They don't block P2P, Bit Torrent. And its quite fast to game servers. Personal Experience here

use maxis 3G rm120 for few months already, they dont block PSP, torrent or anything.. playing gunbound with no problem at all.. but yet, my http/ftp speed can only go up too 55kbps only

Are you using 3G or HSDPA?

Are you bound to a minimum subscription period with Maxis 3G unlimited?

The package that he is using is the 3G and also unlimited usage.

What I meant was, was he on 3G only when he achieved the speeds he mentioned, or was he on HSDPA? As far as I understand, when you sign up for Maxis 3G unlimited package, you are automatically HSDPA "enabled" if your data card or phone supports it. elfreakz may be using a 3G only card and not an HSDPA one, hence his "lower" speed.

And I further asked about whether there is a minimum contract period when you sign up for Maxis 3G

im using handphone as modem .. and the handphone is 3G only, i guess handphone nokia n70 only up to 55kbps eh....

To achieve that speed with a handphone acting as a modem is already amazing.

How true. Just short of miraculous!

Like I suspected, he is using a 3G enabled handphone only. Maxis HSDPA should give you much higher speeds than he is experiencing, based on the feedback I've read.

Yes. HSDPA gives much higher speed. I'm using celcom 3g with HSDPA card and the download speed so far is excellent.

Are you on the PowerTools plan? As far as I know, individuals cannot sign up for HSDPA, only SME/corporate accounts.

It belongs to my company.

Lucky you! I wish I had the same luck!

i lost interest in mobile broadband
digi edge is not really satisfying anyway
i'm afraid that my phone will gone case one day because keep charging and give pressure to it
pity my phone

data card is more reliable i guess

wah, the data card is really expensive
RM1.2k man

i got 1 from www.lelong.com.my for <700ringgit
supports hsdpa/edge/gprs
oklah not bad

last time i use digi rm99... but change too maxis 3g rm120... different RM21, u can get so much speed from maxis 3G... digi is too slow for me, i feel like using dial up...

I do agree on this. Digi's EDGE service should actually consider lowering their price as it is certainly not competitive with 3G service's pricing at the moment.
