From what I know, yes the main infrastructure is basically just TM and TIME, and also Allo being a new comer.
With that said each isp (TM, Maxis, TIME, Allo) have their own peering arrangements, hence how Maxis isn’t really affected by this despite mostly using TM infrastructure.

And well, something is up with TM’s peering that’s causing these high latency issues.

Technically Celcom and Maxis have their own infrastructure but at a really small scale. Celcom has their Celcom Timur Sabah thing and Maxis you can see rarely in some high rise.
But still, TM is the one with the largest coverage.

Well, your typical user won't know what all this peering/routing is or what happens behind the scenes, it's just a magical internet box.

Of course they'll blame on you and try to get you to get their mesh wifi (while giving a terrible router by default), upgrade to a higher speed plan and that kind of stuff, which makes them money.

(with that said I've seen a lot of Malaysian computer stores like to cheap out and give the cheapest N150 USB Wifi adapters with their pc just so that it has Wifi, barely)

Well, at least they can't silence or delete this thread.

Wonder what they'll say if you link them to this thread.

Huh, I'm suprised that that site isn't hosted locally

Anyways here's me on Maxis for comparison, Wifi.

Actually, a lot of CDN's have local servers now, Cloudflare and Akamai for example on MyIX.

The problem is TM Routing decides to NOT use it for whatever reason.

Last time I tested, unsure if they ever fixed it.
Try traceroute to Quad9 DNS (9.9.9.9 or dns.quad9.net)

On other ISP's it goes through pch.myix to our local server
On Unifi? Nope! We going to SG!

Found an old screenshot of mine comparing the 2

Something something edns subset client I can't remember but it's related to that

Either they're not admitting the issue or they don't use services that goes through these routes, which I doubt since almost everything goes through SG

Or they just simply don't know what we're talking about

Last hop aint looking great on Maxis either

I noticed some weirdness too
Maxis Fibre
With ipv6 disabled I get the expect 30 or so Mbps

With ipv6 enabled I get over 300Mbps into the 400 range

I guess there is some sort of CDN Acceleration between Maxis and Cloudflare?
only on ipv6?
Or did they forget to cap speeds for that?

Public IP yes, but need to request
as for (home) phone number transfer, not possible.

Yes but you will need a GOOD reason for why you need a public ip
and they WILL come ON SITE to verify your claims before giving you one

that's just a client, you still need a server to connect to

it is a legacy plan for those who were on it in the past

and once your contract for 100mbps ends you will be offered it
