Labuan ... even Penang also hasn't got this service even there's Maxis 3G coverage in Penang.

Another way is to gather up quite a number of people interested in signing up for this service in your area and write in to Maxis about the number of people interested in signing up but there is no coverage yet.

Maxis 3G is currently available at Klang Valley, PG and JB (if I'm not mistaken).

then i have to rely back on Digi. I heard the entire Labuan will be EDGE ready by next month.

celcom has 3G but it's only limited to the financial park area.

Perhaps Celcom will roll out its Broadband via 3G soon.

i am using Celcom 3G...........good for downloading data...no problem of getting max speed most of the time...45KBbps out of 48KBbps everytime..

BUt...really cannot play online game thru Kali or Gamespy Arcade...coz IP address always keep changing...argggg...

Now have to use Streamxy to play online Game...

There's a 30-day trial period for Maxis HDSPA 3G.

It's not a service suitable for high-capacity usage like P2P, but I don't see much harm in trying it out for a month if you are desperate for an alternative from Streamyx.

I just called up maxis to ask about the 3GB limitation. According to them, once your total data transfer reaches 3GB, you will automatically be cut off and won't be able to browse anymore.

For nomal surfing and IM usage, 3GB is more than enough per month. The reason why they did this was to limit heavy download usage that may clog up the bandwidth.

How about write to them for request the extra limitation??? Is it got any extra charges???
Now totally dissapointted with Streamyx...keep on DC...

You can try to do that though. Just tell them you need more bandwidth per month maybe with a reason that you will be sharing the connection with families/housemates. Good luck and hope that idea would be approved.

I think 3Gig is a little bit too little. Fair value would be around 6 GIG.

It all depends on your usage also. If you sit infront of the computer for the whole day then 3GB of bandwidth obviously won't be enough. For me, 3GB would be enough if you are not going to download much.

tested maxis 3g/hsdpa by using option globetrotter gt max data card

RM120 package, 38% signal strength at subang jaya ss17

do you get the internal ip address or external ip address?

as well !

For me 3GB or even 10GB permonth is not worth it as with EDGE I can download roughly 35-40GB per month. And how are they going to compete with streamyx which offers unlimited downloading?

With a much more stable connection ? And you could download 35-40GB per month with EDGE ? What is your maximum download speed ? I'm amazed.
