oh the maxis guy was really friendly. he was searching for the best signal in my house and he stayed over an hour just looking around for the best signal. lol

My maxis installer did that. HE came can plug in the cable and sim card then test for yahoo then go off. lol
All in less then 10 min.
Talk about express install. lol

he should not do that as you're already paid rm88 as the installation fee...he suppose to help you to find a good coverage for the modem at least...

the installation fee is compulsory but the technician like doing nothing.. just plug and leave...

alright , may i know is it compulsory to subscribe voice package?

mine was quite good..he stayed quite long use his n90 and walk around the hse looking for the best 3g signal and then he did some bandwidth test for me...taught me how to check if i am connected to edge,3g or the high speed 3g

i heard that you can configure the modem.., what configuration can be done on the modem?

can do port forwarding?

r u in penang area? ...which part?

david6055, may i know where u stay...kepong which part............?
coverage is high speed 3G or 3G?
i stay at kepong baru where btw segambut(sri sinah)& kepong area
do not can get the better speed or not?

i live in subang jaya

Dear all, i have summited the form for applying the maxis wireless broadband,
now wait for approval of maxis whether to accept my application or not (not a high speed 3G coverage area) .

1 thing most of them here did not mentioned about the RM15 monthly access fee for the 017 home voice, YOU CAN NOT CANCEL THIS 017 HOME VOICE with ur wireless broadband .......u only save RM90 since maxis waive 6 months of access fees & offer only valid until end of this year is this a good offer?

so, in total, u shall add RM15 to 384 kbps package + RM50 + RM18 (modem rental) = RM83 per month & RM15 + 768 kbps package + RM80 +RM18 (modem rental) = RM113. so, value of money or not ?

as for the 3GB limitation, maxis will issue the warning letter to u once u exceed this 3GB limitation, & take action either limit the broadband speed of ur account & so & so, but no addtional charge to ur account currently.... how about later?

as long as the service can used for unlimited online, i do not mind the lower broadband speed (since my work area did not have high speed 3G) but it shall be faster than the normal dial-up, & i will not use this for downloading purpose, so nothing to worry about this issue

some of the maxis center ppl told me u may be liable for some charges (maybe RM188 one time charge + 1 month access fee) in case u do not want to commit later after 30 day no risk guarantee..... but when I call to maxis broadband center 1800-82-2000, they told me no charge at all after u have tried the service less than 30 days .........so, what is the right answer? How come i always get the different answer from different ppl ?

anything else?

Hope the above info can help for those who are keen with this wireless broadband serve......

yes, it is compulsory to subscribe voice package RM15 per month & maxis have offered
1. standard home plan, RM0.15~0.30 per call for local area & outstation
2. home plan 38, no monthly access fee, 250 free minutes for local, STD & mobile calls, subsequent charges after 250 minutes (maxis to maxis RM0.15/min, other operators RM0.20/min)

which one better ?

as for the modem, u better take the modem rental package (RM18 per month until u cancel) rather than buy at upfront fee of RM299...why?

as long as u still maintain the wireless broadband service with maxis, they warranty the modem until u cancel the service, while as for own the modem by cash u only get one year warrantly which is is good?

btw, this is 18 months contract with maxis wireless broadband

i hope i am right for the above statement since maxis ppl always provide me different answer as i mentioned before

not worth it if compulsory have to pay RM15 for the 017 phone line. The whole purpose of getting wireless is that we can disconnect our Telekom house phone and save RM25 line rental per month.

The 3 GB limit is worrying. Now, they say its not an issue but eventually, they reserve the right to penalise.

do you mean that the RM15 is compulsory? they should not make it compulsory...

yes it is compulsary. But why would one want a another 017 landline which charges 30 sen peak and 15 sen non peak to handphones and 03 landlines when nearly everybody got handphones?

I rather keep my Telekom line which charges 4 sen to 03-xxxxxxxx numbers.

they just want to add more profit... means after 6 month..., it is rm50 + rm18 + rm15..

so, basically, the broadband cost for rm83... almost same as streamyx 1mb..

Not only RM83, but you only get 384k speed.

At least, Streamyx (RM66 + RM25 Telekom Line Rental) = RM91 but you get 512k and also no 3 GB limit like Maxis.

Also, got proper phone line that you can fix your fax machine to.

Eventually, Maxis also will bar p2p. So, what for want to pay RM100 + RM80 connection fee?

hello everybody ,

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 ?

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.

thanks for quick reply ..and i dont think i have an option here since digi is connection is quite slow and celcom 3gcard is quite expansive
