The short answer: if your address has Maxis coverage and you're a Maxis Postpaid customer, Maxis 1Gbps at RM159/month is significantly cheaper than Unifi 1Gbps at RM249/month — plus you pick one reward at RM1/mth (iPad on 1Gbps, 55″ TV) or 3 months free. If Maxis isn't available at your address, Unifi remains a strong default. This guide shows the full price comparison, current promo, and step-by-step switching plan.
For most Malaysian households, Maxis is cheaper if you qualify for the Postpaid converge bundle — 300Mbps at RM99, 500Mbps at RM139, and 1Gbps at RM159, each with a free reward worth up to RM2,999. Unifi prices at the same tiers are RM129, RM149 and RM249 respectively (before SST). The catch is coverage: Unifi is more widely available, so checking your exact address comes first.
If your address has Maxis coverage and you're on (or willing to take) Maxis Postpaid, the converge bundle is genuinely the cheaper option at every speed tier — and the pick-one reward (RM1/mth iPad on 1Gbps, RM1/mth Galaxy Tab S10 Lite on 500Mbps, a TV at RM10/mth, or 3 months free) adds real value Unifi doesn't match. Strongest case: 1Gbps customers, where the gap is RM90/month.
Unifi is the safer default when Maxis is not yet rolled out to your address, when your building is already Unifi-ready, or when an early-termination fee from your existing Unifi contract would erase the savings. Unifi ran a Mid Year Sale (10 May–30 July 2026), which has since ended, so check the live signup price before deciding.
The strongest Maxis advantage isn't the base fibre price. It's the Postpaid + Home Fibre converge deal, where eligible Maxis Postpaid customers get lower monthly pricing plus one free reward. Current promo: Merdeka Converge Deals, 20 August–30 September 2026.
For eligible Maxis Postpaid converge customers. Pick one reward: 3 months free Home Fibre, or a device at RM1/month (iPad or Galaxy Tab S10 Lite depending on tier) or a TV at RM10/month.
Best balance for most homes. Pick one: 3 months free, Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite 128GB at RM1/month, or Samsung 55″ 4K UHD TV at RM10/month.
Strongest value vs Unifi 1Gbps at RM249. Pick one: 3 months free, Apple iPad 11″ from RM1/month, or Samsung 55″ 4K UHD TV from RM10/month.
Three columns matter here: the Maxis Postpaid converge price (where the deal lives), Maxis standalone (without Postpaid), and Unifi's published rate. The biggest gaps appear at 300Mbps and 1Gbps.

In many areas, Maxis Fibre runs on TM's High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) access network. Maxis also has other network access arrangements and its own fibre footprint in selected areas — so the exact infrastructure path varies by location.
When Maxis uses TM HSBB access, the physical fibre cable to your home may be related to TM's network. This is the source of the "same cable, different provider" perception.
Pricing, billing, router, mobile bundle, customer support, installation flow and campaign offers are all different — and that's where the value gap actually lives.
300Mbps from Maxis and 300Mbps from Unifi are both 300Mbps on paper. What you actually feel at home depends more on WiFi coverage, router placement, device capability and house layout than on which brand is on the bill.
WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 routers help — but only if your devices support those standards and the router is placed centrally.
Double-storey homes, thick concrete walls and long layouts cause weak WiFi even when fibre is fast. Mesh helps more than a higher plan.
Gaming, CCTV, video calls, smart TVs and old devices can affect real experience more than the provider brand name.
One thing worth knowing if you're moving from Unifi: customers switching to Maxis Home Fibre can take a separate Big Screen TV Bundle — a Samsung 65″ or 75″ TV with a FREE soundbar, on instalment. This is a distinct offer, not one of the converge "pick-one" rewards above, and it pairs best with 500Mbps at RM149/month for the first 24 months.
Samsung 65″ Neo QLED TV (QN80H) with FREE soundbar, RM125/month × 36 months. Total bundle savings around RM2,568. Subject to eligibility, approval and stock.
Samsung 75″ Mini LED 4K TV (M80H) with FREE soundbar, RM153/month × 36 months. Total bundle savings around RM2,690. Subject to eligibility, approval and stock.
If you decide to switch, do it in the correct order. Don't terminate Unifi before your new Maxis line is installed and tested.

