Not as fast as yours but I get around 1.1 Mbps on average..sometimes for few hours it'll go up to about 1.6Mbps..its still good enough to download at least 120GB of data/month...when I was capped...it was *Mission Impossible*..lol Now I'm glad I'm capped anymore rclxm9.gif

Can you pls tell what plan do you subscribe for? 120GB/month is a lot.

I have been using MBB for about 20 months now. At first MBB was really good, no cap, just download like hell but back then the speed was so so only where downloading a file of 97mb takes around 80-90 minutes. But then there was improvement where I managed to get the same size downloaded in 15 minutes.

I started to feel the effect of the cap around september last year but that was just once in a while not long. Now it become consistent. Somehow there is a pattern of their capping and I exploit that to escape it. Now it seems that they do what they want, you won't know when "The CAP'' comes.

In average, I'm downloading around 5 - 6 gig per month now.

Thinking of switching to steamyx but heard lots of complaint so a bit cautious. Streamyx offers no trial so won't know the speed.

BTW, my location is at TMN Putera, Cheras (around MPAJ).

Been inactive for quite a while already, burdensome work...

By the way, I guess I've been capped too... and I haven't even been using much this month, been out for the majority of every day... and now I can hardly load a single page.

Eh, mocha, mind sharing your tips and tricks here? I'm sure everybody'll benefit from it.

it's an advertisement trick. irresponsible salesman will try to confuse ppl into using that package by playing the word "unlimited", and many ppl wont be aware as cloudstrife07 pointed out the word is "access".

when they found out about the FUP, they can simply say, "its stated unlimited 'access' ma, they capped yr speed but u can still acess what"

very smart trickster, this Maxis & their marketing team...grrr....i can already foresee tonnes more of ppl jumping into our "screw Maxis" bandwidth.

the correct term for a service with no speed cap or usage quota would probably be "unlimited usage". sigh...keep hoping fellow Malaysians.

true true. this unlimited access comes with a dark side. heh heh. they dont highlight which unlimited did the ad mentioned. they put it generally and confusedly confused those who like to believe in ad without proper research. at first, it kind of tingle my heart because of the word 'unlimited'. but aware of the situation, i know it too good to be true..
