yes currently using fixed tel line from maxis. but when check with maxis sales ppl, they said wired service no more in offer.

when i ask why their webpage still showing wired service, they commented their website not updated....

Better go another center and don't ask. Just directly apply for BB and see can or not.

One more is check the maxis website and see your area got coverage or not. Why have fix line but no BB? Strange. Is that difficult to connect a BB?

want to ask how to check monthly usage, want to track so not to exceed the cap which is 3GB or is it 5GB?

there's no capping for maxis wired broadband.

Wow, really? It that case

but when i think back, there are certain times during the month when my speed are like slow for days and days, it's not that they throttle my connection? i wanted to say throttle, does cap means the same thing?

You lost is it? And stray to here instead maxis wireless? Here is maxis wired.

I noticed the same recently. You may have the same issue I have. The connected download speed doesn't stay at 1Mbps constantly (I subscribe to the Home 1.0 package). Everytime I switched off/on the Maxis given modem, the connected download speed can be different (usually 5xxkbps but can be lower occasionally). However, the upload speed is constantly connected at 512kbps.

Not sure if anyone else have this problem. I'll check with Maxis BB call centre on this later.

The dl speed is depend on seed/leech. If you want to check, dl the file that big size, many seed over leech. Check for few day continue without off your pc. You will see the speed is constant.

yupe. juz go maxis center for inquiry (listed in the website).

juz get my registration done yesterday and installation will be tomorrow.

I don't mean on P2P or BT.

The connection speed is from the modem admin screen:



As a result, the max download speed is limited to the current connection as indicated and that includes anything that you do incl BT and P2P. If you switched off/on the modem, the downstream speed changes. Since I subscribe to the 1Mbps, the downstream speed should be 1024kbps, should it not?

I think this speed in modem is pretty std once you log in. I off/on 100x the modem, it still show the same speed.

Maybe you need to call up maxis to check your phone line.

nolah, i know it's fixed line. i'm using 1mb package. i didn't use any p2p or bt. but on direct download, most of the time the speed is around 120kbps after the 2mb upgrade. at the very beginning of the upgrade, the speed is constantly almost 200kbps so i thought i reached some kind of limit and they throttled me

How do i check the connected speed leh?

Depends on how your network was setup. Normally through the modem admin URL. Start IE and type in 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (usually). You should see a sign-on screen for your modem/router. Key in your ID/password and look out for the system status or some such.

That speed is correct. With 2mb you are upgrading, the speed is around 200kBps. And you are getting 100% stable speed.

definitely within coverage area. went to another center directly to apply also said not offering the service, i was like WTF??!!

haih, i think maxis is too concentrating on wireless BB...too bad.

my hsemate got a avg dl speed of 188kbps whn dling 30 rock (this was at night).. i'm on 1mbps wired plan..

found out that u can't apply for 2mbps plan unless maxis offers u.. only for existing 'old' customers i guess..

Is there any 2MB Plan on their website?

apparently no.. its still in testing phase.. only several locations are covered.. IINM

Ok..
