I used to subscribed to 800 mbps Celcom WiFi package.

Previously, I subscribed to 300 mbps package.

However, I don't see any difference at all. Gaming, stream porn, Youtube, Tiktok, live stream all can be done over 300 mbps and it is smooth.

Anyone regretted subscribing to 500 or 800 package where 300 mbps can do the job?

why do u need 800 mbps for?

download 1 tb prono?

For gaming you are looking for latency not bandwidth

Difference is 500mbps

well, the higher speed is obviously suitable if more people are using at the same time

imagine 15 people using at the same time, you might feel the difference

Park. Want to know the same thing.

Same thing from 4g to 5g Celcom.. same thing.. cant see the diff..

also need to look at the target server

if outside of Asia then good luck playing with 200 ms ping when you're playing competitive game

thats the most possible ping to get even with the shortest latency there is

One of my home is 300 Mbps fibre whereas my mobile's 5G can reach 800Mbps

No difference. I just felt fibre is stable

if u r not a heavy downloader

300mbps is more thn enough

this. more bandwidth to cater to more IoTs in your home as well.

i'm always under the conclusion that 100Mbps is more than sufficient for the average per person. you can do alot at that speeds provided its consistent.

only very niche groups requires very high speeds unless somehow they remove all forms of digital compression in internet

Depends what you use it for and what server are you using for

For me...u give me 800mbps, I can actually full utilize it...some server, not all
Most server would do fine on 300mbps

5 person household here
300mbps is slow

unless if you have a big machine server at home, I don't really see the point taking more than 300 mbps. Heck, 100mbps should be more than enough unless household stay with family + heavy watch video usage

I ragrats

Even pay extra RM10 to get 500mbps, totally unstable and speed most of the time less than my previous 300mbps.

Maxis don't want to change the router also. And the top router also lousy one. Dunno how many years already.

how many people using

datahoarder needs more to download the internet

no difference until u have like >5 people in the house.

each person 1 phone + 1 pc/tablet, 1440p youtube etc

depends on usage. if do heavy downloading the extra bandwidth is necessary but if TS do more streaming then you dont fully utilize the 800 mbps. so downgrade to 300mbps will be the correct move.

at home I have 5 users sharing the connection so my 500mbps is sufficient and fully utilized.

I downgraded from 1Gbps to 500Mbps and still feel it's a lot.

Plus all my 4tb x2 full.

gaming is more towards latency la. Cos need exchange data in real time

Streaming/browsing is the connection speed, 300mbps is more than enough to view 4k video.

Anything above 300 is for NAS, at that point upload speed more important than download.

If u want smooth gaming better to invest some $$ for vpn. exitlag works really great the last time i used. support most online games. Easy to use and not expensive. cheapest is to create new account and then sapu the annual package during black friday. Those black friday deals only work on new account, so need register every year.

That's my 2sen la as plebian.

Bingo
You don't want the video streaming suddenly buffering at the most important timearea

Maybe for big house, if wifi signal weak speed drop 80% still fast

Not sure if that's how it's work

I got 3 maxshit router to be throw away
You want to take it come to my old house

One of the big difference is upload speed.
300mbps plan only has 50mbps upload, 500mbps plan has 100mbps upload. No idea on 800mbps but 1gbps plan has 500mbps upload. Useful for people that uses alot of cloud storage or self proclaimed youtuber etc etc

U won't noticed the speed unless u do downloading. Streaming 50mbps also enough

how to improve latency? buy better router?

i have 500mbps unifi but sometimes competitive gaming got random lag/ping spike and rubber banding that one why ah?

300mbps is good enough for a condo, anything above are extra non utilized anyway

Its the performance of the service provider and how they route the traffic. This part you have little control.

Next level is your equiment.

If everything good can even game smoothly at 100mbps or 80 mbps

Just replace the router

because "want"

You can see difference if you subscribed to fiber line.

Like WiFi, the max speed depends on signal strength and signal quality. If the WiFi can establish max speed at 100Mbps, you can never go higher speed than that even if you subscribed 800Mbps. It is as simple as that.

video streaming means upload

who do video stream here. nada.

ur phone need 1gbps, 4k display, true story.

3-5 person on 500 then slow. If solo saja 500 cukup. Lolx

Your usual monthly usage berapa GB?

ada wang, choose the best saja

800bmps = bragging right. That's it.

No way many will be able to saturate the speed 24 x 7.

can unker tumpang this tered.

house: Unker, wife and 1 kid

is 200mbps rm99 plan enough?

occasional gaming (CSGO), youtube/netflix

stop caring about maximum internet speed since 30mbps era because i can wait. only ktard here thinks 100mbps is too slow

Depends on household devices. If using single device of course no feel different

Now u can ask 2 buddy to use your wifi and stream together gather lo

30mbps feels like dial up to me now.
Just to download a small 50GB game would take hours.

not regret for me, can redownload big game in short time

100mbps + good router > 800mbps + default & shit router.

