After 50GB FUP exhausted, the speed is reduced to 512kbps and reset on the next re-subscription.

What if i want to maintain the speed after hitting the 500gb? Is there any add-ons for this?

Thanks for your reply.
BTW, does it show our usage before reaching 50GB?

Wondering the same thing too. It hotlink app only shows unlimited quota instead of consumed data

There are dealers doing MNP on Shopee. You need to pay a little bit of fee (RM10 or so) for their service whereas walking in to Maxis Centre is totally free of charge for porting in to a Hotlink Prepaid plan.

Mind to share the seller link?

After a week im testing, i found that this is not worthy and scammed.
Why ?
I subscribe the unlimited plan 6mbps + hotspot (rm50)...
I have used up until today is 50gb...
Now my speed is only limited to 50kbps
Please dont recommend to use this as for daily work and also downloading game stuck at the middle...
This is a scammed for "unlimited data"
*
The FUP is 50gb...

https://www.lowyat.net/2021/231546/hotlink-...ted-users-mco2/ - Hotlink Throttles Unlimited Users To 512kbps From 8 PM to 12 AM During MCO - Chief Chapree - January 31, 2021
"In another response, the telco claimed that the MCO’s FUP was implemented to make sure that all customers can utilize Hotlink service without interruption. That being said, reducing user’s speed to just 512kbps at this time and age seems rather unjustified especially given the fact that customers were not informed of this move beforehand."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxis_Communications = Maxis has about 60MHz or 2X10MHz X 3 frequency bands for 4G LTE.

Maxis's FUP throttling justification is likely a half lie.

Maxis has about 2X10MHz X 3 = 60MHz = 1.2Gbps of Internet bandwidth for 4G LTE data to be shared by its postpaid and prepaid subscribers. Each 4G LTE cell tower can only serve a maximum of about 240 active subscribers at any one time, eg video-streamers = average 5Mbps per subscriber, ie 1.2Gbps or 1,200Mbps divided by 240 active subscribers = 5Mbps.

Problem is, richer postpaid Maxis subscribers have contracted for high-speed Internet of about 100Mbps(= LTE-Advanced) for about RM100 per month while most poorer prepaid Maxis subscribers have contracted for 3Mbps or 6Mbps, ie HUP35/45. 
....... Each 4G cell tower could ony serve a maximum of 12 active richer postpaid Maxis subscribers at 100Mbps, ie 1,200Mbps divided by 100Mbps = 12.
....... If got 60 active richer postpaid subscribers per cell tower, each can get ony 20Mbps.

Number of active subscribers exceeding the above numbers results in 4G LTE network congestion = reduced speeds. Eg if got 1,000 active subscribers, each will get only 1.2Mbps, ie 1,200Mbps divided by 1,000.
= solution is for the celco to limit the selling of its phone plans or to increase the number of 4G LTE cell towers = both are very expensive solutions.

The complaints of richer postpaid subscribers should likely carry more weight in Maxis. Hence, Maxis took the cheapest solution by throttling the poorer HUP35/45 subscribers as above, in order for the active  richer postpaid subscribers to get higher speeds and also to push the latter poor folks to upgrade to the more expensive postpaid plans.

Maybe Maxis should not have entered the affordable(= for poor folks) unlimited prepaid market in June 2020, ie remained focused on the high-end(= for rich folks) postpaid market macam Apple Inc and Tesla.

.
P S - Note that Maxis Mobile has to pay TM HSBB Fiber company about RM90 for 30Mbps of bandwidth for its 4G LTE cell towers' backhaul connections to the World Wide Web or www = Rm9 per 3Mbps.

Irrelevant. Even Maxis one wifi subscriber paying 138/month also facing the same throttle 8pm-12am.

Maxis is just shit.
