Currently on unifi biz 500mbps turbo and paying RM274.55 monthly. I'm no longer under contract (RM259+6% sst)

Thinking to save the bill and change to maxis fiber biz 100Mbps RM139+sst. At least can save RM127 monthly.
Is this a good move? Maxis is a 2 yr contract too right?

Is there anything different between unifi and maxis fiber that maxis cannot do? U know... T*rrent, vpn, good stable speed, etc.
Been waiting for unifi to come up with new biz unifi packages. But no news so far.

Anyone had experience moving from unifi to maxis?

was my dilemma also. *sigh*




thinking of jumping ship from unifi biz to maxis 100Mbps RM139 biz ... much cheaper than RM274.55 unifi biz 500Mbps I'm paying now.
Who jumped shipped to maxis so far? Worth it? Damn, hate the 2yrs contract if anything come up after I jump ship.

Old or new is just relative and general assumption only. Older models are usually lest modern than newer ones.

Wifi AC 5Ghz (802.11ac) is definitely newer than Wifi N 2.4Ghz (802.11n).
However, not all new devices support wifi AC 5Ghz. Even if it supports, there is also difference in speed supported due to antenna & chipset used inside the device.

Even some smartphones/laptops selling in 2018 or 2019 still 'skimp' on the wifi AC support, where they only use wifi N 2.4Ghz in the device to save cost and sell cheaper.
You should check the spec of the device to be sure. Just check the specs and models of your wifi USB dongle, Wifi cards (laptop), smartphone and the wifi router first. Every model is different in their own.
Older devices we can safely say are less modern. But we can't say this to all devices because old phones like Note5, galaxy s8, iPhone6/7 are still good on wifi AC 5Ghz speed because they were the high end models at their launch time (premium models and still going strong).

Like new cars, not all are given the extra features of push start button, keyless entry, reverse camera, 6 air bags, multi-port usb chargers, and all the fancy stuff. It depends on which tier you buy. More money put in, more features with latest techs.
But as time goes, all these basic features will slowly become a 'standard' if the manufacturer wants to do it for an added cost.

jumping ship to Maxis after waiting so long for TM to give new offer for Unifi Biz (commercial lot). I'm on 500Mbps Turbo Unifi Biz RM274.55 including tax (259x1.06%=RM274.55, no hypptv).

subscribing to Maxis 300Mbps home package for RM149 (lifetime). (yay! cheaper bills)
at first wanted to subscribe the RM129/100Mbps only, but due to the promo RM149/300Mbps. I took the bait.

maxis salesman says the 300Mbps RM149 is just a promo for the time being, price will change in the future. Whoever subscribes now will enjoy the same price RM149/300Mbps forever.

wonder what kind of router will maxis give for 300mbps package.

i believe the installation will be a fast one as the wiring/cabling is already there from unifi installations right?
gotta terminate the unifi once maxis come and install it. Cancellation of unifi requires 1 month notice nowadays right?

nice. thanks for the info!

Just got maxis fiber 300Mbps home installed to replace my UnifiBiz 500Mbps.

Yep. Got the red/pink form to give to TM for cancellation purpose later.
Technician just reuse back the TM Unifi modem with Maxis router.
Received TPLink Archer C5V AC1200.

I just knew that both Unifi and Maxis can run under one single modem. Wow, didn't know that is possible until today. (Haven't cancel my Unifi yet)
My old router still on 500Mbps Unifi and the Maxis router on 300mbps Maxis line. Cool.

Haha. yeah. Always thought one modem one line use only.
Looking at the back of modem, it has 4 ports so we can use one modem up to 4 lines? Never had multiple lines before.

How many lines can use per modem actually?