3 person 200Mbps is good enough.
Unless stream netflix on multiple devices, you need 600Mbps.

the only thing i can think of to justify bandwidth beyond 100Mbps for average residential use is if you have multiple CCTVs constantly send superhigh bitrate video to the cloud. even if you live with 2-3 people, 100M is sufficient.

If you don't, then high change your smart appliances are excessively phoning HQ, send data, etc.

Tenks. usually at night unker stream netflix while waifu watch her youtube.

play on PC via wired or wifi? it's better to play wired for better latency

should be enough

i downgraded from 800mbps/1gbps to current 500mbps, dont feel any difference lol

I downgrade from 800 to 500 then to 300 now on 100 mbps.I realized that my house dont need 800 mbps to fully functioned, all I need is a good router to handle the traffics. we watch 4K streaming most of the time by the way, once in a while /t/ other than that, well...

like I said before

many ppl very kiamsiap when it comes to good router but can pay expensive monthly subscription for the internet

this, I cannot brain.

it is like paying ron 100 for kancil 660

those telco supplied router are just plain sucks

get the mid tier router from asus, tp-link is better, bigger ram that can handle bigger traffic, better soc. yes bandwidth is way more important than the latest router available in the market

for example

TP-LINK AX73 5400
under rm500

TP-LINK AX 73 AX5400



if u guys on budget, can consider TP-Link Archer AX53 RM only RM200 plus now

Cheap TP-LINK AX53 AX3000

Most of the time I think many subscribers suffer these in silent, but dont know what to do

random disconnects
unstable connections

some of them dont even know their own user id and password, dunno how to access the url, how to change the pwd, how to change router

no thanks to telco that keep giving free sampah router which will degrade fast within a year ngam ngam warranty finish.

why cant they sell better router like what they do with hp? educate lah your subscribers. real pndk these telco. unifi, maxis, time , all the same. real hkc.

you really sound like you never live in dial-up era.
even on adsl era, you still need to wait hour to download an episode of anime or tv show. no one downloading cd size game during dial up era (thats the reason why pirated game shop thrive during that era). even pokemon gold/silver rom will take more than 10minutes.

can recommend unker good router?

upload 1TB porn per hour

you need a better router with better cpu and ram to handle the traffic

non gamers wont feel the difference

the latency is better on fiber. way more stable.

Yeah no difference, 800 or 1 gig, the minute peak hour all slow

the huawei stock router given by time suxx big time

go replace it as soon as possible

can suggest unker good router?

Unifi cloud gateway ultra.
Unifi has pretty great routers and access point.
https://techspecs.ui.com/unifi/cloud-gateways/ucg-ultra?s=us
I’m stuck with Asus ecosystem, but if I’ve to begin anew, I’ll go with Unifi routers/AP.

Yes, the difference are 500mbps

actually whatever router issued by isp can already be good enough.
if you still facing disconnect, either your devices wifi chip is crap/dont work well with the router or just plain bad signal strength. router chipset manufacturer are either broadcomm, qualcomm, mediatek and intel,not much other vendor lef. compatibility concern should be already been reduced greatly already.

Tenks!

premium router waste of $ lah

most encountered problem are noobs that connect to 2.4ghz wifi then complain to tm why speedtest cannot reach 100,300,500mbps ... lol

if you cant feel the different probably most of your device cant utilise the full speed of 800mbps; bottleneck somewhere hence no different.
I move from 500mbps to 800mbps also can feel the different.

When i download game from Steam/Xbox Game Pass/Torrent the different is so much obvious.

even a 10mbps line with low latency is enough for online gaming

ktards think they downloading 1gb/min worth of data during gaming ka?

actually 4k too much bah. your phone so small, so high resolution also same. just using bandwidth. unless you glue to become VR if not chances are is same. how fast your phone reposnse time? 120hz?

overkill bro, even my office, 50+ people is using 400mbps only.

For me isp issued router is sampah. they really cut cost everything they can; despite technical spec said it is good. Unless it is a branded/official router from manufacturer; and normally they ask us to pay for it as part of the upgrade.

wait until u play MFS.

we no longer have Gobind as our Menter Komunikasi

otherwise I am sure he can push for this

when the last time you test the isp issued router anyway?
this is no longer dir615 era where run connection abit more, web management kaput.

isp also not stupid going to spend cheapest, it will be a tier higher. else they wont go give everyone ax3000 router nowdays, support mesh somemore.

even myself, die hard openwrt users also impressed on the new cheap hardware.

shh.. dont tell

Minimum recommendation for PS5 is 30mbps la..
10mbps not enough for 4k. Same like netflix, it should be min 25mbps..

