Before you rant about your slow speed to Maxis Customer Care, please be reminded that speed is affected by few factors:

1) Your device:
-You can't expect it to have 20Mbps when your modem's capability is just running max up to 7.2Mbps.
-You might be having a faulty modem, try switching your SIM card with other modems

2) Your signal coverage:
-If you are not within DC-HSPA+ coverage, then don't expect to have 20Mbps of speed. Be contented with just probably 5Mbps speed, that's probably what your tower is capable of. I know someone who was already running in joy though he only gets 2Mbps on his Maxis. Yes, he is in Mukah, Sarawak.

3) Congested with other users:
-If you are unlucky and you live in an area where there are a lot of similar users like you, be prepared with network congestion. Everyone is fighting with you. Though you might be living in a non-urbanized area, that doesn't mean your area will have good speed. All telco providers will do survey first before doing bandwidth allocation, if you area has low density of users, they will not allocate more speed to that tower. So can't do much thing about this.

4) Timing:
-Avoid performing download activities during golden hours (7-11 p.m.), this is the period where those working folks are back to home and start jamming the line. Be considerate with others. You could queue your downloads to start only after midnight when they go to bed.

5) QoS:
-Check your QoS first, it could be your area is only capped to 2480/2480.

OK, after checking through the above steps and you are still very sure that something is wrong with your connection and tower. Login to your Twitter account and start tweeting the Maxis CS. Follow them @MaxisListens and they could respond to you quite swiftly. Lastly, be patient and they will fix your issue soon!


Before I forget, I think it is worth mentioning here that Maxis blocks P2P port in order to provide better speed to other users. Let's not forget there are other needy users out there depending on this connection to do their work and etc. So, don't hog the connection with your P2P activities. The port will only be opened at 1.00 a.m. - 7.00 a.m. or 3.00 a.m. - 7.00 a.m., depending on your area. So, plan your download activities wisely.

Of course this can be solved with VPN or SeedBox but I'll not further drill into this part. Check out yourself and don't ask me or us how to bypass it.

Seem like you enjoy your panel very much

A cheaper and easy solution is Mikrotik

Buy 2 MR3420. 1 3G dongle on each of the router

Plug both of the LAN to Mikrotik and setup on Mikrotik.

Another solution is very cheapskate I better not mention here

Since they wanna load balance Celcom and Maxis

Or should be say as fail over multi wan.

Provide redundancy. As 3G load balance same telco only render up congestion

1043ND USB support is bugged one and got some weird issue with WAN disabled

1043ND got a USB port

Any device with USB port as long as can use with OpenWRT and no hardware issue can 3G easily

Usually I make it all in one because I don't have space to place many device

MF680
-Faster than E372
-Will get hot and unstable if not cooled

E372
-Very stable modem
-Slower speed than MF680

The difference is not so big

Just a few mbps

The best single channel modem aka HSPA+ is Huawei E367

The most stablest known 3G modem I ever tested

Morning all

Using my new LTE modem, not so fast than you guys but better than my usual speed

Huawei E398

The only modem ensured to be compatible with Malaysia LTE :hehe

Why so fast CSO

Department Manager first

I thought you mean Chief Sustainability Officer

I usually request for CS name too for easy tracking and complaint to them. They will be aware as well

You using a bad seedbox provider which having bad routing to Maxis

Never ever flash the firmware of ZTE MF680 or you will be in risk losing your DC-HSPA+ ability

200% Go for Mikrotik Router

DD-WRT hotspot ability is totally uncomparable with Mikrotik

With mikrotik you can easily separate the routing to maximize secure with your own computer

Mikrotik even come with a fairly amazing hotspot system

PM cloudcomputer, he would be able to help you with these solution
