im not a heavy user..now im using 1mb package from streamyx...since i travel a lot so i decided to use my 3g phone ( 384kbps ) as my modem ( which is MAYBE maxis.. )..

in term of COST:

streamyx + fixed phone = rm99.00 + rm35 + prepaid ( rm100 ) per month = RM225

if i switch to maxis , im going to cut down my housephone line ( since im renting ) and streamyx..and take one of maxis package...

3g broadband (unlimited package RM 120 ) + rm75 ( package ) = +/- 200 and plus i can surf wherever i want..

so..i can save up to rm 25-30 or even more per month...

im not a heavy downloader and seldom use BT...just surfing and emails from clients almost everyday...

my question is...should i switch?what is ur opinion?

I guess they are comparing with Maxis' 3G service. For Celcom, all Streamyx users get to subscribe it for a monthly fee of RM88 though.

.thats the first thing come into my mind...even its rm88 but its not for existing user..its special for NEW CELCOM USER ( i mean subscribing new number..only for surfing and cannot receive calls ..just like stimix replacement ) only...ive asked celcom already bout this..

btw..ive just take the d99 package...ermm..for surfing its ok but my speed is 480kbps..isthis normal? i tot only 384...and how do we know its 3g or gprs? someone mention to me i can just look at the signal bar at my phone..

Same goes to Maxis where it is only for data usage. For voice calls + 3G the package is RM100+ but I can't remember exactly the price. 480kbps should be alright for now as you know it runs on TMNet's backbone so it tends to get congested too. What phone and model are you using ?

im using n70...im connecting thru my pc via usb...maybe thats the bottleneck instead of using bluetooth thingy...im used to stimix 1mb so this time kind a lag..hehe tongue.gif

The sign is a 3G word under the signal bar.

ijamz, in your network settings, ensure that the phone is in dual mode not just GSM mode.

Yeah.. i want to know also. What would happened after i reach 3Gb limit. Maxis said they will limit the bandwidth if the user exceed the 3Gb limit. But they really so efficient? Somemore for wired broadband, they put a very big UNLIMITED words as title.. how could they limit the 3Gb usage also.. tipu consumer lar!!

i think it easy for them since they can impose pay per use package which means cents over kb...absolutely they know but how they do it i dun know.. smile.gif ..

btw..loading a page is also much more like downloading i guess...so..whats the difference between downloading and browsing ? newbie here with this thingy..Just my thought.
