Maxis almost the same... Need to use warp vpn sometimes. Most of my home usage is legal streaming & browsing so mostly local traffic.

What examples do you have? I had many many issues with UNIFI and with maxis it is so much less

Mostly app like shopee/facebook not loading (image/post). Sometime MAE also stuck in between doing transaction.

I have unifi at work, yes I agreed Maxis is much less issue. But with warp vpn both can be settle, especially when you need to do something immediately.

Oh, I also got 5g with maxis. So it's more logical choice to have 2 different ISP for this time.

Are you using the default maxis router? Are you on public or private ip?
*
Nope. I using RB5009 with u6-pro as AP. I'm on private IP. Another reason to move coz they start charge RM10 for public IP.

My contract with Maxis is almost ending, early March, to be precise. Currently paying RM 129 for 500Mbps (upgraded from 300Mbps). By the time comes, I will apply for UniFi and hoping Maxis will counter offer me because I really don't want to setup all over again...

I don't mind RM 129 for 300Mbps because I'm only using it alone, so 300Mbps is more than enough for me alone. I just want to pay RM 129 or lesser. laugh.gif

I'm due to travel next week and will manage this when I come back from trip. Yes, I'm going to pay 149 in March, hopefully pro-rated if I can get it all sorted before next statement. tongue.gif

Anyone got counter offered by them recently?
*
They do offer 6 month free for RM129 / 300 Mbps.. You losing the speed since your payment 129 for 500 now.

i had to contact their fibre support (live chat through whatsapp) yesterday and they told me to do a wifi test from the Maxis app, it failed at 74%. After that they told me to do another speedtest with 5Ghz wifi and the speed is back to normal with 400+ Mbps. I'm not sure what they did but its fixed now and they told me to monitor. This morning the speed is also normal. Hoping it doesnt fall below 20 Mbps again tonight or any time this week because i'm on standby duty and need a reliable internet connection  sweat.gif

I think after my contract expires in a few days later, my plan gonna be RM 149 for 500Mbps. I don't think they will reduce my speed to 300Mbps after my contract expires? I'm sure they will increase the price from RM 129 to RM 149.
*
Can reduce to 300 even in contract. But current pricing (139) no extend contract. Better do Transfer Request, they will match the offer.

OK, here's an update for my case. I called Maxis, and this number, 1800-82-1230, no longer exists. We have to call 1800-82-1123 now. Let CS know about your transfer ID, and they will create a report for a callback.

So, I got a counter-offer from Maxis for RM 129 for 300Mbps, free for 8 months and tied with a 24-month contract. After the contract period, my account will remain at RM 129 for 300Mbps.

He can also offer me RM 89 for 100Mbps, but 100Mbps seems too little, and I'm comfortable with 300Mbps.

Initially, he told me my package is RM 149 for 500Mbps forever. I told him I didn't need the speed; I could reduce it to 300Mbps as that's the package I registered with UniFi.

Anyway, long story short, I'm staying back with Maxis. I prefer it this way. biggrin.gif

Update: Immediately my speed is reduced to 300Mbps now. laugh.gif From the free upgrade 500Mbps. laugh.gif I just checked on Speedtest. tongue.gif

It's more or less the same as TM. People have to ask for SWU only they will give, some got it when they threaten to port out. Both providers learn from each other trying to grab customer every 2 years.

My experience, Unifi you can ask before port out. Most of the time they got offer. Maxis nothing when you ask after end of contract. But when port out, they usually offer same thing as unifi. So need to do port out first.

No problem. I got a free upgrade to 100Mbps/RM89, and I still got 12 months to go for the original 30Mbps/RM89 contract. You can try & get the transfer id from Unifi. After sharing the transfer id with Maxis, they'll ask you to pay the remaining contracts at the Maxis store. Act dumb & say will try to find free time go. Then, wait for a couple of days. Someone from Maxis fiber will contact & help to upgrade to 100Mbps/RM89 (as per new instruction from the government). Good luck.

Dangerous step, what if Maxis just accept the Transfer. Auto bill 12 months without the need to provide the service.
