can streamyx stock wifi router be used for unifi since they are all pppoe?

Super low usage, even 5 to 10Mbps is actually enough.

Yeah. Very good plan to save cost since it is the most affordable plan in the market with symmetric download and upload speeds.

Everyone is switching to cheapest rm129 100Mbps plan and they earn a lot lesser comparing to last time rm329 for some water fishes. Of course they are making loss. No surprise.

Yeah, maxis is doing charity indeed, they really provide the most affordable fibre broadband in the market now. People should just take advantage of this cheap plan since the price is permanent. good thing also maxis allows existing customers to switch plans just need to sign 2 more years contract meaning no more water fishes will pay the legacy high price for the same plan anytime.

Most importantly 30Mbps is really more than enough to a lot of people especially for those who are price conscious.

What is the full name of your rm129 100Mbps plain in system now?

turbo deal rm30 discount of the package price for 24 months according to the system page.

rm99 permanet price even after 2 years? unlimited quota?

rm99 for 50Mbps not low enough?

all price without tax, no difference. comparing to the cheapest price plan in the market now (rm89 30Mbps unlimited quota plan), it is just rm10 more and speed is almost 2x more, which this is certinaly worth it. Some more it is unifi.

Ic. Then indeed Maxis 30Mbps is the cheapest and most value for money plan now.

Normal home users do not even need any higher speed.

No point paying for higher speed while 90% of time cannot utilise it fully.

Especially for unifi, staying at the cheapest plan at that time will guarantee low cost upgrade in future also.

Yeah. Correct. Just stick to the cheapest plan possible for internet services. 30Mbps is good enough for most users. Staying in cheapest possible plan always has the price advantage. One can always upgrade to higher speed plan in future if really needed.

Yes. Symmetric speed is good. This makes the maxis 30Mbps plan attractive, while it is cheap but it is all rounded even for anyone who needs to upload content as fast download unlike any higher plan get asymmetric speed.

To be fair, the older stock Tm router archer c5v2 works seamlessly and it is superb stable. I never need to restart the router unless config changed.

Indeed, if it is out of contract, certainly other better wifi router will be a better choice.

In fact, good performance tp-link is quite cheap actually.

lion dollars. yes.

only if u download huge files and constantly 24x7 then it makes a difference which most people won’t.

For 1Gps speed theoretically 125MB/s,

MP3 file — 3MB, less than 1 second
TV episode — 350MB, 3 seconds
720p High Definition TV episode — 950MB, 8 seconds
Blu-Ray Movie — 15GB, 2 minutes

500Mbps plan u need only double the time.

If one fully utilise the speed all the time, the thing u will spend will be storage instead. 😜

just tell them this rm99 50Mbps plan they will know rite? no need to explain further?

It is a good deal. better than maxis rm89 30Mbps plan even.

new equipment includes stb, wifi router and dect phone?
No need to return old equipment for this replacement rite?

D brand is the worst. Especially if u get the rubbin bin model. Known to have poor coverage and security flaws.

why not. certainly possible. becos 10mbps lite plan is supposed to get upgraded.

good for you to pay less than half of the price that most people are paying now to get 100Mbps speed.

exactly, most people will not need that kind of speed at all time. most of the time will be a spike of seconds or minutes they need depending on what they do.

even 1TB of data, given full speed of 800Mbps, just need 2 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds to download at full speed.

8TB of data needs only 1 day to download. 30 days one can download 240TB of data.

i think u are over-reacted. i am referring to most people and NOT ALL people.
For those that clearly aware of what they can do with the speed, that's good.
there is no point to even discuss on individual's need as it only affects one person. I am discussing about the needs for most majority of people.
seriously, i do not think anyone would be interested on your individual need here.

to most household, it is way more than enough, most people are doing streaming of videos or web browsing. the bandwidth currently at 100Mbps is more than sufficient.
dun forget the fact we are coming from 5Mbps, 10Mbps and 20Mbps that kind of speed to now which is few times more the speed. and this upgrade was only done these 1 to 2 years.

well said. latency and bandwidth are totally different things. low latency helps in online gaming etc. bandwidth one will need to use till 99.99% of the given bandwidth then will only notice the difference.

yes. correct. most of the contents for streaming are compressed over Internet even they are labelled as 4k.

even netflix has official recommendation for the bandwidth need for streaming. given that most people are in 100Mbps plan. it is certainly more than sufficient.



many have switched to 100Mbps due to the lower subscription becos if they cannot utilize the bandwidth, even the extra paid is not significant, they are wasting money still.
of course, for those who are lucky to get the cheaper price for faster speed like 500Mbps/800Mbps etc. that's good for them, but this is not applicable to all or even most people.

given TM pattern, good move is always to keep at the lower cost plan, becos they always like to counter offer new deal later while existing users who are paying higher price for the same or lower bandwidth will kena pwned.

yeah. correct. unless one is fully aware of what he needs the high speed for. the price paid for is certainly be able to justified for. but certainly not for most household.
majority of household are not even technical savvy enough to be aware of the difference even.
they know that they need to stream video, surf web etc.

telco like TM etc can give so high speed plan 'generously' now which is at least 20x speed than before, is also due to the fact that majority will not be utilizing even 10% of the bandwidth most of the time. if the entire nation is really utilizing 100% bandwidth at all time, do you know how much cost to the infra they need to setup in order to fully support it.

dun forget, there are still many many many household are stuck with streamyx becos of infra limitation and their maximum speed is 8Mbps for DL and 512kbps for UL.

a lot of people may think that 100Mbps or even 30Mbps if there are more people share among the house will not be enough,which this is not even the case.
a lot of business fibre plan has lower bandwidth than consumer fibre plan and it is shared by hundreds or thousands of people.
