Yes, just as usual, gigabit port overhead so you can never reach true 1GBe
TM’s ONU control quite tight on which can connect to their OLT. Currently there’s a 2.5Gbps GPON VSOL ONU that is out but isn’t compatible.

Most GPON ONU that you can purchase easily from overseas only 1G with GPON, >2.5GBe is EPON/XPON which is not compatible with TM’s Wavelength

Currently only known way to get 2Gbps combined is ONU SFP.

TM Pelangi staff quite friendly, can go there and give it a try. Front counter first before actual counter inside

And not to mention semi decent AX hardware has been getting real affordable, getting a WiFi 5 device in 2023 just seems like an attempt at gaining a bit of profit or willingly giving money away

And can agree on 6e, just skip it and wait for 7

Changing to any premade ONU, no, most consumer ONU has serial/MAC that is not changeable. TM’s OLT is strict on what ONU they accept, so you need something that can spoof/disguise as your original ONR to report back to TM’s OLT as the original box they gave you.

GPON ONU SFP yes, you just need a router with SFP+ cage and 2.5G capability to get the full 2G in a single pipe.

Best option is buy a Mikrotik router from Shopee, buy the stick from Anime4000 and plug and play. Do note that you will need to setup your VoIP manually up if you need that, this can be done by putting your VoIP creds into IP phone/PABX if you have one, and bridge the VoIP VLAN to an Ethernet port.

So get your credentials from the ONR if you plan to move to this solution

Everyone here showing their speed, meanwhile my 1Gbps struggle to reach anywhere past 400-500mbps if I'm using anything other than Uni5G servers , on all other servers averaging only 400-600DL and 300-400UL




No time to do more diagnostics on the connection atm, suspecting bad routing with assigned IP, maybe only testing more during the weekends



Almost 1TB with only 2 weeks + of uptime

New IP swap after updating my OPNSense, much more stable now

Also just got new 10GBe hardware in, partially preparing for the 2Gbps upgrade


Overkill? Very much so but

EAP670, need to setup this switch for it. 2.5GB

2x units atm, 700Dl/350UL on IP15Pro , connected currently via 1GB to a cheapo China PoE 1G unmanaged switch, will try again when I have the 10GB switch up and running to see if I can hit higher speeds

TM 1Gbps getting also 150ms ish, probably just routing issue via TM in general

Not exactly sure what happened yesterday but it’s the first time that my 15 Pro was able to saturate the gigabit connection fully via WiFi 6 5GHz.. it never reached anything past 600-700mbps DL, this was also after the upgrade to a 2.5Gbps LAN connection

Huh? I’ve been on 1Gbps for a bit, can pull near 930+ even with my family using it. But never have I seen near 900+ on pure WiFi is what I mean
Interesting, what width are you running at? I’m a terrible neighbor and I hog it with 160

Glad I’m not alone with 160 here

Cat5e can go up to GBe, and is the cheapest cable for that

Yes, basically that’s the reason why 800Mbps/1Gbps upgrades are delayed as they HAVE to change to ONR, even though old BTU is still usable.

But their ONR can be placed into bridge mode to just serve as ONU if you still want to use your own router

Not me paying 269 per month for 1Gbps BB only

The DLink ONR UI is a bit confusing, but you can play around with it when the upgrade eventually comes

119 for 800Mbps is what it should cost , enjoy the free upgrade!

Considering changing to AX12/AX53 , they’re a good investment considering the prices of AX router these days, 850L can be put aside for a child node AP

For short patches, U Green, Vention
For longer rolls <50M, any spools with blue outer coating will work
For 305M spools, personally recommend Draka by Prysmanian Group/Hikvision/Schneider Electric

Or if it’s not too long, just buy those pre terminated cat7/cat8, those are generally more well built as they need to be specially terminated unlike Cat5e/Cat6

Your pipe is huge doesn’t necessarily means it can pull the full pipe via their service. Usually downloads from non CDN/direct is susceptible to routing, I assume from your Synology you’re downloading either torrents/direct files from another host elsewhere on the internet, I use my Hetzner as a seed box to download to my local NAS but it’s always 1MB-4MB/s on average because of TM’s bad routing to international servers, only recently I’ve noticed it going up to 11MB-15MB on average, which is still well short of 1Gbps. Which is expected as I’m communicating directly with hetzner instead of going through AWS/Azure/Google/Akamai CDN or whichever CDN the services I’m connected to use.

For Xbox download, I’m pretty sure Microsoft has compressed their games on their server, so when you download it’s also decompressing real time on your Xbox, hence the speed, like how steam compresses their game, right now most new systems isn’t combatting with speed but their CPU power to decompress their game on your system , even semi new generation of chips Intel 9/10 gen still get pinned when downloading via gigabit from steam

For WiFi you can get full speed most of the time via Speedtest, but actual real world depends. Are you gonna be pulling 800Mbps all the time on your device? Probably not, unless you’re streaming like 16K, which the minimum is 300Mbps and maximum is 585Mbps. At that point, your phone decoding it is the bottleneck , not to mention if your neighbor is terrible (me), they set the width to 160, they’ll hog all the airtime and severely hamper your AP performance. So usually WiFi being able to run full speed is very subjective to interference. Best way to test is still via LAN when your network is quiet

Gonna be patiently waiting for the 2Gbps
