This means to say, TS couldn't afford Maxis services if relying on ngam2 payday to settle the bills. No savings or spare cash for a rainy day?

I was with Maxis for 20+ years since Day 1. Once they stopped giving existing users benefits, I MNP out to U Mobile. Now, U Mobile is not only cheaper (by 60%) for a family plan but coverage as good as Maxis in the city areas.

My XOX/Celcom is even worse. Even in KD, only getting E instead of 4G. The merger with DiGi really killed the service quality.
