How easy it is to get public IP? Need to beg and whatnot? I won't prefer this way. I already bought my own router - Asus TUF-AX3000, so I supposed I can configure myself. I need public IP for my Switch gaming.

just ask them on customer support and give a reason, they will change some stuff and then you can change your PPPoE ID on router for public IP

Note that 4G Backup and VOIP Phone wont work on other routers.

Got it. Is gaming reason good enough?

Hi guys, I will be subscribing to Maxis Fibre soon for RM 129 - 300Mbps (24 months promo). I was torn between Celcom and Maxis until I was informed about Maxis promo, so I have decided on Maxis and pray hard TIME will not come to my condo in 2 years time. tongue.gif

Is there any issue for following items? I saw mixed feedback on this thread.

i) YouTube
ii) Throttled speed at night
iii) IoT stuff
iv) China sites/apps
v) Technical support

in my personally experience
1 and 2 nope, seems fine though someone mentioned youtube problems just above this
3, my tmall genie (chinese ai assitant) sometimes hicks up a bit and also leading into 4, it's internal speedtest is only getting 2 to 12Mbps depending on it's mood
china sites, the big ones like taobao no problems, but a forum I visit (mydigit.cn) is rather painfully slow, but other than that it's alright (mi.com, bilibili, baidu tieba)
5. no comment but my tech did mess up my router config so it's pushing wrong config over (incorrect PPPoE password), disabled remote, later then replaced with own router.
outside of that support has been okay
also note that if you replace router with your own you do loose 4G backup and VoIP phone. (for 4g, can change hostname of router/device to a specific name to reuse[ircc something Archer_c5v], as for voip you will have to chain the stock router to your new router to use that)
as other's have mentioned if you are subscribed to Maxis on Unifi infra and if the fibre side of things have problem it will be slower to resolve since maxis has to contact tm.

Also regarding 3, Maxis by default puts you on private ip (so no port forwarding), can ask cs to move you to public ip, no charges

also also, if you're using Maxis on Unifi infra, expect to only see 28Mbps on a 30Mbps subscription (and 280 on a 300 sub)
Blame TM, not Maxis. There's some throttling by Unifi applied on the modem for an unfair advantage

I'm using maxis on maxis own infra, so I get 38Mbps on 30Mbps subscription
*
Thanks for the feedback.

3. Yeah, I'm using Tmall Genie and Mi Xiaoai. That's sad and I hope it is not happening frequently.
5. Got it. I'll be using my own router though and I'm OK to lose out 4G backup because it is a high rise, so the 4G speed won't be great anyway. VoIP phone is OK, I don't use it.

Noted on the Public IP which I need it for Switch gaming and I have asked before in this thread. I will just quote CCTV as the reason.

Yes, unfortunately my condo is using UniFi infra and looks like I can't do anything about it. Thankfully, I'm using it alone so I can live with it. However, it is not nice to see such thing. I'm using UniFi 500 at hometown by the way.

I'm 2 weeks in, previously an Unifi user for a year full of problems
i) For me no problem whatsoever, even 4k is also silky smooth, unlike previously Unifi often f*ked up their routing to ipv6 and causes long buffer on videos
ii) Non at all
iii) Public Ip is easy to get, just a call and no questions asked. Just be aware that after getting public IP your Pppoe credentials will be changed
iv) Way better than Unifi, Taobao loads properly now. The pics under reviews finally loads, unlike T*.
v) This one tho...for me their CS is better than Unifi, they know about technical stuff. Basically, it took me 2 minutes of call time to get public IP.

Yeah, I'm a happy user.

Happy to hear such feedback. biggrin.gif Didn't expect UniFi is bad for you... I have no issue with UniFi though just that the pricing for new subscribers is a bit off and I cannot relocate UniFi from my hometown to my own place.. laugh.gif

Good to know you are a happy user. rclxms.gif

I already submitted my form for Maxis Fibre. Fingers crossed now. I checked on the site, somehow it shows my condo is not covered but the fact is many of the owners are using Maxis and it is using UniFi infra, I really hope all goes well. sweat.gif

Unifi seems to be rather problematic for the users in the southern region.
I've seen youtube buffering, FB, and Twitter images won't load during the night and of course, Taobao simply being unusable.

Hope it'll be smooth throughout the remaining 2 years lol, I'm expecting to grab Allo after the promo ends.

Yes, my house is not covered according to their website. You'll need to contact Maxis/agent to check for coverage. I didn't notice Maxis is available here until I saw a wifi name popped up as Maxis fiber when cycling down the street. They told me if the area has unifi, you can get Maxis Celcom Digi and Astro no problem.

Make sure you get the promo tho

Luckily my hometown at NS is OK, no issue so far.

I managed to get one of my neighbours to share her address, so I followed the exact same address and filled in for my agent. Let's see.

Hi frutie.. can found you everywhere.. I Also thinking to change, also from unifi.. Where you get the 129 for 300Mbps? so for now,  got a few choice..

