Hi there,
Next year my new house in Sunway Iskandar will be ready and I plan to move there. But to my surprise there's no unifi, maxis or even time. From the agents at Sunway, it seems the fiber is laid by their own IT company Sunway Digital Wave and their package is RM99 for 100mb, contract 2 years. Not sure if price will change back to RM128 after that.
Anyone currently using their fiber residential internet service? Any comments? Personally I don't like this kind of arrangement. I think will have lots of traffic control especially p2p and gaming. But it seems we do not have a choice...

QUOTE(Candy12 @ Dec 15 2020, 09:29 PM) They're like reselling TM Unifi service with backup from ViewQwest. Here is their upstream bandwidth chart: 50% of their overall bandwidth comes from TM, another 49% from ViewQwest for IPv4. For IPv6, it's entirely using Hurricane Electric. Doubt they can provide public IPv4 to their home customers. Their IP blocks can only support like 2048 ip addresses. They want to follow the developer run ISP model like the company called Arteria Networks in Japan where they force all their projects to use their own company's run ISP bundling the fee into their monthly management fees. Wow very impressed! How you get all these information? According to their website they do provide dynamic ip to residential customer. Anyway I don't use ipv6 for now, future don't know. Do you know how is the performance? I had bad experience before with this kind of resell Internet bandwidth. Worse than maxis since Sunway won't have its own backbone. They are basically like your neighbour subletting the Internet access sharing the same subscribed bandwidth. Not to mention if there is any restrictions or in event of long turnover for downtime fix. |

QUOTE(Ckmwpy0370 @ Dec 16 2020, 07:57 PM) basically, sunway township are using their services to serve internet Ya I think you are right unfortunately. But it seems this fiber service is quite new. So maybe not so much complain yet. I will worry about it next year if I move in then. Sucks that when I asked them about internet, they said fiber will be provided but conveniently left out must use their service! |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Dec 17 2020, 12:26 AM) Had that in Sunway GEO, it’s surprisingly decent. Customer service is good since they are pretty small scale. You can get issues escalated to someone with good technical knowledge easily. However, the provided router is crap, make sure you buy your own. Thanks for feedback. Yeah no problem to get my own router. Can I check how's the performance in gaming or if they throttle p2p if you know. Planning to get AX20. |
