Maxis WiFi – I hope that everyone knows what a “WiFi” is in the 1st place . So to begin with, I would like to ask a question. Do you think that the Maxis WiFi can be an alternative to your current mobile data plan?

As for me, I think that it is never going to happen. Firstly, Maxis WiFi service coverage is definitely not going to be everywhere. When it comes to WiFi service, the focus will be at big shopping complexes, commercial places etc. Let’s say you are travelling, at a highway. How are you going to access to internet then? Well, that is a point to think of.

Some may come back to me saying that, “I don’t need or hardly use internet anywhere outside these shopping places where Maxis has WiFi coverage”. Alright, that is well and good (for some of you). If you are a prepaid user, I don’t think the amount you pay is worth the WiFi. Well, it is definitely much cheaper than Maxis internet plan but it makes a difference having a internet wherever you go. With push email service, instant messaging and occasional web browsing, this WiFi service is definitely not for me.

Owh, before that, did I showed you the price? Alright, please refer to the image below :

If we look at postpaid subscription, RM3 for a month is definitely worth if you are most of the time within Maxis’s WiFi coverage area. As for prepaid, it can be useful to some and not very useful to the rest. Anyway, that is for you to decide .

I couldn’t share much about this service because everything about this is down at Maxis’s website. The coverage map is down. Even the “details” link next to each plan is down. So at the moment, I will not say much about this service.

One thing for sure, this WiFi service is not very suitable to replace our current mobile data plan (at least for me). What do you say?
