Well, RM44 for a mobile 256kbps broadband is kinda reasonable and affordable. However on the other hand, 3GB bandwidth for a month seems quite insufficient if someone intend to use p2p. If they limit p2p usage and we will use it mainly for surfing the internet, 3GB is should be enough. I will consider to change to this maxis broadband if streamyx does anything funny, any at all. biggrin.gif

They said that they will auto-disconnect you if you have been inactive for 20 minutes or 30 minutes. If I'm downloading a file from the Internet and it takes more than these periods, will I be disconnected?

Do you call it inactive when downloading? I will pluck their head off if they claim it to be that way. laugh.gif

If my calculation is correct, his EDGE connection will be about 108kbps to download 35GB in a month. Kinda possible.

I'm planning to jump into the wireless broadband too due to the lack of internet access at our school's hostel area.. but I'm still in the process of selecting a provider since they're all like having bones in their closet.. doh.gif

Bout the Maxis 3GB policy, I think it's like when you need more bandwidth, according to the policy, you should write in and explain why..

This 3GB policy really sucks.. I can download more than 500mb of data in approx 3 hours using screamyx sometimes and with the 3GB limit, I should be finishing my bandwidth within 18 hours.. doh.gif

They do not expect users to download lots of stuff through 3G. Moreover, p2p does not seem favourable in Maxis 3G. How many GB of data can you download just through http?

Maxis should not had put up the phase "Unlimited internet access". with the 3 Gib  download limitation , It is obviously a limited access.Just wondering can  Maxis being sued for misleading consumer ?  Been sick of all this shits..
Is there an association in malaysia which takes care of  internet users  rights in this country ?? Can we have one ???
*
It is unlimited in the sense of duration. No, you cannot sue them. It is stated clearly in the T&C. You can always read the T&C before subscribing and therefore it is not counted as misleading. We do have consumer's association in Malaysia.

Indeed, I do not see any "unlimited" word anywhere in their official site. And there is a section where they stated about their fair usage policy.

DUration ? If the limited is reached within 3 days use of internet and the line is cutted off, its  still can called unlimted access ? That is called 3 days  unlimited internet access .
*
So, think of it the other way round. If you do NOT exceed the 3GB limitation which they have already stated, don't you get the unlimited duration?

In your case, you are breaching one of the T&C and thus it is reasonable and appropriate to stop you from using the service.

70 euro per month is really kinda expensive especially if someone is a student studying over there. What is the speed they offer there?

xinhui81,
how about golightspeed? I think it is available in your area. But from what I have heard from my friends, it is quite slow(384kbps) and you cannot use p2p at all. The price is about RM60.

Golightspeed also available at puchong? my fren at Shah Alam using it now. p2p is allowable.. just the speed is slow. But not sure it has another limitation of 3Gb or not..  unsure.gif
*
Is it? Both my friends in puchong got 0kBps for p2p downloads. Probably they did not optimise their settings as they are no computer geeks. Thank god streamyx came into my part of puchong after a month I applied for it. Oh ya, golightspeed is in the form of wireless broadband too.

About the limitation:

Special features with Go Lightspeed Broadband service include easy set-up, easy to connect, always-on broadband connection with unlimited time online and no download limits.

That's pretty cool huh? biggrin.gif

I ain't sure about Nokia phones, the manual book should have stated what is the sign when there is 3G signal. Another way is determining the speed where 400+kbps should be 3G already as EDGE can achive that speed.
Sad to hear that. Perhaps finding another provider would be the last solution.
*
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.

10x20cm! Is that really portable? Imagine having to hold that big thing when you go out with your laptop. I think PCMCIA or phones with 3G feature is more portable. Just my 2 cents. smile.gif

You can buy EDGE data card. It's faster than phones, usually. EDGE is just slightly slower than 3G. Nothing very different actually. smile.gif

The word Blueserver is a banned word in LYN to discourage discussion about it. 384kbps should be sufficient for your games. It is usually the latency that matters, not the speed.

You can claim it back from maxis, after paying it, if I remember it correctly.
