My 6 months free bill is over, I dont think TM would entertain me if I tell them Astro is offering me something cheaper?
Paying the full RM149 for 500Mbps at the moment

Login to TM's router and see if you can get the credentials or not
Combo box wise, skyworth is the easiest (either untick a box or use the inspect element method)
Same goes to fibrehome

Just ask the technician abang politely, maybe with a bottle of cola ready as well
Ask him for the admin access and pppoe credentials
Often times they will help

You can give it a try, but you will to figure out how to get the PLOAM pwd and serial from the old box
Just remember to change the serial number for the HG8145X6 to the old box as well (If I remember correctly you can do this on huawei ONU)

1. Nope, ISP switched to combo unit because it is cheaper and they can centralise control (eg more difficult for customer to upgrade their devices), just look at TIME where you need to request CS to change your 2 in 1 into bridge mode and they refused to give out any admin credentials.

2. For anything below 1Gbps plan, 1Gbps max. Unless you subscribed to anything faster then you will get 2.5G 2 in 1/ONU

3. You can switch that combo box into bridge mode, no need to get an ONU

4. They will only support the newest device installed

5. Uhhhh for me I faced ping spikes and bad signal coverage, ended up switching back to my old ONU+router setup

Steps to switch skyworth box into bridge mode is here, credits to Blacktubi

You are testing the speed of the router to the test server
Not your wireless device's speed to test server

You can take a look at their FB and Google review, pretty much all negative comments

Controld DNS here, having slow downs as well
Tried Cloudflare speed test, it was bad...

Sorry, I'm not that tech savvy. May I know what you meant screenshot of MyIX?
Been comparing my DNS host to someone that is using controld as well
Turns out his traffic gets routed to xsp-h03 while mine get tossed to xssp-h05 consistently
Singapore host vs Tokyo host
At the moment cloudflare is normal for me, no high latency or packet loss
Going to test with cloudflare DNS in a moment, these are with controld

Here you go

That I'm not sure, restarted router a few times and it fixed by getting a different IP

Any luck?

Fixed the high ping to DNS by disabling IPV6, YouTube loads faster as well.
Can't believe Unifi still couldn't get their IPV6 and international routing right, gonna switch ISP again once contract ended...RM90 500Mbps be damned

WAN IP normal lah
I just default everything

Switched to IPV4, perfectly fine now
Still, once contract finished I'm going to switch back to Maxis
At least I dont need to deal with weird routing issues

I prefer better routing than cheaper price
RM90 500Mbps means nothing to me if the websites I’m using wouldn’t load in the night

Asus supports DoT (Wifi 6 and 7)
Certain models of Tplink supports both DoT and DoH
Archer C59( V4 V4.6 V4.80 ) , Archer BE5000 , Archer AX55( V1 ) , Archer A64( V1 ) , Archer C64( V1 ) , Archer C86( V1 ) , Archer BE550( V1 V1.60 ) , Archer GE650( V1.60 ) , Archer C80( V1 V2.20 ) , TL-WR1502X( V1 ) , Archer BE800( V1 V1.60 ) , Archer A6( V4 ) , Archer C6( V4 ) , Archer A8( V1 V2.20 )

I'm only a merlin user so I cant give you a proper feedback
Merlin wise, more frequent updates with more features

Life of an Unifi user, get used to it

I switched from Maxis to Unifi because of the 6 months bill rebate
The biggest mistake of my life so far
