Maxis vs CelcomDigi Fibre & Home WiFi Malaysia (2026): Price, Coverage & Which Is Better

Our Verdict (Apr 2026)
For standalone fibre, Maxis wins on price at every speed tier. For 5G Home WiFi, CelcomDigi just launched a new WiFi 7 Premium router (9 Apr 2026) — but Maxis counters with FREE TNG credits up to RM200 and the 5G Plus Router + Mesh combo. For bundling Postpaid + Fibre, Maxis wins again with the Raya Converge Deals: FREE iPad 11" (back 10–30 Apr!), FREE 55" Samsung TV, or FREE 3 Months — none of which CelcomDigi can match.

This comparison covers fibre pricing, 5G Home WiFi pricing (updated for CelcomDigi's 9 April 2026 relaunch), coverage reality, and when each provider actually makes sense. Both use TM's HSBB fibre network in most areas — so the real difference is in pricing, promo structure, device bundles, and wireless alternatives.

*Prices as of April 2026. Final pricing depends on address, port type, and campaign period.

1. Real Price — Maxis vs CelcomDigi Fibre (Standalone)

CelcomDigi's standalone fibre starts at RM129/mth for 100 Mbps. Maxis after promo starts at RM89/mth. Here's the full comparison:

Speed Maxis (after promo) CelcomDigi (standalone) Winner
100 Mbps RM89 RM129 Maxis saves RM40/mth
300 Mbps ⭐ RM99 (postpaid) ~RM169* Maxis saves ~RM70/mth
500 Mbps RM139 (postpaid) ~RM169–219* Maxis saves RM30–80/mth
1 Gbps RM159 (postpaid) ~RM269–319* Maxis saves RM110–160/mth

*CelcomDigi standalone fibre pricing varies. Their 300Mbps requires an add-on charge of RM40 on top of base. Prices can be lower when bundled with CelcomDigi ONE postpaid plans. Maxis postpaid prices reflect lifetime Converge rebate structure. Both depend on address and port type.

🎉 Maxis Raya Converge Deals (1 Mar – 30 Apr 2026): Maxis Postpaid customers signing up new Home Fibre 500Mbps or 1Gbps can choose FREE iPad 11" 128GB (10–30 Apr only), FREE 55" Samsung TV, or FREE 3 Months. 300Mbps gets FREE 3 Months only. CelcomDigi fibre has no equivalent device bundle.

2. CelcomDigi ONE Bundle vs Maxis Postpaid + Fibre — Which Makes Sense?

CelcomDigi's main value proposition is their ONE 2026 bundle which combines fibre + postpaid + entertainment. Here's how it compares to buying Maxis Fibre + Maxis Postpaid separately:

Maxis (Fibre + Postpaid separate)
Fibre 300 Mbps: RM99/mth (lifetime rebate)
Postpaid (e.g., MUP 65): RM65/mth
Total: ~RM164/mth

✅ No lock-in between fibre and mobile
✅ Lifetime rebate (not 24-month)
✅ FREE iPad/TV/3M on 500Mbps+
✅ Can cancel one without affecting the other
CelcomDigi ONE Pro (Bundle)
500 Mbps Fibre + 1 Postpaid + Disney+: RM240/mth

✅ Higher fibre speed included
✅ Disney+ Basic included
⚠ Fibre and postpaid are tied together
⚠ Cannot get fibre rebate independently
⚠ Cancelling postpaid affects fibre pricing
Bottom line: CelcomDigi ONE bundles are attractive if you genuinely need 500 Mbps + multiple postpaid lines + Disney+. But if you just want good fibre internet for your home, Maxis standalone is cheaper and simpler — no bundle lock-in, no complicated rebate conditions. And with the Raya Converge Deals, Maxis Postpaid customers get a FREE iPad or Samsung TV worth up to RM2,699 — CelcomDigi has no equivalent.

3. Maxis 5G Home WiFi vs CelcomDigi 5G Home WiFi (Updated 9 Apr 2026)

No fibre port at your address? Both Maxis and CelcomDigi offer 5G/4G wireless home internet. CelcomDigi just relaunched their Home WiFi on 9 April 2026 with a new WiFi 7 Premium router and a new 12-month Essential contract option. Here's the honest comparison:

Feature Maxis Home WiFi 99 Maxis 5G Plus 159 CelcomDigi Essential CelcomDigi Premium
Monthly Price RM79 (w/ rebate) RM129 (w/ rebate) RM89 (w/ rebate) RM109 (w/ rebate)

