- Glad you asked. From a work from home staff and hardcore gaming perspective, DO NOT choose Maxis Fibre. I am using Max Wifi plan now. With additional subscription of EasyMesh to achieve the best coverage and speed. Yet it is still shit.
I switched from Unifi to TIME to Maxis.
Stability: Time > Unifi > Maxis
For the first few months during the subscription. Maxis will send me SMS when there is service interruption. Then at some point it just stopped sending. But still there is service interruption. And most of their centers everywhere just for your to sign the plan. Even their promoters and their center not able to reach their customer service at one time when I rushed to maxis center asking them to call their service hotline to fix my wifi.
Guess what? I reached their so called Maxperts, they said it is Infrastructure issue, and asked me to look for Unifi technician. Back from the center to my home, wifi worked again. LOL no inspection, nothing. Blame everything on Unifi. It is very obvious to me even a slight disconnection issue even though it may recover quickly because I am required to work with VPN. So once the wifi disconnected, my VPN will be down.
From the 4 years I used Time for my online class. There were only 2 interruptions that I notice.
Gaming: Unifi > Time > Maxis
Especially beat’em up fighting game relies heavily on ping. I played Street Fighters, KOF and Guilty Gear. Only Unifi scores this. Guilty Gear may have better netcode rollback making it unnoticeable even when fighting opponents with high ping. But KOF and SF is literally unplayable with Maxis. Time is slightly better if you find a queue with lower ping but to me I think both is unbearable. I quitted those games because of this. The ISP contract once signed there is no going back.
I also play some Taiwan or Japan MMORPG. The ping also terrible. I would say if you play some popular game like Valorant, Dota etc then it would not make much different. But if you play those niche online game. Good luck.
From their technician, to customer service, to internet stability. Maxis Fibre is really the worst.
