You will be surfing with a laptop ? If yes then certainly it now comes with a modem so you won't have to use your phone to act as a modem thus you won't need to maintain the battery power of your phone. If you are sure that you won't go over the 3GB bandwidth limit per month, you can go ahead and take up 3G service from Maxis but if you do exceed the limit, I suggest you to take up Celcom's 3G service.

QUOTE(wufei @ Oct 9 2006, 01:43 PM) 1 word EXPENSIVE!!! Although it is expensive, bare in mind that it is unlimited usage compared to Maxis' 3G service where it has a 3GB bandwidth limit per month. If a user does exceed the 3GB per month, it is recommended to take Celcom's 3G but if it is less than 3GB per month, Maxis should fit in well.  |

QUOTE(ijamz @ Oct 9 2006, 06:03 PM) 3g from celcom is expensive?..i tot only rm99 for the package..the D99.. I guess they are comparing with Maxis' 3G service. For Celcom, all Streamyx users get to subscribe it for a monthly fee of RM88 though. |

QUOTE(ijamz @ Oct 10 2006, 11:36 AM) .thats the first thing come into my mind...even its rm88 but its not for existing user..its special for NEW CELCOM USER ( i mean subscribing new number..only for surfing and cannot receive calls ..just like stimix replacement ) only...ive asked celcom already bout this.. Same goes to Maxis where it is only for data usage. For voice calls + 3G the package is RM100+ but I can't remember exactly the price. 480kbps should be alright for now as you know it runs on TMNet's backbone so it tends to get congested too. What phone and model are you using ?btw..ive just take the d99 package...ermm..for surfing its ok but my speed is 480kbps..isthis normal? i tot only 384...and how do we know its 3g or gprs? someone mention to me i can just look at the signal bar at my phone.. |

QUOTE(ijamz @ Oct 10 2006, 12:19 PM) im using n70...im connecting thru my pc via usb...maybe thats the bottleneck instead of using bluetooth thingy...im used to stimix 1mb so this time kind a lag..hehe I ain't sure about Nokia phones, the manual book should have stated what is the sign when there is 3G signal. Another way is determining the speed where 400+kbps should be 3G already as EDGE can achive that speed. QUOTE(xinhui81 @ Oct 10 2006, 12:28 PM) Just get a call from Maxis HSDPA techician, they wanna take out HSDPA service at my area.. due to the unstable service... haha.. Maxis, u surprising me!! Sad to hear that. Perhaps finding another provider would be the last solution. |

QUOTE(xinhui81 @ Oct 10 2006, 02:10 PM) Maxis claim that they will install wired broadband at my housing area. But again, i check their wired broadband terms & conditions, they limit the usage to 3Gb for this wired broadband as well. Does anyone using Maxis wired broadband now? Need some opinion from you guys. thanks. I've heard quite some good feedbacks from Maxis Wired Broadband users. There is only one setback in it which you did mentioned too that is the 3GB bandwidth limit per month. You have to really confirm that you won't exceed the 3GB per month before you hop on to that service. |

QUOTE(cookie860217 @ Nov 15 2006, 08:01 PM) erm wt does AFAIK means? All wireless connection will surely have higher latency times compared to a normal wired connection. AFAIK means "As far as I know".so the latency is 300-350?? tht is quite bad for online games even jaring is around 100 to 150 ms maybe i should try the 1 month hmm then their statement of fast and uninterrupted online gaming is misleading??  erm btw i heard some ppl say that we dun hav to pay the installation fee by installing ourself but some ppl say tht it is required...which is it? even their term and conditions it is stated there that installation is optional so i am really kinda confused right now and do i have to pay on the spot when i register or can i to wait for their bill to come?? |

People who subscribe to wireless broadband are mainly for 2 reasons either it is for mobility or they can't subscribe to any wired broadband service in their area. People who play online games which requires low latency will always avoid wireless broadband.

