Dear all, the story goes like this:

I've been noticing my home fibre connection having issue for the past few weeks, the ping always spike to 300-400ms every after few seconds, constant packet loss, and highly inconsistent internet connection speed. My current package is 300mbps package, download speed reaching below 100 mbps, as for the upload speed is even more ridiculous, under 10mbps, which suppose to be above 50mbps. I've already lodged a few complaints to Maxis for the past few weeks, they had came to my place and replaced a new router for me, but the problem still persists and they are still investigating the problem, which is absolutely frustrating because I've been using deteriorated connectivity for the past 3 weeks! I unable to play games, stream Youtube smoothly and etc yet I still have to pay full amount of bill.

Now suddenly I realized few weeks ago I received multiple phone call claimed they are calling from TM and would like to check if I am interested in porting out from my current Maxis Fibre plan to UniFi, since I'm still being bounded by Maxis Fibre contract, I rejected the offer without any further enquires. Few days after the phone call, I started having this slow connectivity issue, which makes me wonder if it is possible TM is sabotaging my line? Since to my knowledge Maxis is using the TM's fibre infrastructure.

Maxis also been very slow to resolve my issue, always telling me they are still investigating the issue, I've had enough with them and decided to lodge a complain to MCMC, anyone have any idea how can I do that?

Have you tried doing ping & Speedtest directly using LAN instead of WiFi ?
Other than that have you tried switching default ISP DNS to Google DNS ?

I tried to ping and do the speedtest using both cable and WiFi, both having the same result.
Furthermore, my PS4 is connected to my Router via Ethernet Cable, I've been consistently getting packet loss from all the multiplayer games, god damn frustrating  mad.gif  vmad.gif

I see, since you mentioned that Maxis has replaced the router so not a big issue with router.
Just curious are you staying high rise or landed

I'm staying highrise, highly likely the issue is caused by congested bandwidth from their part, I noticed the slow connectivity issue is more prominent during peak hour.

Actually if high rise building got many factors require to concern, sometimes it’s due to building cable having some issue which cause that perks.
If your building is too old sometimes might face this kind of issue which really required good management to upgrade their network cable.

But I thought the responsibility of maintaining network cable should lies on network provider instead of condo/apartment management right?

I think should be both parties JMB & Telco.
Cause previously my office high rise building, I wanted to subscribe to Maxis since I’m using corporate account with Maxis. But the funny part is Maxis & Management seems cannot communicate well or maybe internal politics which required me to pay extra to pull new cable until office unit which cost few k, in the end I just opt for Unifi so straight forward without hassle.
From the POV, TM & Maxis is using same infrastructure but management seems not giving accessibility to maxis 😂

Glad you solved your problem bro, I think ping spikes is normal when you are using 2.4ghz connection, connect to your 5ghz wifi or if possible try to use lan cable for best connectivity.
I see, I think most probably TM also doing something behind the scene. But I have to say, from my experience, UniFi have much better network stability and consistency compare to Maxis. If I have to choose again, I will opted out Maxis Fibre, But TIME fibre still the best.

Maybe u can ask see your neighbour do they face this kind of issue, if yes then most probably is network infrastructure problem which more people do the complaint action will be taken faster
