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.

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.

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?

actually, to those whose area got no Streamyx, Maxis Broadband is still the best and most economical package, provided he is not a hardcore p2p downloader.

Other wireless broadband packages cost a bomb. Jaring's equipment is RM499 and service is RM79 per month.

With Digi and Celcom, you need to buy 3G or Edge Card which cost RM888 (3G) and RM599 (Edge) and service is RM99 per month.

One should only go for only Digi, Jaring, Celcom, Maxis or Streamyx. All other wireless companies are not that famous/prominent, there is always the risk of it going bankrupt and your startup investment buying their wireless modem going down the drain.

So Maxis is still the best bet for wireless service

yeah, you are right. Just like Streamyx 5 years ago. It was super fast. Now, like snail.

Anybody got penalty or fined for exceeding 3GB?

Also, I want to sign up and I heard some roadshows in malls absorb your connection fee ie the RM100 fee. Anybody know which agent does this?

can anyone confirm what happens after the 3 gig limit is reached. Is it true some say got penalty and fine ie like RM1000 over ringgit?

Anybody knows who or what email address I can write in to Maxis requesting more than 3GB ?
