb due to no Unifi at the apartment I stay.

My experience can confirm that time bb has no significant benefits over Unifi expect that for lower speed plan e.g. 500Mbps plan and below, it has higher upload speed but to most users this is not something crucial since most do not need that kind of upload speed unless one is content creator.

And in terms of speed and latency, time bb to me has no advantage also.

In fact during peak hours, I cannot attain full speed of my 600Mbps at all, I believe it is due to shared bandwidth for all users staying in the same apartment. But Unifi I have no issue, I can attain full speed with low latency all the time.

And now Unifi has retention plan for users who have no contract which they can get 500Mbps at rm99 price per month which is absolutely better deal than time bb now.

So conclusion, time bb really has no advantage over other isps now.

Very poor and very inconsistent speed nowadays.
600Mbps plan here.

Speed test done at 12pm on a Sunday

certainly not, my equipment can hit 600Mbps no issue for sure. It is the inconsistent speed by time at my apartment.

i am testing in front of the main wifi router, previously i can get full speed, and now sometimes i can get full speed but not all the time.

suspect it is the bandwidth that is shared by too many residents during peak hours, so cannot hit the max speed.

wifi 5 has much higher bandwidth, and i dun believe, it is due to the wifi router issue as i can hit the max speed with no prob with the wifi 5 mesh router (tri-band) somemore.

now celcom also offers fibre broadband using time broadband's infra? becos i can see that the apartment i am staying is under the coverage now... and also saw celcom offers promo package to another apartment (collected keys last year) very attractive package for new sign up also.

cannot wait to downgrade...

I see I think I better stick to time then. Anyway celcom has no good offer comparing to time 200Mbps.

Would like to know also….

There will be lease duration from the dhcp ip u get from isp for the public holiday.

It depends if the lease is renewed.

one can downgrade after 6th month of the contract.

ur contract will be renewed to 24 months (reset). u just pay monthly accordingly to ur monthly subscription for 24 months again.

and ur contract termination tnc will follow the new one - anytime u terminate u pay the remaining months of subscriptions in FULL - technically as good as no termination.

Can downgrade but need to live chat with cs or call them u guess.

Their downgrade button appearance is not consistent I would say.

just want to switch to rm99 200Mbps no contract plan. Currently paying rm139 is a too expensive for an internet connection.

Indeed very cheap.

Last time I used StarHub 1Gbps plan also symmetric speed. That time sgd39.90 with one year contract. After that, switch to m1 500Mbps plan for sgd29.90. Now 2Gbps is already at this price. 🤪 lucky for anyone to stay in lion city.

But I would say that my experience with 1Gbps vs now at 600Mbps not much difference at all.

Would rather change to 200Mbps by paying the cheapest price at rm99 only soon in another less than 6 months time.

To be fair, the excess bandwidth to anyone likely not going to make any difference unless one really download stuff 24x7 but even 200Mbps speed is decent speed for most especially if the household only has 1 to 2 ppl.
