try this... put in other sim card, then power on

then use ur browser goto 192.168.0.1. under network tab, see if other network shows up. if show up, then means can use other network.

hehe. when this modem out of date can sell to me.. digi user mar...

NTT = nippon telegram and telephone = high grade network

i think the hsdpa signal looks like an umbrella. so if u r in high raise, then u are 'above' the umbrella. the rest of us are 'under' the umbrella.

hi all

1. the latest roadshow is at the curve ( i signed up there)
the shocking thing is that they dint know abt the 3gig limit!
So waiting for the technician to come and install
some points:
- no more buy modem because going to have a better modem soon
- 3gb limit not implemented yet
- cannot make call using the modem. but can receive call (017 number)
- when receive call, the data service halts!!!
- around june, will launch the call service
- the new modem can handle voice+data at the same time. so no point buying now.
- i signed up for the 384. will see how later. keep fingers crossed.


2. so far, the speed tests are still ok. 384 really close to 384kbps, tested using jaring.

3. trace tests so far are bad. but being on NTT network, I still think its better than streamyx networks. i hope maxis get a priority service from globe and ntt, then will be faster.

4. will give up digi99 if this the maxis better. what do u guys think? some times i cannot tahan digi speed ler.. way too slow. but no limit lar. bt most of the time crawling at 1k-2k

The cheapest edge device u can get should be the motorola v360.

So far it serves me very well, running for few days non-stop downloading
speed is ok, max at 230.4k. not sure how to get faster as this is already a class 10 gprs. unless u r willing to fork out the sierra card, but that one also class 10 so will be 230k as well.

dialing up will get sometimes 60kbps, 40kbps, and sometimes get 110 or 180kbps. depending on location.

it is usb charged, so no worries. if want to use bluetooth also can. but this limits to 115kbps.

the huawei modem can login at 192.168.0.1

according to the sales people, they say it is simlocked.
from the menus, it looks like it supports

gprs, 3g, hsdpa

opps. its zte. not huawei.

blaxez: how did u know u surpassed 3gb? how much p2p did u downloaded? according to the agents, they oni measure the p2p volume not to exceed 3gb. normal surfing should be normal.

Yo i am finally on maxis wireless

some points of view:

maxis hsdpa at 2mbps
maxis edge at 150kbps

fast, but getting diconnected every now and then. almost like every 30 minutes need to reconnect.
bt can be very fast initially up to 100kbps
after 1 hour become 20kbps

next month will launch new modem (smaller one) so be patient!

voice calls are ok, can call out and call in.
but during heavy usage, cannot call in or out. need to stop pc first.

can use this utility to keep track of how much traffic is used.

Digi:
Pros: wide coverage, everywhere also got edge, great for pda to send email
Cons: speed slow a bit, max can do 150kbps
cons: upload speed die... cannot skype (can hear but cannot talk)
cons: taiwan quake took it down

Maxis:
Pros: definately fast speed, even the world is slowing down with the taiwan quake, maxis got no problem at all
cons: dc every 1 hour, dc for 10 minutes
cons: 3gb cap

Celcom:
pros: unlimited and quite wide coverage
cons: top 384kbps, if not will get just 40kbps (no edge fall back)

dear all

the maxis modem actually IS a router by itself!

just connect it to a switch, and it will work.
keep your computer ip addresses within 192.168.0.x (but not 1 lah)
255.255.255.0, 192.168.0.1

heh.. i managed to hit 1gb by just looking at youtube in a few hours. 3gb where got enuff.

anyone paid the bill yet?

Lets do a protest and write to them. ask them to waive the installation charge. we are pioneer group, right? and we deserve something

even their authorised sales people also dunno got such limitation until i bugged them to find out.

they called the maxis ah tau to ask, and he say they do not intend to implement this at the moment.

I think they wont do anything for now as they have big pipes and no user. later when full of user, then clamp down.

anybody paid your bills yet?

maxis having some problem with the hsdpa now.
have to be patient lor.

they still havent solve the photos.friendster.com problem
i use a proxy to bypass then no problem.

if u guys use friendster, can use see the pictures? sometimes can sometimes cannot.

when cannot, can use a proxy to bypass maxis.

go google for proxy. and insert the proxy name in ur browser's connection. make sure the port number is correct.

now.. anyone experiencing bt capping? mine kena cap liao at 30kbps

on how to use proxy

for example with firefox

steps:
1. goto http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html or any other proxy list and tembak for anyone. for example, i use kuwait.

62.150.35.230 80 transparent Kuwait

2. ping the numbers to make sure its alive
start->run->ping 62.150.35.230 -t

3. if not alive, choose another number to play.

4. in firefox, goto tools->option->advanced->network->settings

under manual, enter the number and port
62.150.35.230, port = 80

click ok and you are done!

to undo, simply select 'direct connection' instead of manual proxy.

subang airpot shud be covered under normal 3G. max speed 384kbps.

in the modem setting 192.168.0.1, make sure you select umts prefered.

if you can only get a signal at the windows, y not just install a wireless router and attach to the hsdpa modem? it should be very easy to do so.

who say cannot ping? i usually keep one pc pinging 202.188.1.5 (tmnet dns) to keep the modem alive. otherwise it will auto-disconnect after no activity.

mine can ping ler

saints.. cny going to bring it back to kuching for testing

maxis can use several netowrks, and will auto downgrade when no high speed is available.

hsdpa (3.5)->broadband3G->public 3G->edge->gprs

according to them, if u r in the broadband 3g area, then the traffic is exclusive to bb user oni. if u r not in the area, then u will be using the public 3g, share with maxis phone users.

if u want to know ur area got 3g, just check ur phone. if got line, then at least u will get the public 3g coverage at 384kbps.

Added on February 4, 2007, 5:04 pmjust now tried driving along north south highway. now i know why people adore celcom or digi for frequent travelling use.

I am getting very patchy signal that varies from gsmonly, gprs, edge, and some time no signal at all!

when in between rest stops, usually its gsm or gprs only.
edge is available near rest stops, and near towns

3g only exist in penang or kl! signal is very bad for 3g at northen part of selangor. only manage to get 3g around sg buluh bridge.

if shows umts, means u r not in the hsdpa zone. u r connected to the public 3g

if u trial for 30 days, you pay nothing. zero!
but keep in mind of the dates. they dont call u. u have to go to the maxis center to surrender the modem. be warned of the dates.
