Hi, what are they planning to do for those who live in areas or apartments that are not eligible for the Turbo upgrade?  Cause I'm still paying rm179 for 30mbps. > <

For those that are on 300mbps turbo, how much are you guys paying per month?
*
Sir, mind disclosing your call plan and tv plan? According to MCMC document, it's Rm139 for 300Mbps, tv and call plan not detailed in the document. There used to be somethg called rye +rm10 upgrade for unifi lite rm129 subscribers. They get 600min, 300M and ultimate tv pack in the end.

Thanks, I've actually went to TM point last month (I also had an online chat, emailed and got a call from them too).  Unfortunately, there's no 100mbps coverage for my building either.  Yes, I think we have TIME here but is it good?  Honestly, TM should've just reduced the price for those who are not eligible for the Turbo upgrade.

The guy in chat wasn't helpful at all, when I asked about him about the upgrade and coverage, all he did was copy and pasted info for me to read.  He also asked me to wait till next year to see if I'll get the upgrade.

Oh yeah, don't bother emailing TM.  Their site says they'll get back to you in a jiffy but I only received a reply from them two weeks later.

The forumers here would kill to have Time option. If u have Time option, dont waste your time here in this forum anymore, stop lurking, switch and get it done, never look back, that's it. Try to honeypot Time to subsidize your termination pelanlty if u havent finished 24 months.

Is Time good? Imo, it's a safe bet, the overall critical reception is great. Check out the dedicated Time thread.

Forsaking Firmware/webui limitations, between these 2 TM stock routers, TP-Link Archer c1200 v1 and DLink DIR-842, what do you guys recommend?

From paper, dir842 sounds superior to c1200.

1) stability
how long can stay alive, giving full bandwidth w/o rebooting or overheat?

2) wireless capability
Penetration, range, max transmission speed over both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band?

3) wired capability
Max speed?

4) known troubles of the 2 devices?

I learnt that TM version of Dir842 has no chance to flash regional f/w, had to stuck with @unifi suffix, whereas c1200 is flashable. However, dir842 has mumimo. Nevertheless, i cant benefit from mumimo. I only have 1 tvbox with 5GHz. Question
2) will be the main deciding factor for me.

Anyone here owns both? I alr have c1200.

Edit: ma speed 100M
Thanks solarmystic SilentVampire

my house using 850L 5G
on my note 9 in room which 1 wall penetrate with around 7~9meters only 1 bar signal
MSI GS65 with connection around 55~250Mbps

Office C1200 5G
on my note 9 penetrate 3shop wall with around 20meters far still received 1 bar signal
MSI GS65 getting 100Mbps~500Mbps, to be noted there at least 15~20 wifi device within office.

so c1200 surely better than 850L from my current experience.

Extra: with Archer T9UH i maintain full speed 867Mbps on my house Desktop connecting 850l even it shown 4Bar power on network setting.

I see, thanks. For TM variant, can one flash regional.firmware to remove @unifi suffix?
QUOTE(JohnLai @ Dec 18 2018, 04:07 PM)
Good luck on waiting  dry.gif  You know how Microsoft do things.
Wireless signal strength wise, C1200 is better (if you flash EU firmware, there is beamforming option available)
Router stability wise, 850L and 842 win.

I see, thanks. Wat abt 850L suffix?

I went to TM point and got my downgrade to the RM99 for 50 Mbps package. This does not include any free calls and comes with the set top box with no TV packages.

It is essentially an internet only package.

I had to argue like hell to get it. They feigned knowledge of its existence initially and made some calls to supposed "superiors" They wanted me to pay RM 129 for 50 Mbps which is silly when the 100 Mbps package costs the same.

While I kind of feel left out as I really wanted to be Turbo'd and didn't mind continuing to pay RM 179 for 500 Mbps if Turbo'd, I realise it's probably not going to happen as I am in an apartment. even though I did "Submit" for consideration under the Turbo status. I see from recent comments that some folk got Turbo'd pretty quickly after submitting but am unsure if it's because they are in landed property or apartments with fibre cabling already built in.

At least I get to save RM 80 a month.

Hopefully, TM is more transparent with what they are going to do moving forward as I could have saved the RM 80 per month for the last 4 months rather than just waiting to get Turbo'd which was never going to come anyway.

Thanks for all the helpful replies here.

Well done. Did they slip in 2year lock on you?

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Dec 18 2018, 04:29 PM)
Thx again. Dir842 h/w mismatch. Not a chance. Tm variant c2, retail c1. Even if u managed 2 pull up the f/w upgrade page, the flashing will still fail.

I use both. DIR-850L has much weaker Wifi range, hence their bad reputation. Therefore I use 2 of them to cover first floor. C1200 is only used as router, Wifi disabled. My C1200 is stable without any problem.

Eh?
You sure TM dir842 is C2?
It should be C1.

Anyway, if you have one, try firmware from https://eu.dlink.com/uk/en/products/dir-842...revc1#downloads

1. Free wireless router comes with free installation and warranty from us (2 years contract renewal)

2. Purchase your wireless router from us at RM188.68 only! (comes with free installation and warranty)

which option is better? TM offer 188.68 wireless router good enough?

Come on. Dont be brainwashed by TM. Think out of the box. Break out from that mantra. Get own router of coz. That con artist TM act as if they are God, refuse to give customers choice.

