Bufferfloat is one of many issue that is holding some people switching to Maxis, unless their taman infra is by Maxis. There ought to be another fibre infra provider, or maxis should invest more in providing infra rather than renting from the landlord ISP.
What TM Wholesale is implementing with this double level throttling method with other retail ISPS/RSPs other than their own Unifi is an act of UNEQUAL access and UNFAIR competition for being awarded by the government to be the nation's HSBB/national fiberization buildout initiative. A wholesale provider CANNOT favor its own in-house retail ISP over other players because EVERYONE pays the same rate for wholesale port pricing.If this is allowed then the Malaysian government MUST pull back this award from them and ALLOW a 2nd fixed fibre infrastructure provider to access areas which they already cover to provide equal access opportunity for other ISPs gain fair grounds.

Well you cannot do that anymore starting March or April this year. At least that is what I get to know for TM's line. You need to register with new provider and submit transfer ID to existing provider. The existing provider will then terminate your line when new provider come to install. However if your new provider do not come on time to install, you risk having no internet if your current provider terminate the connection before new provider complete their installation. This is what happen switching between UniFi to Maxis and vice versa. Don't know how it goes for Allo and the rest.
So it means that only 1 ISP is allowed by DEFAULT per home address?This opens up further questioning about TM Wholesale's purpose of providing a 4-port fibre modem/BTU(ONT) to home customers with phone ports when you're now implicitly saying that only 1 ISP is allowed per home address.
Why the need to reserve Unifi subscription specifically for port 1 with no Bufferfloat restrictions but other ISPs are forced to use port 2 instead with ONT speed throttling? Why only Unifi gets to use the phone ports on the ONT while other ISPs need to provide their voice call service on their routers instead?
It seems like they want to give their own Unifi brand "Bumi" privileges while stiffling the competition by restricting other competing ISPS on their HSBB network with the BUFFERFLOAT double level throttling.
This is already a PROOF of ANTI-COMPETITION PRACTICE and UNEQUAL ACCESS for shared national fibre initiative. Only the previous BN government allowed such practices to take place. Surely other ISPs are now compiling reports and file COMPLAINTS against TM Wholesale to MCMC in the near future.
In the case of TNB Allo, by default they offer all home subscribers a 1-port MINI fibre modem(ONT) which provides NEUTRAL/EQUAL 1Gbps access to all partner ISPs without 2-level Bufferfloat throttling. Meaning the SINGLE port has FULL access to symmetrical 1Gbps speed to all ISPs and the subscriber is throttled only by the account they're assigned. Should the business customers need additional requests such as needing to have more than 1 ISP or wants to provide their own transceiver sticks for their own enterprise grade routers, it can be arranged.
For example today you are using Maxis 300Mbps account with their supplied router, tomorrow you decide switch to another ISP such as CityBB/DiGi with a 500Mbps account.All you need to do is swap the ISP supplied router and instantaneously attain 500Mbps speed increase with the neutral 1Gbps port provided by the wholesale fibre provider, Allo. No additional ONT profile updating is needed since by default, all provisioned ONTs to home address is not throttled.
