It is capped. Or else, they won't have 1.5Gb plan, 3.0Gb plan, 6.0 Gb plan or 12 Gb plan.
In the Maxis terminology, their standard of "capped" means cut off the connection when it reach the quota.
In all the other ISP (internet service provider - Celcom, P1, Digi, TM, U-Mobile, Unifi, and etc) standard. Capped means slow down after it exceed the data volume.
So, when your maxis internet usage exceeded the volume (say 3.0 Gb download - 2 movies) . It would be "capped".
I am a unhappy Maxis broadband user and it is really sucks after it is "capped". Can't even open a Gmail interface after it is "capped", have to switch to HTML mode. Really sucks, worst than dial up internet connection.

Actually, it would not block now. Just started like March or April 2010. I think the early version of Maxis broadband would block. (eventhough all other ISPs do not practice that in the past... Only Maxis.)
But even though that they do not block now. The throttled/capped speed is barely usable. Only thing you can do after capped is messenger. Check mail also difficult. Standard Gmail also cannot load, have to switch HTML mode of Gmail. (Pathetic)
Other disadvantages of wireless broadband (with HSPDA) is u can't play online game with it even without capped (upload too slow, IP keeps changing because of wireless volatile nature), you can't download TVB movies (they do impose control on web sites and download from where. You would notice incredibly slow or hang but other ISP do not have such problem) , you can't do VNC/remote desktop (Upload speed too slow, not usable for remote surveillance, like CCTV video upload to web site is not possible) .
So, if you just want to surf net or download files. Yes. more than that, think again...

128 kbps? Sure or not, i think it is only 64kpbs. Load gmail also cannot some more it would become very unstable, it could be with 0kbps a moment for few minutes and resume back and on and off. Some kind of random interference logic they impose to get you to upgrade your plan.. (pathetic)
Added on October 3, 2010, 5:27 pmOne more thing. Now, they have this RM38 for 3GB. (for 6 months and then RM48 for 3Gb)
I am RM48 for 1.5GB plan. Can't upgrade for same price. The term and condition is only for "New" subscriber.
This is the way Maxis treat the existing customers. Damn ass....
