I have a rather unique question about the package. Will it come with less clutters than Unifi? You know... BTU lah... Residential Gateway lah... Set-Top Box lah... I saw at my sister's house, very scarylah. with the cables twingling all around the TV. I hate the clutters so much and I don't need the IPTV at all. It's one of the reasons I'm sticking with Streamyx.
Since Maxis package doesn't have IPTV, so what exactly does it come with? WiFI modem, DECT phone, and...?
Oh and 1 more question: is 10MB download and upload or download only?

QUOTE(DrPitchard @ May 26 2012, 12:55 AM) Maxis WILL have IPTV....REALLY soon..... So that means it will have the same clutters as Unifi la? Once they have IPTV, will the monthly charge be the same? Also is it possible if I don't want to set up the IPTV and just leave the stuffs in the box? |

Still thinking... whether to get or not. I'm already comfortable with TM and their customer service. With Maxis I'm a bit nervous with their billshock reputation and all. Also same boss with the notorious Astro. But this package seems too attractive for a Streamyx 1Mb user like me. Many things to consider... the call plans, etc etc...  But tell me, the equipments that come with Maxis 118 package are only the dect phone and wireless modem router (all-in-one), correct? Or is it modem and wireless router separate? I ask this because I don't like having too many equipments and cables 'menyemak' in my house. |

QUOTE(paklee @ Jun 1 2012, 06:21 AM) im a new maxis home fibre user so i get DECT (Cordless) Phone (Aztech E 310) and White color residential gateway (TG 784) plus a modem from UNIFI. From my understanding maxis bought a bandwidth from TM,so all the infra still provided by TM. So that means 3 equipments la? phone, RG, and modem... not like what appeared on Maxis website... phone and wireless modem router (all-in-one). Can anyone confirm this? DrPitchard? QUOTE(ronnie @ Jun 1 2012, 07:41 AM) If this is the case, our speed depends on TM's network backbone .... not really good in terms of resolving issues later on. a blame game may happen between TM & Maxis, with customer stuck in between.   You're right la. If want to complain about a problem and it's TM's fault then will take long to solve the issue  This post has been edited by Swordylove: Jun 1 2012, 10:56 AM |

QUOTE(ronnie @ Jun 1 2012, 11:09 AM) The 2 devices mention by Maxis is provided by Maxis... The BTU device is provided by TM... thus not shown (not relevant from Maxis POV) QUOTE(amxpayne67 @ Jun 1 2012, 11:12 AM) True that, maxis only provide 2 devices. Anyway Maxis did explain to me to standby 3 power socket for the devices, means there is another device by TM. Oh okay thanks for the explanation. I thought all-in-one because Maxis website says 'Residential WiFi modem' Sorry for being noob, but I wonder if there's no all-in-one device for fibre optic broadband. I hate all these extra cables and plugs! |

QUOTE(petlu28 @ Jun 3 2012, 10:57 AM) That means after finish install the Maxis Home we need go TM point or cancel before installation done? I'd advise you to terminate your TM line only after Maxis Fibre has been successfully installed and you don't experience any problem after a few days. |

QUOTE(xsaintzx @ Jun 3 2012, 10:44 PM) High speed doesn't mean you will get a good ping. For online games user, hopefully you can provide us a feedback on it. Having 10mbps doesn't mean your game will run smoother if it has ridiculously high ping. Yeap I see many speedtest signatures here have high download/upload speed but terrible ping. Many are above 100ms! For gaming, only <15ms is good, I believe. |

QUOTE(kurogane @ Jun 5 2012, 07:09 AM) That looks around 100ms average ping to me. Also, I'd very much appreciate it if you could share a some pics of the stuffs that they installed in your house in my thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2374162This post has been edited by Swordylove: Jun 5 2012, 11:03 AM |

QUOTE(soul2soul @ Jun 5 2012, 11:06 AM) I believe that is an expected latency. The further the server , the higher the ping. Under 300ms ping to US server is considered ideal if you attempt to play games hosted in USA (such as Diablo 3). My friend in singapore also get about 200ms-250ms ping to USA battlenet server. I think this is due to physical limit of light.. Ohh... so it's okayla I guess then.  This post has been edited by Swordylove: Jun 5 2012, 11:19 AM |

QUOTE(DrPitchard @ Jun 7 2012, 01:27 AM) Better just apply first if you are interested, strongly doubt it that it will be extended....Well, for a start, it is not mentioned when it will end also....NOT 30th JUNE!!! There is no official date on this by Maxis...FYI Hmm funny... I'm sure I saw 30th June on Maxis website, but now it's gone. I guess they deleted it for some reason.  |

Guys... I still don't get all these about private and public IP. what are the advantages/disadvantages of each? QUOTE(urameshi81 @ Jun 12 2012, 10:02 PM) I registered online for maxis home fibre at the end of last week received maxis call on the following monday. One day after, I submitted all the forms and documents back to them Within the same day, they have called and arranged for installation (next weekend).... So far, not bad at all....I'm quite impressed with the service & speed provided by them Their customer service has also been very helpful explaining/addressing all my questions...  Amboi.... so fast. Weekend some more. Probably you're the only one in the area applying. |

Submitted form to DrPitchard last Tuesday. Still not getting any call. Eventhough DrPitchard say might take a little over a week, but reading all your stories about lost applications makes me nervous! QUOTE(CheahThung @ Jun 18 2012, 09:47 PM) My house is currently using unifi. I went to apply for maxis fiber today. And they could not find my address under coverage. I received a call from Maxis just now saying my address is not under coverage so have to cancel my application  ( If not under coverage how come I'm using Unifi? Just tell them you are using Unifi at the moment. Confirmed should be within coverage. The Maxis staff probably just check using their (or Unifi's) website only.

Ahhh finally got call from Maxis. Installation in 2+ weeks. Okayla tu...
But the preset number they give me is really ugly la. So if I want to change it, have to go to Maxis Centre right? Do I need to wait for installation done or can change before installation?

If change now, they will have to give you a new installation slot, which means, it will be waaaayyyyyyyyyyyy bbbbbbaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.......... Okay noted. Thank you guys!  |

QUOTE(toh2020 @ Jun 21 2012, 11:56 AM) i tried successfully on unifi. run 24hrs more on audio steaming via radio internet. all goes well with no overheating like the dir-615. the asus router is just warm only. signal strength around the house no worries. i hopefully gain insight on maxis fiber cause service still new. if that works, everyone can liberate themselves from dreaded thompson router. not forgetting the deck phone goes to btu. like how i liberate myself from tm stock router   Oh I pray you'll succeed with Maxis Fibre too! Please please please!  This post has been edited by Swordylove: Jun 21 2012, 12:53 PM |

Geez guys... I hope all these problems you guys are yelling about will be gone by the time I get mine installed. If I haven't already registered, I would've postponed/cancelled after reading all these.
