I'm playing WoW on this!!!

no problem!

despite the speed results as below:

hi guys~

I just started using Maxis Unet... currently go online using my phone connect laptop using USB cable. I'm concerned over my phone battery in long run.

can any1 advise me, which modem to get? Is huawei the only brand? and which model? I'm running on Mac, so modem has to be OS X compatible.

thanks in advance.

Hi fruitie,

May I know which brand+model of the modem you are using?

besides HuaWei and ZTE MF600 modem mentioned by ibnuasad (thanks )

and how do we share the connection? I haven't come accross any wireless router that has a USB Port.

Thanks in advance.

thank you guys!

I'll go check out ZTE MF622.

hmmm...


@Jalan Kuching

actually I have the same experience... after midnight, connection become snail...

then 2am++ will be slightly better...

no~woh.

anyway, I still find my M3G is more stable to play WoW, compare to streamyx. I lag a lot on streamyx, but not M3G...

from your SS of your bill, that doesn't really show you were being charged extra.

'cos I also got Usage Charges from my parents (as they are my sup lines). I'm on RM99 Unlimited Data plan too.

Could it be you have sup line or other VAS?

Here's my speedtest:


around Jalan Kuching, above 20++ floor.

I agree to check w their CS 1st... 'cos

it's still advertised on website - Maxis - Personal - Mobile Services - Maxis Mobile Internet

after all the heavy "investment"... glad that Maxis recognise you guys as their MVC (most valuable customers)!!!

GRATZ!

such clarifcations, better come from Maxis' officials... 'cos we can all tell you everything, but at the end, it's Maxis that can confirm your questions.

nope... no contract binded. you can terminate any time.

I didn't try PPStream, but I was playing WoW (online game), the latency surprisingly better than streamyx. But streamyx is still more stable... like it or not... streamyx is still the best ISP amont the worst in Malaysia.

as far as I remembered... no. I just called up and ask the CS to add in this VAS for me. in 30mins, my unlimited plan was on. But it's better you call and ask... 'cos I'm not Maxis staff. They might change policy now...

to add in more info...

Maxis 3G Internet's connection (not BB) not bad, stable, however speed is not fast, but acceptable.

I have no problem surfing and playing World of Warcraft at 20th floor (despite I was informed weak signal 10th floor and above).

so everytime when Screamyx is down, I'll go online via phone connecting to laptop... same like the other day, when the whole nation was down.


EDITED: btw... this is NOT a Maxis Broadband (Maxis BB) Thread.

WOW!!! Now I got something to complain about Maxis!!!

bill came yday and:

Maxis Mobile Internet / Maxis Mobile Internet
24/03/10-23/04/10 GPRS/EDGE/3G 19,608KB 196.08



so I called up CS to query about that... he got back to me just now, saying my record shows a valid data usage for 15mins... and it's 190MB usage.

and he said I have to pay for that...

GOSH!!!

01) I didn't use that.
02) even if I do, I'll go #100* for RM8/day for 500MB;
03) I don't download stuffs.

so he said he'll ask the billing guys to get back to me.


!!

RM190++~loh...

of course I'm not paying for something I didn't use.

A friend just informed me that his nephew's line got charged for RM1K on data usage, which he doesn't even surf net or use mobile internet...

Thanks for pointing that out... didn't realise it... as the CS told me over the phone is 190MB... didn't know 1MB = RM1...

This is a Maxis 3G/HS 3G Thread... so of course, it's 3G Internet~loh... not Maxis Wireless Broadband.

yes, I know about *100#, 'cos every time if I'm not at home//office, and need to use internet, I'll subscribe either RM2/hr or RM8/day. So meaning, I won't direct connect and kenal charged by per usage.

and I'm on postpaid+auto-debit. meaning they already charged it to my CC!

I'm gonna stop all auto-debit from now! this is too risky+ridiculous!

Funny thing is... how did the "19MB" appear? when I ask the CS to tell me... where had this 19MB access to? let me know the IP/URL... he said he is not able to retrieve that info, and said he'll get the billing ppl to contact me.

still waiting... tomorrow I'll call Maxis back and see.

I received the same SMS too, and not tied to any data plan.

and I agreed, MAXIS offered better multiple data packages, then other telcos.
