5 minutes? It's been 5 hours since I activated and unable to use...restarted numerous times, flushed DNS cache, cleared browser cache...

BTW I always use strictly AFTER I receive the confirmation SMS...

no, no no no no.... just unplug the silly maxis, oops.. it shold be "mylaunchpad wireless internet sevice", chose a real broadband provider and you are done.

I use to have maxis broadband, initially, the god forsaken silly portal only comes up when I first log in, slowly it will choose what site I can or cannot see, countless anguish night I try to convince the portal to let me see (you see, when the silly portal don't want you to see a certain website, it will show up instead of the website that you are trying to surf), sometimes with success and sometime not

slowly, each and every time a open my browser, the silly portal will show up first

and one day I thought enough is enough, I unplug the maxis, throw the usb stick into the dust bin, uninstall the maxis broadband program, reset my browser plug in another broadband provider, surprise, surprise, the god d*mn silly maxis portal still shows up, I coudn't believe my eyes, I make a second attempts to delete all temp, prefetched, cache and hard reset my browser, restart windows and the d*mn silly portal still shows up.

ok, when did I authorise maxis to modify my computer Host file and mess it up in such a manner?

at the end I have to reformat my hard drive just to get rid of the portal

I believe many of you are sick and tired of the portal but still stay and endure the portal, come on girls and guys, time to free yourself.

i am using chrome, clearing the cache from chrome, and also using ccleaner, very effective can clear the "portal".. dont have the problems after that,... it u dont throughly clear it, it will always show and take over certain bookmark in your browser,..

I'm struggling with this right now. Even when connecting with DiGi. It even shows "Sorry, you need to configure your Maxis APN". Duhhh....deleted history, cleared cache, flushed DNS, all not working. It's that stupid IBm WEbshphere portal Maxis is using...

Not sure how does this happen, I was suppose to be capped but still experiencing a pretty good speed,weekend bug? Don't mind the signal, its pretty cloudy atm.




Its not eating my credit at all, anybody else got the same thing?

Finally they refunded my RM8.

Problem is for days now when I try to subscribe to Prepaid Broadband, I am unable to do so. Keep getting this error "Service is currently not available. Please try again later." ANyone else facing this?

yeah, seem always to get that error.

anyone know is there a speed limit/ capped speed for maxis mobile internet 500mb RM58 package. i'am currently planning to use smartphone to surf the web. Any idea bout the speed.

Liquid_Snake02 here. I am currently using Maxis Broadband 3GB package, Huawei E1762 modem. Has anyone here faced this kind of problem before?

The problem is as follows: Bad JPEG image quality when using the internet.

The situation: Yesterday, I surfed the net and found that the images are bad in quality. So, I decided to open an image in Wikipedia about JPEG (picture below) and the file size shown is 81 kB and saved it on my desktop.



When I checked the image, its size was different (picture below, look at the top left of image) and it says 20.1 kB.



Can anyone here explain this problem? Thank you.

anyone having problems with maxis?
nowadays feel slow..
worse is i can't access youtube..
using maxis in ipad btw..

nope, just sometimes quite slow. normally can watch youtube without buffering.
might depend on your location, my location: Pekan, Pahang.

love to use Maxis prepaid 2hours RM3 package..
coz i still can online now even my 2hours pass has expired.. hehe..

are you sure? can online until how long after expired?

This is due to their caching mechanic. Maxis has a caching server that stores the contents that you are accessing to, compress these contents before delivering them to the end user. The bad quality image is due to the compression.

Maxis is doing this to save on the bandwidth. I think DiGi and Celcom do not do this today.

This is Liquid_Snake02. Thank you for the information, adslgourou.

i wanna ask.. can i terminate my maxis b4 the contract period ends?

rm38 250MB plan still around ?
Monthly Pass 250MB (Calendar
Month)
250MB RM38 N/A Yes
not for new suscriber means ? new maxis user ?

I have a house phone line and a Streamyx 512K internet line, bought the internet package when the time a house phone was needed to connect to the internet. I'm not at home all the time so I'm planning to terminate both accounts and buy a wireless broadband package. Did some quick research and seems like Maxis prepaid broadband is the way to go. You only top-up when you want to use, just like a Hotlink prepaid phone.

What I'm confused is if I'm out of data and I want to top up, for example 7 days validity for 2GB of data at RM25. If I only did use for 3 days or less than 2GB, will the balance of data be forwarded to the next usage when it expires?

No.

I notice that my notebook has a SIM slot, can I just buy the SIM pack, configure the settings like the one on Hotlink Broadband page and ready to go?
