Need to get some feedback... I'm shifting to a new place and since my current contract with Unifi (20Mbps) was already over since last July, I'm tempted to switch to Maxis. More so with the new offer that Maxis is offerring. Is it a wise move? Keep hearing connection problems with Maxis. I have nothing but pleasant experience with Unifi. No broken connections or throttled downloads from what I can see.

I save RM 300 required to move my Unifi connection from current to new place. Don't watch the HyppTV and therefore won't miss a thing if I go with Maxis. I will pay RM 51 less every month for the same speed as I have now with Unifi. Alternatively, I can have faster 30Mbps speed at RM 1 less every month than what I'm currently paying.

I don't game and I don't torrent but I download movies heavily. I download using paid premium accounts. Thanks.

I have been using Maxis for 10 days now under private IP. No disconnection, no slow down. My brother's torrent is running fine. The TG799vn router has no issue at all. Since you don't game. The high ping issue won't bother you much.

Based on your requirement... Go for Maxis Home Fibre.

If you not tight budget, my advice is don't go for Maxis. Not worth for the hassle.
I thought my Maxis fibre finally settle down and should be happy with it after so many issue popping up in a month, this is my second month... new problem still showing up. Now i'm with 799vn with no disconnection since day one 24/7 operation.

Add on :
One more thing, my torrent and p2p start being throttled download. Different is 80% slower than first month. I seldom torrent and p2p but i do need it once a month or twice.

Source for testing - Highest Seed and on top speed condition on speedtest with cable and 3 days continuously test.

P2P now is worst than my old 1mb streamyx.
Thanks for the input guys. The more I read, the more I get the impression that it's a draw of luck? Anybody here with 20Mbps and 30Mbps package? Are disconnection and high ping times problems only isolated to the 10Mbps customers?

From what I gather, the consensus seem to point to the problematic router. I'm made to understand that if I use my own router (Asus RT-56U), I should have no disconnection problems, right?

Anyway, I'm very tempted to go the Maxis route since till today, TM has not contacted me to fix an appointment on when I can do the relocation to my new place. Perhaps, nobody gets any commission for existing customers...
