Nice offer, seems they finally follow TM footstep to give perpetual discounts.

Go Astro register first, tell them you transfer from Maxis. They should provide transfer ID for you to submit to Maxis.

On Maxis group, some said yes but some had to call Maxis to reinstate the rebate upon noticing that it is missing.

Do not apply termination, instead apply to switch to Unifi, then call Maxis to get counter offer. Broadband providers are playing such tricks to each other nowadays.

This one is done on my Maxis fibre on TM infra. I'm from east M'sia so there may be difference.

Ok, same then, from Kuching. I believe it's routing from Maxis side. Not sure if there's difference for those under Sacofa Infra or Maxis NGBB.

Conflict of interest... Other providers always become stepchild.

Well, it's already a known thing that other providers riding on the infra being treated second class. From speed capped, port splitting, slow tech responses etc. They jaga their own customer first.

That is probably one of the way, move to Unifi and subscribe higher package that they have to assign you a dedicated port. But if your housing taman port full, then no.

Yeah, I can still recall the persuasion when I tried to port out from Unifi. The marketting officer try to counter by telling 1001 stories on how customers have came back saying that provider X always has slow network issues etc. I move on regardless, and I can see some of the limitation they impose on other providers.

Your area using Maxis NGBB infra? If yes then should be cheaper.

Then it's better... from 149 to 99 but maintain 300mbps. We who use TM infra can only envy that offer for NGBB customers.

Yes I'm also on Maxis Fibre under TM infra. Switch over for the 6 months free and also because I'm paying without free upgrade on Digi Fibre.

Just go for it. Make sure to apply from proper agent or Maxis centre. Usually promo is free 6 months for switching.

If you run on TM infra then quite impossible for Maxis to do anything. Some TM OLT are known to have speed capped for non Unifi users.
If you want to try get beyond 920mbps maybe can get custom ONU from Anime4000

The mod ONU can override some of the OMCY provision, quite likely you can reach that 1gb ceiling. Most even on Unifi will get around 940mbps due to device bottleneck, example 1gb lan port. Whether it is worth to try or not depend on you.

I feel Maxis fibre still perform well during peak hours as compare to many complaint from Unifi users. Better they stay as it is rather than throw price like TM but shit connection at night.
As for goodies, after out of contract you have to try to port out to Unifi then they will call and offer something.

Can try check out their topic here. Though not many Celcom digi fibre users are active.

Go request port out to Unifi, Maxis will counter offer you.

Normal if Maxis on TM infra. TM is known to capped other provider at near exact speed or slightly lower, and there is nothing Maxis can do. That is why who own the infra is the king.
Of course there are some who will counter this argument because they are lucky they didn't get capped.

MCMC guideline mandated that fixed broadband service provider should achieve 90% of the advertised speed 90% of the time. If you get 90% of the subscribed speed, ISP will just close your report. I believe you can create a new report with MCMC to fight your case, your download is just around 800+ which still low.
I have also argue this with Maxis before as they capped the subscribed speed around 90%. I still stay on at least no need to suffer internet slowness at night like Unifi. But maybe if one day my hand itchy, I may open a case with Maxis and MCMC again.

Keep us updated ya. Afaik those speed capped is depend on luck, it is not implemented across all TM OLT. There are some technical explanation on the custom ONU thread.

Definitely.
