QUOTE(krel89 @ Feb 7 2013, 06:45 AM) both has quota right.. so for me, nothing will change if they implemented it. beside it is in their contract like denzel88 said 5.3 Excessive Usage 5.3.1 Each customer’s total usage per month shall NOT exceed the stipulated amount of data volume transmitted (total upload and download usage). This is to ensure that no individual hogs the bandwidth at all times. 5.3.2 Maxis reserves the right to reject the said application or charge for any additional data volume transmitted from what is already allocated. i think if u use torrent to the max until 8pm until 2am (which is 100GB (the monthly qouta) for my case), they will capped u.. that is what i understand in that contract.. this is not quota. This is throttling of p2p during peak hours (8pm - 2am). It does not reset on a new billing cycle. Always throttled during the said time period unconditionally.

QUOTE(jacky1678 @ Feb 7 2013, 12:17 PM) no proper announcement and inform , any T & C stated ? if does not, can we just make report on Maxis dishonest and cheating ? I'm disappointed as well, but it is in the contract for Maxis Home and also UniFi. They reserve the right to implement FUP and quota too. This day was bound to come, just a matter who's going to start it first. Maxis has now started FUP with P2P traffic. Who knows, other might follow soon too.

QUOTE(jacky1678 @ Feb 7 2013, 02:32 PM) Fair Usage Policy sound like cheating. we paid for what we want for. does it mean only P2P traffic affected ? other streaming like ppstream not affected ? well, it is in the contract, hard to contest since we signed it. Not sure if ppsteam is affected, I don't use it but it's P2P in a way. Maybe other users with ppstream can share their experience recently?

QUOTE(sct @ Feb 7 2013, 08:12 PM) Maxis said 100gb quota, reach it then throttle is FUP. Daily fix throttle regardless quota is UUP --> Unfair UP Those new 148 subscribers don 1 listen to our advise kena the most...lol that's the problem, they use a standard Maxis FUP for all their broadband internet service (mobile or fixed) to supplement the contract. Refer to this link http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/broadband/Fair_Usage.pdfSee 5.2 ....sneaky as always

QUOTE(frozzbyte @ Feb 26 2013, 06:52 PM) VOIP is secondary to me. If can use then it's a plus point. Right now I'm looking at Asus RT-N66U as the replacement. I've been using Maxis not even a month the Thomson router already giving headache twice. I just reboot the router and all settings was gone. It's a good thing that I've saved the user.ini but need to reset the router so it can detect even the ethernet connection. Really bengang la with this Thomson.  All these local ISPs tend to use cheap routers to supply to their customer. I see Thomson have higher range products which are used by likes of PCCW etc. I've checked with engineers of TM and Maxis, their procurement budgets looks at routers in the range of RM100++. What do you expect to get at this price? Crappy stuff of course.. At the end of the day, users need to fork a couple hundred RMs to get better user experience. I don't blame the vendors, I blame the ISPs to even cut cost for an important device even though they are charging premium price for Internet speeds which are not comparable to even our neighboring countries.

QUOTE(qwerty223 @ Feb 27 2013, 10:45 AM) 148 is in ringgit dude, how much premium are we talking about when fiber equipment are brought in paying USD? I acknowledge USD is the standard, so every ISP (local or neighboring country) is dealing in USD, then why the difference is service and equipment quality and package pricing between our local ISPs and neighboring country ISPs? Let's take Starhub for example, consider them 2nd position ISP in SG. Fibre broadband 100Mbps is about 50SGD. That is still cheaper compared to Maxis 10Mbps even after conversion to RM. If they too buy fibre equipments in USD, why they are able to provide better packages, services and equipment at cheaper price? This post has been edited by gogetter83: Feb 27 2013, 11:29 AM

QUOTE(syk @ Feb 27 2013, 04:39 PM) Yes, that's also my concern for the 1 year warranty of thompson router. And according to the website, the router costs rm4-500!! I will definately change it for a better one. yeah, that's what maxis price is to the customer. I've had that conversation with TM product management guys and had the pleasure to know an executive from HOME in Maxis. Their purchase price for RG is USD 40-50. Yet the advertised price to customer by Maxis is Rm400-500.

QUOTE(peri peri @ Feb 27 2013, 01:28 PM) if im not mistaken, the modem provided by TM is life time warranty and the thompsom router by maxis is 1 year warranty. By this May i will change it to a high end one. TM modem belongs to ISP (which I understand belongs to TM regardless UniFi or Maxis Home), they'll take it back upon termination, so I guess it goes without saying lifetime warranty. RG and Dect phone belongs to customer, so TM or Maxis applies warranty to it which is the standard 1 year (TM does the same for their Dlink, or L7). No surprise there, from the days of Streamyx, the same warranty clause applied on the supplied aztech, innacomm, riger modems. This post has been edited by gogetter83: Feb 27 2013, 06:22 PM

QUOTE(qwerty223 @ Feb 27 2013, 04:31 PM) Did you compare their density and penetration? So US 40mbps also charge $65.99, should they also complaint? Maxis of course is not perfect, but saying RM148 is a premium just make no sense. The word 'premium' is subjective I guess. What is premium to me might not be premium to others (such as your good self). Therefore, to justify paying RM148, I expect reliable service in return (better equipments, better customer service, better reliability that together would provide a positive user experience). That makes perfect sense to me. This post has been edited by gogetter83: Feb 27 2013, 06:30 PM
