 They call this upgrading. I dont know whats going on with them. It seems that they dont a give a damn on their old customers. I use to get very good speeds and now this. Phew....I am going to call them and tell them that I'm just going to pay 10% of it. Cause i am getting 10% of the advertised speed |

Great , they are cheating old users. Nice job maxis. It seems that they love new users very much. Typical maxis trick (as I expected)...Keep up the good job. What excuse are you going to give
Oh THEY STILL DO NOT ADMIT THEIR FAULT. Their customer support staff does not even know what is going on. Oh god...Now I am starting to rant. Give me 700Kbps++ for local link and I'll keep quiet. Seriously , I am not asking 3.6Mbps..Just 700Kbps is enough for me (local link) |

Celcom has few other major disadvantages compared to Maxis and the best part is that they use this IP '219.93.152.3' <-- please go and check as it will be your IP wherever you go
http://www.google.com/search?q=219.93.152.3 On top of that , its been blocked by Project Honeymoon for its spamming. So In other words , One Malaysia (aka Whole of Celcom Broadband users are tied behind one single IP. If some idiot continues to abuse the service , the rest has to suffer). On the other hand , maxis assigns each unique individual IP for every customer (which has an advantage , compared to Celcom). There you go. You be the judge I rather suffer with slow speed (like I did with JARING) rather then to be tied up in One big mumbo jumbo Shared IP Connection. http://www.projecthoneypot.org/i_efaeb8253...f415d039a505043 No no no no , I am not Promoting Maxis nor I am pro-Maxis This post has been edited by prasys: Oct 2 2007, 09:48 PM |

But then you will face a problem. If your IP Address is blocked. You will have a problem such as certain MMORPG , Games and certain application that does not allow you to have more then 1 concurrent connections. But then if you are just using it for surfing , its not a problem. There is a problem there. I've just found out that Celcom has not really secured their proxy server and its currently blacklisted by few Spambots etc. So there is a problem there. I hope Celcom looks into that matter.

Thats great. Its because TM has a large backbone. Sadly , they still dont assign each individual address for Celcom Broadband users. Other then that , it seems to be a good alternative to maxis

The speed during the wee hours of morning is pretty fast. But then I don't use the Internet during the daytime as I've to attend college. So its pretty useless. During the nightime , when i really need it..bam it does not work

I have no comment at all. I am not sure why its that slow...Man I feel cheated now. Oh by the way , the latency is pretty good on the other hand...At least I managed to play DOTA...with minor lags. Its just that the speed sucks (even for local link now)

This is a joke. Stay away from Maxis (if possible). My friend came over (he is a maxis wireless user as well and he is using that tiny USB Modem {I call it handy}]. We compared our speeds. Hes speed is way better then mine ( He just registered yesterday) and I'm speechless. Seriously , I have no word. He might be coming to my place today or tomorrow and I am going to test out his modem on my PC. If I am getting around the same speed as his...Then I think I know that maxis is trying to 'dump' the old users. Its just a hypothesis guys..I could be wrong as well

Yeah but then its for few seconds. I don't even want 3.6Mbps. I am very happy if they cna provide me a stable and consistent 400-700Kbps local connection. I am happy. But this is insane...I am not looking for 4Mbps download. I just want a consistent download. I really enjoyed during the cooling off period but then it seems to be going down the hill

Hint : Use google !
Anway 3G - UMTS (aka old tech) - speeds up to 384Kbps only (both up and down) 3.5G - HSDPA (improved Old thing) that delivers a faster downlink rate. Supports up to 14.4Mbps HSDPA also provides a lower latency to the users as opposed to UMTS. There are many advantages of using HSDPA over UMTS. But both of them are in the same family. |

Dude let me tell you this
If you are into P2P..Just forget it. Just forget it. Its just nice for light surfing only and playing some cheap web-based MMORPG Games or running around in RO World. If you try to download during daytime , your download will be uber slow or it will say can't find tracker. It will just spit some random error message. Maxis' speed suck by the way. Just to let you know , you'll regret. Better test it first before saying yes. How fast you say. Its up to 3.6Mbps. Can you get 3.6Mbps. Thats a yes and a no question. the peak is at least ~2.8Mbps (cause you need to minus all the overheads and other factors). I think you can't get more then 2Mbps at this moment. So yeah , speed varies |

Calm down ?..LYN loads ages and my signal is good...What more do they want ?...Seriously , maxis come and fix it and PLEASE PUT in your site that YOU ARE FIXING. I love JARING for one thing , they put everything in advanced and their technical team are soo organised.
I am going to ditch this very soon...and who knows..try izzi for a change..Maybe not..Well...I'll wait and see Oh by the way your latency is also very poor. The latency should be ~100ms-200ms for HSDPA (for local links). Beyond that shows that your coverage zone is poor or Maxis is doing something. In this case , maxis is doing somethign or they can't able to cater enough users. |

Dude
Firstly , I dont suggest you to go with maxis. Read all the rants and raves about it. Unless you want a mobile broadband. If you are a heavy downloader , please stick to streamyx. Maxis is not for heavy p2pers. If you want torrent freedom without 3g cap then go for their Internet2Go package , that gives you an external IP with no p2p blocks (you don't get blocked) and you are assign a different IP Range |

I am thinking of downgrading as well....Not worth the upgrade now. You better wait till maxis admits their problem and improves their infrastructure
