Who know, politics is not my strength, just blocking oversea SMS TAC is enought stupid liao, now a lot of oversea account failed to 2FA login, because of this blocking... sweat.gif
Blocking people with knowledge always the bad choice, it is always better to modify the default to protect the most, while open for professional to do what's their need.

Unless you wanna becoming China, most port getting blocked, just to "Protect" stupid customer from all those vulnerable, like opening SMB port over Internet instead of Intranet, while using old Windows with Update disabled etc. doh.gif

And yes, funny case, Tunetalk disallow me, SMS to China's phone number, lol. laugh.gif
(So yes, my case with not receiving SMS TAC, might be the TuneTalk doing it by blindly follow MCMC.)
Like the debit/credit card, it is disabled for unsecure oversea payment without using 3D Secure(TAC via app/sms), while open for customer to enable it for oversea payment(Steam/Google etc) when they need it.

Is this why Google SMS TAC is so difficult to receive now?

I noticed that Google straight up says they don't support sending messages to my provider. Didn't know MCMC ordered to block all SMS TAC...

My speedtest with h3 cloudflare is stuck, lol.

Can I just close this thing?

EDIT: Yeah, regular cloudflare speedtest completes just fine.

About the whole private vs public IP thing: I hope that TM allows people to pay extra to have public IP addresses in the future regardless of their package, and/or auto upgrade those who are paying higher amounts for their package (say RM150+ for 500Mbps) to one that comes with public IP by default.

Outside of that, not much end users can do but hope IPv6 becomes mainstream ASAP. It looks like that's the only way to put an end to the issues caused by CGNAT.

Or you can switch to other provider like Maxis Fibre

Just add on RM10/mth for public IP
*
I was considering that myself, but I've heard their support is not as good as TM due to them ultimately using TM infrastructure.
I had a recent case where neighborhood line went down due to damaged fiber cable, TM kept the promise of restoring service within 24 hours, even though they were cutting it real close and only managed to fix it 30 mins before deadline. Don't know if Maxis can promise the same and uphold it.

if you are got maxis infrastructure then they can promised restoring 24hours
if you take maxis fibre with tm infrastructure maxis can't promised restoring 24hours due TM infrastructure need take few days then fixing

tm unifi = tm infrastructure will restoring speedy fixing
maxis fibre = maxis infrastructure will restoring speedy fixing
maxis fibre = tm infrastructure will restoring slower fixing few days only like 48hours or 72hours

My area most certainly does not have Maxis infrastructure. All the poles and fiber boxes are labeled TM, and I have not seen any Maxis vans around, only TM ones.
So not a good idea to switch to Maxis.

If you have no issue with TM, you won’t have issue with Maxis too. I’m using both TM and Maxis, no problem at all. Three years with Maxis and still counting, not once Maxis is called to fix anything.

Let me offer you another perspective.
Fiber cut upstream of the optical splitter will affect the whole area.
It's not possible the whole affected area has no Unifi user.
So in a way you will still get 24 hours repair.

Let's be honest, 99.7% uptime guarantee is very damn good for a home account. Just use mobile data in the meantime.

So this whole non-TM telco on TM infra == unreliable story is overblown in my opinion. Sometimes I feel it's made up just to discourage people from using other telco.
*
While this is true, I am still quite old fashioned and appreciate the interaction with the support side when problems arise. In the event of a disruption, I'd rather not depend on neighbors who may not use their internet as much as my family does, since they may not notice the issues.

My area also has spotty mobile data coverage, and it's not reliable unless I go outside. So fiber uptime is quite important due to family members WFH.

Not that I don't understand your angle. Competition among these companies is indeed good and when one offers an alternative, it should be considered. But for my peace of mind, I'm afraid I can't do so for Maxis unless their infra is available in my neighborhood.

Everyone has preference. No issue about it. I WFH all the time too since 2020 and Internet is important to me. I live in two locations, one equipped with UniFi and another one with Maxis. I don’t have issues with both. People who mislead others should really think, what did they gain from this? Not like TM gives you any shares. laugh.gif

Well, in this situation I only speak of my own use case. If others are willing to commit to Maxis on TM infra? I won't tell them not to switch if they really need the public IP add-on.
I personally just hope TM offers Public IP guarantee as an option the way Maxis does. It's actually more unlikely for Maxis to expand their infra to my neighborhood to give that last push I need to move over to them.

Long term though, IPv6 is the only way to go. Talking about it with kwss here a while ago and reading up on it makes me wonder how long that will take though.

There are quite a few workaround if IPv4 is absolute must for you.
1. Use cloudflare tunnel
2. Sign up for a VPN that offers IPv4 complete with port forwarding. You get VPN to every region on earth + IPv4 with this method.
3. Use an OTT / Network as a Service that lease you anything via a tunnel. They are basically different kind of tunnel broker, some even offer BGP over GRE. If telco screw you with IP transit, this method will tell them to fly kite. There are companies that even offer IX peering over GRE. Yes, even to Equinix, worldwide!
4. Use a VPS and set it to forward IPv4 traffic. You get compute, storage, IPv4 with this method.

I don't see ISP offering IPv4 as an advantage today. Why pay RM10/month just for a number when you have better option?
*
Just the set and forget nature of it, speaking as someone who is layman level when it comes to networking.
Now, if the cost was an extra RM30 or so for public IP, then I would just default to VPN. But RM10 is acceptable to maintain public IP and its advantages, at least for me.

MCMC + ministers busy trying to restrict internet usage with eKYC, mydigital ID and other shit instead of pressuring TM to fix this big problem.

The fact that this is not only consistent but getting worse in some cases is unacceptable.

Discord login situation (and whatever routing issue is behind it) seems to be getting worse. Previously I wasn't able to log in from 6pm to 12am, but today I needed to wait until 1am before I was able to log in.
