And just like that Maxis add up to 25GB data to MaxisONE users free of charge. Is this a gimmick?

Well, that’s depend where you are — Sarawakian in general, except those in the town area, you are likely not going enjoy this perks.

The extra data can only be used on Saturdays 12.01am to Sunday 11.59pm. This gives Maxis the ability to use a bigger font on the marketing message like you see in the photo — Big 50GB, 40GB, 30GB and 20GB. If you are like me, who can’t read and write well, you will think Maxis is giving an extra data for 24 hours/ 7 days a week. Heck you might think they are the best internet provider (Maybe they are the best, who knows — I don’t know, I have no problem with their internet service so far, I guess it’s ok, no? — Ok)

By the way, where are we during the weekend? I would assume 60% of us probably relaxing and streaming movie on our tiny screen — on a wifi!? Maybe only 5% of you are not. Not sure what happen to the rest of the 35%.

The only caveat that is not so cool for Sarawakian here is, you must on a 4G network.

Maybe the competition is really awful and Maxis have no choice but to respond to the need of the user who challenge to switch to other Telco. I guess by now everyone already knows that Webe is offering a very awesome plan — like unlimited data.

I am probably not the target customer for this. Sure, it’s nice to have but I don’t think I will be using the data during the weekend that much. Unless, Streamyx is down, then this extra data will come in handy.

This upgrade does not improve my life significantly. You might be benefited from this upgrade though.
