01 Quick comparison

Side-by-side look at the headline differences

At every speed tier that most SMEs consider, Maxis Business Fibre is currently lower in monthly cost. The gap is widest at 300Mbps and 500Mbps — the two tiers most growing SMEs land on.

Plan tier Maxis Business Fibre Unifi Business What this means
100Mbps RM119/mth
Save RM10/mth
RM129/mth
(Promo RM99/mth for first 24 months)
For small shops and home offices, the two providers are closest here, though Unifi's promo price is also worth noting.
300Mbps RM149/mth
Save RM100/mth
RM249/mth For a growing SME, this is the biggest gap. Over 24 months that is RM2,400 difference on price alone.
500Mbps RM189/mth
Save RM110/mth
RM299/mth For offices running CCTV, cloud and multiple staff devices, Maxis keeps a clear price lead at this popular tier.
1Gbps RM279/mth
Save RM40/mth
RM319/mth For larger teams, the gap narrows but Maxis still shows a lower monthly figure while keeping the same bundled hardware.
Included value WiFi 6 router, FREE Mesh WiFi (300M+), 4G wireless backup, 1 unlimited IP voice line with DECT phone, Maxpert consultation & install WiFi 6 Combo Box router, FREE Mesh WiFi, Simple Voice Plus with DECT phone, free call credits (RM50–RM70) Hardware is roughly matched. The real difference is that Maxis includes always-on 4G wireless backup — Unifi Business does not bundle this.
Contract 24 months 24 months Identical commitment period on both sides, so this is not a decision-maker.
Best fit Businesses that want lower shown pricing plus 4G backup and local consultation Businesses already on TM infrastructure or who prefer to stay within their current provider The better option depends on whether your priority is price, bundled value, switching ease or staying put.
Prices shown follow each provider's published business-fibre campaign material at the time of writing. Prices stated may be subject to Service Tax (SST). Confirm the latest status during consultation, especially if your business address may qualify for a different pricing route.
02 What actually matters

Most businesses do not buy on speed alone. They compare daily usefulness.

A good comparison should sound like a business conversation, not a brochure. These are the three areas that usually shape the final decision.

Business continuity

4G backup is the clearest functional difference

When the fibre line drops, Maxis Business Fibre automatically fails over to a 4G wireless connection. Unifi Business does not bundle a backup path. For shops and offices where POS, CCTV or cloud tools stop working the moment internet goes down, this matters more than a few ringgit.

  • Unique to Maxis at this price point
  • Useful for retail, clinics, restaurants
  • Reduces the operational cost of unexpected outages
Setup value

Bundled hardware is roughly matched

Both providers include a WiFi 6 router and free Mesh WiFi on higher tiers. Both include voice support and a DECT phone. Hardware is not where the decision tips — backup and price are.

  • Similar WiFi 6 hardware on both sides
  • Similar voice line + DECT phone
  • Maxpert consultation on Maxis side helps first-time SME sign-ups
03 Why some businesses choose Maxis

When businesses move to Maxis, it is often because they want more than just a cheaper bill

The current Maxis business-fibre offer gives several reasons that matter to businesses comparing providers seriously.

Local support

Useful when you want a real person to guide the setup

For some businesses, the decision is easier when there is local consultation available for questions about address, documents, switching and next steps.

  • Walk-in consultation at Aiman Mall and Emart Batu Kawa
  • Good for first-time business sign-ups
  • Useful if your admin team needs document help
  • Helpful when the business wants a clearer route instead of only self-service
04 Where Unifi Business may still suit better

A fair comparison should also say when Unifi is still the right call

Unifi Business is a serious product and wins for certain use cases. Being honest about this actually helps you make a faster, better decision.

Existing TM customer

You are already on TM infrastructure

If your company is already using Unifi Home, Unifi TV, or has an active business relationship with TM, staying inside the same ecosystem can simplify billing and support.

  • Single-provider billing
  • Consolidated customer service
  • Less switching friction
Fibre-first coverage

Your address is in Unifi's strongest coverage zone

TM has the largest fibre footprint in Malaysia. At some addresses Unifi may be available while Maxis own-build fibre is not. Coverage always beats price.

  • Check coverage before anything else
  • Maxis uses TM HSBB + own-build routes
  • Some locations only have one viable option
Need 2Gbps

You need 2Gbps for business

Unifi Business offers an aggregated 2Gbps plan (RM369/mth). Maxis Business Fibre currently tops out at 1Gbps. For data-heavy businesses that genuinely use more than 1Gbps, Unifi has a path Maxis does not.

  • Aggregated 2 × 1Gbps setup
  • Niche but real use case
  • Only relevant for heavy file-transfer businesses
05 How to decide faster

A simple way to choose the better option for your business reality

Most decisions become easier when the business follows a simple filter instead of getting stuck on too many tabs and screenshots.

Step 01

Check coverage at your address first

This is the real gatekeeper. Providers do not compete if only one of them covers your shoplot or office.

Step 02

Pick the speed level you actually need

Match to staff count and daily workload. Most SMEs land on 300Mbps or 500Mbps — that's where the Maxis price gap is biggest.

Step 03

Ask whether downtime hurts the business

If yes, the 4G backup included with Maxis Business Fibre is a meaningful functional advantage, not just a feature on a brochure.

Step 04

Check whether switching is the real blocker

If the current provider contract is in the way, review the switching route before dropping Maxis from the shortlist.

07 Frequently asked

Questions businesses usually ask before choosing between Maxis and Unifi

Yes, at the speeds most SMEs buy. Maxis is RM10/mth cheaper on 100Mbps, RM100/mth cheaper on 300Mbps, RM110/mth cheaper on 500Mbps, and RM40/mth cheaper on 1Gbps. Over a 24-month contract the 300Mbps tier alone is RM2,400 in savings.
4G wireless backup. Maxis Business Fibre includes always-on 4G failover so your premise stays online when the fibre line drops. Unifi Business does not bundle a backup path. For shops, clinics and retail environments where downtime directly costs money, this is the clearest functional gap.
Then the next page to open is the Easy Switch / OLO guide. That page explains the cleaner move-over path and what to prepare so termination cost does not block a better deal.
No. Coverage comes first — if only one provider reaches your address, that provider wins regardless of price. After coverage, compare downtime risk, bundled hardware, backup support and whether the setup actually matches how your staff and business operations use the line.
Three cases: your business needs 2Gbps (Maxis tops out at 1Gbps), your address only has TM fibre coverage, or you are already deep in the TM ecosystem and value single-provider billing over price savings.
Then check Maxis Business AirFibre instead. Some business locations need a more practical wireless setup route first.
