guys... just got my maxis home 3 days ago and my torrenting speeds really bad. average only manage to get 60kbps... i am shock as just switch over from Unifi... might want to consider paying RM500 just to cut it off and end my suffering...

any advice to improve torrent speed? is 60kbps normal?

what speed are you getting between 8PM to 12AM?

dont sign up.. i am in the middle of processing for cancellation if they cant solve my torrenting issue where they promise me even capped i still get 500kbps which is total bullsh*t

this is going to be my main reason to cancel it as i am a heavy torrent user... 25 to 50 just cant believe it...

damn shit man... i am opening a case with them about my torrent, baidu player, Qvod, PPS... i am depending on this for all my movies... now i cant even stream.. no life after switching to MAX-SHIT!!

ok done talking with their L2 and they said that yes we capped between 8PM to 2AM for P2P, Games, torrenting and few more that i dont know... so whats the capped speed? We capped at 500kbps... oh 500kbps but i am only getting 50kbps every night.. how can you explain this?
Oh sir.. why not send me a screenshot... ok sent. oh Sir you getting 50kBps which is correct... when i say we capped at 500kbps.. is a small letter b which is bit and not bytes....

so yes MAXSHIT capped us to 50kBps between 8PM to 2AM... so live with it man... cant do much! and when they say 500kbps.. is a small letter b stand for bit and not bytes.. got a really good technical lesson from the L2... for those of you who thinking 1mBps download speed then do it before 8PM or after 2AM la... so basically this MAXsHIT is useless and please dont sign up.. i am going to pay RM500 to cut it off!

tell me about it... i going to MAXIS CENTER this Sunday to cut it and they already give me some stupid number that i need to read it out.. and MAXIS CENTER gonna be full of people this Sunday

TIME no coverage in my area yet.. if got i sure switch la...

i notice that today they din capped... i also manage to download my torrent @ 1MBPS today
any how their capping rules is crazy sometimes capped and sometimes din capped.

is actually 50kbps only...

B = bytes
b= bit

so 500kbps = 500/8 = 62.5kBps

that is the maximum speed you will get when torrenting between 8PM to 2AM

once throttle really sucks!

use homeplug.. settle

Maxis is like maximum shit. Everything also problem. Gaming, streaming, p2p file sharing, etc etc

I suspended my maxis account and now they want me to walk in to their maxis center to do the cancellation. I guess I can't avoid the 500 penalty charges.

just back from Maxis center and confirm that for my case i can waived the penalty because is a miss selling from their agent where they mentioned is a 500kbps instead of 500kBps (bit vs bytes)

500kbps = 500/8 = 62.5KBps
meaning 500 kilo bits = 62.5 kilo bytes

my conclusion after on Maxis for 3 weeks is that it sucks big time!
Thank god i manage to avoid the RM500 penalty
If you install it and found that it does not fit you immediately call them and log a case with them
Tell them is their wrong selling (500kbps vs 500kBps)
Tell them that you want to cancel
Ask them to log it inside their call log and provide you with an interaction number
Then go apply Unifi
Set installation date with Unifi
Once install, call Maxis to Suspend the account (so they wont bill you anymore)
Then go to Maxis Center to fill up a cancellation form
you are done... finally back with Unifi!

yes is unlimited but with capped for P2P like torrent. Cap you at 50kbps so you cant do shit
QVOD, PPS, BAIDU PLAYER - all streaming player that uses almost the same concept also capped. only thing not capped maybe porn site and youtube.

Maxis dota 2 ping is around 23 to as high as 49ms
Unifi from 7 to highest also 19ms
