Yeah, they also suggested Unifi first

after explaining that its just my grandparents living there and there's no use for internet, then they offered this wireless phone plan

granted, I also knew that this plan existed from another relative so I would have asked for said plan if they didn't try to offer it

hi i am getting latest white combo modem for unifi 100mb. any idea how to configure login into Deco M4 AP? because i found that this combo modem always hanging and lost of connection

Anyone at bayan lepas getting streamyx speed on unifi now?

Nevermind I take it back. Tonight all high ping again, I guess with them u-turning on the DNS hijack, they revert back to previous routing also.

Everyone in Malaysia, no need ask, lol.
This is what's happen when you trying to throttle 1 of the biggest CDN, CloudFlare.

Before: Yay, can block those tracker and no much torrenting~
Now: Nah...

So we all know who dragging down whole Malaysia's internet speed.

So much news they put out about quarantine and kill switch, no one will want to do business here.
Imagine suddenly sakit hati and you kena quarantine or internet got killed. How to fulfill order?
Say your business involve social network, don't need to reply DM as long as the sakit hati continue?

Best to just move to other country that don't even discuss this kind of things.
Once discussed, reputation and confidence is gone.

Is the throttling deliberate or is it to mitigate congestion?

Starlink are still bound to local laws. They don't magically get a free pass for supposedly wireless direct to satellite internet. Hell they probably already got their own dc here to comply with pdpa and whatnot. If the directive really goes through eventually starlink need to comply too or just straight pull the plug exit malaysian market. We didn't hear about them in this whole shenanigan probably because they choose to wait and see.

What is the Killswitch that they are planning to implement?

Back at the end of the working week, it was discovered that the MCMC had issued a notice to all ISPs, ordering them to begin implementing a public DNS redirection for businesses, enterprises, and governments by the end of this month. Despite that, sporadic reports and complaints from general consumers began to surface, saying that their queries and site searching while on public DNS servers, such as Google’s and Cloudflare’s, returned a 404 to them. And the only way for them to regain access to the internet was to disable said public IPs.

mean if maxis BIZ plan also will DNS block ????

QoS works like this.

I tell you got 100M speed, instead of using 100M fully and causing lag to important traffic, you sure only assign 80M for bulk down/up, 20M for important.

For better example, YouTube, if you trying to grab video from non Malaysia CDN/peer, throttle observed, but it is full speed at MY CDN/peer.
You only need to cache this 10GB of video file by grabbing it from SG, then sharing to others within Malaysia, let said it take 10M/s oversea traffic to did that, then others is just local traffic within MY.
If you give everyone going to SG CDN, then everyone in Malaysia download 10GB of video file from SG, it take >10M/s to did that, 10 ppl then 100M/s oversea traffic, and lol.

So, it gonna break if you don't throttling those people doing it, and well, result in current status.

The only problem is, Why TM failed to did that.

I observed that, Shopee moving CDN to MY, then back to SG, same to Lazada, and lastly the unicast of CloudFlare CDN server.(moved by TM)
Is it caused by wrong setup of DNS(as you may know, 1111 give you SG instead of MY server), or because it is too expensive to buy traffic from TM?
---
Ok, observed lazada moving back to MY already, but...
lol, even Lazada using Bytedance and zenlayer as their MY CDN, not AliYun.

Shopee still at SG, so I guess all traffic assigned for Shopee 9.9 sale and CloudFlare then.

Still, it valid, why CloudFlare and shopee traffic still going to SG, you better ask how much TM asking them to pay.

PS: It save cost only for static data like image video etc, it still need to reach back SG for computation la, but by result, traffic saved a lot.
So the best is static at local CDN, direct API traffic to compute server, unless you need prefect exp for customer, then all done by local CDN.

Damn straight. Ideally, the only thing I want to hear out of MCMC and Digital and Comms Ministry are improved price and/or speed for existing packages. Also kempen kesedaran for parents with young children as well as aunties and uncles to be careful online la. That is still a real concern.

For the sakit hati thing, that one Github example I saw was the best because it affects those kinds of businesses too:

Someone puts up something on Github gomen don't like/found that it infringes copyright, MCMC bans all Github. GG tech companies.

Blahahaha, China did do that.
But lucky, as long as your company sign up agreement, they did allow you to connect to oversea, but you need to save all the record on your local monitoring system for what's your staff have done.
If you open certain China's website page like Lazada, Taobao or Shopee, you can check that they did manage from China network.

https://www.facebook.com/LazadaMalaysia

So what the problem is, Malaysia is not big enough like China, no one gonna spend this much of the resource to just MY this small market.
Small country, big problem.

42.190.XX is the worst TM ip range. upload/download speed is very limited even using TM local server and website to test and the ping is like +60~100ms to local TM server. I don't know why this IP range behave liks this

60.50.XX, 60.52.XX, 60.53.XX, 115.XX, 118.XX, 124.XX, 203.106.XX all have routing problem with ipv4 cloudflare server resulting in ~+40ms than normal 10-13ms latency to MY or SG cloudflare.

210.186.XX, 210.187.XX, 175.XX have no routing problem so far.


I'm on the same boat as you. Already got itchy hand to terminate my Unifi Fiber as my cotract already end and I paid more than the current subsriber with the same speed + this TM "Caste System" IP range slowing down my connection. Why can't TM network tech/engineer standardize for all their IPv4 range? Why need to have this VIP IP range and lousy IP range.

Using Digi with 5g modem is more stable in my area.

Because 1 answer, they wanna ask for more money from CDN provider.

By throttling oversea traffic, as provider, if you wanna to get good customer experience, you had to build CDN within Malaysia, and pay TM traffic money.
Not just build at SG then pay nothing to TM.

Then only problem is how much, why cloudflare still going to SG instead of MY, CloudFlare did got MY server.
---
For IP range, it is a mistake.
VIP business got higher QoS than normal biz and unifi customer.

I know that because I got in touch with TM WiFi before, when too much traffic for TM WiFi, they just throttling that static IP(It is different account under something like @biz or @tmnet, not @unifi)

During UniFi lite 10M era, they throttling hard for every traffic going to local Google server, only full speed allowed when Google give you connection to TM peer server.
Then after free speed upgrade v1, they did it again, but only for IPv6 and uploading whatsapp history to google drive.
Then now, CloudFlare, last for years.

How long it gonna solved?
Ask TM la.

How much is the plan monthly?

Well it seems like alternate providers aren't the way to go then. VPN (or something similar of) it goes.

When AWS Malaysia went live, he could have just STFU and let what he previously said disappear.
Instead, he want to block DNS, to protect you. He want a kill switch, to protect you. Now he want to quarantine you too.

He could have let the current task force in Bank Negara continue their job. Whatever extra he needs from the tech community, he can reach out and I'm sure a lot of people is willing to fight crime.

But no, he bulldoze all the censorship. People will see this as bad faith. The moment he open his mouth like this, it's a done deal.

When the DNS thing first start, he can act dumb and just say check with MCMC. Nope, he double down and brand everyone a criminal.

Now this Teresa Kok case, they cannot talk their way out how easy it is to sakit hati.
