Hi All,
I am currently Maxis Fibre user (30mbps Astro IPTV Package). Usually on average I get 25-28 mbps, which is fine for me.
Since the Covid and WFH started, there's like 4 family members using the internet at same time (Netflix, VPN Office, TikTok, YouTube, IG, VideoCall) I'm thinking to upgrade to 100mbps with another 24m contract under Astro IPTV latest promo.
Just want to know if any of you actually get the 100mbps or more (300/500mbps) based on your subscribed package??
My location is in Dutamas, KL. Landed house. The difference is RM40 between a 30 and 100mbps package. So it really boils down wether I actually going to get that extra speed and can I reduce the no. of complaints "why the internet so slow".
Thanks guys.

They intentionally cap your fibre modem to EXACTLY your subscribed plan 30M/100M.
In realtime, the packets that your line carry to transfer data has headers/tails which provide information such as destination address, type as such. This will eat up some 20% of your speed slowing down your plan lower than the speed you subscribed.
Honest ISPs will increase your fibre modem(ONT) cap speed to something higher like 40M/40M for your 30M plan or 120M for your 100M plan to compensate for this extra packet headers giving the full speed you subscribe.
30M and 100M is peanuts to FTTH when its true potential is 2.4Gbps for GPON standard.
Unfairly, TM does caps their Unifi subscribers higher to provide advertised speeds but cap exactly to lower your Maxis/Astro Broadband line speed. They purposely keep quiet about this to leave other ISPs at disadvantage which is an unfair practice.
