i'm using a t-mobile hsdpa card for my hotlink.
surfing maxis 3g (got hsdpa connection)
the speed was totally mind blowing! shocking.gif
from the log in the control panel, it stated max speed : around 450kb/sec (not 450kbps!)shocking.gif shocking.gif
that translates to 450 x 8 = 3840kbps!
i almost drop my jaw to the basement laugh.gif tongue.gif

i believe there are error in the reading coz the card support up to 1.8mbps only.
either way, the speed was really fast.
much faster than my screamyx.

as i'm using prepaid, i watch the data count goes up so fast & reaches 4mb in no time & i pull the card from my lappie.
check my balance already minus RM40! cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

btw, i'm selling the card.
check my sig tongue.gif tongue.gif

Two quick questions - for those who are using the Maxis 3G unlimited at RM120:

(a) is the IP address assigned fixed or dynamic?

(b) when you sign up for the unlimited package, it is automatically assumed to be the HSDPA capable, correct?  So if the customer only has a normal 3G data card, it's the customer's loss, yes?

Thanks!

(a) dunno for sure. but best guess is dynamic. static ip would cost more.

(b) also not sure. but from my usage on my hotlink sim, when got HSDPA connection, it will show up in the program & download speed goes up through the roof laugh.gif

reason they would provide hsdpa at no additional cost : they still got 3gb limit

I must have dynamic.  If static, no point going for it.  I do lots of direct HTTP downloads, not BT, so I should be able to enjoy loads of downloads at max speed, but I must have dynamic IP!

Also, I thought the 3Gb monthly download data limit only applied to their residential wireless broadband which you need a modem to use, and not to their unlimited data package?  I am confused  rclxub.gif  Can someone confirm please?

Cheers.

i hope what u said bout the 3gb limit is correct.
if so, i'm gonna register immediately!
cant wait to surf at 450kb/s again (and bt also)! drool.gif

clause 5.3.1 is from here:
http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/hsdpa/wireless_packages.asp
check under maxis broadband fair usage policy.

i also just realized this.
the 3gb limit may apply only to maxis broadband users & NOT to the unlimited 3g (rm120)
i hope the "unlimited" they use is really unlimited

MAXIS BROADBAND FAIR USAGE POLICY 
     
1. Introduction

the Maxis Broadband t&c does not include Maxis 3G Unlimited package.
i cant find any of the limitation in the General t&c

can anyone pls confirm this..
if really unlimited, i'm gonna register asap.
my torrent REALLY REALLY slow now (after the earthquake issue)

I've been told that with Maxis 3G, you get assigned an internal IP address, not publicly accessible, ie. you are behind a Maxis firewall or "NAT".  If this is true, it would be almost impossible to do any port forwarding that P2P apps require.  I've been told that HTTP surfing is blazing fast though, and so is direct HTTP/FTP downloads.

Since you don't need to sign up with a minimum contract (I understand if you just buy the USIM from them, there is no minimum contract, whereas if you get the Vodafone HSDPA data card from them, there is a 1 year minimum contract period, and the damn data card is also SIM-locked), just try it out for a month, and if dissatisfied, cancel the service after a month!

Please do keep us updated!

oh.. sad.gif
maybe i'll try for 1 month.
postpaid which is rm30/month access fee also can test for 1 month rite? no long contract?

one of my buyer who bought the t-mobile hsdpa card told me that he get 550kb/s speed!!
& said torrent 250mb took only 30min = 139kb/s
certainly faster than streamyx.

so that means can use torrent on 3g unlimited package.

usually the contract is 1 year
so you're going to put in desktop?
maybe we should open a celcom thread and talk about it

i dont have a desktop.
will put in my notebook.

so let say, it turns bad.
bad perfomance, cant torrent etc (i hope not sweat.gif )
if i dont want to continue the subscription, consider my deposit burn la rite?
nothing else?

i just want to torrent.
i'm pretty confident celcom 3g can as my customer reported (& quite fast too drool.gif )
if cant torrent, rm120/month is not worth it for me.
