Unifi>Maxis>Unifi, waiting to switch again user here
I subscribed to Unifi during MCO, switched to Maxis because of bad routing till my contract with Maxis has ended.
The only reason for me to choose Unifi is because of the 6 months free bill, however...if you get the transfer ID from Unifi and go argue with Maxis, they will give you the same free bill offering as well...

I will switch back to Maxis again once my contract with Unifi has ended, because their routing is equally bad like 4 years ago...

So if Maxis counter you with the same free 6 months, you will stay on?

They counter me with 8 months
I declined them as I need public IP but they said I still need to pay for it
Also, I asked them about the 1Gbps RM159 promo...they refused to give it to me
After I moved to Unifi, that promo showed up in my Maxis app lol

To be honest, if given a second chance...I would stick with Maxis
Be missing out plenty of free speed upgrade that's for sure
But at least the international routing is better, cant browse twitter before bedtime is just sad

Agree. Public IP is non negociable for Maxis promo currently. I am lucky to have move away from Unifi otherwise have to consider upgrading to avoid their CGNAT which is terrible.
I use Maxis 100mbps on their private IP which is good enough for my use case.

Yes, Maxis consider public IP as an added service hence the extra charge
I need the public IP for my VPN because TIME's routing to China is bad
Guess there's not a single ISP that gives you everything in Malaysia...

Either bad routing, bad pricing, bad coverage or bad upload speed...

Try to ask them for the transfer ID and poke Maxis with it
