What is the signal difference when using MF680 and E398? Anyone compared before?

Anyone here know what Maxis is referring in their ad in Thestar.com.my?

It is a count down to midnight, and quoted

"This New Year, mobile internet as you know it, will never be the same again.

STARTS MIDNIGHT"

LTE?

How to know if the IP is supported by LTE?

Totally agreed... I have terminated my streamyx 1mbps and fully rely on Maxis now

Hopefully with LTE coming the ping will be more stable and faster so that online gaming is smooth.
Speed wise my area is just so so... 6 - 8Mbps only on E372.

The statement is like this from the link : Maxis

"We are proud to bring you the new and improved Maxis Wireless Broadband plans for you to enjoy
the fastest and most reliable internet speeds on-the-go. Now no matter where your life, work or play
takes you, staying connected to the world is easy and affordable.

Now you can do so much more with less time with the introduction of the Maxis 4G LTE. Sign up for

However, it did mentioned in their FAQs that only new registration can enjoy this speed.

Anyone got lost packets issue that cause the loading of website stops? I ran the pingplotter and found a lot of packets lost.

Any good solution for that? I have to keep refreshing the website to get it loaded.

From our MR3420 router, it shows the signal is 54%. Using MF680

I just ran the pingplotter to trace "www.google.com" only.

The ping fluctuate like crazy and very unstable. Due to Mf680? or Maxis tower?

Even LYN forum I need to refresh a feel times to get the page loaded.

Actually this guy mentioned it in Maxis facebook, using sony xperia V to get that speedtest result and screenshot.



So, question is how he managed to run LTE on this phone?

May be he popped in maxis wireless broadband simcard into his phone to test the speed at the LTE available location.

Then if the tower is already congested, whether we are using LTE or 3G, there will be no significant difference.

Isn't the absolute bandwidth of the tower remained the same? The only difference is LTE provide faster speed between the user's modem and the tower only. So if Maxis doesn't increase the backhaul, we will most likely still stuck with the same speed to international website/server.

Could there be a new apn for LTE? Since it is wireless broadband, could it be using maxisbb as apn too?

100% agreed with you...

What is the stock value?
