i signed up at KLCC maxis centre they gave me e173. any idea how to check the quota on how much i used?

maxis... register here http://www.mylaunchpad.com.my/

dun say serve out the contract as i WILL extend it beyond 1 year as rm18/mth (1GB) after a full 12mths Maxis give you a free 1GB/mth (2GB/mth)is the cheapest around and can be re-rented out for rm28/mth to anyone.........remember its maxis postpaid which can be used with VPN not prepaid ( which cannot)

use it for tablet as mostly tablet can run on free wifi too, so not much bandwidth of the simcard is used......

Do you mean we actually get 1GB+1GB from this MOC package ?

nope only 1GB, but i strongly believe if we stay for over a year, Maxis will reward us with another 1GB next year , it happened to its customers before, wat more next year is the year of LTE and Broadband Bandwidth will be "loosen" up for takes...........

Oooohh you are predicting what freebie given by Maxis after 12-months...

if i changed my modem to a higher download capability modem.. will the speed increase be really significant? current one is 7.2mbps (huawei e173)

It depends, what is your current speed with Huawei E173?

Depends on your QoS
If your QoS 8640 even have E398 also won't have any significan results

Depend which telco and subscription too.. if use telco which provide 3.6Mbps... no point to get 21Mbps or 42Mbps modem....

don't really know because i only put it in my portable router to use for iPhone data...

qos is?

am using maxis 18gb/month for the moc promo.

you can run speedtest on your phone.

QOS = quality of service

18GB/month or 1GB@RM18/month?

1gb @ rm 18/month

ping 229 ms
download 1.38 mbps
upload 1.75 mbps

so changing modem will up ?

QoS is the amout of network threshold that Maxis give you

QoS depends on
Sim card
Data plans
Base station capability

Honestly... no need to change your modem.. better use what you have...

If you have better modem which can give you better speed... mean you will use up the quota really fast..

Yesterday, I have use up 2Gb in 1 day.

Argh!! Why I not perasan this MOC package.
So sad right now, my last hope to go to maxis skmm package.
Hope it still support vpn.

I use up 20gb in 4 days.

SKMM only works on certain type of VPN now which speed aren't that wise

Borrow your simcard to me... I want to use 100GB.

Sometimes QoS is just a guide of what speed you would get but not necessary tied you to the maximum or minimum

I have a simcard that only have QoS of 2048/2048 ( some regulars would knoe which simcard i am referring to, esp KKW )

During "normal operating hours" on a Icon505M/E372, i get mostly speed of abt 2Mbps ( rated QoS )

But during "graveyard shift hours" i get 5Mbps on a Icon505M

How do you conclude that QoS will tied you to a certain speed range?

However when i use my simcard of QoS 16000/8640 on a E372 during "graveyard shift hours" i only max out at 9Mbps and not 16Mbps?
