Actually i think nope.
TM might given more than 2gbps bandwidth to ensure the line can hit 2gbps.
Like current plan,will given additional about 5% bandwidth.

The reason single test 90% might due to Ethernet transport overhead.

98% no, As TM giving Wifi BTU router mean It is the one that dial with internet. So only 1 IP from what i guess.

Will the speed testfor my 2Gbps plan via WiFi be limited to 1Gbps also?

 Don’t worry, the speed test via WiFi will not have a limitation up to
1Gbps only.

So that mean connect to that wifi BTU router can hit more than 1gbps.

Can I use a third party router in conjunction with my Optical Network Router?
 We highly recommend that you use TM’s provided equipment only as the device has been configured to work with TM network environment.

Can I use my own equipment instead of using the Optical Network Router?
 We highly recommend that you use TM’s provided equipment only as the device has been configured to work with TM network environment.

I hope TM will give us the right to use our own equipment.

Just buy another Realtek 2.5G PCIe Ethernet Adapter card only cost less than RM50 only on taobao (without delivery fee)

Is that 2 account or 3 account combine?

No,TM not giving 2.5Gbps Lan Wifi BTU router. 1gbps and 2 gbps plan will give new wifi BTU router mesh set,so u might just leave your ASUS RT-AX3000 in storeroom.
And the subscription fee for 2gbps is too high ,only richman can afford.

U don't worry whole malaysia Unifi home internet overload right?

They does not care about that,they just want user to use new Wifi BTU router's multiple port in order to hit 1gbps or more.
(With this way the PPPoE is on that Wifi BTU router so with more than 1 port then the bandwidth can more than 1gbps without using port 1 only.)

I not sure this way can work or not,
I think it might be possible to use load balancing with 2 ethernet cable "bonding" to bridge another router as main PPPoE router.
Concept:
TM wifi BTU router(A) with bridge mode <2 ethernet cable > another router(B) support bonding and got 2.5G Lan port

And the router B can transmit 2gbps between router A and B, and with router B connect 2.5G Lan port to a PC,might be able to hit 2gbps speed.

If current 800mbps free upgrade to 2gbps plan,then RM159 per month for soonwai and some of us will really be happy.

I saw from China website wrote that some of their 1gbps port "ONU" does not set with bonding,but still work with bonding to hit more than 1gbps.(few years ago)
So this can work or not,i also dont know.

95% chance the pppoe still got. TM just dont really want people to replace it,as there will be alot of unnecessary issue may happens. They might still allow people to use custom device,as some people really have the needs. Even they said not allow,it will be multiple way to use custom device.
The new device actually will resolve alot of current given crap wifi router issue. So most people who having the new router will suddenly having less issue on their unifi usage.
(The new device just certified by Wi-Fi Alliance days ago - Date of Certification April 7, 2023)

And i can see near future TM will just give the new type of BTU to all new user or current user replacement device. old BTU might not be given few year later.

Me too, Just give free 1gbps plan upgrade ,and i am happy. Since i lazy to add another 2.5Gbps Switch, so 2gbps not really useful for me.

cheaper 2.5Gbps x5 unmanaged switch still need almost RM300.
2.5Gbps x8 + 10G x1 port unmanaged switch need about RM500. (Edited: just saw a cheap one only cost less than RM300 but no stock )

If give u 2gbps plan,are u going to upgrade device for 2gbps combine or just use 1gbps x2?

(My guess)the new onr just replace that the normal router,so the onr might just have 2 authentication,
1. fibre optic ploam number and modem information
2. pppoe authentication, so the pppoe id already set as 2gbps down and 1up
and so all 4 lan port on that each port can run 1gbps and total is 2gbps to internet,
and within the lan network,4port are in the same network,mean port 1 device and port 234 is accessible with each other.(as a switch)

I think it is because the cost for 2.5gbps ONR is higher,and also they might not really want people to push 2gbps at all. since 99% people does not have the ability to hit concurrent 2gbps for normal usage(except speedtest).Older PC not supported 2.5G port.
From what i saw from China website,it might cost few hundred per unit(decent quality),so maybe find a lower grade compatible ONR also not cheap.
China 2.5G ONR just get in market about 1-2years only.

And second TM find Dlink to produce this new ONR which maybe having a lower reasonable production cost to provide 1/2gbps service.

Edited:
And also TM give this new ONR,better than not giving a new one.
Since this one can support wifi,which mean you cant use more than 1gbps on LAN,but you can hit more than 1gbps if you have a good device that have better wifi receiver.

Just visit some SG forum discussion ,
unifi 2gbps should be similar to most singapore 2Gbps internet.
Some of them saying it is possible to combine 2x1gbps to 2gbps connection with specific way or method with keeping the onr,but still need additional device(router or something else)
Or change a new ONR that support 2.5G port or 10G port.
So i think unifi is also can work like this way.

Unifi 2gbps should be similar to type 1.

my guess: if anyone not really care about 2gbps download speed,but need 1gbps upload speed,u might still can utilize 1gbps upload with single lan port. (unless TM do something dirty on that ONR)

I more believe that if only run speedtest with 1client,then 940mbps up and down is possible.
And u can see the ip address is the same one,meaning high likely that is the same pppoe account.

so,now we just dont know tm got give abit additional bandwidth or not.
It might need 3 device to speedtest at the same time to verify. (Or 1 lan 1 wifi)

Basically most people will not longer need to use your current router anymore,unless your current router wifi coverage is better,then u might just use it as a AP.
And
I think most current consumer router's link aggregation might not work ,as it will need both side have the LACP functional to work.
