QUOTE(ronnie @ Jan 17 2014, 11:33 AM) DrPritchard mentions during the RM118 early-bird promo...the RM118 will stay as long as you are a subscriber even after the initial 24-month contract. Take it with a pinch of salt really. Im pretty sure all these werent in black and white, instead are just promises from particular Maxis staffs doing the promo. Anything thats not in B&W is just merely sweeteners.

Do you guys suffer massive slowdown in download speed from some US and Europe site since last week. My company is using Maxis 32M BizFibre and we really heavily for the connection to Amazon cloud US for daily operation, the download speed I get get now is only 10-15KB/s with direct connection (no other traffic). With the other leased line and also Unifi at my home, I can easily get 300-400KB/s. I also tested in my brother house (which use Maxis Homefibre 10M), the speed is very slow too.
Already complained to Maxis they don't seems to bother, just told me still investigating, now says wanna send people over to check. Really sucks. Send people to check also no use, its peering and routing problem.

My conclusion is avoid Maxis, its way worse than Unifi.

Yes, I noticed since last week iTunes Radio, spotify and netflix is buffering like crazy every few seconds. I thought it was my dns problem but when I connect with DiGi broadband, no buffering at all. The buffering is on my Apple TV, ipad and also iPhone.

Very bad ping / massive delay (or what we call 'rubberbanding' in game) to US / EU servers, since last week as well.

Just make a complaint to maxis, I think they will look into it if everybody complain.
ABN no comment, didn't know anyone using it.

Maxis does not have their own international link and have to buy transit from other providers, the likes of TM, SingTel or NTT. And their quality is dependent on these operators. TM being a tier-1 national telco has connectivity to most countries regionally.

TM being a tier-1 national telco has connectivity to most countries regionally. TM is not that great either, we had TM metro E before and the international link is poor. China 200+ms latency, Europe 300ms. Now we bought local loop from our office to AIMs from maxis (because its cheap ). Then have a lot of choice there, Tata, PCCW, Hutchison just to name a few. We chose Pacnet which offers premium route, latency to Europe is 220, china 80. Way better than TM and actually its cheaper than TM.

Then I try downloading back from there, and the speed is awful. Alternating between 6~20kB/s. Totally opposite of the upload speed which reached a healthy 700~1000kB/s
