I'm interest on it, do any experience got shock bill c'ze maxis is always has a hidden charge..

Hi, i just went to TTDI Maxis, and had a chat with a guy who worked there about this promotion.

Can the good folks of lowyat confirm/comment on this?

The person said:

1. the promotion last from 18/5 to 18/06
2. only for 10k subscribers.
3. the QUOTA system will be implemented on JUNE. <--- i seriously need confirmation on this. =x
4. There will be a difference between torrenting at peak and non peak hours.

I was wondering why no one else noticed this. Searched this thread and nothing.

I queried Maxis on their forums at https://forum.maxis.com.my/forum_topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3000

Feel free to see their replies on this as well some other common questions like public IP.

Now you know what they will do with YOUR Thomson router, YOUR WiFi bandwidth and their T&C.

If you physically power off your router, and turn off the wall plug switch, it will not magically power on. That much I'm sure 

Wether Maxis will send a technician to complain and force you to plug it in, I cannot answer. Please do join in the forum thread I posted above your post and pose these penetrating questions to them.

However, if you leave it plugged in but turn it of... I don't know if it's possible to force it to wake up. For normal PCs however, I used to work on a computer that could do that if my admin forced it to wake up, back in uni.
As long as it was plugged into the wall and the switch was on (but PC is off). Was pretty creepy to see it suddenly spin up to life.

hey, the rm118 promotional price rite.. let's say i reg for now then in nov they no more promotional price liao.. so my contract still stick to the promotional price or i need to pay the actual price liao?

PM sent.

This is what Maxis FTTH CS told me :

1.  i have fulfilled the min 12 mths contract on my current package, so I'm surely eligible to upgrade to the 10Mbps/$118 package without any penalty..

2.  I get to keep my public IP setup

3.  I need to walk in to Maxis Centre to signup!  (this is crap..can't they just do it online?  Ain't we in the digital age now??)

4.  No quota as of now. 

Well, I don't mean to be nuts, for those who wonders when will the cap be implemented, and what will be the outcome if you hit the cap later etc. etc.... I doubt even TM can tell u and give you the confirmation!  So, just relax and signup if you think M gives u what you want...

At least I'm gonna enjoy the 10Mbps next week or sooner!

Hi,
I don't think there is any installation required at our home, they just need to reconfigure their server to take effect the new change..  Nope, I'm still on my 6Mbps.. With the overwhelming response I think it will take a while to see our line gets upgraded...

yes, form submitted last Thurs.  Let's see how long it takes them to upgrade my line...

Calling Dr Pitchard!!! Pls check your PM.

Can I ask whether the 1 month free subscription and RM50 Jusco voucher is still good?

Hahaha, nice meeting with you too.... :-)
Forms submitted already, just sit back and chill....

Will take a few working days to do the back-end stuff....not so straight forward

Guys, if I get the FTTH, will they terminate my existing copper line? I want to maintain my existing number, I don't care if they give me another number via maxis FTTH

can teach me how to upgrade your ping? mine still having 35ms since installed until now. many thanks

Sorry if this has been asked before but Im a total IT noob.

1) I just download songs from warez. I read that people talking about fixed/share IP. Will that affect anything to do with warez or MF (media) or FS (file)?

2) Why are there so many people complaining about the data cap? When I was in OZ, we only had 20gb yet I only use up to 15gb/month after downloading HD football matches (you know which team hehe) and HD videos.

3) How can Maxis use TM but TM just letting Maxis have the better deal. Wont TM lose out customers because of this?

4) How is the service so far with Maxis? I've been using Streamyx for years. Never had any complains with TM. That's why Im a bit scared to move to Maxis. Unknown territory

Thanks

So hard core.
i usually only download 720P average 4GB.

Say what now?
3 months to wait for them to come and install?
Is this real?
My Streamyx contract will expire in August/September.
Ideally I would like to subscribe to Maxis 10mb now (promotion) but only start paying in August.

But I jsut got off the phone with Maxis CS.
He said 2 weeks.
So either I will have to subscribe to Maxis and continue paying for Streamyx until August/September or just subscribe to whatever plan is attractive when my Streamyx is expiring.

So confusing.

on the cat analogy.

Thanks for your kind feedback.

1) That's good to know! I need to download HD football matches once a week from RS/FS.

2) Even with a 100gb cap, I am more than happy. So far, the most I've ever used is 15gb/month.

3) But isn't TM still controlling things? How come Maxis dare to undercut/steal customers from TM at a lower price?

4) Good that you are an old Streamyx user so you will be able to compare. How is the speed so far?
Are you always in the 8-9.5mb region? Is it always stable?

I haven't had a problem with Streamyx for more than 2 years now.
But my only problem is that during the day, 1-4pm, it tend to get slow and sometimes slower than 1mb.

Wow. Usually I see those HD movies on Warez, it's <5gb.
Didn't even know that such a huge file existed.

Watch Blueray on Lappy or burn it into DVD and watch it on tv?

blacklist?? u mean in future if i want to subsribe TM service,  then i will be in trouble right?? unless i pay that penalty??