For most Malaysian households with Maxis coverage, yes — the Maxis Postpaid converge bundle is cheaper than Unifi at every speed tier, with the biggest gap at 1Gbps (RM159 vs RM249). The pick-one reward (3 months free, or a device: TV at RM10/mth, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite at RM1/mth on 500Mbps, or iPad at RM1/mth on 1Gbps) adds real value Unifi doesn't match. The only situations where Unifi is better: Maxis isn't available at your address, you're locked into a Unifi contract, or your building isn't Maxis-ready.
Not automatically. Both providers offer the same fibre speed tiers (100Mbps, 300Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps), and real home experience depends on coverage, router, WiFi setup, house layout, device capability and installation quality — not the brand on the bill.
In many areas, Maxis Fibre runs on TM's High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) access network — the same physical infrastructure that powers Unifi. However, Maxis also has other network access arrangements and its own fibre footprint in selected areas, so the exact infrastructure depends on your location. Pricing, customer service, router and bundle offers are very different even on the same cable.
Maxis is cheaper if you qualify for Postpaid converge pricing: 1Gbps at RM159/month vs Unifi's standard RM249 (a RM90/month gap); 300Mbps at RM99 vs Unifi RM129; 500Mbps at RM139 vs Unifi RM149. If you compare Maxis standalone vs Unifi standalone, the prices are similar. Unifi also runs seasonal sales, so always compare the live signup price for your exact plan.
The current Maxis Merdeka Converge Deals run from 20 August to 30 September 2026. Eligible Maxis Postpaid customers get 300Mbps from RM99, 500Mbps from RM139, or 1Gbps from RM159 — each with one pick-one reward (3 months free, Apple iPad 11″ on 1Gbps, Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite on 500Mbps, or a Samsung 4K UHD TV at RM10/month depending on the speed tier).
The converge pick-one rewards include TVs at a small monthly fee (Samsung 55″ or 65″ 4K UHD from RM10/month), not a fully free TV. There is a separate Big Screen TV Bundle for customers switching to Maxis Home Fibre: Samsung 65″ Neo QLED with FREE soundbar at RM125/month × 36 months, or Samsung 75″ Mini LED 4K with FREE soundbar at RM153/month × 36 months. Ask us to compare both paths.
Yes — but the order matters. Apply for Maxis first, wait for installation, test the line thoroughly, then terminate Unifi. Don't cancel Unifi before the new line works, or you'll be without internet for 1–3 weeks.
No. You need to handle Unifi termination through TM/Unifi after your Maxis line is installed and confirmed working. Unifi Home plans have a 24-month minimum contract, so check whether an early termination fee applies before switching.
If Maxis Fibre is not yet rolled out to your address, Unifi may genuinely be the better fibre option. You can also consider Maxis 5G Home WiFi if your area has good 4G/5G signal — Home WiFi pricing and rebates are separate from fibre, so confirm those directly.
Usually yes. Existing Maxis Postpaid customers qualify for the converge bundle pricing the moment they add Home Fibre to the same account — that's where the RM30–RM90/month price advantage over Unifi appears, plus the pick-one free reward.

With a Maxis postpaid line, Maxis Home Fibre starts at RM99 for 300Mbps, RM139 for 500Mbps, and RM159 for 1Gbps — generally more competitive than Unifi at similar speed tiers. Without a Maxis postpaid line, pricing is RM89/300/89, wait — pricing is RM89 (100Mbps), RM129 (300Mbps), RM149 (500Mbps), and RM249 (1Gbps). Whether it beats Unifi depends on your current Unifi plan and speed, but Maxis's postpaid-bundled rates are hard to match.
Yes — the lowest prices (RM99/139/159) and the RM1/month device rewards are only available when bundled with a Maxis postpaid plan. Without postpaid, you still get fibre at RM89–RM249 depending on speed, plus a FREE 3 months promo at roadshows, but no RM1 device offer. If you're not on Maxis postpaid, weigh whether switching is worth the extra savings.
Yes, Maxis 5G Home WiFi needs no fibre port at all, priced at RM69, RM79, or RM109 for uncapped data. It comes with a free router and free TNG credit up to RM200, making it a fast alternative while you wait for fibre installation or if fibre isn't available at your address. This promo runs until 30 September 2026, so check eligibility soon via WhatsApp coverage check.
On 500Mbps or 1Gbps postpaid-bundled plans, you can pick either FREE 3 months of fibre or a device for 36 months (Samsung 55" TV at RM10/month or Galaxy Tab S10 Lite at RM1/month on 500Mbps; Samsung 65" TV at RM10/month or iPad 11" at RM1/month on 1Gbps, while stocks last) — not both. FREE 3 months suits those wanting immediate savings, while the device deal suits those wanting a long-term bundled gadget. Compare your household's needs before locking in, since there's no stacking of both rewards.
