I believe it's not only netflix, all of the video streaming websites/apps are getting throttled to 512kbps after 300gb usage.
I have tried Digi but Digi network is the worst telco among all for my exact location, could be too far away from the towers.

AFAIK, many games aren't affected, like LOL, PUBG. Downloading files are capped to 20mbps.

Video streaming sites, like Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, are throttled to 512kbps. Google Play Store download/update is throttled too. But strangely, iOS App Store and Windows 10 store don't get throttled.

my data is on a new cycle now, I can't check and so I'm not sure.
Steam games download/update would be capped at 20mbps.
I'm still on finding whats are heavily throttled too.

You've reached 300GB usage, that's why your speed is getting throttled.
Everything is capped to 20mbps, and all video streaming websites are getting throttled to 512kbps.
Fast.com speed test is provided by Netflix IINM, and so the speed should be 500kbps whereas other speedtest should be 20-30mbps.

Yes for MaxisONE Wifi Go, it'll get throttled after 300GB usage.
For Maxis fiber + Postpaid plan (unlimited). the Maxis fiber is truly unlimited, whereas the mobile postpaid unlimited will be throttled after 300GB usage.

It's not suitable for TV box since video streaming will be heavily throttled to 512kbps after 300gb usage.

Sorry, my area doesn't have fiber. So, not so sure for fiber + mobile postpaid unlimited. But, my sister is using at Johor, so I'm not able to check.

For MaxisONE Go Wifi, AFAIK after 300gb consumption, all video streaming like YouTube, Facebook, Netflix, and Google Play Store download/upload will be heavily throttled to 1mbps/512kbps.
Download at filehippo, steam games, and gaming like LOL, PUBG are capped speed to 20mbps.
Mind you, gaming on 4G network is highly location dependant.

1) RM108 for existing or new postpaid user, and revert back to normal RM138 after 12 months.
2) Yes, Tenda 4G680 router can run Maxis network. However, it's a 4G only router, and not recommended if your location could support 4G+ network.

To me, I rather take the RM1 ZTE MF283v router from Maxis than getting Tenda 4G680. Although the downside is 12 months contract, the performance of these two routers should be more or less the same.

Yes, you can use this plan on mobile phone, but it can't make any voice call. If you intend to use it as hotspot for a long time, then it's not recommended as the phone will get very hot or the battery may get swollen.

Huawei B525 might be the cheapest option for a 4G+ router, although the warranty is quite short.

or the TP Link MR600 4G+ router with 3 years local manufacturer warranty.

If you have no intention to get 4G+ router, then I may suggest you take the RM1 ZTE modem from Maxis, although the downside is a 12 months contract.

Did you complain to MCMC? Any news of it.
I hope it would increase to 500gb or 600gb monthly. However, it's still not enough for heavy video streaming even if 600gb.

FB and YouTube is getting throttled at 1.5mbps at night time even if you haven't reached 300GB, and only 512kbbps all day after 300GB.
If you're a heavy user, it's not recommended for you.
Have you checked Digi infinite 150?

If you really gonna use it for 12months, it's RM1 only, take it.
Otherwise, it's not worth since it's just a 4G only router.

It's RM138 excluding SST for MaxisONE Go Wifi for non-Maxis postpaid user.
Only Maxis postpaid users get RM30 rebate for 12 months, and after that it'll revert back to RM138.
Comparing to Digi infinite 150 which gives 1000GB quotas for RM150 excluding SST. It's much better provided your location has a good connection.

If you phone could get a good connection on Maxis network at your location, then this MaxisOne Go Wifi will be 99.9% the same as your postpaid/prepaid plan. Furthermore, 4G CPE router tends to have better connection than any phone does. The only issue is whether or not 300GB quotas enough for your monthly usage.
I may suggest you take the SIM only since there's no contract. You are allowed to purchase the 4G router for RM1 later but it'll tie you to a 12-month contract.

Digi and Maxis both use LTE band 3 and 7. So, if the modem works on Digi, then it'll also works on Maxis.

MaxisONE Go Wifi has got a lot of improvement. Today is my last day of my billing cycle and my consumption for this month has already passed 500GB.
YouTube and Play Store don't get throttled anymore.


Maybe, someone else could check it too, and hope it's not my "imagination".

My previous post screenshots were at 8.54pm night time. I had consumed over 300GB, yet I were still getting high speed for YouTube or Play Store. It's normally throttled to only 512kbps after 300GB usage.

Now, I'm on a new cycle, and testing done at 8.20pm night time for YouTube and Netflix (free). Another thing is that, YouTube normally won't changed to 1080p on auto previously.


I hope someone else could confirm that Maxis has done some amendment to MaxisONE Go Wifi as well as Maxis mobile plans.
Despite that, I might be terminating this plan soon because my home finally has fiber internet although TM is still in installation progress.

Netgear Nighthawk M1 should perform far better than any phone, but it'll cost you a bomb. It's a 4x4 MiMO and 4G+ MiFi. IIRC, I read someone said the battery can be taken out to prevent swollen if you wish to use it at home plugged in 24/7.

Otherwise, Huawei e5573 could be an alternative cheaper choice. It's a 4G only MiFi.

Huawei B315 is a 4G only router. Upgrade it to 4G+ may improve your internet speed if your location has good 4G+ coverage. However, if your location is congested, whatever router you use will be 99% the same.

You may try disable the TR06, IIRC, in the router webpage.

Look like my previous post https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...post&p=98518103 was not my imagination.
Nevertheless, I terminated this plan since fibre internet is better.

Are you sure it’s everything?

Yes, previously all videos streaming sites were getting throttled to 512kbps after 300gb usage. Other things, it would be throttled at 20-30mbps. However, at the last month of my usage b4 termination, I have used around 600GB and the speed for YouTube and Netflix are quite fast - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...post&p=98518103

Not sure whether Maxis has re-amended this “Go WiFi” again.
