Have been using this for a few days now and I can tell yall, EVERYTHING IS A FKING LIE

1) Speed is heavily controlled and/or fluctuated
I can get 2Mbps from 8am-10pm, 20Mbps from 11pm-7am

2) Dont bother for torrenting, torrent not working at all it just wont connect

3) Speed is super inconsistent, unlimited data or speed seems a joke since I dont even get consistent speed.

Side notes:
-My modem get constant 4G signal
-My phone maxis 128 plan speed no issue
-Called CS they claim no "limit" or any "speed blocks"
-My streamyx actually gets better and consistent speed.. which defeats my point of getting another line (streamyx for parents to watch youtube so i need another dedicated line for gaming/downloads but my area no UNIFI AIR coverage yet)

Disapointed with this.. unlimited speed and quota? Sure!

but what they dint point out is
-FLUCTUATING SPEED NOT DEPENDING ON SIGNAL
-NO TORRENT OR HEAVY DOWNLOADS

Ok guys I might have been over-reacting abit ytd because I was fking pissed.. so after some deep meditation and getting a call from the Maxis tech guy today...

-Speed inconsistency is due to tower servers or smth reaching a max capacity especially during MCO, so they need to limit bandwidth for everyone to use or others wont able to even connect (TBH sounds like a YP not MP, but I live in high density low-mid class apartment which means most people are using phone line for internet connection so yeah)
-Regarding torrents or "downloads", after some "off the record discussion" with the tech guy, although they dint limit speed or block anything, something about MCMC being in the bigger picture so yeah go figure

Guess Ill just have to live with that or work harder and move to a place with Unifi. (PS: Yeah in case ur wondering, basically TM gave us the middle finger by installing Unifi around, yes... literally around my apartment, which means the whole district has Unifi except my apartment lol)

Btw, yes yes... I could have gotten a VPN or seedbox or similar ways for torrenting... but me coming from a poor background "insert sob tv3 kasih sayang story", growing up we learned to "explore" ways getting stuff done for free or to wait until something can be done for free. Obviously not the case now but you get what Im saying...

Somehow I'm not surprised haha...but I think you're doing it backwards bro..I'm maintaining my Streamyx for gaming while getting 4g for my kids and wife to stream.
Gaming is latency sensitive and a fixed line is better at that. Streaming/downloading needs more bandwidth and ideally a 4g connection will be better at this. I don't even consider torrenting with malaysian isp, I use a seedbox for it much less hassle.

Hmm I dint thought about that before.. Thanks for the idea of switching mate! Ive been torrenting with streamyx and unifi before no issues, so I thought this should work as expected... dint know what I was walking into till now...

Depends on your location though.
I'm in Kuching.
As for speed, in the day I could get till 80Mbps and at night I could get 70Mbps.
Eerie yearly morning like 2 A.M, i can get 100 Mbps.

As for torrent; it's like DiGi i150. You need to use VPN.
I use the jerung one.
Bought in Shopee for RM2.50 only.

Hahahahahaha!

Amazing speed mate! I always thought 4G meant the fastest speed, dint know 4G by area gave different speeds as well. Interesting... might check out the "jerung"

thanks for saving humanity
did u use the sim in your phone? same phone as your maxis 128?
*
Yep... same results as my router... the tech guy suggested this as well, his verdict was to get my sim card changed. My brand new sim card from 3 days ago. Changed. Im trying to process that in my brain and it just resetted itself lol. Anyways since Im lazy AF and with all this covid thing going on, I might just live with it for now. Surprisingly my Maxis 128 data has more consistent connection, albeit slower, but the key is CONSISTENCY

Something like you dial *#0011# on Samsung phone.

I believe their customer service team is also not up to speed (heh. Speed. Get it?) on this plan as they are just rolling this out.

Their official whatsapp told me No speed cap, No data cap.
*
Very punny mate... well they aint lying though...
NO speed or data cap but they CAN give inconsistent speed and/or limited speed at desperate times aka "fair usage policy"

Some update guys:

-Certain so-called "popular" sites such as but not limited to FB, Insta, YT are heavily throttled (1.5 Mbps max) during peak hours, DEPENDING on your area cell tower limit. Meaning if your area alot of ppl using phone line for internet like me, GGWP. (PS: My peak time is around 12pm-11.59pm) *Edit: throttling confirmed by silentser, using VPN helps*

-Speed fluctuation still happen alot, getting around 7-28 Mbps from time to time (This speed only apply for normal usage meaning the speed does not apply to popular website mentioned above during peak hour)

-4G on my phone for maxis 128 plan getting constant 28 Mbps, for celcom 128 plan is getting arnd 70 Mbps. So far the phone maxis also experiencing throttling issue during peak hours, not experiencing any throttle on celcom line.

-Torrent definitely blocked as confirmed by me and silentser, this 1 no choice la k. I googled everywhere and LYN being my last stop, conclusion: pay for VPN or seedbox or whatever, no free choice here.

Im using B818 modem

Lucky u, they gave me the B315, seem so outdated but its either that or the usb dongle.

Lastly, Im seeing alot of ppl fill up info or call maxis to get this plan: If ur existing maxis postpaid user, dont waste ur time just WALK IN to ur maxis sc get the deal immediately if u want. The pre-order/register is BS, they basically convert the 65GB BB plan to this and gave rm30 monthly rebate to existing maxis customers. For non-maxis/ maxis prepaid users YMMW since I wasnt in that bracket when i signed up for this. Although I urge u to consider twice before signing up, my damage was minimal since I only had 1 year contract.

Just wondering.. if you stand in front of your house and use the sim card in the phone, how much speed you get?

Thinking of investing in proper modem? Maybe like B525 since you already tied to a contract and cant terminate it.

Mate... i live in an apartment... lol
Nope, my area speed very inconsistent. Wishful thinking is changing the router could fix that

QUOTE(silentser @ May 30 2020, 02:13 AM)
Nope. Still under than 300GB.

Seems like the speed is back for YouTube. Trying 2160p quality, getting speed 2-5Mb. No buffering at all.

Maybe got network hiccups for a moment just now. Will test again tomorrow

Mate u check the time when u try ur YT speed. On ur previous post u test 11.42pm speed is throttled, the next 12.49am terus boost speed, is same with my case. The popular sites speed are throttled during PEAK HOUR only. Definitely not network hiccups mate. What we need to test is when is their peak hour starting at

According to official T&C, by surpassing 300 GB quota they only can limit "video streming" and DURING "peak hours". Now, given my YT was already throttled 2 days going in this plan, I wont trust any of that BS.

Now, everything seems quite good.

Mate I was as optimistic as you before, but I recommend monitoring your download speed throughout the day. Im still monitoring mine.. fluctuations are still happening ranging 7Mbps-28Mbps from today 8am till now. Also. dont forget to test YT during "peak hours", should be 6-11pm.

For anyone interested I will update my average speed results tonight once I get a full view of the fluctuations.

Fluctuations? Are you expecting this wireless broadband to stable at like 25mbps all the time? Do you know every telco has a term with speed up to XXmbps for 80% of the time?

Mate, not 25Mbps all the time, but at least 10Mbps? I dont even get 10 sometimes, I dont understand. My laptop is not moving arnd, the router is not moving around. The cell tower certainly damn sure not moving around. If its phone I understand, but the cell tower-modem-laptop is stationary mate. I know its UP TO 20Mbps, but come on... my phone has stabler connection and is moving arnd wei.

Btw seriously go check ur YT speed. I kena throttle again start 8pm. Max 1.5Mbps, after vpn 5-7Mbps.
