no brainer. best prepaid deal ever.

totally beat any other telco upside down with this new plan.

no brainer. 5GB is too little.

Possible. They can change the passes they offer anytime if no Auto renewal.

But given that this is a new plan with the 'unlimited' word in its name. Likely that the unlimited feature of this plan will stay and as long as one never switches to other plan.

Same like those who are fast plan still get 2GB weekend data which is meant to be forever.

If you are going for this plan you pretty much are expected to pay a fixed monthly fee which is rm35 (or rm38 after the promo price) in long run. To me it is totally fair price to pay for the package given.

I am on bagus WM plan but I only use it for voice/SMS only and not data since it does not have basic Internet and data will be on pay per use a bit risky if never monitor the usage of passes closely. And the monthly passes are not attractive at all and it is same price as the new plan monthly passes. So that time I need to combine usage with yes 4G 3Mbps/4Mbps unlimited prepaid plan at rm30/rm40 per month.

So this new plan is a no brainer for me.

It should a 'renaming' of red plan with added free video data to make it more attractive.
for those who wants red plan limited data but with no speed cap.

people want choose this plan if they dun want to use the speed cap but unlimited plan.

no way.

however, you can actually change to the High-Speed Video Internet plan. it is actually having similar offering (in fact better) than last time Red Plan.

Now rm35 you can get 8GB. Last time red plan you only get 5GB.
Now rm45 gives u 10GB, last time rm45 only has 8GB.

you are referring to the previous red plan? of course no more. this is a brand new plan.

however, with the 'unlimited' internet, why bother about the 1gb high speed internet anymore?


urs is hotlink fast i supposed?

it comes with 2GB weekend data permanently rite? did not know it comes with free 1GB data daily also.
but the bad part about hotlink fast the legacy plan is that it does not come with basic Internet. so if you dun have a internet pass, it will incur pay per use data charge and all your credit balance can be gone in no time.

but the free 2GB weekend data forver is indeed attractive.

however, with the new unlimited plan, i find it more worth it even compare to hotlink fast.
although hotlink fast comes 2GB weekend free, you still need to top up a min rm30 monthly to keep the line active and likely you need to activate a monthly pass for the usage beyond that. you need to pay for calls also.

rm35 fixed price then without the need to worry about extra charges for calls or data, that's the best deal.
somemore now top up has offer, rm30 top up gets extra rm5, just nice to activate rm35 3Mbps unlimited internet pass.

rm30 per month nett price to pay. dun think the old plan can fight even.

nevertheless, the unlimited plan is better in anyway no matter how the legacy plans are. this is the key conclusion.

My current plan is bagus plan too. Already bought 365 validity and it lasts until September.

As I am not in bolehland now, will only upgrade the plan the later. The unlimited plan to be is perfectly fine.

I was paying rm30 for yes prepaid unlimited data plan also.

indeed. during this period, one will need much lesser data on the go than before.

actually if can get full speed of 3Mbps, stream youtube video at 1080p should also be ok with a little bit of buffering at first.

No expiry. As long as ur credit is active.

Totally make sense.

yeah totally no more for quick some time. Luckily from previous offers top up quite a lot. Now got a lot of credits left too.

New app UI.

1 hour video on youtube (1080p) is around 1GB. do the math u will know if it is enough. set at 480p probably half the usage.

1. no idea. i never add any payment method in my hotlink app at all. every time top up just manually done via credit card or online banking.

2. no way to check usage, if u are on unlimited plan. but hotlink will sms u when u are about to finish ur 50GB before the throttled (if not wrong).

dun go for 3Mbps, u can only stream video on youtube at 480p by default (unless u manually set to 720p or 1080p which it will cause the video not able to be loaded becos of the slow speed or u need to wait for the buffering which may not complete also).

spending extra rm10 for 2x more speed is certainly worth it for overall better experience.

for my own experience with hotlink unlimited plan is bad, i experienced a lot of blind spots in jaybee and i often encounter problem connecting to internet even for surfing web. or video streaming will be stuck while i am on the go (driving).

i am quite surprised that maxis network can be that bad now, previously my experience on maxis postpaid is quite ok. not sure why hotlink is such bad. i tot they should be similar since all on maxis network.

even i use my hotlink sim card to subscribe plan that has uncapped speed data, still the same. it is more of the network coverage issue or network congestion or blind spot and nothing to do with the plan.

my experience with hotlink is bad.

my experience with maxis postpaid is quite good. i am suprised how bad is hotlink.
