other than digi rent tm infra, what major concern i should aware?
i heard digi will give static ip? and then i heard people talk bout private ip etc which even confuse me more
i torrent and watch free stream site, if i dont want people to know what am i downloading, i should continue with unifi?
digi plan is really attractive atm
thanks
So
Firstly
no way they would give you static ip, that's expensive
most likely its private ip
private ip vs public ip is
private ip - you share one ip address with many other users, cannot port forward
public ip - that ip address is used by you only, can port forward
because ipv4 addresses are running low, most isps only give private ip these days
not sure on celcomdigi, but unifi gives it only on special cases while maxis will give it to you for rm10 monthly
for the downloading stuff, regardless of public or private, people/your isp knows what you are downloading
public may allow for better connection because ports can be opened
private means your downloads will be mixed in with other users (but isp still can know), but may affect the download
VPN is the solution if you want to hide
as for differences in infra
yes, they are renting the last mile infra to your home, but once it reaches their servers/nodes, they take different paths
its like having different highways, the last part of the road to your home is the same and shared
but the highway onto the internet is different with different isps, each has their own paths so the internet experience may differ depending on congestion and where your destination is
