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.

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.
