they mentioned the offer to me RM1 tv too but too bad i dont need a new TV

ya, the maxis call back also tell me 1GBps offer i think less than 180, just that because is for my parent house internet usage, 30Mbps/100Mbps is more than sufficient haha, to minimize the cost of fiber is my goal
my own house i still using Unifi 800Mbps @ RM99 (bundle with UnifiTV Ultimate legacy plan) gobind era til now

Maxis offer me 9 months free with 2 years contract. Is this legit?

Should be legit, I was offered with 8 months free and after that 129 for 300Mbps perpetually.
The free months are still running.

how to get these offer? can call and ask them directly?

My contract ended and I wanna change to UniFi then they counter-offered this for retention purposes.

Anyone facing high latency on Maxis Fiber - TM network currently?

could be because of me haha. i uploaded 600gb of my family photos from my nas to onedrive as a backup yesterday. surprisingly only too a few hours, god bless 500 mbps upload.

but it pinged my dns 150k times hahaha

can i get a easymesh node to use with my existing maxis router which support easymesh?

i see mercusys node can support easymesh

Technically you can but not recommend cause it's not that reliable and the speed drop is very significant

with maxis 100mbps, wont need high speed due to old people using

an extender is better than a mesh node? because the maxis router has to be using right

I will switch to a better router rather than using a cheap mesh or extender solution.

It's way more reliable as most low end mesh system are plagued with high loaded latency issues, bad for WiFi calls.

And mesh / repeater means you need to deal with roaming issue which almost all low end system are bad at it.

we can replace maxis router with our own? or just disable the wifi and add on our own router beside through LAN cable?

can, just set up VLAN and PPPoE on your router

but you lose VoIP and 4G Backup if you have/use those
(VoIP could be setup again by connecting stock router to your router)

Yes you can replace it with almost any router out there actually.

ok, i recall the ppoe username password is something like this
acocunt-number@home.maxis.com.my /account-number1

setup vlan means? not just replace new router and remove maxis router then choose maxis profile and input ppoe username and password?

ok thanks, but seems will lose voip like above mentioned

If you buy an ASUS router, you can route VOIP back to the Maxis router

yes, choosing that profile = setting up vlan

the profiles are just preconfigured for you, otherwise you would manually key in vlan id

Maxis fibre and data service big kaboom?

It is going be my first time to subscribe to Maxis Home Fibre 100 Mbps service (RM 89.00). I plan to add RM 10.00 / mth for unlimited calls.


I want just internet service and phone service.


1) Correct me, if I am wrong. The monthly subscription fee is RM 104.95 (which is RM 99.00 with 6% service tax), right?


2) For Maxis Home Fibre 100 Mbps service, is it true that I receive the equipment form Maxis?

- Modem (comprising either the Optical Network Terminal (“ONT”) or Broadband Termination Unit (“BTU”) as the case may be).
- WiFi 6 certified router.
- Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication Phone (“DECT”) phone.


3) How many electrical power sockets do I need, for Maxis Home Fibre service?


Thank you for your advice.

2 power sockets are required, 3 if your line phone is using wireless one.
