for me,i'm using unifi, it sucks too much...ping test failed in Europe and us... speed is depressing too...

choose maxis,it's like choosing a bad broadband(if all the horror stories were true) instead of a worst one.

Hello Guys ~~

Just wanna ask is the maxis fiber getting any better now?
i just move back from singapore and currently renting a room at Sunway Area Ridzuan Condo (8th floor), Just opposite Sunway Pyramid Petaling Jaya.

How's the Maxis Fiber reception over there?
Can anybody advice? plan to get the 10mbps package though
I'm a gamer and a quite heavy downloader as well (Movie and MVs)

go for unifi for stable connection. Slightly expensive wont cost you much... Go for maxis if you want nightmare

If you are gamer , it's better to not take Maxis. Some users says that Maxis Ping's for gaming is quite high and suitable to play games.

Guys, after reading so many negative comments about maxis fiber internet, I have
decided not to shift from unify to maxis. Thanks guys, thanks for sharing info

Me too, though my UniFi contract is over and got called by Maxis & Astro (both hard selling) - decided to cancel my registration after checking out the Maxis Home Fibre reviews. Thanks all for sharing

I need some advice. I recently moved to Malaysia. I rented a condo (in OG Heights) and now I want to subscribe to Unifi. Every time I tried to register, they keep getting my address wrong.

It seems my condo is not in their system so they keep selecting an address of another person who is my neighbour (my condo block name is Pearl Tower but they selected Jade Tower block). It happened 3 times and then I got fed up, went to TM Tower and told them about it. The customer service guy was nice and understanding. He told me to cancel my order and he'll create a new one with a complaint saying my address is not in the system. So they will add my address and process my order.

I did that last week. This week I got the order confirmation email and once again, the address is wrong.

I know they have TM service in my block. I saw an address for 19th floor in Pearl Tower. But they can't seem to get my address correctly. It's really frustrating me.

I would really like to know what I can do to get this sorted. I need Internet urgently and I've been using the Mobile Broadband for which I run out of limit (I'm a heavy user). Please advice on what I can do for my issue.

Hi All, Planning to install fiber internet. But confuse whether subscribe unifi 5MB or maxis 10MB... i am not a gamer.. mostly i just surf and download ( Torrent)... which one i should choose? Kindly advise me guys.... Appreciate your feedback.. TQ

wow. if based on this thread those who complain about maxis are telekom/unifi staffs, seems they have achieved the job of scaring away unifi people from trying a new provider.

i'm still on the fence at the moment and will poll my area for existing users and see their results because maxis fiber + the astro package & being an existing postpaid customer is a very very good deal to simply ignore.

For surfing, either is fine.. it upload the contents to ur browser just fine. u only need to compare on the monthly subscription and the practicality of the VOIP phone.. which i recommend Unifi. Even calling id abroad is cheap, Maxis advertise they can get Indonesia IDD etc but the truth is the services are no longer available and of coz they didnt took it out from their website the last time i checked. I dont know bout the rest of the remaining countries tho. In term of speed.. MAXIS BAD! unless the fiber line are from Maxis itself.It is inconsistent and for 10Mbps user like myself. Im merely getting 300kB top ( Please dont asked me if im using torrent or Filesharing or what iv already tested most and 1 to 1). Regarless ur speedtest download will go above 10Mbps.. which i think alot of misslead info. Go figure anyway. Problem is im stuck with 2 years contract. SO choose ur telco wisely as for my remaining opinion .. Hate it or not Unifi is still better.

dude exactly i got the same problem, and when i said EXACT it EXACYLY! , twice or thirds time got wrong address on unifi. and cancle order twice. then suddenly they offer to use maxis. and someone from maxis center will call you. to confirm. they advice if we heavy internet user or want iptv, then i said i use internet alot so they prefer maxis 10mbps RM148. but im still considered about that.

hi all,

Anyone can please tell me hows the overall service both from maxis and astro for this iptv service ( from installation up to current usage of it)?

I went through alot of forums and majority had huge complaints on this service. Eg. Delayed installation date (Up to 1 months time), poor WIFI signal due to router fault.. etc.

Plan to subscribe for the this astro iptv service but after reading all the review, i guess its not the right time yet. Any comments or feedback from user who had subscribed to this service? Any1 esp from landed property in Subang Jaya who had done so?


Much appreciated

Thank you

Any reviews regarding TIME Unlimited Fibre?
http://www.time.com.my/consumer/time_fibre...d_unlimited.asp

Anyway, I suggest do not go for Maxis. Even their broadband sucks big time.

guys, I signed up unifi this morning for my new hose, just wondering how much to pay to the contractor since the promotion stated that it will be free installation.

my house is already equipped with fiber wiring for maxis n unifi. how much aa? i afraid i have to pay.

installation is free if the cable not exceed 15m

Got a phone call from TM telling me that they're collaborate with maxis. My equipment and network will be using TM's and I will pay monthly bill to maxis. RM148 for 10Mbps + Free calls to landlines and 100 minutes to maxis mobile. Sooo excited

Wait so now TM Unitfi is RM148 for 10mbps?

paying bill to maxis means it's maxis fibre. Even if you install maxis fibre, hardware are still from TM until the BTU. Router will be maxis's.

Anyway, seems like you will be getting maxis fibre rm148 package. If you don't do torrent downloads then fine. But if you download a lot then maxis might not be that suitable cause they block torrents and sometimes enforce fair usage policy. However, this is not fully enforced yet. Even unifi also some area they enforce torrent throttling.

I also do not understand the part where you apply for unifi but they give you maxis. Can I know where you apply from? TMpoint or some agent?

I'm going to move to Selayang end of this month and thinking of subscribing fiber broadband, having the same dilemma between Unifi 5mbps and Maxis 10mbps since both price is pretty much the same.

I'm a gamer both on my PS3 and my gaming laptop,so a stable connection is a must for multiplayer

which one should I choose???

I don't want to be stuck with a 24 months contract with poor connection

so far very happy with my 5mb unified no complain on speed or worry about disconnection. To my suprise is hypp tv now lots more better than asteruk just subscribe mega pack which have all channel include latest epl with only rm50 .
My frens using maxis have problem keep disconnect thats really hurt when happen during downloading. And worst is that during 8pm onwards speed becomes 1.5mbs lols thats suck. Overall i think unified more expensive but less hassle maxis not stable customer service sucks.
