Maxis wireless broadband.

384kbps unlimited RM68 , 768kbps unlimited RM98

brows.gif
Good:
1. No username and password.Just plug and play
2. Very fast connection (HSDPA only. tested speed up to 1.6mbps)
3. Built in battery. Last 3 hour fully charge.
4. Easy to configure modem
5. Fast streaming in YouTube. lol

sad.gif
Bad:
1.Big size modem...
2.Battery overheat prob and can cause modem housing start to melt
3.3GB cap per month.Using more than limit, maxis will charge extra.
4.P2P and torrent block.
5.Modem must put beside window for optimum signal.
6.Power supply unreliable. sometime , if you lucky, you will get very faulty power supply.
7.HIdden charge apply..
8.Unstable internet connection. sometime worse than 56k modem.
Modem model Zte MF600

Conclusion
I have bad experience with this broadband. I already cancel this package and stick with my screamyx package..
My 1st impression, this service is cool but the real thing its sux. Too much problem with modem, connection and also too much hidden charge. mad.gif

384 = 768 = same performance.
*
Are you sure they will charge extra if you exist 3GB bandwidth?
Are you sure there is any hidden charge apple to this?

Please give any evidence to support your statement above.

So mates,

In conclusion? How does this fare compared to Streamyx?
Im supposed to get mine tomorrow... But after reading all the reviews and comments... im not so sure I want to have it..
*
I use it for almost a month already. So far not much complaint about it. Just complaint once before but they manage to fix it within the evening which they really keep their words. You may want to try it. If you not satisfy just return the modem to Maxis Center within 7 days of trial period.

STREAMXY SLOW??? MAXIS WIRELESS FREAKING SLOW.. SAY NO TO STREAMXY?? SAY FREAKING NO TO MAXIS WIRELESS

fyi, im always connected to hsdap. two days after i apply when i try wow with it .. the latency was so good 400-700ms still playable and better than my fren who using streamxy 600-900ms latency.. now?? 2kms or if u lucky maybe can reach 25k ms latency <<world record

hoping those ppl who want to apply for maxis wireless bb will think twice if u got a choice ^^ chow!!

Really that kind of bad for Maxis Wireless Broadband?
I've been using Maxis Wireless Broadband for a month. So far not much complaint. Just cannot torrent on day time except during 1am to 6am. Other than that, is OK for their services.

I'm sure that you cannot get good connection if you are staying above 5th floor. This is what Maxis people told me when I apply for it.

Yes yes

This is even worst then JARING. At least JARING you can get something (at least around 3-10Kb/s) , but then Maxis drops it completely. Your torrent will be completely 0Kb/s untill around 1 in the morning then it starts to pick up. Before that it will be 0...Oh yeah a guy told me here about that, a first i refused to believe . Then With my own eyes I've witness the whole thing. The torrent speed was 0Kb/s , but then sharp 1 AM , bam it started to pickup...till around 6 AM
*
I guess that guy was me. Hahahaha. The speed for torrent really 0 kbps before 1am. Once 1am, your torrent will start to move.

wanna to ask, what is the RSSI, RSCP & Ec/lo???
*
RSSI is Received Signal Strength Indictor and the lower ur dBm the better is your connection.
RSCP is Received Signal Code Power and the higher ur dBm the better is your speed.
Ec/lo is Carrier-to-Interference Ratio and the lower the dBm make your connection stable.

If in active mode, the modem will stand in HSDPA mode.. if idle then the modem will be in UMTS/EDGE mode  unsure.gif

Yes. This is what Maxis do to preserve their bandwidth. Your network type will be back to HSDPA if you no longer idle. So don't complaint about it.

Hi, something to share with all existing and future maxis WBB....

BACKGROUND:
I've got my Maxis WBB on a cash and carry terms (RM100) at the
Curve 15 days ago. I'm staying in Desa ParkCity (Kepong) condo sitting
at the 19th floor.

THE TEST:
My expectation was low as I did not plan to do any BT and i consider
myself as a "light" BB user, but as soon as i got it back to my apartment
i went crazy surfing for software, MP3 and most of all... BT!!!! I've yet to Discon since Day 1 and the Torrenting has not stop ever....

THE RESULTS:

SpeedTest.Net indicates an average of d/l@90kb/s and u/l@35kb/s
during daytime & average of d/l@150kb/s and u/l@39kb/s during 1am till 6am period.

However, BT is really stable sitting at average of 45kB/s daytime and an
amazing 80kB/s at night (Bear in mind that these torrents are low peers
torrent). Max BT speed is at 155kB/s (constant for 4 hours, still cannot
determine the real contributor to max-out at all times).

(Note: The key factor for high-rise condo users is that you need to
enhance the anttenna for the ZTEMF600 using this link:
http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template/index.html
Helps to reduce Ec/Io factor by 3-5 dB)

PROBLEM:

I've just found out abt the new RM138 pm Maxis USB connection
package.... and 3.5Mbps is really attractive together with the sexy
pocket size modem (comparing to ZTEMF600:sucks!), therefore i know
i needed a plan to CHANGE....

SOLUTION:
I went to Maxis KLCC at 4pm today and I told them my 50true/50untrue
story:

I told them that the sales team at the Curve promise me a free upgrade
from the existing package and that i can use the ZTE while waiting for
the new USB, i also told them that i've only found out about the 18 months tied-up yesterday thru the hotline operator. I pinpointed that as
this is cash & carry, Maxis CANNOT NOT ENFORCE FIX CONTRACT unlike
ASTRO where you request installation. I was making a scene at the new
USB WBB counter and the Manager finally shows up and apologized for
the confusion. He claims that because Maxis sub out the sales to agents
and they should be the one responsible for the misunderstanding. But
i told them that the "agents" were wearing Maxis T-shirts and Maxis Banner all over the place. The crowd there (potential Maxis WBB user) agrees with me. The manager gave in and ask me to return the old modem tomorrow morning in exchange for the USB type. Wish me luck tomorrow.

CONCLUSION:
If you pay, you are the consumer. If not happy, Consumer can make
noise. If make noise, Noise must be heard by EVERYBODY. Therefore,
go to Maxis KLCC at peak hour (2pm till 5pm) if you wanna be heard.
must be heard....
*
Are you sure you can BT during daytime? I also using the Power Package of Maxis Wireless Broadband. BT is 100% not moving during daytime except after 1am then it moves with crazy speed. Btw, wish you luck tomolo if you able to change your modem. =)

Do you mind sharing the details? Will this boost the BT speed? any results to share?

I've just shifted to Maxis WBB USB 3.5Mbps from the lame ZTEMF600... I've got "great speed" during the first hour
but after optimizing some registry and stuff, the speed drop back to a 768k performance... still new alot of optimization...

You switch to the new USB modem. Do you find it better than the ZTE modem? What is the procedure you need to switch it? I'm currently using the ZTE modem. I mean the new ZTE modem and Power Package.

Do you guys find any difficulty connecting to MSN? It takes me a long time to connect and sometimes it will connect and disconnect then connect back again. I wonder is this my problem or Maxis problem. Any idea?
