Ah ok.
So to properly use what we get, we need to pay TM for the shit ORT (RM188 or new 24 months contract), then buy a SFP converter + an actual proper router to replace the ORT.
And this needs a wifi setup that's separate but I guess we will all have that already so that cost doesn't need to be factored in.
Dunno to be happy or sad, "free" speed upgrade gonna result in large cost increase to use properly
I guess when TM schedules the upgrade I'll have to have a think about this. Ideal would be letting me downgrade and pay less since I don't really use the 800Mbps download much these days anyway, though I could use better upload speeds. But we all know they're not going to allow that at all or make it easy.
Hate to be that guy but if you’re paying for 1Gbps/2Gbps you’re probably already have sufficient funds for a converter with SFP ONU for 2.5G WAN
Only reason that someone won’t do it is bc of Mr Otromen here, which has a completely valid reason, it’s just not for the typical consumer. The only reason I’m willing to dip into it is because I literally live with my parents and I can afford some time and money to tinker. You bet my ass that I’ll move everything back to TM’s default equipment if I don’t live with them. My fam won’t know jack shit about all these equipment other than the modem and router name, and remotely diagnosing with them, whether with me or TM, they’ll have to USE the original equipment from TM.
Yes the 2Gbps bandwidth will be wasted but the only ppl that’ll reasonably use up to that amount of bandwidth is tech geeks. Normal users will NEVER exceed 500 or even 300 under ideal conditions
