Port out to digi

ave666 — Fri, 21 May 2021 17:26:29 +0800

Guys, I want to port out from maxis and switch to digi instead. My area got 4g+ coverage since 2014 I believe and it's good experience with the speed. But from 2019 the speed is really bad. From >100mbps to 1-3mps lately. Have been reported 2-3 times already and it's better but got the same issue after 3 days of reporting. I surf to the digi website and subscribe for new plan along with 2 family numbers. I click with switch from telco option. Does it the right way for porting out from maxis or do I need to wak in to their cs?

I noticed my ssd xpg sx8200pro life at 96% on drive C after 6 months of use. Is this expected? My other ssd mx500 1tb which is games drive still got 100% health left. I played games almost every day (gta V) and do a lots of downloading to this mx500 ssd. Yeah I know that windows do a background read and writing data on drive C but I didn't expect the life expectancy so bad on nvme. My ssd kingston hyperx 120gb on other pc still has 94% life after 6 years and still strong. Anyone has xpg ssd do have this issue?
