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.

Another speedtest for you



I should say my big boss is the ever so congested Maxis and fellow Maxis agents If Maxis is fine like those telco in SG, even a E367 able to 20Mbps

Thanks for those who purchased their modem from me and support me as always. Will bring in more nice stuff at a nice affordable price.

No network just now, time to vroom vroom no jam anymore

I am still very satisfied with my amazing UM

I guess the technical team forget to load balance so I am able to get amazing speed

I guess later I should scan LTE to see if I found any

E398 TX 20 only yet pawn every modem here

I never try TX 33

FYI, Maxis Broadband block P2P

You tunnel your friend then no problem

Dota fan here

Dota 2 is US server every ISP should can't play

Go Service Noticeboard and search for Gaming VPN then you will

What is the issue?

Let me monitor about this issue too

What modem you use?

Such nice ping shouldn't get such bad UL

Update to the latest firmware and customize it

Might need Sierra sifu lwk to guide you here

Prepaid broadband is having a speed cap of 8640kbps.

Kampung is known for faster speed thanks to less congestion, refer Terengganu and Kelantan case.

What is your signal, diagnose through mdma

Links in WIKI thread

Upgrade latest from Sierra Website then use Aircard Watcher

Telstra one is the worst dashboard.

Aircard watcher is okay in my case but I am with my E398

Bro, your siggy too long liao

It might damage the modem if connect wrongly

It wont work at all

They operating on different frequency and spectrum

it make no difference.
you can even use opendns for the primary and Google DNS for the secondary backup DNS

I got a better solution

Just launch CMD and issue the command below

Unstable connection usually contributed by a bad signal.

Problem could be solved either by using an antenna or try to put your modem near the Window
