Maxis Fibre at Uni Capital / Uni Square
Coverage check, rental installation guide & wiring tips for older blocks (2026)
This page covers the major student apartment clusters: Uni Capital, Uni Square, and Uni Media. These older, high-density blocks are the backbone of UNIMAS off-campus housing. Fibre coverage is excellent, but unit wiring varies by block age.

What to prepare (Student Rentals)
Avoid installation failures by checking these first:
-
Old Wiring Check Some older Uni Capital units have damaged internal phone sockets. The installer may need to drill a small hole to bring new fibre cable in. Ensure landlord agrees.
-
Keys to Grill If your unit has a locked grill at the corridor, make sure you have the key. Installers need to access the riser outside your door.
-
Housemate Agreement Decide who will be the "Owner" of the account. That person needs to provide their IC/Passport.
-
Extension Cord Old units have few power plugs. Have a reliable extension cord ready near the TV area for the router and modem.

Uni Capital Checklist
Older blocks, usually 3-4 storeys walk-up.

Riser Access Riser boxes are often on the ground floor or stairwells. Ensure no bikes/shoes are blocking access.

Address Accuracy Uni Square addresses can be tricky. Use the exact address from your electricity bill to avoid "Address Not Found" errors.
