I think Astro know their customer well, those B40 should not care about paying RM 90 cheaper, else they already give up Astro lol.

But yes, I also think that Astro should give like RM 49/69 30M, sound better, consider with the issues of locked router etc.
This will kick most people to sign up with them.
---
ok, checked another thread, RM 60 for 50M, not bad.

If Astro Fiber Broadband provide the standard like Unifi, I might change it, the most I cannot accept is Private IP.

Easy, learn from Maxis, pay for Public IP.
Still, they know their market is for those always watch Astro, which don't care and not using internet for netflix etc.

Also, I wonder did they provide IPv6 or not, if no IPv6 public, then lol at them.

i've...no idea what was said.

based on previously using TM fixed IP, they gave /29 subnet, in which the first (of usable 6) is router address. the other 5 is free to assign to own device.

Wanna ask you is Unifi provides IPv6?

Look at my | IPv6 | Post #8906 at the right of this post, then you know the answer.

Yes, the routing also strange at DNS side, google DNS IPv6 don't honor the result for Malaysia, so they always give SG IPv6 instead of MY IPv6, this is why IPv6 crappy for Malaysia...
I guess because the IPv6 DNS server is at SG.
---
But now it works most of the time for IPv4, just we lacking IPv6 at MY CDN server lol.
And yes, if you use 1.1.1.1 DNS IPv6, it still giving you the SG server, lol.

So I sometimes use onedotonedotonedotone for obtaining SG result.

It means, they give "shared" Static IP address, but it is still CGNAT, lol.
So it is Static + CGNAT lol.

fixed IP usually for companies. got to pay fees each month for the block.
where got shared one. it can be used to host on the net. been there, done that.

Astro is using whose infra? Time?

I use Google dns so far for both primary and secondary. Are they good? Or others better?

Unifi et all the same. You can still use them for your internal servers. Can use 1:1 NAT or unnumbered IP. Latter is how I setup my uncle's office Unifi /29 using Mikrotik RB750Gr3.

I guess some ISP is special?
Unsure, can be their tech setup it wrongly?

Based on this thread, UniFi
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5073652/+100

I think If you feel slow down, then try disable IPv6 la, but the issues is mostly caused by the throttling of UniFi on SG, like the rerouting of HK to SG CloudFlare now....
---
For your info, I performed testing on www.lazada.com.my with IPv4 and IPv6 of Google DNS and CloudFlare DNS.
Here is the result.

2606:4700:4700::1111, MY
2606:4700:4700::1001, MY
1.1.1.1, SG Akamai for IPv4/IPv6
1.0.0.1, SG Akamai for IPv4/IPv6

2001:4860:4860::8888, MY
2001:4860:4860::8844, MY
8.8.8.8, MY for both
8.8.4.4, MY for both

This is why I prefer Google DNS, lol.

For the extra, both IPv6 DNS got reaching issues for Public Bank's DNS server, lol.
https://www2.pbebank.com/

Yes, there is 10s timeout for public bank.(old is 30s)
This might be caused by the caching time TTL is 30s, but strange that if I check via Android network tools, it is fine....
---
More testing on PBe, it works well also on DNS over HTTPS, both IPv4/IPv6, so...
Seem like only happen on DNS over UDP for IPv6 la.

Not possible.
You have to be in totally different pppoe domain(@unifibiz) to even be a member of fixed ip subnet (that you still need to pay separate addon for).
the provisioning is much more involved at backend than a simply configuration at client end.

Ya, I know about the different domain because of "TM WiFi", I guess should be more of tech setup issues than ISP put CGNAT for fixed IP la.

Wait I thought Cloudfare DNS was always better? Google DNS is the same except it is faster based on your results? Damn maybe I should switch to Google DNS lol.

Don't la, later my lazada slow down because you guys back to MY CDN.
---
Depend, it is pure luck, sometimes if UniFi choose to kick you SG Google DNS, then you still get the same, lol.
The problem of stay too closed to SG lol, not the fastest speed, but the worst routing issues.

hehe thanks for the tip, I notice there have been slight hiccups here and there sometimes, even in lowyat forum. Google DNS is mostly the same right? Don't see a difference, other than the better routing.

No(I means yes, no different, and not related to DNS lol), lowyat is cloudflare issues, lowyat already get routing to JBH or KUL cdn server, but during 11.11 sale it get issues from reaching the main server.
That one you need to ask lowyat la, either issues on lowyat or cloudflare, as I don't know where is lowyat located at lol.

If located at SG, then can understand why slowdown lol.

They already did something long time ago, which is to put some restriction for other providers using their infra.

You can call 100 to terminate the STD20.

You are misdiagnosing the issue. It has nothing to do with DNS or IPv6.

lowyat.net:


lazada.com.my:


As you can clearly see, both Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS return the same result. So changing what DNS server you use doesn't affect the result one bit.

For lowyat.net, all IPv4 go to HK directly. all IPv6 go to SG directly.
lowyat.net uses Cloudflare DNS as their authoritative DNS and also CDN.
Simply using IPv6 cut latency in half!
Trying a few other Cloudflare fronted domain, not all of them have this problem, which I suspect is how Cloudflare distribute traffic between HK and SG datacenter.

For lazada.com.my, all IPv4 go to HK > SG. No IPv6 support.
lazada.com.my uses Alibaba Cloud as their authoritative DNS.

To further diagnose this issue, TM need to provide public access to their BGP Looking Glass. Alternatively anyone who has peering with TM BGP + full internet routing table should be able to diagnose it properly.

pbebank.com:


Here we can see the apex domain return a different IP address: 203.115.208.218 (Cloudflare), 43.241.40.218 (Google)

43.241.40.218 and 43.241.40.253 (AS6453 TATA COMMUNICATIONS (AMERICA) INC) go to Singapore and come back to Kuala Lumpur.
203.115.208.218 (AS10204 Arcnet NTT MSC ISP) route directly via MyIX.

Let's flush the DNS resolver cache:
Google: https://dns.google/cache
Cloudflare: https://1.1.1.1/purge-cache/



You can see Cloudflare DNS now gets a new IP address while Google DNS gets the same IP address.
58.26.83.218 (AS4788 TM TECHNOLOGY SERVICES SDN. BHD.) is super fast since it is inside TM network and I am using TM.

Let's flush the cache for a second time:


Notice we are back to square one? This must be pbebank.com authoritative DNS problem.


It might be Imperva problem, or more likely Public Bank configure Geo IP resolver incorrectly.



EDIT:


Looks like Cloudflare is working properly over both IPv4 and IPv6. colo=SIN, loc=MY
A quick look into their community forum shows that this is an intended behavior for customer using Free and Pro plan. Fork out the money for Business or Enterprise plan and the problem will disappear.
Maybe lowyat.net should just pay more.
