After read thru all comments, I decided to give Maxis iPad prepaid plan a try. Will activate it later. The starter sim pack cost RM70 (with 3.5GB data and 30 days validity period). I thought it comes with micro SIM but NOT. Need to ask the Maxis folk to cut it for me. To those interested, pls look for Maxis Centre. I asked few MEPs, either they don't know about the plan or they don't have stock.

Before this, I have considered both Maxis and Digi prepaid plan but Digi coverage at my area is not good. Also the DL/UL speed is slower than Maxis plan.

Shall see if Maxis live up to what they claimed.

Okly, what is the DL/UL speed you can get with Hotlink prepaid?

Using Speedtest.net to test the DL/UL speed for Maxis iPad prepaid plan today.

DL = 1.7 to 2.1 Mbps
UL = 0.18 to 0.22 Mbps
Signal Strength = 3 - 4 Bars

I hope other Maxis/Digi/Celcom subscriber can share DL/UL speed on your iPad. This will be a great info for other potential subscriber.

If got other better than Maxis prepaid plan, I will jump ship. No contract

4 Mbps

strange, why upload = 0?

any Digi/Celcom users to share your UL/DL speed?

if Maxis 7.2 Mbps plan can get only 2Mbps (on average). How about those Digi prepaid plan with 384kbps?

actually 2Mbps is good enough for my normal usage (youtube, internet radio, Email and internet surfing)

Unless you are heavy user, otherwise Maxis prepaid is better plan. Top up when you need it.

Postpaid and Prepaid also about the same. RM70/month vs RM70/30 days based on 3.5GB quota.

UL >4.5Mbps

what is the average DL/UL speed you get from UMobile?
