What are the experiences with faulty BTU or provided router?

Maxis Fibre T&C indicate subscribers borne the cost of repair. Do they practice this?

If damage due to lightning surge on the electrical point?

Thanks.

Tyre size 205/45R16, quoted RM250-260/ea

Viking is budget tyre, how about GT Radial HPX?

For unker driving 60-80kph, not doing spirited driving.

Any other brands recommendation? Michelin PS3 @RM470 is just too expensive.

Motherboard come with Intel 82583V network chip, but it is detected as 82574L by OS.

The motherboard maker confirmed it is a 82583V chip flashed with 82574L firmware.

A 82574L has 2 hardware receive queues and support MSI-X, while 82583V don't have either.

Anyone know if this is possible? By flashing firmware and have these extra hardware features.
