still use maxis? come on man.... MNP

Loyalty in mobile operators means nothing. They are not been using same equipment as to the time when u firstly subscribed to them.
They have evolved.
Unfortunately, maxis has not been competitive with their prices. Some customers just see the "name" and do not consider the pricing nor the quality of service. Or rather some just dont want to have the hassle of switching to better deals.
You are loyal customer but if they cared about u, they would have offered you a special deal for being loyal.

LOL

Really?

Coverage will not be affected, but capacity yes.

DG, Mxis, Cel seeing drop in spectrum in 1800MHz.
What it means is, they have to work do with less resources.

For customers, you may expect little impact : especially is call quality (not so clear), call drop (in congested areas, such as malls and etc), lower data rate (in high demanding places).

The signal level will be still ok. As they will not adjust the transmitting power. You may realize that even with FULL BAR, you are not getting optimum speed or quality. This is due to limited capacity.

The purposely made it hard for MNP i presume.

Maxis would still can say their revenue gets better, not rocket science ya, thier subs are willing to pay high rates (for now). but their churn rate is increasing.

Revenue = Total number of users x ARPU
In simple calculation, despite drop in total number of users, ARPU remains high, therefore your revenue is still up there. At the short run, yes it sounds great. But in a long run, losing customers are something that in telco we try to avoid.
Now retaining high ARPU customers are not easy. They are demanding and smart at the same time. You network got to be top notch. Frankly speaking, all telcos are trying their best. The demand for data is so high that telcos are struggling to keep up with ever growing volume of data.
They (Maxis) is seeing the user drop trend, they will have counter strategy to retain customers or reduce the churn rate. How? Reduce price or offer better deal for their loyal customer.
Maxis not in the price game? Well all telcos around in other countries eventually will get into this game. Simply ask a question, if you need to cut on your monthly expenses, which expenditure you will willing to cut?

Before MNP was introduced, telco can be "safe" in maintaining their price irrespective to their competitors. How many of use willing to change our phone numbers? MNP was in fact was introduced to give freedom to the users to opt for the best. In term of money value.

Network quality now is very very subjective. Not even one telco in Malaysia can 100% say their network is the best. Some provider have great speed in one place, but suck in the other. Those who has their office/home and the speed is great, they will claim that particular telco is the best. But check all area (drive test) and youll find the real % of coverage and capacity of network. And no telco ever want to reveal this real drive test result. They just "claim" their coverage is such and such.

Maxis has been doing alots of changes since the new CEO (ML) took the office. Of coz as a CEO, his prime objective is numbers. In current state of economy, adaptation to users needs is very important to keep you in the business.

This part i have to agree with u.
