celcom new package:
RM999 for 6 months 3g, inclusive 3gcard. further subscription is rm99 per month

so say the card is worth rm600, so works out to be
rm66 per month for the 3G.

fine print: only for existing stimyx user only. sommore the stimyx must be unlimited ones (rm66 and above)

hannaboy, when u say p2p is not good, how bad is that? whats ur download speed?

what abt digi's? any cap on p2p? I tried the speed is around 100kbps indoors at subang parade.
Please do not double post in future - hardyboyz888

the 3g modem from maxis is zte mf600 HSPDA terminal with a battery. there is a ON/OFF/Standby switch at the back of modem.
you not able to find this modem information on the internet. this modem required a 3g sim card from maxis to enable it to working.

this modem interface with pc thru rj45 interface using cross cable (supplied). this only allow 1 pc to surf internet at a time but you may share your internet connectivity thru software that come with the windows xp.
otherwise you can buy a router to connect to the modem. this will required a straight cable instate if cross cable.

i use a linksys wrt54gs connect to zte mf600 using straight cable connect the rj45 from the modem and broadband input on the wrt54gs. the modem not required any configuration at all cause it already pre-configured or the 3g sim card already have the setting (i not sure about this). the modem will provide a ip address to your router. on the wrt54gs, just set your wireless setting and select dhcp ip from ISP.

this modem is working in 3.5g, 3g and also edge. you can check your signal or mode the current modem receive by go to the web based modem configuration by enter 192.168.0.1 to your web browser. there is also the 3g setting/internet setting page where you can modified.

the speed is rated at 300 - 330kbps at my area (kepong) and downlaod speed is stable at 40-45kbps using download manager. the upload speed is suck! if not mistake is 64kbps only.

you can use the sim card on your 3g phone but it lock for HSPDA. so you may not able to make a call on certain model of phone (i can call using se t68i but not se k800i). however, you can use dail to 3g/wap thru bluetooth. tested on nokia n70. so you may able to conect to internet using your 3g phone instate of the bulky modem. however you can receive call. the number is maxis 017.

there is a package for you to use the modem as you home phone also but have to pay certain amount of fee.... however, i not subcribe to the phone service but i can make call and receive call! i dont know how they charge me..... or give me a free phone.......
remember read the terms and condition when you apply for the service........
good luck.

u can use it any where if you want. my area got 3G signal ... then i can get @ 3xxkbps.
if your area no 3G... then the speed should be 1xxkbps (edge)

my friend use it at kota bharu connected to edge.... since there is no 3g signal

the modem support

HSPDA, 3.5G, 3G, Edge and GPRS

the other one that u mentioned. i have checked with them, also RM99 per month

So the pure 3g service also got 3GB cap limit?
Yesterday i went to lowyat asked they said iz RM126 per month
Plan to subscribe it next month... (maybe )

will they allow us to subscribe maxis broadband if our area did not have 3G coverage?

i now trying to find a edge router or at least edge modem that can be plugged into a router...so no need to turn on my computer 24h per day in order to share the connection with other pc...

maxis 3g got the modem, so i just plug it into a router and then to the switch and can share the connection with other pc in my house...

so, if i can find the modem, sure i'll stick with digi edge as i can get full bar for their coverage...

now i'm a digi edge subscriber and the line is stable

what i mean now, i trying to decide wheter to take maxis 3g broadband cause the modem supplied by them can be connected to router and i can share the connection using a router...

right now, using digi edge i need to plug the card into my pc and the use Internet Connection Sharing to share my internet connection.., so i was thinking maybe a modem or router that can be used with digi edge available out there in malaysia so i can share my internet connection without need to turn on my pc...

i think that modem is locked to maxis only...

so, i trying to find other modem...that have same functionality as maxis 3g modem - have RJ45 port that can connect to a router and not USB or PCMCIA card

if i can't find that kind of modem, maybe i'll consider to take maxis 3g broadband..

EDGE supplementary RM 33 only

maxis has wider coverage than digi but not all of the maxis coverage are 3G network...

it depends where you're now.. if you area got maxis and digi coverage, and maxis 3G network not available there, just get digi - it's more cheaper

in case maxis did not have 3G coverage at certain place, usually they have EDGE coverage there...but using digi edge still cheaper because you still need to pay rm120 if you use maxis even there are no 3G coverage at that place

My maxis installer did that. HE came can plug in the cable and sim card then test for yahoo then go off. lol
All in less then 10 min.
Talk about express install. lol

alright , may i know is it compulsory to subscribe voice package?

not worth it if compulsory have to pay RM15 for the 017 phone line. The whole purpose of getting wireless is that we can disconnect our Telekom house phone and save RM25 line rental per month.

The 3 GB limit is worrying. Now, they say its not an issue but eventually, they reserve the right to penalise.

do you mean that the RM15 is compulsory? they should not make it compulsory...

yes it is compulsary. But why would one want a another 017 landline which charges 30 sen peak and 15 sen non peak to handphones and 03 landlines when nearly everybody got handphones?

I rather keep my Telekom line which charges 4 sen to 03-xxxxxxxx numbers.

they just want to add more profit... means after 6 month..., it is rm50 + rm18 + rm15..

so, basically, the broadband cost for rm83... almost same as streamyx 1mb..

Not only RM83, but you only get 384k speed.

At least, Streamyx (RM66 + RM25 Telekom Line Rental) = RM91 but you get 512k and also no 3 GB limit like Maxis.

Also, got proper phone line that you can fix your fax machine to.

Eventually, Maxis also will bar p2p. So, what for want to pay RM100 + RM80 connection fee?

thanks for quick reply ..and i dont think i have an option here since digi is connection is quite slow and celcom 3gcard is quite expansive

i just signed up digi! still waiting for activation.
if the edge is up to my standard i will keep it
then the supplementary is up for adoption

Supposingly no. The sim card they provide you is for data service only.
