Maxis Telesales called me today offering 500Mbps RM 89 & 1Gbps RM 119 lifetime price. Worth to transfer over from Unifi ?

They didn’t offer me new line since I’m using 199 plan already. Yup so far so good with unifi will opt for a try 😬

Thank you for the information. I guess safer to stick with unifi since I work from home. Speed of restoration is important for me.

I had broken underground fiber twice due to rat frew years ago. Last repair they do splicing,  not sure if my cable can get very good reading for 1 Gb. Furthermore,  Maxis mobile coverage is not great in my area. Maybe next round.

So not Unifi level of bad then?
Geez, U is not usable in the night recently

It is really bad, basically everynight from 7PM onwards the internet is basically unusable
And my traffic was gettting routed to random COUNTRIES instead of the closest servers
Such things never happened during my 2 years with Maxis
Cloudflare speedtest PL and latency is over the rooft, plus only getting 10% of my subscribed speed as bonus
Yes, Maxis is not the top ISP in my mine but they are the most average one for sure
I had to cancelled my online tuitions because it was bad enough I couldnt open online materials

Because of the horrible routing, I considered taking Allo (either directly or Maxis under their infra) as my backup fibre plan while I serve Unifi's contract for another 18 months.
My area is covered by both Allo and Unifi's infra, after checking with Allo's CS they told me it is impossible for customer to have both Unifi and Allo service in the same premise despite they are on different infra.

my contract will end on 23rd October, waiting for something good too.

I've never heard of any processing fees when renewing contract
Safest way is to call Maxis's marketing team

I went to their office to understand further...
They said it's the same transfer request they doing and the 100 rm is for them to try and retry till I get the offer I want.. And also teach me how to nego with maxis when do they retention call to get  the 6 months free/50 inch TV... Rm 100 Refundable if I don't get what I want.....

Bcoz frankly speaking I want to remain with maxis so I can get the unlimited mobile data with my post paid....

My only concern is if I request to transfer to unifi, but no retention call frm maxis, then will I be screwed and landed up have to proceed with unifi?

I remember 2 years ago when I recontract, the will make a 1st call to confirm our request for transfer.... (iirc, 1st call has little to no attempt to retain u with any offers whatsoever )

Then after that when u go to maxis center to do something.... Then there will be another 2nd call to retain u and offering u the goodies...

Not sure what's the process now but I think some1 did mentioned it has been streamlined d.....? So I just don't want to get caught without any retention attempt frm maxis end... Lol.

Nevertheless, back to default Maxis router. Hopefully that isolates one lesser problem to troubleshoot.

Ah yes. The infamous Maxis Router that doesn't allow space. Not sure if you could try this as space for your SSID.

Alt-0173 for an invisible character

Alt-0160 for a visible space

It looks like my issue could be a faulty modem. My LAN2 or LAN 1 just doesn’t lit up. Called Maxis and they suspected it’s a modem issue and will be replacing my modem. Hopefully it solves the problem.

Now I don’t have Internet to use. The earliest TM can replace is on Thursday but I will be away from home for a couple of days until weekend. Let’s wait for their reschedule call tomorrow.

The classic plug-unplug resolution.

If it works, it ain't silly. Haha

I went and bought a fibre cleaner and clean it whenever I feel like it.



I like the Huawei Modem HG8240H GPON terminal. It's really solid stuff.

Suggest not to mess with it, can cause more harm than good. 

I suspect the fiber connector deteriorated after all these years which is a common fault

If you want, get their technical to test the fiber reading and replace the connector if fiber reading is bad, they might be able to test it remotely

When the fibre team came to troubleshoot my network issue , I was curious on the tools they were using. Hence I just bought one and keep it for self cleaning only when I needed it.

It's to remove dust and keep the out the contaminants. But if you don't unplug it often, it shouldn't have any at the first place due to contact point of the fibre connectivity itself.

Best to just call the technical team and they'll come sort out anyways. (Part of the paid service)

Anyone got call from Maxis agent offering switch from Unifi to Maxis 500Mbps for RM89, contract 2 year and price valid for lifetime? Is it legit?
