From feedback I got from some friends as well as some threads about it here:
1) Crappy Thomson router, even the crappy DIR-615 for TM is better.
2) Random disconnections
3) Recently, have this problem of your web access got redirected to MyLaunchPad page for unknown reasons.
4) Long wait for installation appointment
5) Private IP address, unless you specifically request for public IP with reasons.
IMHO, the low price offer by Maxis is a tactic to increase their subscriber base, and looks like they are quite successful in doing that at the time being.
Could you please list out the issues with Unifi?
I am really loving my Streamyx.
I am using a 4mb though at only RM88.
Got it under the UniPack promo back in September 2010.
But the contract will end on 16/09/12.
Now I need to either jump onto the Maxis Home or Unifi as if I want to enjoy a similar speed on Streamyx, I would need to spend >RM200! Which is crazy.
So I've decided on Maxis as it is much cheaper at RM118 compared to Unifi's VIP5 at RM150.
If Unifi VIP5 costs the same as Maxis 10mb, I would've taken Unifi hands down but
to save RM30 at twice the speed, it just seemed like a no brainer.
That's a huge saving!
However, I still don't mind paying the RM200 penalty for cancelling my subscription.
I've arranged for them to only fix Maxis early September so that I have enough time to monitor the situation at the Maxis thread
