i guess so...

becos now if u are existing unifi users, no matter which telcos u want to switch to (be it Digi, celcom or maxis), u need to

1) first sign up with the telco,
2) then they can request for the transfer request id from tm
3) one the telco provides u the transfer request id, then u need to go to tm point to submit the transfer request
4) when u submit the transfer request, tm may counter offer u the package of rm129 -300Mbps perpertual with additional 6 months free subscription fee (if request is from maxis or astro, if others, no extra 6 months free)
5) if u choose to stay with unifi, the transfer request id will be cancelled. (this is when maxis, digi or celcom will flip table). something like 'To the meat in the mouth fly away'. hahaha.

but this TM is stubborn that they will never 'automatically' offer better deal to keep u until u do the above. so it is a chicken and egg problem. haha.

but as of today i went tm point, still have 6 months free for transfer request id from maxis to stay with unifi.
so it is not necessary the 6 months given by tm to stay with them for maxis transfer request to match the promo date of maxis promo.

besides, may i know how to get the 6 months free for existing unifi user? (i am asking for before promo end) via what channel? online sign up - i never see this promo before for existing unifi user even... or must sign up via agent to get it?

the current promo for signing up online is 1 month free for 300Mbps plan and above plus optional mid year deals...

then how to 'transfer'? via agent????

online also can do the 'transfer', this is what i did, once u are redicted to their whatsapp, they will check ur address, and they will know if u are existing unifi user, if yes, transfer request required also.

i applied already... waiting for maxis to update on the transfer request id...

i bluffed that i never submitted the request from other service provider (which is digi) but the transfer request id from digi will expire today 5 July 2022. I believe that i should get the transfer request id from maxis tomorrow onwards.

I can sign up using WhatsApp as u can see. maxis whatsapp for fibre broadband sign up is responsive i would say. never delay in the reply so far for the whole process.
I am not sure if maxis support is ok or not though. i only had maxis postpaid mobile with them long long time ago... one thing bad about maxis mobile even hotlink is that even u disable data roaming ,postpaid will still charge u rm38 for daily roaming plan such as in lion city. for hotlink even disable data roaming, also may get some pay per use unknown data charge. all becos if u are on their 4G network, there will be handshakes between ur mobile phone and their network which then they take it that u used data.

one thing about using fibre broadband other than unifi is that if really need technical support sure will not be seamless like unifi.

Even digi I sign up via WhatsApp also. but their whatsapp team replied quite slow. replied them one message it took quite a while before they replied the next message.

This is why I am hesitating to use services other than unifi.

Waiting to get my maxis transfer request id so that I can use it to bargain hahaha.

Nice! Got it!

So ur promo is rm129 for 300Mbps + 6 months free subscription rite?

Did they give u any free wifi router?

icic. thanks.

i have the transfer request id from maxis. see if later i can make it on time to ask for the deal at tm point before they close today.

so when u went there to submit the request, u straightaway asked for the deal rite?

as of my last visit to them on tuesday, there is still such deal with free 6 months for maxis transfer request.

yeah. hope i will get the same deal too.

can't wait to visit tm point later. haha.

What the flower, went down to tm point only then being told the below. And they told me it is nationwide down meaning go to any tm point also same?

I was asked to go back again on Monday. Damn.

nice spot. haha.

Bro, after u made the change to the plan at tm point. How many days it take for them to upgrade ur speed remotely?

icic. nice. do update us what exact brand and model of wifi routers u received.
from what i was offered previously, they said they will give 2 x wifi 5 routers which can be quite useless.

Fibre and VDSL is totally day and night. Just go with fibre for long run.

Times is not available at ur condo? If yes, go with them anytime. If not, unifi is always a preferred choice.

Faster speed u can go at the lower price is rm129 for 100Mbps.

Does tm charges any relocation fee if u move to a new house with unifi coverage?

I know on paper there is a charge clearly stated but in real anyone has tried the relocation before?

ic.. good that it is free...

last time i remembered there was an rm200 to rm300 relocation fee...

i am using linksys mesh wifi router (which somehow i find it super rare in bolehland, most ppl do not even consider/use this brand of wifi router, but it is my fav and only brand i use for wifi router), it comes with 5GHz band steering function.
so both my 5GHz and 2.4GHz are using the same SSID, but as much as possible, the devices will be connected to 5GHz.
