My experience with Maxis Home Fiber with custom GPON ONU SFP Stick.

First, I can override TM OLT bandwidth limit (Force 2.5G) and managed to reduce Bufferbloat that TM limit to make other ISP look worst... so I can do more fair testing...

Maxis did not filter or block any port! I managed to host own Mail Server (Incoming POP3, IMAP, SMTP) at home! also done little tutorial!

How to host own Mail Server:

Unlike TM, they filter and block many ports, I tried Incoming POP3 and connection never received, only outgoing.

Yes, TM kind worst for now, hosting mail server is not allowed, only simple stuff, that's why TM afraid to give symetrical speed, or at least 2:1 speed ratio, instead giving 5:1 speed ratio, upload always slow.

Under Unifi, yes, other ISP will using TM ONT,
Known VLAN Internet:
1. 621: Maxis
2. 622: ?-DiGi/Celcom
3. 623: ?-DiGi/Celcom
4. 624: Viewqwest

I using own GPON ONT SFP Stick like this, it attach directly to router:


TM can disable WebGUI after GPON Authenticated, I can override TM OMCI, and giving me full control and troubleshoot:




Custom ONT has OMCI CMD TOOL inside that you can fine tune and send fake reply to TM OLT

PLUS, you can use MTU 1500 on PPPoE! no need to clamp

Well, those port are required for IoT to send alarm, notice, etc.. without subscribing Cloud...

I tried on @unifibiz, still apply same as residential restriction, my customer very frustration and mad to TM since his system cannot connect oversea, I suggest him to rent VPS WireGuard until Unifi contract expired then change to TIME Business



yet we still using PPPoE instead of dot1X, Native Viewqwest just DHCP dot1x, when Viewqwest using Unifi, had to use PPPoE

Adding another overhead is very bad and wasting...

PPPoE such wasteful and ancient...
