That's the angle which many users do not mention.

I signed up for the rm118 deal. For that, I got:

a) 10mbps up and down. I'm not much of an online gamer, so I have no complaints on the ping issue (although that has improved a lot since the early days). My downloads (unlimited so far) are super fast and upload (pictures, dropbox, etc) also no complaints.
b) I get 200 mins IDD to 20 countries, including places relevant to me like UK and Australia, so I save easily rm30-50 per month on that.
c) I get 600 mins for my house phone to call Maxis mobile phones. As many of my family and friends are on Maxis, that's a real saving.
d) There's also 150 free minutes added to my personal Maxis mobile line

I was on Unifi before this, paid rm150 fpr 5 mbps which included IPTV which I never watched, and got free calls to TM fixed line phones (how many friends do you know use that?). And calls to mobile were expensive.

So for me, the numbers were compelling. In fact, I paid the rm500 penalty to TM to break my contract. Though, I must say, there have been some hiccups along the way, but nothing so bad that I would want to give up the service...

thats the use of the DNS from unblock-us (a paid service). been using all this while on my Unifi's d-link.

Does this mean where unifi is avail, maxis is surely too?

If routing is different... how is maxis latency for games.. .say dota2... and do they perform any kind of throttling?

unifi throttling vs maxis throttling (if any) .. any comments?

what specifically is very bad?

if UNXXX terbalik right? at noon throttled but night dont right ?

Desperate to terminate it after 4 month of usage on this 148 package, really cant tahan they throttle the torrent speed all day long now.. (before that the throttling was only start after 8pm, but since I make a complaint & show them my download speed on utorrent, they just fu*ked up my speed even worst, how stupid am I..), what use of 10mbps if cant download?? Really regret to subscribe, do u guys stastify with the service so far? Am I the only one sufferer? Reaally think about to pay the 500RM penalty fee instead of remaning contract monthly fees..

YouTube loading is bullshit, it's so slow, sometimes YouTube automatically changes the quality to a lower quality. This is happening all day long.
Not only that, but even loading pictures tend to be slow.
Especially on other computers/laptops connected to the home network.

Hopefully next year we will get better ISPs.. maybe TIME 100Mbps

anyone near seksyen 18 shah alam have fibre connection issue ?

i called maxis and they said tm doing some upgrading.

almost 2 days dont have internet already/

So to Maxis or not to Maxis? Help lol.
I am going to TM today to discuss my contract for moving or new sign up.

Do you guys suffer massive slowdown in download speed from some US and Europe site since last week. My company is using Maxis 32M BizFibre and we really heavily for the connection to Amazon cloud US for daily operation, the download speed I get get now is only 10-15KB/s with direct connection (no other traffic). With the other leased line and also Unifi at my home, I can easily get 300-400KB/s. I also tested in my brother house (which use Maxis Homefibre 10M), the speed is very slow too.

Already complained to Maxis they don't seems to bother, just told me still investigating, now says wanna send people over to check. Really sucks. Send people to check also no use, its peering and routing problem.

Touch wood... been great for me so far...

Touch wood... been great for me so far...

I've switched from UNIFI 5Mbps to Maxis 10Mbps and I'm quite regretful.
Maxis Fiber Home is VERY unstable. 1 day I'll get great speed and other days it's just SLOW, I mean worse than Streamyx slow.
I read Maxis Forum which teaches to power cycle sequence which I follow, but I start to believe Maxis is now cheating us. Let me explain.
1. I am trying to apply for Maxis Forum account but it does not go past 1st page. 'Proceed to step 2' never work. I think too many complaints Maxis doesn't want any people to join
2. I try speedtest on both speedtest.maxis.com.my and speedtest.net (i chose singapore). Both are by OOKLA. Both also shows close to 10Mbps speed. hor seh right? wrong!! You exabyte speedtest and only has 200+ kbps!! I then close all test and open new browser windows, try normal page like google search, facebook, youtube and it's damn 9 slow. Immediately try speedtest.net, it shows close to 10Mbps!!

Damn Maxis!!!

wow, seriously? 

currently using unifi 5.. contract ends this march.. thinking of subscribing to astro byond iptv..

i do know i'll get 10mbps for 148.. n rm 108 for superpack 1. total RM256.
currently unifi 5 (149) n superpack 1 RM141 total RM290.

i'll get to save rm34 n get twice the speed n get unaffected astro by weather.

Question is, how about the reliability of both services (astro n internet)?

have you guys ever experienced a downtime? is it frequent?

currently with unifi, got problems too but very rare so i'll say it's pretty reliable n consistent.

but what is your say for byond iptv?

coz my sis will need a stable connection coz she'll work from home for Shell cyberjaya from time to time. she couldnt afford to have an erratic connection.


thanks guys. 

oh btw, i live in bandar tun hussein onn.
UPDATE: oh crap.. i just read 2 pages back n got scared already.. 

it cant be all that bad right? but, i dont want to keep on discovering the things that i can n cant do when im already tied up to the contract for a freaking 2 years!!

maxis die hard fan, say something!

Maxis rents fibre wholesale from TM. If those using streamyx or Unifil have problems, the same goes to Maxis fibre.
SKMM should check on TM instead of just blasting telcos. For example, I signed up for 4Mbps streamyx but in less than 1 year, the download speed decreased from 3.65Mbps to 1.6Mbps. I suspect they are not adding capacity eventhough they are already suffering network congestion.
The CEO of Maxis said in an interview: "it is challenging to work with TM"

Mmmm..... Streamyx 1 to 4mb still using copper, that's why unstable. But how can it impact the stability of unifi? That is why to move to fibre as it is more stable. Who said refuse to upgrade my streamyx?
Maxis not only utilize the last mile, but also the traffic from tm. The only part they put in is the authentication server and connectivity to their astro iptv. But i suspect they have put in qos and/or policies which may impact the surf experience.

So which one u decide???
