Maxis WBB is fast...

But its inconsistent and not stable..

It gets disconnected itself... and have to reconnect itself..

So its pretty annoying...

Since speed for me is not the concern.. its frustrating to get stuck when you're doing your work on and off..

i second that
EDGE is a bit overpriced
if it's 77, maybe it's considerable
but at the price of 99, it's way too overpriced
sometimes, i feel that i'm going back to dial up connection
grr

I agree. 99/month is way too expensive. 60/month will be a more reasonable price.

Plus, Diginet gives you internal ip address 10.32.x.x which sucks.

what IP do maxis 3G users get?

Hi, I am ditching maxis broadband wireless and opting for powertools. What kind of download speeds are you getting on the 3G and 3GX if u dont mind my asking?

So far the Maxis 3G users I see were using 58.71.x.x IP.

If I am not mistaken, the nature of 3G is such that you will not be assigned an external or public IP number. I am always on 10.x.x.x on Celcom3G, which is an IP range reserved for internal use only (IIRC), so I am always behind a router/firewall and do not have a ping-able public IP. This makes port forwarding very difficult, if not next to impossible.

Is the 58.x.x.x range used by Maxis also reserved for internal use only?

wonder when using data card, u slot yr sim card into it. then how abt yr phone? how u receive call during tht time? or maxis can give u 2 sim cards?

If I remember correctly, for the data card Maxis will give you a sim card which is for data only. Meaning you can't use it for calls or sms.

SMS is enabled on my Celcom3G. I don't know about Maxis. SMS charges are extra. I've tested sending from my DiGi handphone to the Celcom3G data SIM, and it works. I haven't sent out any yet though, no reason to.

If you want itemised billing for sent SMS, it costs an additional RM3 on top of your unlimited package price of RM120. Add 5% service tax on top of that, and it can come to quite a hefty bill

just a quick question, maxis 3G thru hp as modem.. the ip is 58.xx.xx.xx right.. cos i got that too.. but my torrent will be like having this blind port, can it be open? cos i wont get full out of torrent aight....

The connection at my place in Puchong is not so stable on UMTS. Sometimes it will break and i need to reconnect again....haih

exactly
they requires you to register for a line, purposely for this one
you can't sub a line out from your maxis postpaid to use this
and the number they'll be giving you is 017

err i dunno whether this is the correct thread to ask, but i dont see where else, i'm new to 3g, how to do a port forward using 3g?? i'm using vodafone card and utorrent..

just a stupid question...

if im using my 3g phone as a modem, what's the maximum speed i should get??

im using maxis 3G unlimited package..

I just filling form to subscribe Maxis 3G Broadband last week.
They said that they will come to my home installing modem aftet chinees new year.. 384Kps one.. wonder how much it will perform..

this is NOT wbb hread

i'm not sure about the upload/download speed
right now, i'm still stucked at getting 3g to work on my computer

actually, it depends on your area
if your area is covered by hsdpa, then you'll get truely high speed

hi guys,

im new to this mobile internet connection (EDGE/3g and what-so-ever). i wish to connect my notebook to the internet on the go.

so, from my understanding, is this Maxis 3G data card can connect my notebook to the internet. but is it require me a 3G phone? or just straight connect?

let say i buy this 3G data card not from maxis (from garage forum or else) then how do i subscribe to this service? go to maxis and said i want this service and tell them i already have my own data card?

sorry for such noob question, i cant find it anywhere

this datacard is connected to your notebook via PCMCIA slot
it doesn't need a phone or anything because it's a datacard (PCMCIA card)!

just go to maxis, and register for a sim card, specially and solely used for 3g

In my housing area here, my brother owns a 3g phone and he says that the signal of 3g is not good here (he says sometime he canot do video call)

if that so, will getting a pc datacard and use for my notebook good or i have to wait for maxis to enlarge thier coverage area first?

i'm in penang mainland and we only have streamyx... and i hate streamyx zzz we dont have other choice but only streamyx

i'm looking forward for a 3g and now choosing either celcom/maxis depends on the coverage area (Whichever more suitable for me)

from what someone said here , the HS3g only for company/business package?
