QUOTE(he-sham @ Mar 14 2009, 03:53 AM)
1) What's the difference of this Maxis broadband service with the infamous Maxis Wireless Broadband?
the package is called maxis 3g or mobile internet.... previously known as Internet2go.... no modem or any other device given....customer usually use their phone or usb modem to the data package....
while Maxis wireless broadband is a broadband service which maxis will provide the modem...


2) It seems this has no fair usage policy while Maxis WBB has 3GB limit?
according to this pricing package from maxis website, it should be no fair policy since in the column of package, it been categorize by data usage namely pay per use, 1MB, 5MB and unlimited.... so that, the "unlimited" package should mean unlimited usage of data instead of "unlimited" online time which been offered by maxis wireless broadband and celcom broadband...

3) I'm not sure if my area is covered with Maxis 3G, can I check using Hotlink before registering for postpaid?
of course u can......but remember, although celcom has better 3g coverage but when there's no 3g it will fall to GPRS...while maxis, if there's no 3g coverage, most likely will fall to EDGE speed....

4) Bound to any contract?
nope....no contract at all....just go to maxis centre...tell them u want to register for unlimited 3g data service...they'll require deposit of rm100.....

5) Packages that available? I have my own unlocked HSDPA modem, possible to get any package that allows me to not to opt for any modem?
refer to answer no 2.... i think as long as unlocked, definately can la...
Me also was a celcom bb user (d68).... now jumpship to maxis 3g.... very satisfy...more stable....even though i pay rm36 more than celcom bb d68 package, at least i get "unlimited" usage of data instead of useless & unstable celcom d68 "unlimited" online time.....

same here, use to be celcom D99 user for almost 1 year, but get screwed with FUP and i change to maxis, my average download for 1 day is around 1GB to 4GB (not using for P2P)

I'm happy with my speed compare to Celcom broadband last time which the speed is will be capped once 5GB. Too bad the connection is not always speed, sometimes you get 1mbps, sometimes 2mbps and sometimes it take ages to connect. so i will normally ping continuously once connected for few days until reboot is required. I'm using Huawei E960

B. Rates for data plans prior to 24 August 2009
The legacy data plans (data plans which were in place prior to 24 August 2009) will continue to
be supported based on the applicable rates as set out below. But these plans will not be available
for any new subscribers beginning 24 August 2009.

So for users who register before 24 August 2009 they get true Unlimited with no capped at RM99
