huuu just back from sahur~



it seems that at my place.. the prepaid bb is capped at 2mbps but as per advertise its suppose to be capped at 3.6mbps...

either way... im satisfied

how to subsribe the hourly broadband?
i'm using hotlink prepaid
so if i exceed the limit quota before the subcription expire...they will start charging me extra? or they will just terminate my service once i reach the limit?

Terminate. I think you can find hourly under "Mobile Internet" on the USSD menu.

i'm currently subsribed to daily broadband using my hotlink sim
why the connection keep getting disconnected?
anyone havign the smae problem as me?

it's location based.
I got frequent disconnection to at KL.
But back at my hometown, I'm connected for 24 hours.

Hi I'm using HTC Touch 3g as modem to use the prepaid BB. But then I just cant connect after subscribing. I've change the APN and followed the instructions by Maxis like passwords and everything. Can anybody using phones as modem guide me?. Thx lotx.

bought the 1hr to test,but after buying it,theres a thank you msg & i try to check my status,it said i havent buy any package yet..

but no sms confirmation yet.....

stupid maxis
before that they activate my subsription immeadiately
but until now they still haven't activate my weekly subscription
slow service.....i thought of using prepaid broadband
now it's better to stick with postpaid one

i'd suggest use prepaid first to test the line condition, performance, etc.

if u're satisfied, then subscribe the postpaid plan. at least u won't regret later

Using Maxis postpaid here and interested to give this a try. I am wondering, if i had applied it through the *100# menu, is it automatically activated? Or i should wait for any confirmation message?

And if say i subscribed to the 1 hour package and i am still connected at that point, will it be disconnected automatically, or they start charging me via the pay per use?

Edited : Alright, got the confirmation message after a few hours of subscribing. and thats bad. Probably not using it anymore.

Don't use postpaid for their prepaid broadband. If you read their FAQ, postpaid customers will NOT be disconnected once their subscription expires, but will be charged instead at 10sen/10kb (peak) or 5 sen /10kb (off-peak) rate.

I also noticed the mobile broadband for postpaid customers is put under "value added service" but I called up maxis they say it will be charged as part of the monthly credit. Can anyone clarify?

I wanted to ask , let say subscribe fro 1 hour RM2 .How does it count ?
Once I connect , I consider already RM 2 ? let say connection very poor it auto disconnect how does it count ?

Let say today raining but I wanted to access the internet

8:00PM connect , (due to raining having a poor speed , it got disconnect)
8:15PM (auto disconnect)
- Usage 15 min , Wait until 9:30PM rain stop
9:30PM connect back , use for 30 min
- Usage 45min left 15 min

Tomorrow at night 8:30 connect to the internet.

8:30PM connect
8:45PM disconnect

Usage = 1 hour

So will it charge RM 2 for the 1 hour usage ?

The 1 hour will start once you subscribe to 1 hour package let say u subscribe at 5.15pm the session is until 6.15pm only.

it will include inside your unbilled amount (like normal call/sms charges) it wont be charge as VAS like extraten or extrasms... you can see that let say today u take 1hour (RM2) for sure next morning you can notice RM2 is added in you unbilled amount

not like that.... it will count FROM THE MOMENT the SMS says your transaction is SUCCESSFUL... in that sms it will display the one hour period STARTING time and END TIME and also usage

upon 90% usage of your data quota or 10minits before your 1hour expires (whichever comes 1st)... 1SMS reminder will come to notify you

i have tested ,during 3am until 8 am the speed just like turn on a turbo engine.(forgot to run speedtest)get stuck when raining n dc alot,sofar so good ,can play online game.
my vote 6/10.

So that means once the sms activated , no matter if I browse 10 min or 5 min it will continue counting for 1 hour .?

Then , it's not so useful if I wanted to check mail for 10 min.Shouldn't it be counting base on hourly ?

yes~ 1hour no matter you use it or not
if prepaid is based on usage hours... waa all CC bungkus la like this

I have read it somewhere that Maxis blocks torrenting (Bit Torrent). Can anyone confirm this ?
I am planning to buy the Maxis 7 day package because of its speed, but if torrenting is not allowed, then any sim card will be the samef or me.
