I'm currently looking for cheap options of home wifi. It doesn't really matter if it's router running on SIM card or broadband fibre. Requirement is ideally unlimited data, speed of connection is not so important.

Currently the top two are Maxis and Unifi. Are there any other options or alternatives that I may not be aware of?

With Unifi cheapest broadband fibre plan is RM89


With Maxis cheapest wifi plan is RM79


Also, I heard from someone that Maxis will offer promotion from time to time with cheap wifi or fibre plans. Does anyone have any information on this?

I thought no more 100mbps plan?

I don't know, it's on the website.

Is that so ?
I am currently on 100.
So hopefully they will auto upgrade me after contract expires.

How many person using the WiFi?

Can go for
2 person: Yes5G prepaid RM30 per person (RM25 if auto debit).
3 persons+: Yes5G data postpaid RM68 (3years contract) with free 5G modem, RM58 no contract (hotspot from old phone).

Cons if using Yes5G: Coverage and poor reception during heavy thunderstorms (happens for most mobile broadband tech if far away from telco tower.

Else as what you suggested, go for maxis. UNIFI Rm89 can get waiver 6 months if you search thru agent.

Thanks. I tried Yes4G long time ago when the Yes wifi device was given as free with a purchase of a car, must be more than 10 years ago. Will explore.

This is something that I am worried if I miss out the details. As what I was informed, sometimes there are offers or discounts with severely slashed prices of home wifi packages that I may not be aware of, the promotion quietly offered and not being made public or posted on the website. I'll need to find out more. If given a choice, it's safer to stay with the big boys ie. Maxis/Unifi. I believe Maxis is running promotion or (quiet) offers from time to time, Unifi may not do that.

U Home 5G at Rm68 is also an option. If possible, get your own 5G modem, the provided one isn't great.

Another option is Allo
But you need to be in their coverage lah

Thanks, this is the cheapest so far. Will check. Are you on Allo? IF yes how is the performance of the wifi connection?

Getting mine installed today (hopefully)
Will give you an update in a few days
But do check for the coverage first

Thanks, though it is unfortunate that there is no Allo coverage at my area after the customer service checked and confirmed. Maxis and Unifi are significantly costlier, almost 2X the price of Allo's RM49.
