From what I know, TM refuses to Peer with anyone that does not have a local presence, based on a conversation with Quad9

https://www.reddit.com/r/Quad9/comments/13e...comment/jjpx60w

Which is odd since surely Cloudflare has a local presence here?

I did not read all the post

But another thing is TM got many hidden package not available online, and different price with same speed, how much want to reduce? Like someone here 129 or 139 o forgot 800mbps
My old plan 129 100mbps

can choose another ISP... now more cheaper

Do u even understand how internet works??

1. Test on fast.com
2. If u can get the speed, on LAN. U are good

Alot dummie frus cant get speed
For all the qrong reason


Not all server, site, streaming site serve u only...

Example epic game atore....
The apeed really sucks..

For u to reach the max apeed

1. Proper setting and router, especially wifi
2. The site u download can match it max speed

last week im downloading 5gb xiaomi.eu firmware from sourceforge.

the 1st 1.5gb is fast full speed 300mbps then suddenly after that the speed dropped xxkbps.

try redownload also the same speed.

then i try on vpn voilla full speed 300mbps all the way for the 5gb file.

basically now we get higher speed but got rate limitting and traffic shaping in action also.

Backfire yourself lah...

IF UNIFI cannot support 300bmps to your house
how you still can download at that speed????

And alot download server did capped user speed for various reason.

i use SFP+ 10gbit, so yes my LAN is good. I don't think you understand the essence of the complaint here.

a lot of dummie don't understand the nature of my complaint even when its already clearly explained.

Yes, the ISP technically just advertises that they can give you a 2Gbps pipe to their server on speed test
This shows that your link is ok

And yes, most services like video streaming won't even get close to using 2Gbps
And stuff like steam won't get close to using that because of decompression overhead and drive write speeds

The issue we are having now is
Slow connection to international services, because they OVERSOLD their capacity, eg, they have a 100Gbps pipe to Singapore (example only)
Everyone in Malaysia is downloading and attempting to use more than what's available, so, throttling happens and the experience is degraded

Now, it's understandable that they don't have exactly equivalent pipes (eg, there's a total subscribed capacity of 1000Gbps = need 1000Gbps to everywhere)
Because everyone isn't always hammering downloading from the same region at the same timend a lot of times you can hit the local cache servers for big services like FB/WhatsApp/YouTube etc

The issue we want resolved is the former, that their current bandwidth is not enough, and they should manage it better/get more capacity so that the customers don't experience serious performance issues.

Actually, I don't expect to get 100mbps even to most sites. Even 10mbps is realistically OK. I expect there to be sufficient backbone bandwidth such that we won't suffer from packet loss / high latency / videos caching. When a submarine cable breaks, I expect there to be sufficient throughput through alternate links. But most importantly, I do think unifi is extremely overpriced as it is right now, and when people are not happy with price and mcmc acts, they simply offer free upgrade instead of actually lowering price, my problem mainly being, the upgrade having no realistic impact. I truly hate entities be it companies or people that pretend to be doing something positive but its all a facade.

Either MCMC allow TM to scam us or TM game the pricing.

TM releases new HSBB pricing to comply with MSAP, but it may not significantly cut broadband prices for all
https://soyacincau.com/2023/07/30/tm-releas...adband-pricing/

The way they tier their pricing means everyone must triple the speed to get the same price.

Yes they lower the cost of the lowest tier compared to last MSAP. But I have a suspicion not many provider are at those tier. Plus I am sure TM done the math.

Given this fact, we can only complain but it's useless.
The better way is for the government to allow anyone to lay fiber. Right now this is a cartel business.

That's my point, even China which provide like 500M/1000M RM 60 per month having the same issues, they are sharing the global internet speed, and they also need to pay VPN(similar) to get high speed access globally....

Good part?
The speed is real now for local(1Gbps full speed download for Steam, BM Wukong for example), in past they pay for 100M, get 10M and packet lost during night for everything, lol.

Just, go with it, buy yourself VPN, problem solved.
Unless you can get those high QoS plan, which I think you can only obtain if you are provider.
----
For price?
Agree, still the old RM 89, unless you gonna rebind yourself 2 years by signing a B40 plan, which asking you to have own house, so that the billing is under your name, WTF!

So to be B40, you need also having a fxxking expensive house!?
----
Rechecked, bill requirement seem to be I saw at TM topic, unsure still need it or not.
The best is still age 60, nothing required except MyKad, lol.

They actually increased prices post MSAP. Lowest tier is now Rm99 instead of 89.

2 Xiaomi CCTV with occasional 720p Whasapp VC for parents @ kampung, even 30m is overkill what for speed upgrade... LOL

Consider switching ISP then when you have the opportunity. Many have made the brave move and they've moved on.

Why continue paying hundreds for a service every month and then complain because you can't bare with it?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expect different results?

There's Telco M, CD, T, U and Y there which you can read for yourself their customers are complaining less.

just saying

have u make sure your equipment is capable to handle that kind of speed ?
since router provide by TM usually suck

if not then is TM prob
my kampung here apply 1Gbps also got solid 940mbps, speedtest.net of coz(actual max gigabit ethernet cable can reach)

Totally Ignoring the FACTS
the SITE Owner has their own bandwidth policy.

In this case, xiaomi.eu
it might have policy to priotize EU IP address for best speed.

- Many dummies discussed bandwidth all ASSUME any server/site/hosting/cloud has infinite Upload speed, and policy to priotize you and you only.

2nd. If Our National Level Infrastructure DO NOT has the capicity to deliver the speed, example from SG to Your IP Address
Adding VPN WOULD NOT HELP.


VPN other than privacy features, offer optimized Route. and help you to realize your POTENTIAL MAX Speed, provided the Source upload speed can match it.

VPN doesnot RAISE Physical Limit.
VPN doesnot solved National Level Bandwidth Limit.

many dummies assume what's being discussed is capacity and capable throughput when what's being discussed is an order from mcmc to reduce prices but instead isps simply maintaining price / ?increasing? while offering free upgrades very well knowing people aren't going to be getting such speeds for reasons that you explained at least twice, and beyond.

For the most part, unifi hasn't been problematic until recent years. I do have certain fear switching to alternate isp's i'd face reliability issues. I recently saw someone desiring to switch from M to TM. Does raise eyebrows.

Just because one post and it deterred you from switching?

Have you tried connecting to your favorite servers using other ISPs to decide for yourself? Try out other ISPs from your office or neighbor house?

I would take those comments like a pinch of salt if I were you. Own experience is the most reliable. Many of them lurking here are resellers and agents looking for signups. They'd write up reviews and stories to promote their own services/sales.

It really depends on area and your local infrastructure build-out.

The price of own experience is a 2 year contract. I tend to lean towards reviews first before trying something out. Furthermore, in the early years of unifi, it served me well enough. We tend to make decisions based on multitude of factors, someone wanting out wasn't the entirety of it. In the past, on maxis mobile, I was personally displeased over a few things, which has set some bias against it. I am adventurous enough to try something different, but would need to see more people feedbacks of 'done with unifi, going to maxis' sort.


If anything, I ought to do more investigation on maxis bb.
