Huh? For me, the speedtest results reflects the speed of browsing...Took so much time to load...
The first day when it was newly installed with the maxis guy, the speed looks good...But after observing it for the next few days, it was totally unreliable...Could you imagine it will take more than 2 mins juz to login to yahoo mail.....

I think P2P port was blocked by maxis wbb and onli will be open during night time 1-6am..

Well, I don't really get what you mean by modem / usb..or mayb that's diff set of tool/data card to connnect to the wireless broadband..
Referring to the 1 i had, Maxish ad provided a ZTE modem and it is directly connecting to ur network card via cross UTP cable.
And the performance and reliability is totally un-acceptable.
If you just prefer light surfing, reading articles, mails occasionally, then it should be ok.

But if you are expecting to do P2P or even direct downloads from tools like Megaupload/Rapidshare, you can just forget it.
When the P2P port is blocked; which means it is denying all the traffic flowing through the port. Therefore, you can still turn on your bit torrent application but nothing will flow through and data will not transmit (might as well u juz turn off the application which at least helps you to save some processing memory )

Also, not everytime the connection willbe connected with HSDPA. And even it does, sometimes it will still take so much time to load a page even though there's no other bandwidth untilization/download progress on-going.

Enough said..will return them the modem+phone to cancel the service.
Luckily it was still under 7 days of trial..Will opt for wired adsl connection.

LOL, i get what you mean by the USB device which serves exactly the same as the ZTE modem besides that it is smaller in size and portable?
Anyway, you could still carry ur ZTE modem together with ur lappie on outdoor occasion; just that it is not so convenient

However, transmitting data via usb cable will be slower compared to UTP cable if i dun understand wrongly.
UTP cable carries analogue signal and it could merely have loss of signals unless the cable/network card is faulty compared to usb cable that carries electric signals..

Added on October 7, 2007, 5:25 pmI am staying in pusat bandar puchong...Just started to use the wireles broadband since last thursday.
As I am just to try out the service before becoming the scapegoat with their 18 minimum months of subscription, I did not bother to call up to complaint/log report over the slow network connection. Didn't realize if there was any maintenance on-going to upgrade the performance of their network. As for me, I would not believe in such statements/promises/excuse from the ISP to say that just to keep their customers to continue subscribing. Mayb I had encountered this with Streamyx before where they told the same but nothing was succeeded in the end.

Honestly, the streamyx's performance in my old hse is much much more better as compared maxis wireless broadband.
I understand wireless connection would definitely has its limitation and can't expect it to be working as good with wired connection; but those maxis agents juzkeep boasting/blowing water that their wireless broadband is much more faster and reliable compared to streamyx.
And therefore, no point complaining any further...Juz opt for wired connectiong if possible.

And also the availability of the services are based on 'luck'. Sometimes it could load with an accepted speed but there are times that browsing is almost near to impossible.

Cool down friend....hopefully they are really in the midst of upgrading their service.
I am facing exactly the same problem a few days back when i started to subscribe their service.
