Been with maxis for more than 10 years, from prepaid to postpaid to one plan 128. Been thinking to port out since U mobile start the war with HERO plan RM70 get 7GB.
But worried about Umobile coverage so I hold it, then Digi and Celcom join the war with their own plan, giving unlimited calls and more data with cheaper price. Then stumble upon this thread, really cant brain why maxis treating their customer like this
so i decided to port out.
I cancel my contract last Thursday via maxis chat and when they ask why want to cancel, i said i want to port out. And purposely wait till yesterday to see if anyone from maxis will call and offer me new package. Not that i wanted the new package but just want to see how their reaction when a customer cancel their contract and mentioned of porting out.
So yesterday since no one from maxis call me, i decided to port in to Celcom and took their RM80 gold plan, and this morning someone from maxis call me to offer new package. First he offer me RM68 and will get 5GB unlimited call but i rejected. Then he said can give me more data, so he offer me RM88 8GB unlimited call, also I rejected it. He ask why? I said i get better offer from Celcom with RM80 gold plan. Then he start condemn Celcom saying even thou Celcom give more data but their 4G speed is slower than maxis blablabla, I just stop him and said I already frustrated with maxis and already decided to port out,so no thanks.
So I hope if anyone intend to port out and get a counter offer from maxis, just reject it. This is to teach maxis a lesson so they will realize that we customer are not stupid and we can make our choice if we are not happy with them.
My hats off to you for your stand bro, unfortunately others who are just seeking for a cheaper package but want to stick to familiarity will gladly accept.

As for the 4G speed claim, I think it varies depending on location. I bought a Celcom prepaid recently to test their network speed and since I travel quite a bit for work I've been randomly testing their network. For now it appears that maxis has better 4G coverage in certain areas, but when I get Celcom 4G signal, the speed seems to blow maxis out of the water. So far two places where Celcom whipped maxis in two places that I've tested are Imago Mall, KK and First Avenue Mall, Penang. I will be in Ipoh later this week and in JB next week where I'll do further tests.
I don't expect Celcom to be miles ahead of maxis (not for the asking price of RM80+GST) but if I'm convinced that Celcom has acceptable coverage in all those places that I frequently go to, then I'll most likely void my contract with maxis and pay the penalty (which I calculated I will make back in savings in the plan rates for the duration of my contract period).
