QUOTE(CAL V @ Apr 14 2025, 11:17 AM) Got a call from Maxis to offer RM89 for 500Mbps plan, standard contract 24months. Thinking if I should switch over from TIME, contract free atm. Paying RM99/month for 200Mbps. Any performance issues that you guys encounter? So far my experience with existing ISP isn’t great either for overseas sites, sometimes load very slowly, buffering etc with very low load on my line. Downtime also average I guess, few times a year. RM 89 for 500Mbps?  Bundled with any postpaid? Otherwise, it is a steal and I want to know where to get this promo.

According to the CS it’s offered for loyal customers only, reason being my parent’s line is >20years with them. iirc is limited slots, first come first serve basis. Only have 1 postpaid plan with them now, not required to add on anything else.

If the Maxis fibre is gonna ride on TM infra, you will get different download/upload speed. Having said that, I'm using Maxis on TM infra, so far no major issue aside from 1 or 2 breakdown that only requires TM to fix on their side.

Yeah, I'm aware of the asymmetrical speed, don't do a lot of uploading, so that's fine by me. Based on what the CS informed me, there are some areas that are fully on Maxis' own infra, if it's on par with Unifi then I don't mind. Likely gonna take up this offer. save some money for snacks

I switched over to Unifi few days ago, during the transfer process, Maxis called to counter offer. RM89 for 100mbps Free 9 months 2 yrs contract The deal I took from Unifi is RM89 for 100mbps also, free 6 mths, 3 yrs contract + new combo box (modem and router in one device). Optional to take free 6 mths mobile line, which will give 6 mths free upgrade to fibre 300mbps. If continue the line at RM39 / mth afterward, free 300mbps upgrade continues.

Hence, need to be extra extra careful now, especially with free TV offer. I believe Maxis offer for TV is also 3 years.

If in doubt, it is always better to sign up at Tmpoint rather than going through agent.
