The maxis fella called me and said will be comin on Thursday. buthen now ald Friday afternoon. no calls no sms no news.. they like to ffk eh? it's been late for more than 3 weeks to install the thingys d.

finally manage to get through them...i apply for 768 but they provide m only 384...haihs.....but i manage to get 300+ when i do bandtest......seems good...but i wanna test world of warcraft after they upgrade to 768

Anyone facing issues wif tis service? i can't connect to the web after sometime. when downloading...the speed just get lower and lower until 0.
Lucky i have my streamyx...haha

Btw...the sim card can be used in phone...which might mean unlimited data usage on phone. im gonna reconfirm it wif maxis.

hi guys. may i know how big is the modem? thx!

its humungous.....its one big fat @ss.....slightly wider than my 3 com all in one modem
almost 2x as fat...and the killer d!*k....2x as long as my modem's wifi antenna

guys. if u are facing slow browsing after awhile of using, it might be caused by overheating.

my modem become hot pan when on for few hours. then i reaslise its a stupid design of battery charger. the battery charger does not turn off even after complete charge. thats y so hot.

just disconnect the battery connector, and my problem solved.

ohh rly

im pretty sure the batt hit >60c when i check it today....so hot till i couldn't hold it.
had to hold by the wire. fear of some battery rupture might occur...i dump it in my freezer for 20mins.

Added on March 10, 2007, 12:30 amhmm...the modem appears very cool...without the batt charging in it.

Added on March 10, 2007, 12:38 amand the stupid prob which can be so bad until i can't connect to internet at all can be solved by unpluging the antenna and back in.

Hi hi.. I just got my maxis broadband. And first impression is.. when I used it on my car park its damn fast.. as I didnt let the guy come into my house as it Nodame Style. lol.. Too messy I mean.. But when I assemble it on my room. OMG. I got only 5 kpbs... And outside I can get up to 40kpbs.. Sob..

Even TMnut I can get 100kpbs lately for BT excluding surfing the net and msn chatting. Sob... Hope things improve.. Will bring it to lotsa place to check it out. Hehe . Now to try online in the car while going to work. Wireless internet just that the modem is damn bulky. Haha

u shud be grateful that u have tmnut as ur backup line.

Refer to my post #546

Added on March 10, 2007, 4:30 pmI have disconnected the battery since day 1

why?

No. 1 Hot
No. 2 The battery is damn heavy. Makes mobility impractical.
No 3. Battery life span too short
No. 4 Makes it very difficult to restart/reset modem. Now I just off the switch from the plug rather to on and off using the modem switch which looks fragile.

If mobility is so important, perhaps a datacard is much better compared to using the HSDPA modem provided by Maxsucks. That is, if they don't SIM lock the SIM to the fugly looking modem only.

i applied for the 768kps but unfortunately my area highest speed is 384 kbps only.

so far i am very satisfied with maxis broadband after updating my router firmware which always keeps me disconnected when it is idle.

in bittorent i may get up to 30++ kbps and an average of dl: 16 kps.

about the 3gb limit, i think it's untrue. These two days i 've downloaded more than 5 episodes of naruto anime.

no complaint except the heat-up of the battery in the modem. pls removed it if its not in use which is located at the bottom of the modem.

@wufei

u shud put something for the comparison of the modem....imho its huge or very bulky design. don't u think so?

Now trying the modem against the window pane. maybe its due to the high inteference from my pc. CRT monitor, 2 pcs stacked together, speaker, wifi modem and pc PSU. I've been getting very slow 56k like speeds.

not all of us are so RICH to buy a DATACARD..even a 2nd hand one cost RM350 here in garage sales...

anyone can explain why my torrent download is higher than direct download? its wierd to me, never in my life... and my port hasnt been forwarded properly cos i dunno how..now using port 57000..

comparison of download:
sid meier's railroads! using utorrent: 30kbps++
bleach ep117 from bleachexile using download manager: 18~25kbps

220X149X39mm

mine's okay...UMTS since last nite.

btw, u resetted ur modem?

Resetted many times.

UMTS is the most stable....

HSDPA everytime reset/dc

EDGE - too slow, not my cup of tea

I think i found the cause of my slow speed. shud be the signal interference as a place it on my cpu. now i move to it to my window sill. the speeds usually 300+ k.

i know how u feel..cos now im in HSDPA mode, jz back to hostel...dam torrent so slow.....not even 5kbps..at my home can reach 30kbps UMTS mode

btw, anyone can access yahoo mail?

juz want to ask did anyone of u had the modem battery last more than 1 hour, my one i think is "kong" already becoz when i try to battery mode the modem can onli hold 2-3 minute then turn off and can i claim warranty for this ???
