Aiyah should mention earlier as I was searching for one and finally bought an AC1300 USB wifi dongle from Lazada 2 days back...good luck on your sale though!

Very hard to say. Aluminium is a cheaper material compared to copper. Therefore a lot of "china" product clad the aluminium with copper to reduce cost. Safety wise is a hazard as alumium melts easier than copper. Unfortunately the only way to tell this is to cut open the wires and do a burn test. Aluminium will just be like tin foil, once caught fire will wither and melt straight away.

American lan cable such as those commscope or german shneider is 100% copper.

Well, since i already bought 2 myself lets just hope it works and lasts.

Please google CCA lan cable. It will tell u more. It is cheap for a reason and maybe dangerous too. There are many inferior fake lan cables nowadays.

If use for ethernet cable should be ok i guess. Hopefully it delivers.

It think this is make sense since copper is so expensive and the cable is selling so cheap. Anyway i think transmit of data signal should be safe i guess.

Thanks bro

Yah but dont forget CCA cables are brittle. Bend extremely and it is likely the cable cannot be used anymore. If can use just use but dont expect it to last super long.

Change to a different router and see if it still does that. It is not the TP-Link C1200 is it?

No, still the base DIR-850L from back when I first subscribed.

Pending purchase and arrival of newer router.

Just wondering whether it's a modem issue, router issue or a local TIME broadband node issue.

Never had it reset so frequently before this.

Speedtests in the afternoon from 1 to 7 pm is generally the slowest as I only get max 500 Mbps. I guess this is the peak hours.

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.

You have to test with a different router, then you will know.

Is that so? Good thing I downgraded to 500/500 then. Getting my full package speed now.



Even over AV1200 powerline (so called 900+ Mbps link), I can still get 200Mbps from my PC.

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.

I'm using Asus RT-AC86U, should has no problem handling 500mbps. Anyway i'm now satisfied using Lan.

If you are still in contract, after the auto upgrade, you can login to selfcare portal & choose to downgrade to 100Mbps with contract reset.
If you are no longer in contract, your contract will not be reset & you are free to choose any downgrade package you like.

500Mbps will be still using TP-Link AC1200.

Thanks sifus for the answers, then I won’t downgrade for my better future HAHAHA cz its almost a year since the first time I have been in Malaysia, if free and not be reset I can downgrade cz I seldom being at Malaysia nowadays , hmm... #savingmoney

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

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

Somebody mentioned before for international gateway TM is still better than other local broadband providers.
