I'm at Seapark PJ and sometimes use it at my hometown Port Dickson.

both place able to get 3G coverage?

Yes, HSDPA and HSPA in fact.

lol, sunway will soon declare as *remote down town* due to coverage problem lol thanks

btw, can i know wat plan u are taking?

Err.. This thread is only for Maxis 3G Internet, I'm using this plan.
Not Maxis Wireless Broadband.
It should share the same coverage and signal as Maxis WBB, but the only difference is it has no cap and no limit on the download.

lol, my apology

try Umobile if you are in Sunway, it will be upgraded to 42MBps this 15th April, however u hav to purchase the special modem, else u will be surfing maximum at 7.2MBps, which maxis ( i am using too ) is providing currently

only limited area got 42Mbps which is dual carrier HSPA+
http://www.u.com.my/faqs/42mbps-mobile-broadband-service

hopefully if Maxis upgrade to HSPA+ network, existing unlimited plan will remain

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+

Maxis was focusing on its FTTH and gonna upgrade to LTE soon.

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.

Broadband is still one of Maxis' most important businesses, so not to worry.

Err.. Because I'm interested in wireless broadband and the nature of my work and company industry, I can't be not be alert with the updates.

tested on my ipad via a MiFi, take note of the upload speed, good for uploaders

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?

better buy this

Dual Carrier HSPA+

@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.

i strongly believe Maxis will challenge the local broadband market with the Single Channel HSPA first, ie the 21Mbps , infact we are surfing the HSPA framework now, if we hav the E372, i guess it will surpassed the 7.2Mbps barrier currently.

i am thinking of getting the E372 to test Maxis via MDMA to chk our profile.

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

Is it just me, or is Maxis so freakingly slowwwwwww right now? Pages barely load!

mine is slow today too



maybe due to the Sarawak election
