UMS Student Checklist

Smart sharing.

Bill Splitting A 300Mbps plan divided by 4 housemates is very affordable (~RM37/person). Assign one person to pay the bill via the Maxis app.
Semester Break The contract runs for 24 months. During semester breaks, you still pay the monthly fee. Most students keep it active or transfer the line to juniors staying over.

Family Checklist

For long-term residents.

Entertainment Since you live above a mall, your home entertainment needs to be top-notch. The fibre connection supports 4K streaming for family movie nights perfectly.
