Anyone here already enjoying Maxis HSPA+ service already?
http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/hsbb/mobile.asp

Anyone noticed that the Maxis connection and speed is more stable now?

At least at my area, especially at night, the speed now is at least 2mbps compared to 1 month ago where it is usually 300kbps only.

I think there are only 2 possibilities :
1) More people is moving away from Maxis and start using YES?
2) Maxis has upgraded their network to handle the high demand?

Anyway, I have no complaint over it

Well, I did complained once, the technical group came back and said "No problem with the network" and case closed.
Didn't bother to file any more complaint, though I am happy that the congestion issue is settled.

Just to share the speed I get from Maxis 3G, which I never thought I would able to achieve at night.


The speed I got last time...terrible

How to know whether it is HSPA+ or just HSPA?

Will E1762 support or need other modem?

Is HSD+UPA (From MDMA) = HSPA+??

What would MDMA show if it is HSPA, what about HSPA+?

If that is the case, we won't able to recognize whether it is
HSPA or HSPA+.

The HSPA+ that maxis going to offer will have speed of 10Mbps....

So, I am quite skeptical that we have HSPA+ already.

Problem is E1762 support until 7.2mbps download only.

Maxis network in Kulim High Tech Park has been upgraded.

Last time it was HSDPA only, now is HSPA, but not sure is HSPA only or HSPA+.

I realized that the signal strength at my area has improved significantly.

Last time it was -89dBm (~42% signal strength), this week it improved to -71%dBm (~95% signal strength). I believed Maxis has upgraded their tower somehow.

But...the congestion at night comes back AGAIN, and no longer good for surfing anymore, have to switch to streamyx at night.

Anyone knows what happened to Maxis plan to upgrade to HSPA+?
Seems that it is extremely quiet since Maxis announced their plan to upgrade back in 2009.

Are they giving up on the plan? Because nowadays can't even find the webpage anymore about their 21Mbps HSPA+

That's great, because if Maxis is not moving, they will loose out in the
coming Broadband war.

@fruitie, I am quite amazed on how you are always on top of this
info.

Hi all Sifus, I am changing my USB E1762, so am thinking to go for 21Mbps Huawei UMG1831, or Sierra 306/308.

Those usb modem support up to 21Mbps HSPA+, do you think I am over kill by buying those modem for Maxis 3G usage?

@digilife,


Thanks for the info, but the modem you suggest is not easily available in the market. So far I see no seller selling in LYN.
And since that no one use it, I am not sure whether Maxis multi sim is compatible or not.

Do let us know your test results when you have it.

I am using a Huawei 21Mbps UMG1831 now with Maxis 3G.

Guess I was wrong about my last night comment, the modem does help if there is no congestion.

My latest speedtest result in the morning.

I found it here : http://www.mudah.my/21Mbps+Huawei+UMG1831+...dem-9231052.htm

Basically I have done all the testing at his shop before buying it.

switch to HSPDA - HSPA - HSPA+ frequently.

Comparing to my Huawei E1762 which I can only get maximum speed of 3Mbps at my place
during the morning, this new modem has justified its existence by giving me 5Mbps. Worth it!!

Modem given by Maxis also Huawei brand.
The only different with the one I am using is it support
the speed up to 21Mbps.

From the dashboard it shows HSPA+.
The MDMA profile is the same as the one you posted on umobile discussion. Download QOS is set at 8640kbps and 2048 for upload QOS

Yes, it should but somehow the profile or setting for HSPA is limiting the top speed. And it depends on location too.
