Actually the key is not paying same price for higer speed, but reducing price on existing speed.
Rm89 outlay for entry price is way too expensive. It needs to cut by at least half, to be reasonable.

I agree. Gov need to intervene. Internet is pretty basic needs nowadays.

Beware the TNC,  the number tied with the plan will be forfeited when u terminate the plan.
Btw, this is not promotion at all, it has been in the market since 2019.

It's hotlink flex plus fibre or simply hotlink fibre. Just opt for new mobile number.

Yes like what i did last year.
Given 2 choices.

Maintain 500mbps and free 6 months. After 6 months, rm139/mo (was 159)

Upgrade to 1Gbps and free 6 months, after 6 months,
Rm159/mo (this one i can add on rm1 for 65 inch tv)

I choose the latter one. 😂

Can modem/router supports 500mbps/1gb?

I received similar offer, opted for 500mbps but in actual only can go 300mbps. Can't remember exactly reason told by maxis but i think it's the modem/router.

What router and ONU are u using?

I use huawei HG8240H + asus ax3000 combination for my 500mbps. I get around 460+-mbps back then

After upgrading to 1gbps, maxis changed my onu to skyworth 2.5Gbe and router koan ar2140 combination. I get 910mbps.
I then changed my router to asus ax86u pro. Now I can achieve 1000mbps. Sometimes 1030+mbps. Sometimes 1040+mbps.

Default one lol
Fiberhome HG6240A
KAON AR2140

Did you connect router to a wrong port

Note: Maxis fiber must use LAN2
*
Recently my area changed to maxis own network, so at BTU it's LAN1 and at router is WAN.

I login to router interface, on 2.4G and 5G band, data transmitted is way more than received 61.7 GB vs 3.7 GB. Why eh?

I just want to know data usage before deciding to use home 5G.

The statistics on router is not accurate though

And don't use 5G if you care about good connectivity, it's not comparable to a proper fiber Internet

Just want to try for few months. Not heavy user, just netflix on 1 tv and light browsing.

Any reasons? Is it for cost saving

I think Maxis can offer you cheaper price if you are on their infra

QUOTE(YoungMan @ Jul 14 2025, 01:47 PM)
If totally netflix/streaming and light browsing, 5G is sufficient.
But to really test out, I suggest you subscribe 5G for example using 5G prepaid sim or U Home 5G without contract. Then you can decide to ditch fibre permanently if you feel it is enough for your usage.

Yes. Gonna test first, maxis just had installed their infra back of my house. Need to terminate first before can do RM99 300mbps plan. Meantime, will test 5G see for myself if reliable. Thanks for your advises.

Is it the same if using any Telco for 5G?
