actually maxis can monopolized the market if they could just pay attention to what the consumer wants
1. low ping
2. no capped for torrenting
3. no caped for streaming
4. no capped for P2P file sharing
5. dont block site unnecessarily

thats all i am asking for

my requirement is only item 1... that also they cannot fulfill... ping is worse than streamyx...
embarrassing for fibre line...

Wahh if like that how to watch Astro IPTV with Maxis fibre?

Astro IPTV run a a different bandwidth "line"

imagine inside the fiber optic got many small wires
then they will use one of the wire dedicated for IPTV
this is what i understand lo... but i might be wrong

hi guys, im want to subscribed to fibre connection, my area only has unifi and maxis fibre. i know both fibre has many compliant but as many forummer sugested its better to ask first..
i live in taman putra/pandan mewah . any forummer lives in here and using maxis mind telling me how is the download speed for 10mbps and the ping time?
many thanks

im not in that area but if you dont play online games and dont do lots of torrent and can survive with ping >150ms then go maxis else unifi. AREA is not in the equation for choosing between unifi / maxis

Thanks for the reply ,I'm really tempted to install the astro iptv and still in dilemma what fibre company to choose ..

if you going to put in the equation of ASTRO IPTV, then go for MAXIS cause HYPE TV SUCKS!
im more of a torrent guy or direct stream

That means viewing 1080HD on youtube will lag if using Maxis Fibre 10mbps?

Not really... Streaming Youtube 1080HD without a problem here...

So what are the example of direct streaming that has problems? Torrenting also got problem?

Qvod, baiduplayer
sure problem

pplive, ppstream

not sure about baidu player but qvod, pplive and ppstream are not direct streaming.. its using p2p.
BTW, I've used 3 of it (qvod, pplive and ppstream), I dont face any problem using these 3 softwares.. every time stream smooth..

im thinking of switching from unifi to maxis. Is is worth while? izzit really fast and reliable? 10mbps for rm148 seems so good.

during 8PM to 2AM ? wow i am jealous!
anyway maxis capped is weird sometimes capped sometimes not

Well.. frankly speaking it gonna be like a hit and a miss... Some user reporting good service and some user reporting bad... Ping for online game is bad compare to even streamyx... And some user reporting cap speed when using p2p apps...

hmmm. I'm guessing there's more of a bad service than good. Sigh~ thanks for sharing anyways, maybe i should stay with unifi.

However, maxis iptv and maxis fibre package sounds to tempting... haihhhhh! headache!

Like I said it's a hit & miss... My only issue with maxis fiber is high ping for online game... I currently don't have any issue with p2p (torrent the only I use (in b4 some angry bcoz I post this))...

Also Maxis IPTV available already..? Still can't find a way to register it except for ROI only...

Hey guys. I'm currently using 1mpbs streamyx and can no longer live with such slow speeds, so i'd like to upgrade to fibre soon. Now my questions is which should I choose? Should i go for UniFi or Maxis Home Fibre?

Can you please list down the pros v cons of the two?

From what I know or understand so far, maxis home fibre seems to be the better deal because it's 148/month for 10mpbs while unifi is 149/month for 5mpbs?

I'd also like further info;
1)whether installation service, etc is free or charged
2)which is more stable? i seen people complaining about unifi being slow while I also see people saying that maxis fibre doesn't allow torrent or p2p.. and then there are people saying that maxis home fibre ping is high? Is this true? as I often play online games and this would be bad right?
3)does unifi or maxis home fibre cap torrent speeds?
4)and what about add-ons like for example unifi got the hypp thingy.. I tried reading it myself on the web but I don't really understand it :s

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I have came across TIME also.. It seems TIME kills off unifi and maxis home fibre without a doubt.. 100mbps @ rm180/month(100gb quota) or minimum is 8mbps @ rm130/month(unlimited, not even a "until furthre notice" it's just plain unlimited) .. anyone have any say on this? Hmm..
