I wonder how many people actually use up more than 100 or 500mbps bandwidth at home.. (not counting those hardcore downloaders or 4k streamers.. )

It's like paying for buffet but only eating one plate, right?

Thats why must upgrade the router to assure we fully utilize the speed else no point of upgrading.. Especially most of my devices are running wifi...

Try ask around in your condo to transfer ownership/ continue pay for you and they can use it without contract biggrin.gif

Decided to downgrade my 1Gbps plan (previously 300Mbps) down to 500Mbps plan last night (was processed and approved this morning). Decided that only my Android TV box and NAS ever gets connected to the router via Ethernet, and they don't need the Gigabit connection. The rest of my devices (iPhone X, iPads, 2017 Macbook Pro, and Gaming PC) all connect via 5GHz WiFi (over Netgear Nighthawk X8 and Ubiquiti Unifi AC-LR Access Point). No matter how much I tweaked, I couldn't for the life of me get sustained >600Mbps speed, even with top of the line wireless equipment and client devices.

It made me cry inside when I clicked the confirmation to downgrade, but it was the smart move. I was extremely excited to finally have Gigabit internet in Malaysia, but alas not many of us can truly benefit from the raw speed, not even with top-of-the line equipment.

Oh well, at least I pay RM60 less every month now, so that's a plus.

Which mean your contract will be renew as well ? Back to 24 months ?

Hi Guys, need opinion from you all ..

I'm thinking to downgrade my 1Gbps speed to 500Mbps ... due to I never really use LAN to connect to my laptop or any other devices.. which mean I won't able to enjoy the buffet that I paid and i only eat a small plate ..

Now paying RM189 for 1Gbps, for 500Mbps i could save RM50 per month ..

** Recently purchase Asus RT AC86U ... but my max only get 480Mbps (Wifi) .. which really make me sad..

Do you guys think I should downgrade?

Hi, how many devices are connected?

If heavy streaming, gaming and downloading.
And more devices use heavy then stick to 1Gbps.

You can get 480Mbps near the router or in the room?

It is the best choice to downgrade to 500Mbps but you won't be able to enjoy RM 189 after if I'm not mistaken.
None of the wireless devices can achieve 1Gbps as for now. ( Except LAN Cable connection ).

Thanks.