1. Free 6 month (coming from unifi). Dunno 24m or 36m contract.
2. Website deal 149 + 9 (ipad 9th gen)
3. 129 * 24m

All for 300Mbps. Currently paying 139 for unifi 300.
*
laugh.gif I'm already less active on LYN, so you shouldn't be seeing me everywhere that much anymore. tongue.gif My friend is an agent, so he can get for me 129 for 300Mbps. If you want, you may PM me for the contact. I won't be earning anything by the way. smile.gif

I thought RM129 Unifi 300Mbps is only available for Unifi customer who has finished contract , not for new customer or existing customer on contract.
correct me if I'm wrong ..

We are at Maxis Fibre thread. smile.gif I Anyway, I’m paying RM 129 for UniFi 500 since Oct 2018, with free calls and Ultimate UniFi TV package, not under any contract anymore. biggrin.gif tongue.gif TM just granted to me without me realizing, it’s probably a mistake from their end but I’m still not the cheapest btw. 129 for 300Mbps seems not bad also la.

Anyway, my friend helped me to register on yesterday’s morning and in less than three hours I got e-bill registration email from Maxis. Not long after that, I got welcome email from Maxis. So no issue on the registration and due to my house is not yet ready for installation (my living hall area not ready yet), I will postpone the installation till after CNY. Let’s see.

My friend helped me to register for installation on next Saturday (19th Feb) and the registration was done on 21st Jan, is it normal that until now I still haven't received any call from Maxis? No call to confirm about my registration. laugh.gif

Also, I will be using my own router - Asus TUF AX3000, any settings I can do beforehand? Once the technician leaves then I will change to my own router. I don't think they can help to set up on my router right? laugh.gif

If the contact number is under yours, u should receive confirmation call from maxis 1 - 2 days before the installation.

And
For Asus router, u can change it after the technician left.

Oh. That late? I need to inform my management office actually. sweat.gif Yes, that’s my contact number.

Any settings I need to take note during setup?

By the way, if I request for public IP then PPPoE credentials will be changed, how do they inform me on the new credentials? Over the phone?

Actually, they will just change it on your router with TR-069 I think. Was helping a friend to request public IP and it was done over at their side without any user intervension.

This is even better. thumbup.gif Maybe let them change first and only I shift it to my own router.

If you use your own third party router, then they don't guarantee that they'll be able to configure it remotely without your intervention.

That's why I said I let them configure on their stock router first then only I change to my own router. biggrin.gif

I remember seeing someone posted this before
Their public IP PPPoE user name and password format is pretty simple
If you are a private IP user
1234567@home.maxis.com.my
pwd: 12345671 (same as PPPoE username but always added a 1 in the end)

when changed to public IP
1234567@public.maxis.com.my
pwd: 12345671 (same as PPPoE username but always added a 1 in the end)

When I request for public ip, they accidentally missed typed a 1 when setting it up remotely. Had to modify it myself.

Good tips. Let's see what they are going to do with mine later. biggrin.gif

I'm kinda impressed with Maxis though, until now I still haven't received any call but they have done these actions:
1) Registered via my friend on 21st Jan and my friend chose 19th Feb as the installation date - Received welcome email from Maxis 1 hour later on the same day
2) Today, 15th Feb received automated call from Maxis to confirm my installation appointment for 19th. Pressed "1" on the phone to confirm and immediately received SMS with my installation address and date.


I hope the real installer will call me before arriving, in fact I need to inform my management office for any visitor... sweat.gif

Finally I’m installing mine tomorrow, didn’t manage to install the other week because my dad passed away. cry.gif

Maxis was being very accommodating when I told them that I will need to postpone as I was at hometown settling some stuff. I wanted to postpone until April as I feel that I won’t be able to travel to KL that soon, the CS took some days to call me back as she had to check with her management team.

After some days, she called and told me that it cannot be postponed for that long and suggested me to cancel the application and re-apply again when I’m ready. I asked about the RM 20 rebate, she said will still be granted but she couldn’t provide me any B&W. I don’t feel good as I am not provided with assurance. After some consideration, I decided to go back KL for a while to let them install tomorrow.

Hope all goes well.

Yes, I just got it installed and the process was very fast.

If you are newly join MAXIS FIBER, need to wait TM & Maxis Technical to come your house separately,
TM technical inspect & wiring your house to the closest FIBER connection, and install+setup ONU required 30min - 1 hour
Maxis technical just install and setup Provided maxis fiber free router, I believe was the huawei wifi 6 router, within 30min will be complete.

Don't forget to request your maxis fiber PPPoE Account & Password for further router upgrade use.
*
Yeah both UniFi and Maxis came and process was fast and easy.

I got the PPPoE password but I wanna change to public IP. Unfortunately, my account is still new so have to wait it’s visible in the system only can be changed. That said I cannot change to my own router too. Will try to come back again next week.

Finally I’m on Maxis Fibre. Speed is stable so far, 290-305Mbps on LAN and WiFi. I’m happy.

Cannot. You have to setup your own router yourself.

QUOTE(loonsave @ Mar 5 2022, 04:11 PM)
This is what I did.

1. Changed to my pwn router right after they did the installation.
2. Wait account update in their system.
3. Call them to request public IP.
4. Change the username from home to public after few hours.

Voila.

Oops. I should have done it too. laugh.gif
Anyway, I will go back again on next Thursday, will get it all done. biggrin.gif
