30GB per month is still one of the cheapest mobile broadband package in the world.

For comparison, try 10GB Yes package instead.

There's no way you will use that much with a mobile plan if you stuck the SIM solely inside your smartphone.

Those complaining must be using it on their desktops for fixed line replacements. It's against the definition of mobile internet.

Consuming gigabytes in just a day or two? Even watching 360p SD videos, streaming radio and texting with internet messaging won't get to consume this much traffic.

Heavy user? There's always Unifi, Home Fibre Internet or Streamyx for that need.

This is UNLIMITED Mobile Internet. By mobile telco definition, it's supposed to be STRICTLY only on your phone.

Dont' get too overwork there.

I am never on the telco side. That's the loop hole that we consumers enjoyed till now. But the idea which telcos have in mind was different, because the unlimited idea which they had was more towards their revenues and profits.

Well after all this don't you think RM68 for 30GB is something very generous when it's even for DC-HSPA+ which is better than Yes Bestari?

I prefer Spangles the cock eye cat better

2.5sens a MB? That's expensive

If you're on the go, you won't be leaving your laptop on with auto sleep mode off torrenting away 24/7.

You won't have the time to watch 1080p resolution Youtube videos all day long on cats.

You still need to turn off your laptop auto sleep mode for your fav AV BD-ISOs. 7-8GB on average each yo.

The agreement which people signed for legacy Unlimited 3G Internet only applied to 3G.It also had a clause which said that Maxis reserves the right to make changes in future services.

Now with a new 4G service, Maxis has the right to set new terms since the previous contract only covers upo 3G, EDGE and GPRS in those early years.

The bandwidth congestion excuses that telcos give are mostly exagerated rants to increase their profits.Some news that clarifies some truth:

Cable Industry Finally Admits Caps Not About Congestion

Point 1:
Cable operators also paid countless think tanks, consultants and fauxcademics to spin scary yarns about a looming network congestion "exaflood," only averted if cable operators were allowed to raise rates, impose caps, eliminate regulation or (insert pretty much anything here).

Point 2:
It only took the better part of a decade, but the cable industry has apparently realized they can no longer pretend that caps are really about congestion. Speaking at a meeting this week, former FCC boss turned top cable lobbyist Michael Powell finally acknowledged caps weren't about congestion, though he did continue pushing the myth that caps are about "fairness"

If usage caps were about "fairness," carriers would offer the nation's grandmothers a $5-$15 a month tier that accurately reflected her twice weekly, several megabyte browsing of the Weather Channel website.
Instead, what we most often see are low caps and high overages layered on top of already high existing flat rate pricing, raising rates for all users.

Comment: Did you know that if telcos get away by undoing true UNLIMITED plans undirectly gives them the greenlight to raise subscriber fees?

Does raising rates on a product that already sees 90% profit margins sound like "fairness" to you?

Point 3:
Another favorite industry argument is that providing broadband is so expensive for a carrier, the flat rate pricing model simply isn't sustainable, but that's also debunked if you eyeball quarterly earnings from any of the major broadband players.

Comment: How come telcos are still reporting fat revenue margins every quarter until now? Maxis and TM still reported revenues over a billion for 2012??

What the industry's really doing is using the benefit of uncompetitive markets to price gouge customers..

Accepting individuals for Corporate plans that requires photocopy of company tags/badges, registered company director/owner's authorization letter and addendums with falsified ones is an act of crime.

CNY2013 Mascot From ASTRO and sister company Maxis.



The ular mascot called Ulala...
More like failed crossbreeding between Pikachu and Angry Birds.

Maxis can use the green Ulala

But the ISP still is Maxis Broadband Sdn Bhd?

This Green Ulala is trolling you all.

The case looks more like a done on purpose. It's not hard for internal auditors to verify the authenticity of the company badges and directors that wrote the recommendation letters for the corporate account applications.I won't go into detail but a simple phone call and a background check on the company can reveal a whole lot of things.

That's why I said he's trolling.

Green ~Ulala~ owuld have been more slippery if you have applied the right oil.

If you're going to spend money on a 20GB plan from Maxis WBB, have a look at UMobile or YES instead?

uMobile 20Gb 42mbps on top of their call plans worth taking a look at.
Now that their 3G DC-HSPA network is pairing with Maxis with 2G fallback with Celcom is close to excellent coverage.

MNP is possible.

For YES, many are looking at their 10GB with the phone bundle(RM200 rebate) plus purchasing a MiFi for desktop use. Can share account between 2 devices. Keep your existing Maxis with Value Data Bundle..

12GB for RM198? That's scary.

As long as you're not under contract with device bundle, you can call up CSO to change package(advisable to do it at near billing cycle).
