Anyone using this ?
I am wondering whether its applicable for PCs.

I am hoping for some feedback from Maxis 3G Connect service users regarding the speed offered.

I think some forumers have tried and posted in other thread. Maxis offered unlimited data package at 120 bucks/month, yes you can use that for PCs provided you have a 3G phone and set it as modem, OR you could get the Maxis 3G connect card.. check out at www.maxis.com.my

speed is around 384kbps. have u considered the cheaper alternative such as DIGI EDGE? (cheaper phones, cheaper rates, no restriction on downloads.. i heard maxis post restrictions about 10 gig/month - can someone confirm this?)

I am not sure about that , but I know they block p2p and they compress images (HTTP) , so that it downlaods faster. There is no way to stop it , their server does that for you (unless you know how to toggle settings)

can still u have to buy the 3G pcmcia card and be sure that your pc got pcmcia slot lo.unlimited access for only rm120.and there is no limited usage for it but definately u have to get a register line from maxis 1 lo.

DIGI's EDGE is still RM99/month flat rate unlimited. If they compress images I don't notice it.

You mean to say DIGI's EDGE blocks P2P?

DiGi EDGE does not block p2p nor compress any images . Its maxis , they block p2p and compress image (They have a proxy server , so if someone goes thru Yahoo , the proxy stores everything there and then sends the same copy to everyone else (assuming the site is not updated or changed) , so that it loads faster)

Thanks for the clarification prasys.

Anyone out there currently using DiGi EDGE?

My friend who is using told me its RM50 per month only. will double confirm on this.

i prefer DIGI EDGE. Coverage area bigger.... 3G converage is limited...

the 50 per month is for the 1st 6 months for new subscribers who signed up for digi EDGE .. but i am not sure if the promotion still valid now. i subscribed in December 2005 while the promotion is still on. so i got the 6 months 50% off.

so far so good... quite reliable.

r u sure maxis block p2p? i hv used maxis 3g to download p2p since 5months ago. my speed can reach about 40KBps. usually around 20-30KBps.

Hi, I am using this services for the last 4 month, its fantastic. M services is faster than D company. Although M always promote 3G but their EDGE coverage areas is very wide as well.

I can use it in the house, office, on the road, highway etc. No need to look for a hotspot.

In order to use it on PC, get a PCMCIA adaptor PCI card from Low Yat level 2.

I can download almost everything except movies and heavy files. Speed ranging from 100 - 200 kbps.

RM50 package just valid until 31st Dec 2005. Now come back to RM99 per month.
