Yes, I remembered receiving a promotional call from Maxis about upgrading my line to a higher tiered one just about 1 week back. They seems to be very aware of subscriber's contract ending soon and will keep pushing to get you tied up again by renewing your contract.

Worst there are even cases when a competitor ISPs who would call up and offer you to switch over which makes you wonder how they got access to Maxis's customer accounts.

Don't know if it's true or possible, if you refuse the offer you'll see weird things happening to your line like your fibre modem(ONT) getting miscapped once in a while, line quality deterioration and increased downtimes.

That's why I maintain my dependence on Malaysian telco services as simple as possible.

Hi Guys... need some advice here.

I recently changed my internet from Maxis Astro bundle to a standalone one because my parents decided to cancel Astro.
I applied for the Maxis home fibre, they sent some technician to install with a new router.
It's been a month, and I felt that the connection gets disconnected intermittently - because I am still working from home I can tell that my internet disconnected as my VPN will have a pop up that it is disconnected and reconnecting.

I called Maxis, they sent someone over.
The technician said there is nothing wrong with my internet, but my disconnection issue is probably my room is not near the router.
He explained that I never experience in the past as now we have 5g signal, so there could be interference as there are 2 signals being transmitted (2.4g and 5g)
He suggested me to get wifi booster to get a better signal.

I did some reading on wifi extender, mesh network, and also get to know that routers may also affect the connection.
So I would like to ask if anyone had similar issue, and what would be the best solution?

TL/DR version:
I experience intermittent disconnection using Maxis home fiber plan.
I stay double story, router installed in living room. My room is on 1st floor far behind.
Maxis technician suggest wifi extender - wanna ask if you had similar issue and your suggested solution.

There are only my parents and I at home, I don't really need very canggih solutions as they are not very tech-savy. I just need to work with smooth internet in my room.
In case you suggest me to work closer to the router, my job requires some privacy and my router is installed near the TV.

Any comments is very much appreciated.   

Invest on some good routers or try to upgrade you plan to 100mbps or if you want stuck with Maxis router means go for Mesh wifi system like similar to Airties 4830 that maxis offering for 500mbps and 800mbps customers it will help out. I’m using Maxis 500mbps at my shop plus maxis bundling me 2 unit of  Airties mesh WiFi for free Maxis staffs are just enables all WiFi signals from router and mesh WiFi. So what I did is I disabled both 2.4 and 5ghz WiFi from router and enable WiFi from mesh WiFi now I’m almost 300 to 400mbps even if I away 15 feet away from router

Just cirious, where does Maxis plug the VOIP phone to? The mesh unit, or ?

Hi. Anyone using Fibre + Hotlink Postpaid @ rm99 per month?

I'm already on Hotlink Postpaid, do i need to change telco/plan first in order to subscribe for the bundle?

Anyone here subscribe or upgrade from Maxis Fibre to Astro & Broadband? How's the overall experience? Any difference?

You switch from Maxis Fibre to Astro & Broadband when your maxis fibre contract is not over, or already over?
