Sad because I installed Unifi less than a month ago.
So happy with it. Can do my work smoothly as I use the internet a lot to upload photos and videos and watch YouTube and sometimes download movies.
When downloading movies, I can easily get 1mb. Sometimes up to 1.2mb.
Suddenly Astro offered me RM148 for 10mbps Maxis + a reduction for my Astro bill.
I am currently paying RM395/month;
RM200 for 10mbps Unifi and
RM195 for Astro.
The sales person said I will only pay RM150 for Astro and RM150 for Internet.
So that's
RM95 savings for me for the exact same speed.
And he said the Astro will be on Fiber as well so I won't have any problems when it rains.
Haih. I don't know whether I should jump to Astro/Maxis and pay the RM500 penalty to TM.
It will be worth it after 5 months when I recoup my losses but I am not sure if Maxis internet is reliable.
Previously I cancelled the RM118/month Maxis deal at the last minute before installation because of many horror stories here in LYN.
My neighbor opposite my house is using Maxis too and they never had any problems for the past 2-3 years.
Not even once they had to call the CS.
Father works from home using internet all the time and son is a gamer. Always in the house.
if you are not a gamer, Maxis would be fine. my family is using maxis, and i am using unifi. the cost saving would be great. it is just that the router is bad. and for IPTV users, you cant change to a different router as it won't work. YouTube streams can be choppy at times, but generally, maxis has been okay la for me.
it is all about cost and trade offs really. that extra savings can be put into retirement fund.
