I use 300mbps, house got 4 person use. Feel really no difference than 100mbps, watch video also no need buffer when 100mbps, only thing I feel is download, but then 100mbps also faste enough already, you can do other things while downloading.

i don't understand the obsession with high internet speeds. I am a power user and i only use basic 30 mbps service. Good enough to stream 4k youtube videos + multiple videos simultaneously. No problems whatsoever with multiple zoom meetings and videos running concurrently.

They key is your router. Invest in a quality router. If you router cost RM150, then expect poor performance but if  your router RM1000, then naturally the performance is better la.

Then you need to know how far you are from your router if you use Wifi. Even 10m away from router starts to be too far and you get some spinning wheels once you start to stream 4k videos.

ISP Free router is rubbish even in both wired and wifi mode. The  cheap processor inside was not designed to handle the high traffic and multiple users. You can keep that as a spare in case your main router fails.

You can try to connect a wired LAN connection to your router to see if you still have problems. If LAN is okay then problem is with Wifi not your internet service.

I care more about ping than internet speed

50mbps is enough for me to stream 4k while sharing with 3 others

Actually my problem is playing PS4 game using iPad in sharing screen apps. My family occupied the TV all the time during FMCO.

When I play game at iPad, it keep disconnect and lag like shit. My family and myself hardly download. My parent are watching Astro (no internet consumption) my brother they all only use Social media apps and sometime YouTube.

Upgraded to 100mbps thought enough for family of 5. My house only one laptop which for children study with teacher. The rest are Astro and sometime social media.

I believe I am the only one consume internet usage more than them.

Speedtest.net : It local/global test server. From here you can test against another provider as well. maxis, tm, u mobile and etc. even global network too.

fast.com : its Netflix backbone network to support Malaysia/Worldwide. What i know their server located at Penang and Kuala Lumpur for Malaysia. If living in another countries or connected via VPN, it'll select nearby netflix server.

If you really want something closed to your actual speed. I recommended using https://www.nperf.com/en/ and select U mobile. Since this company has 10Gb/s dedicated network for testing.


I'm on 800Mbps with more than 14 devices connected during testing.

i am using B618 with unifi air sim card currently

at my place, the speed is kinda piss poor with slow latency & upload speed.

am considering to apply unifi 30mbps because that's my max budget...

go straight to 1Gbps if you can afford it. I'm on 500mb, best. watch 4k netflix almost instant. 3-4 PC on zoom call + watch netflix also no problem

i start using unifi from 5mbps era then keep upgrade speed until now at 800mbps.

after 100 mbps there's difference in download speed but doesn't impact my usual usage experience. if people steal my wifi i don't think i will realise.

nowadays i'm more focused on latency (ping, jitter) as this is essential to online meeting experience
