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..

hey. can you refer to my post, 1 post above yours.. I'm currently planning whether to go for unifi or maxis.. Hope you can help me!

any disadvantage of fttb(fibre then copper) compared to ftth(fibre all the way to house) ?

Ahh. Okay, then it is somewhat comforting to know that.. I live in condo and heard it will be fttb.. So I worried it will not be as smooth/stable/good as ftth...

What cap you talking about? Download cap? Both maxis and unifi got download cap but is NOT implemented yet.. If one of the telco implement it, im pretty sure the other will follow soon..

If you talking about p2p/torrent cap. Then yes, maxis cap your speeds from 8pm-2am daily to around 0.5mbps ~ 1mbps... Unifi doesn't...

Kena throttle la tu.. 8pm-2am

Yes they do. and it's limit from 10mbps to 0.5mbps.. 50kpbs dl speed... can do what?

if im not mistaken it's 8-2am. and they throttle to 0.5mbps...

Online gaming is definitely a no-no.
Torrenting when not during the throttle period is okay..

10mbps? That's considered low. You should be getting at least 1mbps/dl

My unifi 5mbps im getting around 500~600kbps/dl

Slow means slow la. Haha. Trying to comfort yourself eh? Call Maxis up about it, you should be getting around 1mbps for 10mbps. if you're only getting 500~600, that's like unifi 5mbps plan..

Welcome to Maxis, their stock router is shit. Go get yourself another router..

Nothing good to comment about so how to give good comments?

Conclusion:

If you game and torrent 24/7, Unifi would be better.

If you dont game at all but stream/download and torrent anytime other than 8pm-2am, Maxis will be better.
