No need to look at price. Being on fiber alone is already an extremely good upgrade.

Anyone subscribed after the merger?

Which network did they put you in? (also, which agent/counter did you register from)

Before merger Celcom 300mbps package was rm140 as STANDARD price.

Seems like they really want to push existing Celcom 300mbps to 500mbps

wtf happened lmao
Becme topkek after merge with digi


It's tempting to jump ship, but the network perks I'm getting right now from the old Celcom policy (the one that dials via celcomfirstfibre.com.my domain) makes it not worth it to do yet.
For newer existing customers there is absolutely no reason to stay.

Same price right.
If you are on public ip then definitely don't. Old celcom contracts has the best public ip with its static subnet.

Celcom generally has more stable network (can't remember the last time celcom had nationwide or even regional downtime or slowdown episode)

But unifi got ipv6 and telephone and faster TAT in case anything bad happen to your physical fiber.

If you are newer or never requested public ip then better just move to unifi.

Newer subscriber like you definitely better jump. There is zero perks to retain if you stay. If you don't care about public ip, go maxis cheaper.
Maxis with public ip +rm10 means same price with tm so better get unifi instead.

Don't think much about these swu stuff. Its not guaranteed and in between that 2 years 'maturity time' for any offer many things can happen.

Wonder if i upgrade to 500mbps it will switch to new price.
Im on old celcom contract, upgrade is free and does not reset contract.

But then again im still salty that the new 300mbps price is only rm1 cheaper than what I currently pay.

I enjoyed everything about celcom network. I subscribed unifi for my office and Celcom for home. In term of network quality Celcom is far superior in many aspects.
But if they are treating their customers like this while making record high profit, Im going to switch to same price unifi 500mb for my home next year, out of spite.

Not quite sure. Since the in old contract upgrade is not same as changing plan. Everything run as usual, just wait 24 hrs for new speed and prorated bill to take effect. no need to sign anything new or reset 2-yrs commitment. Changing plan is more like moving from celcom timur infra to hsbb with all new contract and stuff.
Looking at how they handle things lately, there's possibility they won't fully honor the old contract and make me sign new one with 2 yrs lock in, citing the new pricing is offered by Celcomdigi, not Celcom (as defined in old contract) anymore.

Free as in no admin fee or any string attached. Just call, wait 24hrs and pay new rate (as opposed to downgrade with rm50 penalty).

I plan to upgrade to 500mbps for few months before porting out to unifi.
Lots of my network setup are revolving closely around the fact that Celcom offered a static /24 subnet for their public ip.
Unifi doesn't have this advantage.
Also lots of my remote servers are deeply tailored to Celom's peering network. so I need some time for reconfiguration and testing before porting out.

If you are not already invested in any advantages of being in Celcom network, better take Unifi. Got phone. Faster TAT if cable break.
Network quality going to be quite meh, but as "fuck you" gesture to Celcomdigi its already worth it.

And then there is people who did not get both:
Old Celcom 300mbs customers that ended getting only rm1 price cut💀, and even that is still not reflected in their current bills.

Still in contract period?

No difference mostly. But could be better.

On my unifi 500mb, when downloading something from many oversea locations, I can hardly reach 150mbps on that single server. Tm international gateway is way too congested or probably capped.

On my celcom 300mb, lots of time I am able to saturate the whole 300mbps.

My take is, if you live with family with many users downloading from many different servers, unifi offers better value. My experience with tm so far whwn it comes to oversea server is like having several 130mbps aggregated into 500mb. Bad for single user, but no prob when many people use at once.

But if you live alone and want every single mb you paid gets to actual use, celcom offers better performance for this. But they don't have concept of customer loyalty or retention in their business book, so expect to pay the same amount you pay today for next 5 years.

From my past experience it is much more stable and more often than not Celcom will remain online when TM had nationwide breakdown.

Public IP allows the world connect directly to your computer that opens up possibilities of advanced networking use case right from your PC.

If you currently use TM 300mbps and below and have no complain, means you don't need one. Because those packages are not public IP.

Oh that actually makes me feels good.

When I ported to TM earlier this year just to save rm10 monthly it was full of regret.
