some people, they only look at cost of tv.
if you account only the tv installment, it's RM21/mth.
that is RM756 for 36mth.

some people, they want to see total cost of ownership.
Difference between 500Mbps and 100Mbps is (RM219 - RM129) = RM90.
if you account having to upgrade AND tv installment, it's RM111/mth.
that is RM3996 for 36mth.

some people also want to account SST. but input it aside as it just makes presentation more difficult.

Zerolution - pay 24mth to own it. now have 36mth option.
Zerolution360 - pay 24mth and return it. OR, continue paying penalty to 30mth(??) to own it.

i think maxis already stopped offering Zerolution360. Now only Zerolution.

i check my existing maxis bill w/ mobile zerolution devices;
devices not hit with 6% SST. only mobile+broadband gets taxed.

so it will be projected increase of ((RM90+6% + RM21) = RM116.40/mth.

RM3996.00 before tax,
RM4190.40 with SST on the fibre subscription portion.

still way below RM6700 RRP if pay lump sum price today, right?!

i took ipad air 5th generation some time before covid-19 became a threat. RM91(?) for device. RM28 for the line.

RM18 only have its own quota; no sharing, have to buy add-on if finished.
RM28 on the other hand joins and increases the shared pool with other main+suppl.
i had 160GB/mth in the pool.
after i subscribe fibre, all become unlimited (*mumble* *something* 300GB hidden-but-not-hidden mobile internet FUP across account)

you cannot subscribe the RM18 and RM28 on their own.
only if you buy device from maxis.
(salesgirl lamented that even she can't get it for her pre-existing ipad.)

i .... actually didn't check out the model number in my euphoria of selling my soul to maxis. again.

check out those random strangers as relative size comparison.

it was good deal to me even if nett device price did not differ much. the SIM plan is special, as it taps into my shared pool that otherwise is underutilised.

Maxis Postpaid Tablet Plan

Plan 18; comes with quota for its own use only. Buy more data if finished.

Plan 28; comes with quota that adds to the shared pool of mainline.

only available for Apple tablets purchased from Maxis.
I already paid 24mth, but can continue to maintain the RM28 line.

The tablet line is part of your account, but does not count as a supplementary line. maxis limits the number of supplementaries based on your primary plan level. in my case postpaid 128, i have 2 supplementaries AND a tablet plan, don't need to upgrade to postpaid 158 (3 supplementaries).

E.g.
main postpaid 128 have 70GB to share, 2 supplementaries add 60GB, tablet SIM adds another 30GB; so total available for all SIMs in the pool is 160GB. If sign up fibre, then pool becomes unlimited.  (but, FUP total for all mobiles in the account is 300GB)

maxis installed my fibre in may. i added the tv the previous weekend.

yes.

i think there's a cooldown of 3mths if not mistaken for fresh meat.
but otherwise, just need credit check.

if you did this in maxis centre, re-approach the sales and ask to add to your fibre "purchase order". maybe no fuss if add outright.

add:
there is a cooldown of 3mths to the next zerolution device.
e.g. i add iphone and watch on 1st feb, so i can't get another device until after 3mths. i get TV in july, so next device contract - if i want more - is only available in october.

Sharp 70" 4TC70CK3X

i see. coz if just the fibre plan along is unable to get 70" TV

You know what's the joke?

"Ok, dah upgrade fibre ke 500Mbps. Nanti saya proses abang punya TV; detail dah ambil hari tu."

That was 2 weeks ago. He never did.

Until I knocked door again. Today.
