I am talking about 3gigs download limitation. Most ISPs in the world doesn't impose such limitation and if there is one that do that, customers has many alternatives and change shop around and change to a different ISPs quickly, conveniently. what the fark are you talking about?

QUOTE(soul2soul @ Sep 19 2006, 12:08 AM) name me the ISP that does not block or throttle P2P. P2P is hogging the network resources and bandwidth. That's why ISPs are starting to "block" it.It's a trend everywhere in the world now.  |

wow this maxis do has ALOT of HIDDEN rules always in their service, just like the maxis mobile, maxis is a freaking expert doing that, with such limitations implemented (like no p2p and freaking 3gb/month) they should really guarateeeeeee their service/uptime/lag/delay/watever... and yet they are still on *best effort basis
its like i dun care u subsribe u pay me, u have no alternatives (as convenience in taking notebook to anywhere online?) and yes i sucking all ur moooney out, so wat? i can see its like we pay maxis we get lousy connection with limitations + u cannot do anything (worse than tmnet) usually isp rules are like, unlimited but no p2p or p2p but limited bandwidth or unlimited but pay more or guarantee service level but no p2p but maxis is no p2p, limited bandwidth, service level not guaratee and its not cheap  This post has been edited by Christopher_LKL: Sep 19 2006, 09:01 AM |

Thanks for the forumers who revealed all the "hidden clauses" in the terms and conditions.

Maxis is being smart here. I think they have done their homework. They know they cant cater for p2p fanboys/fangirls. Even if they open it up [like TM] , they would end up [like TM], Its simple as that. I dont blame them at all..If you ask me 3GB is enough , of course if you want more , you could just write to them. 10GB a month is good enough for basic stuff , basic downloading and stuff like that.

QUOTE(mumeichan @ Sep 18 2006, 07:41 PM) Some interesting points in their terms and conditions Sorry to say, their terms and conditions is worst, we have right to use how many GB or TB, the service is not free we pay for it, it is stupid idea to limited it.5.2 Peer-To-Peer and File Sharing Software 5.2.1 Certain software/applications which is used by a small number of customers to send and receive files containing very large amounts of data (including without limitation traffic from peer-to-peer software/applications (such as Bit Torrent, eDonkey, Gnutella) or file sharing software (such as Limewire)). These activities may cause network congestion and can negatively impact the speed at which other customers can access the internet. 5.2.2 Maxis does not guarantee a service level and/or connectivity to users of peer-to-peer or file sharing software/applications. 5.3 Excessive Usage 5.3.1 Each customer's total usage per month shall NOT exceed 3GB of data volume transmitted (total upload and download usage). This is to ensure that no individual hogs the bandwidth at all times. 5.3.2 If a customer wishes to use more than the volume permitted, a written request should be made to Maxis. 5.3.3 Maxis reserves the right to reject the said application or charge for any additional data volume transmitted from what is already allocated. 4.8 Maxis may, at its sole discretion, automatically disconnect the customer's internet session after a period of inactivity, which may vary from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. This automatic disconnection is to allow maximum network performance. I am very concerned about the 3GB data transfer limitation. Is that is a warning or do they actually cap the data transfer to 3GB per month? Their worst than TM. |

That's true.I notice digi EDGE depends a lot of numbers of user in the area. If there are too many voice users in the area, you will be throttled to 56kpbs. the 200kbps (via handphone) could only be achieved 50% of the time in my experience, that also during midnight and early morning.
The latency sucks too. 500-600ms for the first loop. I have no experience with 3G, and would like to try it out. I heard 3G latency is around 300ms and their 384kbps speed is more consistent than EDGE. Other than that digi edge is still a reliable backup internet service just in case streamyx died. I will definitely subscribe to maxis 3G broadband package if it is available in my area. I am sharing streamyx with my housemate which is always down (20%) of the time. So, I think i could afford another broadband. But not sure when maxis will role out their 3G to labuan.  This post has been edited by soul2soul: Sep 24 2006, 09:15 AM |
