Hey folks,
After holding off on signing up for Unifi or Maxis FTTH for a while to see how things developed, I'm about ready to sign up for one. Right now, I'm definitely leaning towards Unifi, despite the 5MB difference in speed being offered. I do realize both Unifi and Maxis FTTH have their fair share of problems and unhappy customers, and being a screamyx subscriber, I've had more than my fair share of dealing with TM helpdesk.
So why I'm leaning towards Unifi?
1. High ping rates on Maxis due to routing issues. While I don't game, I assume that high ping will affect other things like video conferencing.
2. No issue with private / public ip.
3. Better options for router / modem replacement
4. HyppTV - give my sis something to watch to keep her off the net, even if it's just free channels.
5. Throttling?? I know Maxis users are complaining about getting throttled from 8pm-2pm, while Unifi users seem to come back with mixed responses, some complaining of slow downloading while most of my friends on Unifi are not having issues. Can anyone clarify?
6. Ethics...I'm not saying TM is particularly ethical, but I really dislike how the new Maxis FTTH promotion ad blatantly states unlimited quota, when we all know it's just until further notice. At least Unifi is a bit more upfront about the quota. Traffic shaping is another story, of course.
7. The devil you know...after all these years as a TM customer, I sort of know what to expect.
So, did I get anything wrong? Or miss out anything?
