My Umobile Home Fibre contract only ended around next year March. I am thinking of terminating it and change it to Time 200Mbps RM99/month. Since Umobile already gave me wifi6 Huawei routers, I guess I do not need Time's free routers, which mean i can opt for not being tied with contract, am I right?

1) if u terminate it early now, u still need to pay the full remaining months of subscription until ur contract. It is as good as not terminating.

2) if u sign up time 200Mbps rm99/month (no contract), u need to pay RM400 one-time charge for installation and activation applies.

I see. I remember Time will help me to pay for the penalty fee if I opted for their Fibre broadband?
Then I got no problem opting for contract, since I intended to stay with Time for long period of time.

Umobile already gave me wifi6 Huawei routers meaing you can't use time due huawei router is combo by umobile
if you apply time 200mbps they will give free router that all but old router can't use wont work

just.. dont bother

stay on your u mobile fiber
time isnt going to pay your penalty

no, you're not going to be able to get out of getting a contract/paying a no contract fee with time by saying you dont need their hardware and to reuse umobile hardware

on paper, the huawei hardware is compatible, but your authentication details like username, password, vlans, ploam password, mac address, serial number.
stuff like that needs to be registered with their system and they wont let you register your own stuff

Nowadays too many restriction, I am too naive to think it is straightforward.

prob is time bb uses ONR device (all-in-one modem + wifi router) else it will be easier.

maxis or unifi all uses separate modem which the modem they always provide and with lifetime warranty, u just need to use ur own wifi router to connect to it to setup ur own wifi.

anyway, time bb now has no advantage comparing to maxis or unifi anymore.
for maxis, unifi, new users can get very attractive deal such as 6 months free subscription etc... or port from existing ISPs to another.
even for existing unifi users, they offer SWU offer which makes the subscription fee very attractive.
time bb new sign up at most 1 month free subscription for 2 years contract. or discounted price for 600Mbps plan for 1st 6 months but never as good as 6 months free like maxis or unifi for new users.
and last time their termination fee is no matter when u terminate is rm500 one time fee.. now also same like unifi - charge full remaining months of subscription = as good as no termination. so no advantage also liao.

u mobile bb only advantage is they their starting price at rm79 for 100Mbps, but price will be revised after 2 years to rm89.
for such price, might as well just add rm10 to get the 200Mbps under time bb.
and if u read the tnc of u mobile bb, very restrictive, cannot relocate the service to another location, if u move house, u need to terminate and pay the early termination fee in full which is equivalent to full remaining months of subscription which is as good as no termination.

My impression is Time BB is more stable in term of network. And also Umobile Fibre now still cannot auto debit from my credit card. sad.gif

Is Unifi/Maxis fibre now is as stable as Time BB? last time often heard high latency in Unifi/Maxis and also a lot of downtime.

i was using unifi for the past 8 years (landed) before i switch to time bb (apartment).

unifi has not been giving me much prob. downtime wise is minimum, maybe at most once in 1 to 2 years. but they rectify quite fast so not an issue.

speed and latency wise i have no prob, i mainly face prob for my own wifi connection due to the coverage and signal only which to be fair, not unifi prob.

their CS is not bad also.
time bb to me is ok, speed, latency wise is reasonable, but i do notice the speed sometimes particularly during peek hours when more ppl will be at home, i can notice that i cannot hit the maximum speed as per my plan and the latency sometime can varies.
time bb CS to me is ok, helpful and efficient, no issue.
ur house got unifi coverage? if yes, u might as well go for unifi.
u mobile bb i never use before, but their mobile service in terms of coverage and speed to me is vomiting blood.
u mobile bb is using time infra anymore, it can never be better than the host i am sure.
for ur info, even maxis is using unifi infra, and under the same plan, u will get like 10% lesser speed than the unifi users if u are using maxis also...
always use the host service only and come to troubleshooting will be easier as well. no need to involve the host.

My house under both Time and Unifi BB coverage. Let me think about it first.

Actually Umobile BB to me ain't that bad, the speed is ok-ish and stable. But then it is small little gritty that irked me, such as no auto debit then got 1 month simply charged me extra RM 32.42 in november with the charging description "Charging/Rating Issue", which I got no idea what it is.

I lodged a report to them which they admitted it is their error and need to further investigate, but until now still awaiting news from relevant department.

That's why I wanted to change to other provider.

if u are happy with the existing service, just stick to it then.  tongue.gif

ultimately, if u change service, another 2 years contract to go, and service quality is uncertain.

payment sounds to me is not a big prob anyway that can be fixed and workarounds can be found also.