This post has been edited by khusyairi: May 28 2025, 03:04 PM

These days, it’s advisable to combine 2.4, 5 or even 6ghz under the same ssid for MLO.
(Provided both router and device support WiFi 7).

ayam using 1gbps at home, the only difference is download game faster... the rest cant feel the difference. previously my ofis only 100mbps more than 7 ppl use at the same still smooth.

plan to downgrade eoy once my unifi contract finish since my bro and his wife will move to a new house..just left me and my mom.. dont see how i can fully utilize the 1gbps pun

AX3000 got different lah between cheapest and expensive; like coverage, streams and advance features. And ISP is stupid if they are not going to spend the cheapest. They will just give workable router, tahan a bit but they still want untung. My parents house use isp router and i can feel the different compared to mine (coverage & stability). yeah both are 800mbps anyway.

from your word, is not like night and day differences. my parent house is 6000sqft house, guess what that TM branded router covers every area, well not like guaranteed >150mbps on every test, but can still play HD video just fine.

now ISP dont just use the cheapest also you complaining lel.

okay keep on denial ya convince everyone they need to buy after-market router. i think even the like dlink also dont want to bother with b2c model, they rather goes b2b because theres where the money are.

indeed

otherwise blacktubi wont be bothered to do comparison on his page

anyway, this router almost rm1K, but the spec is gooding, 2.2GHz + 2GB RAM

This post has been edited by JimbeamofNRT: May 28 2025, 03:28 PM

since when ISP so baik hati dishing out free replacement stock router ( after 2 years ? )

u guys change ISP meh every 2 years?

come ask blacktubi to comment here says everyone need high-end 4x4, SFP port router. /jk
even ISP issued router can be as good as tplink ax53, which is ironically recommended by some ktards.

re-contract la deiii

just because i preferred my openwrt router doesnt mean i will attack every cheap vendor-locked router out there. good enough mean it is good enough for most users, who cares about the leftover enthusiastic users, they wont be satisfied.

download steam game cepat
if not that much space boleh uninstall and reinstall easily

my plan is just good enough for now, the current promo plan is way more expensive than the one I have, so no reason for me to re contract

just sharing my experience from the past, mostly stock router are just plain suxx-see how many users in this forum complaint about them

my old ax82u still serve me well

if u didn't download and mostly streaming. 300 is more than enough already. Streaming on 2-3 devices or 4k on TV also not an issue.
if ur household got more than 6 ppls, maybe only you can feel it. Otherwise 3-5 devices using it at the same time also no problem.

and thats why ISP not being too cheap now. too much vocal netizen out there.
so they give us decent good value for money skyworth, dlink, huawei model now. even to the extend of offering FTTR equipment for people who willing to spend.

are we guaranteed that we could be as good as e-sport top rank player out there with the best router, no right? last time i play online game also kena belasah with player higher than 100ms ping.

anyway for people that using old ISP issued router there, not willing to spend their hard earned cash. just freaking re-contract la.

This post has been edited by zerorating: May 28 2025, 03:47 PM

isnt the premium router like 1k++ is only useful if you subscribe to higher speed?

like if the router stated support up to 5-10gb hz etc but if you only subscribe to 100mbps got use meh? or is it because of the router spec like higher ram,bandwith etc make it useful

but I know I am getting what I am paying for, rather than suffer in silent, paying expensive monthly so much but kenot enjoy the full speed

i think u are also in denial.

my mom as average user also complaint not getting stable connection at kitchen area. i dont believe her untill i install cctv at the back and notice while the signal indicator is still strong but stability is gone with noticable lag when remote control the cctv. problem solved after i install wifi extender. dont need the speed but i need stability. obviously my parents house is not as big as urs.

if you think isp router is good enough, then go on.
for my case, it is not. and i can feel the difference after switching into a better router.

its good if you frequently transfer large file locally. for most internet use, not so much. wait for the like of TM actually change their equipment to 10GPON then the upgrade will make more sense as you can actually get gigabit speed from paid service via cheap internet access.

not u aaa in denial?
whats your mum router model aaa? you dont expect 10 years equipment to be as good as modern equipment. if you ask me 10 years before of course la will say use your own router, now situation changed already.

have you question why many people keep using their ISP issued router? they really love problem here and there aa? alot of people are actually satisfied with their equipment la deiii.

i pakai gigabit, it is mostly for show and my own ego haha

but it is very nice to download apple update at 990 mbps

ps5 i dont need to upgrade storage because i can play, delete and download again within 20 minutes

yeah. for me only usefull when subscribe to higher speed.
500mbps using isp router is still ok. but i notice ive got bottleneck with upgrading to 800mbps and not getting the speed i paid for until i switch with better router.

agreed.

like I said before lah

based on what I see, hear, even in this forum, most of the time I think many subscribers suffer these in silent, but dont know what to do

-random disconnects
-unstable connections

some of them dont even know their own user id and password, dunno how to access the url, how to change the pwd, how to change or do the setup on router

why cant they sell better router like what they do with hp? educate lah your subscribers. real pndk these telco. unifi, maxis, time , all the same. real hkc.
