Hi everyone, I'm looking to install Internet at my new house at Bandar Seri Coalfields, Sungai Buloh. Any sifu here can recommend which provider to use? and probably what package to go for. Previously was using Unifi Lite aka Streamyx 4Mbps at old house. Weekdays normally my mom and dad and elder sister at home so not much use. Weekend everyone at home so use more kao kao .

Btw, my house is double storey. Better to put it at 1st or second floor?

between Maxis or Unifi, i'd choose Unifi.

better put at which floor that you gonna use the most. but another point to consider is the hypptv, that's why many install near their tv set.

else a mesh wifi is the better solution for better full house coverage

Do informal survey with your neighbors and ask them what provider they are using currently and the total number of downtime they face in a month. Also, ask them if they face frequent bandwidth throttling at night. Most of the time, unifi always recommended for residential area due to after-sales support (means any problem you will get priority over maxis users).

Less hardware needed to surf the internet, the better. Unifi wins here due to you can directly buy a better third-party router and can directly replace your current networking setup unlike maxis which requires a slight tweak.

Unifi > Maxis

But Maxis got free 4G dongle unlimited data.

so your choice

Unifi
better support whereas Maxis still depends on Unifi Technician when troubleshooting concern. Therefore, time will taken to resolve on this stage

Now Maxis got this offer:
Enjoy free unlimited 4G WiFi delivered to you,
until your fibre is installed.

I checked stat using OpenSignal app:
Maxis 3rd place: Upload 5.89Mbps/ Download 15.15Mbps
Unifi 5th place: Upload 1.9Mbps/ Download 5.78Mbps

Cuz the place I'm staying is newly developed plus MCO so very few residents. I asked 2 people I kenal around there, both also using Unifi. One complain slow speed. The other say it's ok for them, since not use much.

I agree Unifi has better tech support. It's simply hard to pick between Unifi and Maxis... or got any provider else to recommend?

How about TIME?

Maxshit ride on Unifi infra, If Unifi slow automatically Maxshit also slow.

Since now MCO everyone at home utilizing the broadband so its normal will be slighly slower, furthermore undersea cable also rosak (that is the link from MY connect to the World).


Even im on Time 100Mbps nowadays also getting 30-50Mbps only but its still quite fast enough.

Agreed. Time > Unifi> Maxis
Btw tm fixed the cable ald, speed drop must be due to congestion now.

What Plan do you want to subscribe? If 30mbps at RM89, Maxis win over TM in terms of symmetrical speed. Also do check out Celcom Home Fibre and Digi Fibre.

What u checked in open signal app is for mobile data. Not fibre.

OpenSignal is for mobile data. Maxis definitely win with their super expensive data price.
Newly developed? Go check around see what fibre infra is ready.
