even god also can't answer your question.....it's ur choice...

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

Can can answer..but either will he able to hear it or not it is a "?"!

sigh, i wonder when will this Home broadband arrive in Bandar Country Homes, Rawang

it seems like i'm paying more for a Maxis 2mbps connection than this 10mbps fiber. lol.

I'm an OKU, can I get 50% discount from this RM118 promo package?

If 50% discount, that means I only need to pay RM59/month right?

Could someone clarify about this. I saw OKU get 50% in FAQ

http://www.maxis.com.my/home/faq.asp

yeah, confirmed! provided you got the OKU card issued by welfare department.

It should not have extra charge since no quota for now.
And exceed quota also drop speed only.

Btw, i waived for 3 month. So now still no need to pay yet.
My bill show RM0, hehe.

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 torenting at peak and non peak hours.

ahhh....

Don't think outsider can answer your question unless maxis people.
Users like us only can tell what is happening now.
No quota and torrenting full speed.

Btw, DrPitchard can answer?
Wish to know whether above stated is true or not.

1. For those who stay in condo using Maxis HSBB via VDSL, is the VDSL on interleaved mode or fast mode?

Unifi used to be on interleaved mode which adds up another 20ms to the local ping, but they have recently implemented fast mode which cuts down the ping to <10ms at my place.

2. Is it difficult to request maxis to give us a public IP address instead of private IP?

yeah im using google dns..
but latency is which 1? bytes 32 times 10-29 and ttl 56

LOL..... +1

Added on May 22, 2012, 1:33 pmYeap, busy day of answering PM's but happy to do so... :-)
Almost 100 PM's for today...phew....
Its interesting that I get way more PM's than the comments posted here....

Added on May 22, 2012, 1:34 pmWell, I wouldn't really say disadvantage as per say. For high rise residential, it will be VDSL and it means, no hacking or drilling!! :-) Max speed is theoretically up to 52Mbps only, unlike fibre which can go more than that.

Added on May 22, 2012, 1:36 pmWe will be launching soon!!!! But the details such as packages and contents, that will have to wait for the official news from Maxis... :-)

Patience....

Added on May 22, 2012, 1:44 pmYes, which is the green card.By the way, saw your PM, and of course, replied... :-)

1. Not sure when the RM118 price promotion expires, but the RM200 installation fee is waived until 30/06, according to the Maxis website. Though it is true that promotion began around 18/5.
2. Interesting, if true. A 1 month promotion period to raise 10k subscribers sounds plausible, but not very ambitious. Which suggests that the RM118 price is truly a promotional price, and not a reflection of a true market price reduction of broadband services...unless of course UNIFI responds in kind.
3. If point #2 is true, then #3 seems a distinct possibility. If true market price for 10MB is still RM218, RM118 is a loss-leader pricing strategy, and the only way to minimize losses is to reduce bandwidth costs through quotas and throttling.
4. Peak and non-peak throttling is not unreasonable. I think Malaysians have come to expect a certain amount of throttling to ensure a good online experience for everyone. The only thing we are asking for are reasonable and competitive fees, not-too-extreme throttling, stable connections, prompt and knowledgeable customer services, and minimal /fair or no quota restrictions. I guess all this is still too much to ask.

I was at Menara Maxis for Maxis FTTH fact finding, and I certainly wasn't told all this. The guy was either BSing or he provided a bit more information that he should. If this info is beyond what was in the standard marketing brief, then I doubt I doubt anyone, DrPritchard included, will be able to verify one way or the other.

It is easy actually, and at no extra cost. Just call 123 to request and they will process it within a few working days.

Hmppphh...is it true? We shall wait and see.... :-)

Ohhh....if we sign up this promotion package, by that time when the decoder is available, will it be given to those existing subscriber like me, you & us under this promotion package?

just call maxis cs. they said this 118 just for limited time only. later u need to pay 218. i'm confused.

I guess the customer care consultant that spoke to you really got you confused.

Well, its suppose to be, if sign up now, will enjoy this special price of RM118 for the whole contract period of 24 months @ 10Mbps

Once this limited offer is over and package removed from our offerings (maybe after 30th June 2012?!?! I'm also not sure....), users can only subscribe to the normal package of RM218 for 10Mbps.

what i found on maxis website

How long is the contract? Do I have to pay extra after my contract ends?
This is a 24 month contract offer. Upon completion of 24 months contract, you still pay the same amount of RM118.


means after that still need to pay 118 after contract ended rite? if they will imposed back to 2xx for sure cust/user will terminate and change back to unifi..huhu

LOL. Well, without any concrete evidence, it's all conjecture. But of course, you COULD end all this theorizing if you just let us know...I promise I won't tell anyone else