Hi guys, have a question, im moving to a new place today and the technician is coming over after lunch. The front desk guy ask me to bring the unifi devices to the new place but i can't seem to remove the black wore connecting the black device to the fiber port. Any advice on how best to remove it?
*
U let the side with "unifi" wording and logo fscing the ground. Bottom got a piece of plastic cover, remove it and ull see fiber trailing all the way to connecting port. There u go, fiber cable is DETACHABLE, not unibody.

Heck, most likely they will give new BTU upon relocation installation.

It seems like TM is shortchanging us with this 800mbps Turbo upgrade. This is bullshit if we are only getting this 800mbps turbo speed ONLY with TM server but limited to 500+mbps elsewhere. Anyone managed to hit 800+mbps with non-TM server speedtests?
*
Well, for higher speed, TM has to pay more to foreign ISP for more bandwidth. However, your combined usage, say u dowload from multiple sites, can still add up to 800M, i guess?

anyone here got upgraded from VIP10 to unifi 100Mbps (Turbo Upgrade 2018) ?

i got conflicted answers from unifi regarding billing and plan. during VIP10 - paying about RM160. when i asked a rep a few weeks ago, the price will not change even after upgrade. but today, a rep told me that they will prorate from when the upgrade kicked in, so that the coming months' bill will be RM129. coincidentally, another rep called and kept pushing to change plan to unifi lite 100Mbps but why?...

currently this is what in the dashboard:

Im having the same plan as you, just got turboed. How did you get the offer of RM129 a month? Mine still RM149   sweat.gif

QUOTE(dragonteoh @ Dec 25 2018, 11:17 PM)
i'm RM149 , still under VIP 10 , not yet turbo , the unifi page mention eligible, and expected to be turbo Oct-Dec 2018...but now still nothing....
By the way, i did live chat with CS last month, after turbo , all thing remain same as VIP 10 , just that the speed upgrade from 10 to 100mbps only.

That mean, bill still RM149 , basic hypptv plan, call land line foc , call mobile RM0.20 / min, equipment old.
if like that i better cut off the existing line, re-apply 100mbps , beside monthly fee RM129 , new equipment, 600 min foc call for land/mobile (only bad thing is hypptv device no longer works for new package unless subscribe ultimate pack)
I do ask them what about downgrade to the RM129 plan ? they say can, but need to tie 2 year contract, everything follow the RM129 package EXCEPT , equipment still using the old one , Hypptv device can continue use.....
Still....i think cut off and re-apply is more worth.

Meh upgrade path timeline:
Vip 10@rm149@back in September>>unifi lite@rm129@October>>turbo upgrade on October>>November: add std 20 andrefund for calls made.

Ma deal atm: unifi 100Mbps (turbo upgrade 2018) with 100M&rm30 tv(can watch via stb)&600 min free call at no contract refresh.

If I play by their rules, script and game, ma fate would be either
a) being a waterfish pay rm149 all the while, get 100M Jan 2019, basic tv, no 600 min free call
b) handcuffed for another 2 years, pay RM129 monthly, pay 1 time stamp fee circa RM10 (no, i need not pay for that)

My advise is, forge your own path, destiny and fate. Take back the control. Look at Ozzy Man Reviews GTA for inspiration. *not sure if u guys remember Mr Mike, if subscribers especially streamyx ones have 1-tenth of his tenacity, ferocity and intensity, things would have been a lot different.

I've checked my prev bills, like this :-
unifi lite 100mbps - RM 129 discount RM10 = RM 119
unifi TV  - RM 30.
So total RM 149.
Before turbo'ed, its like this :-
unifi VIP10 - RM 199 disc RM 50 = RM 149.

Anyway I'm asking because maybe somebody encounter this before or understand more compare to me on what is TM is doing..

Yes ..it's come with 600min free talk and it was a VIP5 and upgraded to 10mbps few yrs ago...
U also in the same boat ??

Cmon, vip plans never had free calls to mobiles, only had unlimited free landline2landline calls. Atm, i suspect they took away your free landline2landline calls too, which happened to me few months ago. That's the reason why i refuse to pay a single cent for calls under 600 minutes, as u can see in my earlier posts. Let me ask you this, since the introduction of bonanza 30M@rm139, how long and how much have u been overpaying? If u have maxis and need not that much bandwidth, str8away go to 30M@rm89 or rm99 with unlimited calls. Pm me for more info.

Regarding the STD20, ive no idea why they cant include for us who pay RM100 and above. Those who pay 99 and below(89,88 etc), who used to be on streamyx promotion or unifi lite student package pay lower and lesser, get std20 600min free call.

Guys, need some understanding...

I have surface pro 5 and my router is AC1200 by TM with 2 antennas not 3. I have been upgraded to 500mbps, but I don't seems to be able to get the speed promised. The problem arise from my tablet or the router itself?
*
Info incomplete for diagnosistic. Hw much speed u r getting? Screenshot of speedtest? ONT model? I suspect router, i guess it is tplink c5 by TM? By the way, AC1200 is not the name of the router. it's somewhat like router grade construed by professional body or standard? I duno, haha.

If u r talking about 500M? Any router with AC1750 and below, u can forget about all of them...