Contract 12/24M 24M 12M or 24M 24M
Device Upfront Varies Varies RM100 RM200
🟢 Where Maxis Home WiFi Wins
Cheapest entry: RM79/mth (vs CelcomDigi RM89). FREE TNG credits up to RM200 (CelcomDigi offers nothing equivalent). 5G Plus Router + Mesh combo (RM129/mth) gives whole-home coverage — CelcomDigi's Premium is single-router only. Maxis fibre upgrade path: if your address gets fibre later, you can bridge from Maxis Home WiFi to Maxis Fibre seamlessly.
🔵 Where CelcomDigi Home WiFi Wins
WiFi 7 router on Premium plan (Maxis still uses WiFi 6). AI Apps Turbo optimizer for gaming/streaming/work modes. FREE Viu Premium for 24 months (worth ~RM22/mth). New 12-month contract option (Essential plan) — great for short-term stays or students.
💡 Our advice: If you just need cheap, reliable wireless internet, Maxis Home WiFi 99 at RM79/mth is the cheapest option on the market — RM10/mth cheaper than CelcomDigi, plus FREE TNG credits. But if you want the latest WiFi 7 tech and Viu Premium entertainment, CelcomDigi's Premium at RM109/mth is worth a look. Either way, check 4G/5G signal at your address first — signal quality matters more than the router brand.

4. Coverage — Both Use the Same Fibre Network

Both Maxis Fibre and CelcomDigi Fibre run on TM's HSBB wholesale network in most areas. The physical fibre cable to your house is often identical. This means:

If Maxis Fibre is available at your address
CelcomDigi Fibre is likely also available (same infrastructure). The question then becomes: who gives you a better deal? For standalone fibre, Maxis wins on price.
East Malaysia note
CelcomDigi Fibre coverage in Sabah and Sarawak is more limited. Maxis has stronger dealer presence and coverage check support in East Malaysia via SACOFA infrastructure.
For 5G Home WiFi coverage: Both depend on 4G/5G signal strength at your specific address. Signal varies by tower distance, congestion, building material, and floor level. Neither provider can guarantee consistent speed — always check first.

FAQ — Maxis vs CelcomDigi

Is Maxis Fibre cheaper than CelcomDigi?

For standalone fibre, yes. Maxis after promo is significantly cheaper at every speed tier: 100Mbps at RM89 (vs RM129), 300Mbps at RM99 postpaid (vs ~RM169), and 1Gbps at RM159 postpaid (vs ~RM269–319). CelcomDigi's value comes from their ONE bundle plans which include postpaid and entertainment, but those cost RM240–300/mth.

Do Maxis and CelcomDigi use the same fibre network?

In most areas, yes. Both use TM's HSBB wholesale infrastructure. The physical fibre cable is often identical — what differs is pricing, promo structure, router, and customer service.

How does CelcomDigi's new Home WiFi compare to Maxis?

CelcomDigi relaunched their 5G Home WiFi on 9 April 2026 with two tiers: Essential at RM89/mth (100Mbps, WiFi 6) and Premium at RM109/mth (uncapped, WiFi 7 with AI optimization, Viu Premium). Maxis Home WiFi 99 is cheaper at RM79/mth but uses WiFi 6. Maxis also offers FREE TNG credits up to RM200, which CelcomDigi doesn't match. Both depend heavily on 4G/5G signal at your specific location.

Can I get a FREE iPad with Maxis but not CelcomDigi?

Yes. During the Raya Converge Deals (1 Mar – 30 Apr 2026), Maxis Postpaid customers signing up new Home Fibre 500Mbps or 1Gbps can choose FREE iPad 11" 128GB (10–30 Apr only), FREE 55" Samsung TV, or FREE 3 Months. CelcomDigi fibre has no equivalent device bundle offer during this period. This is one of the strongest differentiators for Maxis right now.

Is CelcomDigi's WiFi 7 router worth the extra RM30/mth over Maxis?

It depends on your devices. WiFi 7 offers better speeds and multi-link operation, but most phones and laptops in 2026 still use WiFi 6. If you have the latest flagship phones or gaming PCs with WiFi 7 support, you'll benefit. Otherwise, the speed difference between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 is minimal for typical home use. Maxis's Router + Mesh combo (5G Plus 159) may actually give better whole-home coverage than CelcomDigi's single WiFi 7 router, depending on house size.

Is CelcomDigi Fibre available in Sabah and Sarawak?

Coverage in East Malaysia is more limited for CelcomDigi Fibre. Maxis has stronger dealer presence and coverage support in Sabah (CTS infrastructure) and Sarawak (SACOFA infrastructure). Check your address to confirm availability.
