Maxis Home WiFi 138/158 plan details

Maxis Home WiFi 138/158 is a FWA (fixed wireless access) postpaid plan, which uses Maxis 4G/5G towers to provide internet access.

Note: I do personally still recommend you guys to subscribe to fixed fibre broadband when possible, 4G/5G & satellite (like Starlink) can get congested when too many user connected unlike fixed fibre broadband (limited user per distribution port). What I meant by “possible” is: service availability/financial situation/can finish contract period.

Pricing

  • Home WiFi 138 (SIM only): RM138/month + tax
  • Home WiFi 158 (SIM + modem): RM158/month + tax

Advance payment of 1 month (Home WiFi 138) or 3 months (Home WiFi 158) of subscription is required. Foreigners (non-Malaysians) are required to pay RM300 deposit on top of advance payment.

Contract

  • Home WiFi 138: none
  • Home WiFi 158: 2 years/24 months

Speed/quota/FUP

  • Home WiFi 138: uncapped 4G speeds (no 5G access)
  • Home WiFi 158: uncapped 4G/5G speeds

Quota is unlimited but Maxis can (at its discretion) cap streaming speeds to SD speeds & regular browsing speeds after 300GB (Home WiFi 138 only) or 500GB (Home WiFi 158 only) is used in a bill cycle.

Included modem

Home WiFi 138: (optional) unspecified 4G only modem for additional RM1/month (comes with 12 months/1 year contract)

Home WiFi 158: Most likely ZTE MC801A branded as “Maxis 5G router” based on picture on Maxis website. You can view its LTE/5G capabilities here on cacombos. You are required to take the modem even if you didn’t want it.

Additional notes

  • Your plan is not tied to towers around your registered address, so you can use this plan anywhere in Malaysia as long as you’re within Maxis 4G/5G coverage.
  • Included SIM card on both plans can be used with any capable modem. Note that the modem needs to support LTE B28 + 5G n78 to access 5G (Home WiFi 158 only).
