Managed to hit these speeds doing the following activity.

1) Uploading a few GB of files from my office to my file server in my home running on Unifi 20mbps

2) Downloading from fileserve.

only + for Maxis FTTH compares to Unifi so far i have noticed is the ping time from speedtest.net, Maxis is faster by 20-30ms by testing several locations (MY, SG, HK, etc.)

How about the speed degradation factor during the whole AAG Cable downtime all these while?

Any difference noticed?

sorry i wasn't aware of any downtime at my home's maxis ftth..so unable to compare.


Latest news published in local newspaper's finance section mentioned about maxis's outlook in the ftth market sector. Apparently, the ftth sales promotion isn't attacting enough... The 'cap' is lifted but only till the end of the year, and that will surely be losing out to its nearest competitors(u can guess who of course) who have yet to announce when the 'cap' will be turned on. Hence, overall not a very bright outlook to 6012.KL in the next quarter or so...

Apart from leasing Unifi's infrastructure, Maxis has their own FTTH network in progress.

In general, Maxis provides better equipment and support overall.

Both uptime and service quality are also considered more professional.

Hi guys,

While my home still crying for Unifi,

I came across Maxis Home 4Mbps package (RM128)

and their agent..

[1] Check at Unifi Website, my home area no unifi coverage
[2] Check at Maxis website, got Maxis Home coverage

So they say if I register before 31 dec 2011...I will get my Maxis Home line quota uncapped for next 2 years (until contract finish)..and installation fee will be waived.

Can I trust the coverage information and no-quota for next 2 years information?

no quota for next 2 year

which agent can guarantee i also want to subscribe, can i have contact number

if maxis website have, mean running on maxis fiber not hsbb.

No quota for next two years is surely new... Best is to ask them what kind of Black n white guarantee is available.

any idea what the capping speed after exceed the quota for maxis & unifi

my concern is 2 years contract, i don't want to stuck with 128Kbps

happy with streamyx (truly uncap) just recent implant soft cap 1Mbps, miss my 1.5Mbps

017 3392997 (Foo)

Fiber better than hsbb, not?

Letme know if you have detailed info yah

maxis have they own fiber, but coverage is very limited

hsbb/unifi is expand very fast, maxis riding over their fiber

if area is maxis, u lock with maxis forever

if yr area unifi, can pick unifi or maxis (this is where i like)

I talked to a dependable source from Maxis, the cap is still be lifted next year. Once TM Unifi started to cap they will also follow, the reason is to get more subscribers.

unifi currently no cap...maxis not sure...planning to subscribe one... currently stick on P1...maybe will terminate next month(still in contract)..

surfing with free wireless at puchong permai...provided by P1 also..more fast than my home P1.. lot of open wireless coverage...always full bar...speed also ok...

Removed the "sucks big time!" from the topic, as the topic starter's rant somehow derailed to become a proper discussion thread... (how often does this happen)

saw a maxis drilling machine outside my condo, hopefully its for the fibre optic! I'm dying for faster internet speed!!!

good call... but still if Maxis could, by default, gives everyone a public IP like what unifi does, this would be wonderful and it sucks no one anymore..

There's little complain about Maxis ADSL on Lowyat. Almost none except for the NAT issue.

Downtime is almost non existent unless there's a major fault and excellent technical support which adheres to the 2 weeks resolution when reporting faults.

Their technicians and engineers are more dedicated and take complains seriously on network faults.

Those who dealt with their provisioning and network team would know how big the difference is between Maxis and TM.

anybody using maxis ftth for ps3 ? is it recommended or not ?

if you need port-forwarding in your ps3, you may have problem then.. Maxis is generally giving out private IP and based on forummer's past experience you can't do port-forwarding in maxis router..

i see thanks for the info
