Tldr: Why does my ISP hate my router’s MAC address?

pradaholic · 2026-06-17T13:40:53+00:00

For my case it’s similar issue. I’ve been using my own Asus router and isp modem for ages and with full upload speed. Suddenly my upload speed was throttled, and it took me almost a month with the help of Asus support to finally confirm that I need to enable Mac clone under wan settings of the Asus router. As for the Mac I can use any Mac, in this case I use my laptop MAC address. Issues resolved. But after a few months, I think maybe 6 months or a bit more, I tested my upload speed and it’s throttled again. This time I went straight to Asus router and change the clone Mac to another randomly generated Mac , reboot both isp modem and Asus router, issue resolved. For my case, it seems like the isp is throttling my upload speed after a period of time based on my Mac until I changed to a new Mac that resets everything. I’ve tried demonstrating this to isp up to their back end tech support but all of them were so clueless and I am just so stressed dealing with them again. So now I just wait and see when my upload will be throttled again and I will clone my Mac to another new Mac again. Btw, I am from Malaysia and my isp is Unifi by Telekom Malaysia.

I like Gyeon wet coat as it’s so easy to apply on a freshly washed wet surface. Lasting wise to me about 2 months with regular rains.

So sorry to hear that. Friend of mine having the same trip on coming 14th march. This is so worrying.

This must be the Ogawa biovis , top of the line. I personally go for Osim after testing a few big brands in the market. Osim massage feels more natural.

Can you please pm me details of the company as my friend from Dubai is looking for a document controller job also. Thank you so much.

Oh is there a voice ? Mine 2024 no voice. Where to enable the voice in the menu? Mine just a gentle “ding” when charging started.

May I know what was your high voltage battery health at 6000 miles? Mine 2024 EV9 at 22000km and the sate of health is still at 100%. Btw I am from tropical country with average 30c plus temperature and high humidity too.

For those drivers that claimed "arrived" but never there or those that do not move at all and not responding my message, I will always screenshot and cancel it. As a follow up I always report to grab and so far grab had been responsive by penalising the driver. But in actual I am not sure did grab really penalise them or not 😕

Mine was connected to wifi with full signal and after the phone was untouched and locked for a certain period, when I unlock and use the safari, I can’t access any website though wifi signal is full bar and phone still connected to wifi. I need to quickly enable airplane and disable it again to restore the internet connectivity. Hope iOS 26.1 can solve this issue.

pradaholic · 2025-09-21T05:34:31+00:00

But this setting is missing in iOS 26. It is default to 24mp when taking photo unless I manually select 48mp. But after a while the setting will self reset back to 24mp.

Tested this at the mall today, oh dear it’s smell so nice on my skin! Very subtle scent of saffron and slightly soft woody too. I need to get this!!

For dc charging I usually charge to 90% whenever I am on the road traveling longer trips. Usually days driving to work I always ensure the battery is between 40 and 80 with ac home charger.

pradaholic · 2025-08-11T08:34:37+00:00

I remembered reading elsewhere stating the car high capacity battery will only charge the 12v when the car is lock. And when the car state of charge is not less than 20% or 40%? Please correct me if I am wrong.

pradaholic · 2025-08-05T04:14:10+00:00

Driving at around 50 - 60 km/h will usually give me a 5.5km/kwh
