There is a certain % overprovision to compensate for any overhead on subscriber’s side

Have gotten 5x4TB WD Red as well (still $$/TB ratio) since it's going to tide me over if not i will hoot the 5x4TB WD Black (maybe for the Intel Xeon NASes)

3x shown here and 2x are coming in a couple of days, as it's what my supplier has left for me until the next stock replenishment.

Why not get the WD Red 5TB or 6TB? Should be here next week.

 

[franstam]

Do you guys use the voice phone ?

Connected a normal DECT phone, expected better line quality....

On the other hand, the vqtv is really great, wife is loving it. Now I wish I have a 2nd unit for the master bedroom TV..

you can get another one in the vq e-store!

On wired ? What's your hardware and how'd u get this speed ?

The eBay issue might be affecting a few ISPs. Noticed that the traceroute dies on their end rather than VQ’s end.

WD Green
WD50EZRX @ $270

WD50EZRX @ $335

WD Red
WD50EFRX @ $300

WD60EFRX @ $370

Too bad WD Red Pro don't have 5 & 6tb

Based on what you have posted it's still more savings $$/TB the down the line until 3TB mark.

Just an illustration, you know and i know we are not getting @ this pricing

Definitely will get the WD Red 6TB in bulk when nearing finalising my storage plans.

WD Red WD60EFRX 6TB ~ $370 = $61.67 per TB

WD Red WD50EFRX 5TB ~ $300 = $60 per TB

WD Red 4TB ~ $235 = $58.75 per TB

WD Red 3TB ~ $167 = $55.67 per TB

WD Red 2TB ~ $131 = $65 per TB

WD Red 1TB ~ $89 = $89 per TB

The speakers are Focal XS 2.1, good for Apple users as it can dock your IPhone and can connect as a USB DAC on Windows, no drivers needed. I have been using it for quite some time already, 2~3 years?

Pop by the Eubiq Concept Store @ Suntec Tower 3/4 or IMM and ask loh not too nice to disclose as i chop chop and done in under 5 mins .... lol

 

[kira86]

was thinking of using my spare i5 2500 as the esxi server, think overkill hor.

 

[i-Movies]

yew tee. slow to everywhere since this afternoon, couldn't even access agoda.com
now slightly better but still very slow, ul.to dropped 66% of usual speed.

yup they always overprovision one
Monkey can u overprovision till 1Gbps for mine ? can help u test network also

 

[spiritual84]

Hi Maylyn,

I've installed the new beta2 merlin firmware on my AC68u, same problem started happening again, the 5ghz wifi started going to channel 36, 20MHz all on its own, regardless of setting.

One thing I noted though, if i set the wireless mode to Auto, its will respect the settings that I've set. If i set it to N+AC, then it jumps back to channel 36, 20Mhz regardless.

Could you feedback this to RMerlin perhaps?

 

[afiqqq]

On wired ? What's your hardware and how'd u get this speed ?

oh yah on wired sorry didnt mention. VQ overprovision their subscribers I also disabled Energy Efficient Ethernet & Green Ethernet under adapter settings. I don't know for sure if disabling it helps although i do see some difference on disabling green ethernet. Or maybe just a placebo effect..

Hmm ok . . . I didn't really fool around with my settings apart from assigning channel and turning off QOS.

Maybe I'll do that when I recontract with VQ in Sept . . .

Hi all, eBay is intermittently down globally for a timespan of around 24 hours due to a network maintenance by eBay:
