Currently we (4 users) are on Maxis 128 package with 2x RM48 sub-lines and 1x RM38 sub-line. Total monthly bills are around RM280 per month.

Also my Unifi contract has expired, so it's time to look for a new package. Maxis Family Plan seems a good option to replace as I'll get the 4 lines + broadband for RM299 (RM317 after tax), which is still slightly cheaper than my current plan + broadband.

But with the recent free speed upgrade, this Family Plan at 30mbps seems not so attractive anymore. Would like to ask, for 4 lines + home broadband, what are the other better alternatives available? Can recommend some packages?

Thanks

Can try to have a look at the new Celcomdigi postpaid.

Try to do some calculation to see whether the line plus fibre fit your needs.

thanks, looks good with the 300mbps broadband included. but for celcom/digi unlimited plan, any idea about their fair usage policy? any limit on the gb before the speed is reduced? tried to find the faq but not so clearly mentioned.

also is celcom/digi broadband using unifi backbone? the same as for maxis?

thanks

I do not have any info on the FUP for unlimited plan as this is a new postpaid offer under their new branding.
Celcomdigi is using Unifi backbone, same as Maxis. Hence it is advisable you use the transfer method when switching your fibre plan to avoid port taken.

Here is a follow-up on the FUP for each plan.

great, thanks for the info.

as for roaming. so far I check and experienced celcom xpax is the best and most value @rm98 for 30 days
unlimited data @ 2GB per day

what's the cheapest postpaid plan available regardless of usage? other than redone rm8?

Hotlink Postpaid 30, YES Power 35, Umobile U38.

yes25 is the best IMHO
unlimited data and call

Currently on old legacy DiGi unlimited 150. I read that it won't be getting 5g like the new digi unlimited plans.

I'm looking for ones that doesn't have any contract, that'll work on my 4g modem until I can upgrade to a 5g one. Some telco's have promos for borneo states right.

I'm looking into umobile's u home 5g plan. which others doesn't have contract?

Hi,
want to check if any prepaid plan can be used in a wifi modem/router for data?
getting some conflicting answers some saying yes/no.

correct
the answer is YES and NO

onexox prepaid - YES
celcom xpax - NO
digi prepaid unlimited - NO
digi prepaid limited kouta - YES
umobile prepaid - NO
yes prepaid - YES

hi all sifu, been more than 7 years i didnt update myself on available mobile plans, as i know, damn maxis will not inform me and act stupid and keep farming me on my old more expensive plan. please recomend a post paid plan

requirements
- good internet coverage (maxis is known to be good for this), is it still the case? or any telco now more or less same nowadays?

In Malaysia no telco is superior. Use what ever is good at your location.
New Hotlink Postpaid and prepaid:

Umobile plan:

thanks sifu, but hor, the umobile 68 looks too good to be true for me. will get my butt to a u mobile shop when i see one as i still have some unanswered questions.

Hahah, I'm no sifu. Just saying that beside cheap plan, coverage is very important. If you really want to go all out, get a prepaid sim to test.
Yes also very cheap nowadays, but only good if your area has strong 5g.

Want to switch out from my XOX postpaid 38.

Main reason being the roaming charge is expensive (RM38 per day). I dont have any problem with 8Gb/month as it is my secondary data line, my company provide me with a 30-40gb data plan.

any suggestion for a low commitment telco that is not maxis and providing E-sim?

Yoodo. Roaming only rm5 a day if not mistaken

China roaming is not cheap at rm20 per day or 240 per 15 days.. hmm.. but their month to month is really cheap
