Unifi Finally Has Symmetrical Upload Speed? 🤯

johnchen — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 16:36:10 +0800

Hi guys, I randomly did a Speedtest today to configure some devices, and noticed my upload speed is now almost the same as my download speed! 😳

Previously, I always got much lower upload (e.g. 500Mbps download vs 100Mbps upload), but now it’s showing symmetrical speed (Wi-Fi):

Speedtest directly on Router:

Is this new, or can any insider verify? I didn’t receive any official email or announcement. Maybe they’re slowly upping their game?

Residensi Akasia/Gemilang - Bukit Jalil Taman LTAT

johnchen — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 11:38:49 +0800

Recently I have been approached by several agents about a project called Kondominium Akasia/Residensi Gemilang (I think by PPHM, based on my research, the agents won't disclose ), heard that it was previously for the gov servants (PPAM) but is now open to the public (anything to take care of? )

RM400,000 (1200 sq ft)
RM 380,000 (1140 sq ft)

- 3 bed 2 bath
- Siap bina unit, ready to move in
- 580 units
- Leasehold
- 500m to LRT
- 1.2 km to Pavillion 2 (Bukit Jalil)
- Pool, futsal court, community center etc..
- Comes with free SPA Legal Fees, 2 side-by-side carpark

The price per sq ft seems not bad for the area, but not expecting too great of its furnishing, it appears to be like a low-medium cost apartment as compared to the surrounding projects, any otais here heard of this project?

I am planning to visit the unit, as a first-time home buyer (Sole prop), any advice on what to keep in mind during my visit?