QUOTE(shamnemesis @ Nov 26 2006, 02:02 AM) hello everybody , Depending on your usage too. If you won't exceed the 3GB per month bandwidth limit, Maxis' 3G is pretty stable. I don't think many complaint about their service except for the bandwidth limit only.im about to getting broadband for my notebook , the problem is since i dont have fixed line at home (no telekom phone), and i cant seems to apply for streamyx ,but i have some option to choose between maxis broadband,digi and celcom , but i heard there's alot of complaint for the maxis broandband since they allowed only 3gb limited and no p2p ... so which is good for me can someone recommend ? |

QUOTE(asiatrader98 @ Nov 26 2006, 09:44 AM) yes, shamnemesis is right, but eventually, the end user/consumer did not enjoy the benefit even the new product such as maxis wireless appear, u still have to stick with ur streamyx for the p2p (even no worth it ) & pay to maxis for the mobility That's why it all depends on his usage. Plus bare in mind his area is not covered by TMNet's Streamyx service which leaves him with no options than to go for wireless. so , u pay & pay more because of the new product (we hope for replacement of other, but....),  no..because of our need   |

QUOTE(usermail @ Jan 7 2007, 12:58 AM) i'm interested to know if Celcom 3G allows for good p2p/t0rr3nt There was once a comparison in the newspaper showing that Celcom's 3G service defeated Maxis' 3G service in terms of download speed in most areas.cheers! QUOTE(GuyverTM @ Jan 7 2007, 09:30 AM) Want to know what is DD-WRT firmware It is a 3rd party firmware which can be flashed only on supported routers and one of the cheapest and common router that is supported in Malaysia is the Linksys WRT54G family. More information regarding this firmware can be found here. |

QUOTE(chanlman @ Jan 10 2007, 10:30 AM) I signed up Broadband Ultimate 384 with Home Voice Standard. Cost me RM50 and RM18 (modem rental). Bond to a 18-month contract. First 6-month I got WAIVED Home Voice (RM15/ month normally). The bad side about it is that they impose a 3GB bandwidth limit per month. Plus the service is still quite new so we will have to wait to see if the performance drops or not when there are more subscribers.The performance: check out my site http://chanlman.multiply.com/journal/item/34 (btw... I post the same thing in mypdacafe.com )  |

QUOTE(chanlman @ Jan 10 2007, 02:42 PM) one more thing to add... (maybe some1 has said it). Well of course that is the benefit you get from wireless but for gamers it is not a good choice to go for wireless. For people on the move, wireless is the way to go. The modem is not fixed location because the modem comes with Battery which could last 3 hours. So if your area is congested. Bring the laptop n modem to other Taman... its portable.... (hehe.. kiasu) |

Yes actually 3GB is enough for normal usage like surfing but of course that applies to light/medium users only. Heavy users who always visit sites with lots of images like Friendster should be downloading a big number of data too.

QUOTE(davidmu @ Jan 12 2007, 10:19 PM) that means cannot see Friendster photo? It doesn't mean that you will not be able to browse Friendster but it is just an example of how the 3GB per month bandwidth limit can be achieved quickly.I refresh so many time also cannot load the photo... so dissappointed(after I saw MaxisBroadband clearly)   |

QUOTE(wufei @ Jan 15 2007, 01:31 PM) dont said about A Asia, KTMB also cannot bukak. It seems like dial up because you are used to high speed internet already. Also DIGI's EDGE are for users that don't have 3G coverage or any proper internet service in their area.Sunday got a problem a bit. FYI if your modem connected at EDGE, wooshhh, so slow, just like dial up, i wonder those DIGI subscriber using EDGE, how they can tahan |

QUOTE(andyjyneo @ Jan 31 2007, 01:06 AM) even 1.6mbps also useless because of 3gb/month limit That's why they can afford to offer high speed because of the limit. You will achieve the limit real fast. |

Well I saw the Maxis promoter in Giant Hypermarket, Kelana Jaya using the broadband via 3G and the surfing speed is excellent. Only the modem doesn't look too good.
