5G that consistent? for streaming and gaming? Last time I tried, the so high speed dont actually meet my expectation. The ping, packet loss

Maxis have excellent connectivity and peering with SG IX.

Unifi is known for its peak hours slowdown during night but it doesn't seem to happen in Maxis.

Maxis and TIME landed areas are expanding fast in major cities throughout Malaysia.

Heard that some new housing areas in Taiping and Sri Iskandar(nearby UTP), Perak now have TIME landed coverage.

SPEND SOME MONEY for a better router.

like I said before

many ppl very kiamsiap when it comes to good router but can pay expensive monthly subscription for the internet

this, I cannot brain.

it is like paying ron 100 for kancil 660

those telco supplied router are just plain sucks

get the mid tier router from asus, tp-link is better, bigger ram that can handle bigger traffic, better soc. yes bandwidth is way more important than the latest router available in the market

for example

AX73 5400
under rm500

TP-LINK AX 73 AX5400



OR

if u guys on budget, can consider TP-Link Archer AX53 RM only RM200 plus now

Cheap TP-LINK AX53 AX3000

TM router setup is the easiest and very straight forward , compared to maxis or time ( need to call helpline to change to ap mode )

all you need is your user id and password, in case u cannot access your router , just contact TM helpline, they will give u back

dont worry others wont be bothered to steal your credentials

this setup similar even on other routers

i would suggest maxis
same like u from TIME>Unifi>Maxis
overall less headache with Maxis..
TIME the best experienced i had.
Unifi is the worst high ping, high packet loss report was made and the issue only solve a few days then it happen again
Maxis stable ping and packet loss + zerolution package is a win for me

Depends on if you have family or can use more than 4-5 lines.
If you like Maxis Unlimited 4G/5G. Maxis Family Plan the best.

But Maxis customer service is utterly shit recently.

Most of the time I think many subscribers suffer these in silent, but dont know what to do

random disconnects
unstable connections

some of them dont even know their own user id and password, dunno how to access the url, how to change the pwd, how to change router

no thanks to telco that keep giving free sampah router which will degrade fast within a year ngam ngam warranty finish.

why cant they sell better router like what they do with hp? educate lah your subscribers. real pndk these telco. unifi, maxis, time , all the same. real hkc.

Same case like me.

In condo last time using TIME 500mb/s
Now in new house using unifi 500mb/s too but alot of different.
I just notice both package download speed the same but upload speed TIME remain at 500mb/s while unifi at 100mb/s.
No choice as I realize it after sign 2 years contract.

Unifi overall OK but need to change the router. Currently running with Orbi, stable no issue.

TM
Pro - if hardware/fibre issue usually they will come fix within 24 hours.
Con - Basically unusable between 8pm - 1am daily.

Maxis
Pro - Even if using Maxis on TM infra, way better international peering and bandwidth throughput the day.
Con - if outside fibre problem, turnaround will be longer if your Maxis is riding on TM infra, because Maxis and TM will waste time ding-dong each other before resolution.

I agree about this except Cons of unifi. It's not unusable but basically slower between 8pm - 1am. Cannot get stable 1GBps for my case..

PS: I stay with unifi >10 years bcoz multiple upgrade. Basically just RM179. broadband + all unifi tv channel+ disney + max + multiples aps..
