name me the ISP that does not block or throttle P2P.

It's a trend everywhere in the world now.

There is no need for harsh language.

That's true.I notice digi EDGE depends a lot of numbers of user in the area. If there are too many voice users in the area, you will be throttled to 56kpbs. the 200kbps (via handphone) could only be achieved 50% of the time in my experience, that also during midnight and early morning.

The latency sucks too. 500-600ms for the first loop. I have no experience with 3G, and would like to try it out. I heard 3G latency is around 300ms and their 384kbps speed is more consistent than EDGE.

Other than that digi edge is still a reliable backup internet service just in case streamyx died.

I will definitely subscribe to maxis 3G broadband package if it is available in my area. I am sharing streamyx with my housemate which is always down (20%) of the time. So, I think i could afford another broadband. But not sure when maxis will role out their 3G to labuan.

then i have to rely back on Digi. I heard the entire Labuan will be EDGE ready by next month.

celcom has 3G but it's only limited to the financial park area.

I think 3Gig is a little bit too little. Fair value would be around 6 GIG.

do you get the internal ip address or external ip address?

did you forget to tell him that the laptop is a very rudimentary one.

So has anyone tried out this Maxis 3G home broadband thing? I wonder what happens if we bring the modem to area OUtside 3G/EDGE coverage, will it autoroam to gprs instead??

how about if i subcribe the service in Klang Valley, and say i bring the modem to kuching..... do you think the modem will work there?

can someone confirm this or not?

RM58 per month is not a bad idea for 56kbps , cheaper than digi EDGE which costs RM99

58 is without modem package (299 upfront payment for modem). with modem, rental +10 per month.

can someone ask maxis whether this is possible, to bring the modem out of 3g area to gprs area?

is it fast??
how's the ping to local servers like?

ayo yo.. I think there is a minimum contract of 1 year.

stay with streamyx. maxis startup cost is not cheap. since you already sign up for streamyx and pay them the initial startup fees, it will actually cost you more to switch to maxis.

it really depends on area. Some areas are very congested with frequent disconnection.

i tried DIgi EDGE, i would say it was very good.

better still sign up for 1 year contract, RM999 for data card AND 6 months subscription free.

Keep us posted on your experience on maxis 3G broadband. will like to hear your views.

I want to ask... if you bring the modem to say.. Sabah/sarawak.. will the modem still work??

AFAIK, 3G latency is around 300-350ms for the first loop.

AFAIK = as far as i know

maxis requires you to sign up for 18 months! dont play play

You dont need a 3G or Edge card to enjoy the telco GPRS/EDGE/3G service. A decent handphone will do.

I find digi EDGE very good too. It has no monthly limit.

I agree with you that only big telcos facilities are reliable namely celcom,digi,maxis, jaring and streamyx. the rest...
