unlimited package means the 3g package offered for phone?
the RM120/month package?

yup.
the rm120 package

Have to confirm whether the said torrent was locally seeded and within the Maxis/Malaysian network. There may not be any caps or throttling on the internal network, or when Maxis interconnects to other local networks such as TMNet, Jaring and TimeNet. If you can really get those kind of speeds from overseas peers, I'll sign up today!

Oh, and read the T&Cs carefully - I read somewhere that Maxis will release the names and details of those people suspected of downloading materials which infringe on intellectual property rights to the relevant authorities if they are required to do so, which will result in more aggressive enforcement.



Err...Time? They've released their 3G services quietly?

oops!
he actually using celcom unlimited 3g package.
sorry for the mistake. my bad

yes can torrent on 3G..

as for the speed, if hsdpa for sure can get fast speed than 3G

but my 3G via N70 , direct download http only max 55kbps.. pretty sad..

i think the speed is effected by handphone type, or maybe location. both USB cable and bluetooth give the same direct http speed for my case..

guys, how much maxis charged you for the 1st bill?

guys, please differentiate between maxis 3g unlimited and maxis 3g WBB

maxis 3g unlimited:
1. RM120/month
2. use your phone as modem
3. unlimited

maxis 3g WBB:
1. RM68/month
2. a HSDPA-supported modem
3. 3gb/month

Spot on.

A little addendum to maxis 3g unlimited, point 2:

Most people (for now) use a HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS data card to connect when doing data transfers. Some claim they get better speeds this way.

exactly, i saw my cousin-in-law doing this before they introduced 3g WBB
he bought the data card for RM1k
really crazy, man
the signal and speed is not really satisfying
all the time, it shows EDGE (2.5g) speed if inside the house

well, that's for laptop... but what about desktop computers?
they don't release any PCI card for desktops

PCMCIA card can be conected to desktop PC through cable(Special converter PCMCIA to PCI. The transfers speed is really satisfying. But what for you want to use a desktop PC for 3G Broadband. The whole function for 3G Broadband is to go for mobile; so I don't think Maxis or Celcom will invest anymore in developing in Desktop 3G

well, en_feruz, your quote makes sense
but people like me have no choice but to go mobile on desktop PCs because i've a fussy landlord who stays together with me
no internet, no over-use electricity
right now, i'm using digi edge as my primary connection
darn!

There is a PCMCIA/PC Card to PCI converter but I am not sure if it will work with the data cards or not. They plug straight into a PCI slot on the PC. If this works, then you have to relocate your CPU unit to a higher location to get a better signal I guess.

EXAMPLE:

i'm using one PCMCIA to PCI with OPTION DATA CARD
works well with desktop

note: in desktop the data card is inserted upside down

Yes, I have one of these cards too! Works well. Do you still place your CPU unit on the floor when using the 3G data card? Doesn't it affect the reception this way?

i put it on my desk, but since it's in the room upstairs, reception is quite good


but i'm using digi edge, haven't try 3g

I just got my HSDPA modem today.

FYI, the connection speed s*ks. + Unstable. Sometimes DC
Connection speed variable, sometimes HSDPA sometimes UTMS sometimes EDGE.

But RSSI led is on , that means reception streght healthy.

I need to do more testing then I repost.

For those who said this modem can be use with router. What is the user login password? As I can see its only 3 digits or 3 character. But the username is maxis.

You need the user name and password to instruct the modem to login.

Now I am really appreciated what tmnut has provided to us (screamyx) compare with those 3G wireless broadband. Although there are some hitch with BT. Its like back to dial up 56K

i had signup for celcom unlimited data plan rm120
will receive the sim card on tuesday.
i'll report here bout the perfomance.
hope i can recreate the speed my customers are getting

free ad : now i also have t-mobile gt-max card (support hsdpa 7.2 mbps )

Alright, moving from dining room to living room . sitting near the windows.

Connection speed impressive.

For those who intend to online in the room , better be cautious.
The connection seems to be weak when you getting deeper into the house.

Later I will try it in my room too.

Why does it take so long for you to receive the SIM card? I thought it's issued on the spot?

What's the speed you're getting?
