bro, private IP thing is just a prediction from our sifu , but if you get swu 5.0 now you get real thing price discount. save money first dont bother with public or private ip.

Hmm what's the best offer you guys getting for latest SWU 5.0 about 800Mbps or 1Gbps?

just bringing another perspective in

actually those who got SWU 3.0: RM119 500Mbps free 6 months are already enjoying low bill

you are only paying 18 months bill for a 24 months service (RM119 x 18 ÷ 24 = RM89.25) unless you want to argue now you get an extra D+ subs lah

now this SWU 3.0 already near 24 months and we can see a lot also start moving over to SWU 5.0 unless one not taking proactive approach then I don't know who else to blame if not...

so, TM really played the number game right to counter Astro Fibre

Astro Fiber is really just a rebadge of TM Unifi.
The last mile is from TM, the transit is also TM.
Astro is so lazy until they didn't even bother to connect to any Internet Exchange or multi-home.
Basically they are just reseller of TM Unifi.

You can verify my claims here:

From TM perspective, the cost price should be lower than Astro.

Mine back to normal after yesterday 11pm, just in time for apple event

i also want to know regarding this

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.

wow good job so you already copy onu pppoe etc can you print out paper keep it
don't be missed i hope you enjoy huawei btu yay no more problem

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

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.

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.

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.

Internet start like ciput again around 9pm

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.

I’m sure Maxis will come some day. iirc their NGBB infra is supposed to be the next TM HSBB. They have already deployed fibre in a lot of areas near me. But so far, none have deployed poles yet. But the fibre has already been laid for 2y now.

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 so you know TM is lobbying very hard against multiple last mile provider.
I guess I could say it out loud since it is an open secret now.
