Ok guys I might have been over-reacting abit ytd because I was fking pissed.. so after some deep meditation and getting a call from the Maxis tech guy today...
-Speed inconsistency is due to tower servers or smth reaching a max capacity especially during MCO, so they need to limit bandwidth for everyone to use or others wont able to even connect (TBH sounds like a YP not MP, but I live in high density low-mid class apartment which means most people are using phone line for internet connection so yeah)
-Regarding torrents or "downloads", after some "off the record discussion" with the tech guy, although they dint limit speed or block anything, something about MCMC being in the bigger picture so yeah go figure
Guess Ill just have to live with that or work harder and move to a place with Unifi. (PS: Yeah in case ur wondering, basically TM gave us the middle finger by installing Unifi around, yes... literally around my apartment, which means the whole district has Unifi except my apartment lol)
Btw, yes yes... I could have gotten a VPN or seedbox or similar ways for torrenting... but me coming from a poor background "insert sob tv3 kasih sayang story", growing up we learned to "explore" ways getting stuff done for free or to wait until something can be done for free. Obviously not the case now but you get what Im saying...

Somehow I'm not surprised haha...but I think you're doing it backwards bro..I'm maintaining my Streamyx for gaming while getting 4g for my kids and wife to stream.
Gaming is latency sensitive and a fixed line is better at that. Streaming/downloading needs more bandwidth and ideally a 4g connection will be better at this. I don't even consider torrenting with malaysian isp, I use a seedbox for it much less hassle.
Hmm I dint thought about that before.. Thanks for the idea of switching mate! Ive been torrenting with streamyx and unifi before no issues, so I thought this should work as expected... dint know what I was walking into till now...

Depends on your location though.
I'm in Kuching.
As for speed, in the day I could get till 80Mbps and at night I could get 70Mbps.
Eerie yearly morning like 2 A.M, i can get 100 Mbps.
As for torrent; it's like DiGi i150. You need to use VPN.
I use the jerung one.
Bought in Shopee for RM2.50 only.
Hahahahahaha!
Amazing speed mate! I always thought 4G meant the fastest speed, dint know 4G by area gave different speeds as well. Interesting... might check out the "jerung"

thanks for saving humanity
did u use the sim in your phone? same phone as your maxis 128?
Yep... same results as my router... the tech guy suggested this as well, his verdict was to get my sim card changed. My brand new sim card from 3 days ago. Changed. Im trying to process that in my brain and it just resetted itself lol. Anyways since Im lazy AF and with all this covid thing going on, I might just live with it for now. Surprisingly my Maxis 128 data has more consistent connection, albeit slower, but the key is
CONSISTENCY
