Yes actually 3GB is enough for normal usage like surfing but of course that applies to light/medium users only. Heavy users who always visit sites with lots of images like Friendster should be downloading a big number of data too.

Remember that the 3Gb includes both upload and download. So if you uploads loads of attachments via email or pictures or whatnots, this should count towards the total limit

Yes its true, especially you have a blog. Lots of uploading.

If they restrict me to 3gb I will straight away write to them.

Friendster

Heavy image page

Pages with flash

Youtube

Msn

IM

All this is heavy data inflow and outflow

how about if we really need to use more than 3GB??? For those web programmer like me who always need to help company upload things back to web server when we work from home.....very ja lar. Hope Masix will not become another "kacang"....

If you use more than 3GB, we advise you to subscibe to the 3G unlimited data plan which is only RM120 per month. You can either caccess to internet thru a 3G phone or using a data card (recommended).

The reason why is, unlimited data plan is really unlimited. Secondly it doesn't use the bulky modem which need power supply.

We have been using the RM120 package for the past 1 year, no complaints. Currently we also upgrade the data card to a 3.5G USB device.

mpxong,
a data card??? issit an another external device that plug into PC or Notebook and then can connect to net straight away??? No need modem???Issit plug & play???

Thx for ur advise.

This device that we are currently using is a credit card size USB modem, need to install the program to run it.

We can actually set it to auto connect; once you pluck in to your laptop or desktop, it will go to the homepage directly like Strxxxxx without hassle.

..."Currently we also upgrade the data card to a 3.5G USB device."? What do you mean? You've found a way to convert a PC Card into a USB device? Or you sell the USB HSDPA modem?

that means cannot see Friendster photo?

I refresh so many time also cannot load the photo...
so dissappointed(after I saw MaxisBroadband clearly)

It doesn't mean that you will not be able to browse Friendster but it is just an example of how the 3GB per month bandwidth limit can be achieved quickly.

Err...

I can't get friendster photos to load..

Don't know whats wrong..

But am able to use the connection as usual..

last week I can't book air ticket on line from Axx-Asia. It always shows timed out. No choice but have to go to my friend's house with Streamyx to book. Connection no problem and very fast...what happend to Maxis???

dont said about A Asia, KTMB also cannot bukak.

Sunday got a problem a bit.

FYI if your modem connected at EDGE, wooshhh, so slow, just like dial up, i wonder those DIGI subscriber using EDGE, how they can tahan

It seems like dial up because you are used to high speed internet already. Also DIGI's EDGE are for users that don't have 3G coverage or any proper internet service in their area.

I have been using dail-up all my life and Digi EDGE seems pretty fast to me. I suppose since you are used to really fast broadband already. Maybe when your modem is connected to EDGE it is actually GPRS only. Because I have been using a 3Mbits per second connection at th ecybercafe for sometime and the time it takes for a page to load at the CC is roughly the same as EDGE unless the page has alot of pictures.

Previouly we use GPRS data card, then now we are using the 3.5G USB data card.

I think USB should not be called "data card" but USB HSDPA modem

heh.. i managed to hit 1gb by just looking at youtube in a few hours. 3gb where got enuff.

anyone paid the bill yet?

Lets do a protest and write to them. ask them to waive the installation charge. we are pioneer group, right? and we deserve something

I called maxis about the 3gb limit,
but the answer that they given is very confusing,
according to them.. streamyx also had such policy imposed in their term n conditions long time ago
and they also told me that after the 3gb limit, u might experience some slowness but not totally stop your access to the internet,
and actually this 3gb limit also imposed on the 3d unlimited package as well and the funny part was that they told me after 3gb, they will do some monitoring and give some advise to the user about their usage.
sound like full of craps... hehehe

can someone verify that ?

even their authorised sales people also dunno got such limitation until i bugged them to find out.

they called the maxis ah tau to ask, and he say they do not intend to implement this at the moment.

I think they wont do anything for now as they have big pipes and no user. later when full of user, then clamp down.

anybody paid your bills yet?
