Maxis vs DiGi

I am going to compare the wireless 3g broadband speed services by the 2 providers Maxis and DiGi. I have used both the services.

Maxis's Plans are as follows:
1.5 GB - RM 48
3 GB - RM 68
6 GB - RM 98
12 GB - RM 178

DiGi's Plans are as follows:
3 GB - RM 68
10 GB - RM 108
16 GB - RM 158

From this it is clearly shown that DiGi is more affordable but there is a catch to it on Maxis's service you will get a speed of 3.6 Mbps and on DiGi's you will get 700 Kbps so on Maxis's you will be able to achieve download speed of higher than 500 Kbps but on DiGi you will only get slightly higher than 100 kbps so that is the reason why you get DiGi's service cheaper.


Now let's talk about their contracts, modems, etc.

DiGi
1.You pay RM 50 or RM 100 if you are a foreigner upfront and this amount is not refundable.
2.You will get RM 20 discount for 4 months if you subscribe to either 10 or 16 GB Plans
3.The modem costs RM 80 once you buy it, it is yours.

Maxis


So if you care about very high speed then get Maxis, but if you want more GB's then get DiGi and it's speed is not bad at all.
