the voice call is compulsory with the broadband, already confirmed with maxis center last month

btw, how the service ?

i thought voice can be terminated after 6 months

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.

there are no monthly charges for voice call bundled unless you use the service right?

there is RM15 every month after the 6th month

Dc every 30mins ? sure boh ?

I was using the maxis 768 package in taipan area last week... bandwithd test speed is 1.2mbps and ping to 10 server simultaneously continously for 30mins wiht no lost package.

But the latency is slightly high.i seems like they have a based latency of 70ms for the wireless connection.

lj0000, no satisfy with ur digi's edge/gprs ? what are the difference btw this two?

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)

i'm using a t-mobile hsdpa card for my hotlink.
surfing maxis 3g (got hsdpa connection)
the speed was totally mind blowing!
from the log in the control panel, it stated max speed : around 450kb/sec (not 450kbps!)
that translates to 450 x 8 = 3840kbps!
i almost drop my jaw to the basement

i believe there are error in the reading coz the card support up to 1.8mbps only.
either way, the speed was really fast.
much faster than my screamyx.

as i'm using prepaid, i watch the data count goes up so fast & reaches 4mb in no time & i pull the card from my lappie.
check my balance already minus RM40!

btw, i'm selling the card.
check my sig

can u tell me more about this Tmobile card? is it simlocked? does it support DIgi EDGE?

The dc problem seems to have solved today. smooth surfing, downloading porn speed is ok.

LOL, you don't care about the 3GB limit for downloading porns?

I think Maxis won't enforce the 3GB limit in these first few months. Once the service gains porpularity then they will enforce the limit cause there are already many people registered and stuck with the 18(?) month contract. And surely they won't enforce the 3GB limit during the trial period so that they can capture you with the 18 month contract later.

my 3G unlimited access RM120... the direct download can only go up maximum 55kbps.. is this normal or whut?

I can hit 95kB/s down when there's HSDPA signal available, I guess that's the limit you can hit with the 3G unlimited access package.

when checking the download and upload speed overall it say download 300kbps, and upload 40kbps...

just that direct download is very slow = 55kbps...

but surfing is ok when there;s nothing download... else if use together it will be damn slow. i feel like that overall speed bandwidth that i check (300kbps) is fake...

all my 3g cards are unlocked = can be used on any telco
yup.
also support digi edge.

the card got HSDPA,3G,EDGE,GPRS,WIFI (b+g)

max 55 kbps?
of course it is abnormal
lower than dial up??

or maybe u dont have good line there.
or did u mean 55kb/s?

it should be denoted with a B, kb = kilobits and kB = kilobyte

Two quick questions - for those who are using the Maxis 3G unlimited at RM120:

(a) is the IP address assigned fixed or dynamic?

(b) when you sign up for the unlimited package, it is automatically assumed to be the HSDPA capable, correct? So if the customer only has a normal 3G data card, it's the customer's loss, yes?

Thanks!
