QUOTE(tng55 @ Mar 9 2022, 01:04 AM) so astro will have their own VLAN ID mean ASTRO IPTV Will multicast Like time fiber was ASTRO IPTV Multicast and maxis fiber also astro multicast not internet iptv Astro has stopped offering IPTV Multicast to customers since late last year. For those who already been using IPTV Multicast (either through TIME Fibre or Maxis Fibre) will continue to be able to use as usual, but Astro will encourage you to upgrade to Ulti/Ultra Box under Plug and Play (also known as Unicast, that doesn't uses dedicated VLAN ID). For Plug and Play one, just connect the box to the internet (WiFi or LAN also can), then you can stream the channels already, similar to Unifi Plus Box. LAN cable are not compulsory unlike Astro IPTV (that uses Multicast VLAN).

Astro Fibre uses their own VLAN ID, and it doesn't use Maxis VLAN IDs like Astro & Broadband. How to check what international links they use though?
