Which VPN is suitable and cheap ? I mean as cheap as rm10 per month ?
*
I am using Nord VPN, it always have some promo ongoing and I managed to get 2 years license (10 devices concurrently connected) for RM420+ some time ago. This means 420/24 = RM17.5 per month.

Best is I share this account with 3 other friends who use 1-2 device at one time max, so each person < RM5 per month.

Don't cheap out on VPN, Nord is already considered the cheaper one with a good overall privacy, speed, protocol and location coverage. I used to use ExpressVPN but it is so expensive and also bought over by a nasty company.

Can also try mullvad but it's a bit more expensive I think.

A VPN is almost mandatory at this time. Unless you only use and browse popular sites and services.

any VPN to suggest?

Double-check your PPPoE credentials. This happened to me before: the installer reset my password to a new one that was easier for them to configure because their system can only show the default, initial password. After you reset it, it doesn’t appear the latest one.

When I switched back to my Asus router in Bridge mode on Combo box after they left, the WAN was connected but there was no internet connection. I called the installer back and realized he had reset my PPPoE password. After update my PPPoE password on Asus router. All works!

Hi, finally got the free speed upgrade from 800 mbps to 1gb yesterday. The installer came with one unit of white Dlink DPN-FX3060V. Currently my set up is the old grey modem + Dlink DIR-X3060Z. Installer said there’s no need to change to the combo box, that the current set up is capable. Is this correct?
Download WiFi speed around 850mpbs near the router on iPhone 14. Will speed improve using the white combo box? Many thanks.

Just that if you are able to max out the WiFi 6 connection it'd be limited to 940 Mbps because the DIR-X3060Z only has Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN ports.

EDIT:

Also the white combo box only has Gigabit LAN so you'll be capped to 940 Mbps on Ethernet also.

what router does unifi offer to customer these days? (my plan is 300mbps fiber)

current unifi router is faulty, with frequent and random restarts. thinking of taking up their offer for changing router in exchange for 2 years contract
*
Rather renew your contract, why not swap out with a 3rd party router like TP-LINK or Asus?

That's what they told me but when they came and installed the modem+router combo, I just went to the settings and set the device as GPON Bridge only instead of GPON Bridge+Router. Connected it to my TP-Link AX73 router and voila, it works.

The only annoyance Ive been facing since then is slow speed (300mbps) which I suspect coming from their end. Had them reset my port and speed went back to normal (1gbps) but this morning back to slow speed again.

For some routers, they will only connect to Unifi if you run a setup wizard and select Unifi preset. Some of your LAN ports will be tagged for IPTV and VOIP but you can change that in the settings later.

Can't help you there. I got the black D-link combo device that has 2.5Gb WAN port. The menu is different than your Skyworth combo. Try running a setup wizard and see if there's an option for GPON+bridge. If not, you have to go to the Advanced menu and select WAN or Network option to see if you can change it manually.

Using Quick Setup Wizard. Select Unifi's profile.

At least i got it free upgrade from 300 to 500mbps + 6 months free when i walk in tmpoint last april.

Walk-in to tmpoint, disappointed that to eligible for 6mth free waiver, it said compulsory to signup their unifi mobile 39 plan (at least 3mth).

Hindsight should have visit other tmpoint branches to confirm and do comparison, and if this lady was bullshitting with me.

so if i happened to passby another tmpoint will consult to terminate that useless mobile plan earlier to minimise my loss.

Current plan:
300mbps: 129

Quoted:
300mbps: 119 + 6mth free waiver + wifi6 router
500mbps: 139 + 6mth free waiver + wifi6 router

Result:
stay with 300mbps. approx. 5mth free waiver (deduct mobile plan) + wifi6 router (unknown brand wait for technician to come)
