If that's the case.. sorry for the incorrect info...
thanks mamat for the clarification

I refer to the maxis they say you need to be a postpaid user first wor?

Wow...can't even get a straight answer from Maxis. So, which is which? Can you sign up for the data only unlimited 3G package only, whatever they call this package nowadays? I don't need the voice feature, I just want to try out Maxis 3G offering

Just go straight to the maxis (better go to the KLCC) . If the package not change then you can have it. maxis always change their package hehehe ...
Fyi, my friend had registered the package last 2 months (on august if i'm not mistaken).

Anyone know if there is Maxis HSDPA coverage in Penang, in the Gelugor area, next to the Penang Bridge and next to USM?

recently i think my maxis 3G via n70 become slower. ike before i said, direct ftp download can around 50 - 55kb/s .. now if it fast, it become unstable... 50-55 few minutes, then drop drop drop.. then up up up.

hmm and i have problem getting into Windows Live Messenger, hard to login, always reconnection. So i end up using ebuddy with no problem at all. why eh?

Here's the strange thing folks.

On a whim and fancy to try out Maxis' offering, I signed up for their Internet2Go package a couple of days ago. Got it activated in less than an hour. It's a data only package, no voice, since I am already a DiGi customer.

The funny thing is, my datacard shows HSDPA signal, signal strength excellent at -61dBm as reported by my Sierra 3G Watcher software. I get IPs in the 58.71.x.x subnet, and am connected to the unet APN.

But my speed has not gone beyond UMTS. I've tested with my torrentflux FTP server, also with a rapidshare premium account with 10 simultaneous download connections for a single file. It has not gone past 49KB/s consistently. I can see it spiking for a second to 100KB/s and above, but it comes back down almost immediately.

I've tested with two separate datacards, and two separate notebooks.

Some people have claimed that Maxis customer service told them that Internet2Go is limited to UMTS, ie. 384kbps. But I've seen users in this forum reporting more than 2mbps on their speed tests. Is HSDPA only available to Maxis voice customers who sign up for Internet2Go?

What gives? Am I capped wrongly in the system? Anyone has a number for me to call to report this apart from having to dial a KL number from my DiGi phone? A bit expensive talking to them from Penang

Added on November 7, 2007, 9:43 amWell it appears that even though my connection is HSDPA in my connection manager, the base station wasn't able to support speeds exceeding UMTS. I've tested in KL, highest sustained download speed was 350KB/s from rapidshare.

Problem solved.

Hey guys, my dad just subscribed to maxis hsdpa line. It is said to have 3.6mbits but ive tested it directly to the comp its only 220kbps down, 34kbps up and an incredible lat up to 300ms
then I tried downloading with my Megaupload premium, the speed only reached 50kbps

Then i plugged it into my router(normal netgear router) and speedtest on my other comp, it was even worse!! only 100+ kbps down and 20kbps up with a lat of 500!!!
again, tried downloading with my MU premium, it gave me 20kbps
-___-

My dad got it cheap, he says want to test it out but seems like it isnt really working well... You know what i think? i think tmnut is sabotaging them so that every customer feels frustrated then have no choice but to go back to tmnut -____-
By the way, im located in Sunway and using the modem given by maxis, ZTE

Hi synco, saw your sig. U can achieve quite good speed with maxis broadband it seems. May i know which package are u using now? Thanks

do any Maxis 3G internet via phone/datacard experience slow down this few days? i think about 4 days already.

I can go to lowyat.net, but so hard to reply msg, PM msg, new post, all i get a pop up asking me to save the index.php.

som trouble website such as ebay, imageshack, others sometime ok, sometimes cannot.

why? how long do i have to wait? where should i complaint this matter? is there anyway can directly complaint to the people incharge? because i dont want to complaint to the maxis calls help centre.. i want directly to who handle the internet 3G section???

guys i juz subscribed to the unlimited data plan and i have been using my phone as modem

was wondering what are the standard download and upload speed for maxis 3g

coz im getting 7kb/s for download and 3kbs for upload

im using N91 as the modem is there any special settings to use 3g access point?

add in

ya btw would there be any significant differences if i were to use the dedicated usb modem and not using the phone as a modem?
