Hi, anyone here using Wired Maxis Broadband?

I'm from Pusat Bandar Puchong by the way, anyone having problems sharing internet connection with Maxis's router?

This post has been edited by magiara: Jan 24 2010, 11:07 PM

I'm a user. Same area... so far no problems sharing. But i do get frequent disconnections.

yea recently i'm having this problem, always got time out problem!

my uncle's maxis also always disconnect
his house is at bandar utama, damansara

i just bought wireless adsl router from D-Link, so im able to share connection already, cost me rm 260

Me from same area, pusat bandar puchong, been waitin for 2 months for the damn thing, bought a linksys wrt54gs ver 6 for 292+12(credit card), till now maxis has yet to instal. They promised 2moro but again wont hold my breath...regarding the overpriced router, bought it becoz the guy said it was ver 4!! bought from sunway pyramid.

i not using the maxis router anymore, it sucks!

now using d-link, but firmware got problem, always drop line

but overall maxis' speed is good

i'm requesting maxis to increase their upload speed for my connection, dunno will be approve or not, i want 512 for upload so have smooth gaming on blue server when create game

do you think your request will be processed?

my uncle's house also always dc
sometimes can jalan, sometimes stop one

maybe you should try to update its firmware

maxis got internet?
is it an alternative to tmnut screamyx (follow user above )

and how much and where can i get info on it?

my office is using Maxis 2mb wired line. i find it very stable. but p2p dunno lah .. ofis what

The funny thing is it seems only the web browsing would be disconnected... not my IM or P2P or even ping. I think.

Did anyone logged a complaint with Maxis about this before?

Whats the default upload speed for 1Mbps package?

So how is the upload speed for this connection ?

still hv to subcribe to telekom line?

256 kbps for the upload

Today is my scheduled installation date, not trusting these freaks anymore, i called the installation vendor. Asked for my appoinment time. Guess what they said? They dun have my name, Maxis havent sent the order yet!!!!

I called maxis but the guy said my case closed, but the vendor have been informed bout my installation. I told them i juz called the vendor. The guy said will check again. Was 2 bz 2 get pissed, got a few missed calls from maxis i guess.

Then in the afternoon got a call from a guy sayin his comin 2 instal the thing! Hallelujah!!

Am home now and what can i say.....impresive....very impresive....

no idea whats my speed or anythin is...dun know much bout broadband...when i figure out how it all works, will post. Only thing i can say, faster than my office network...now gotta figure out how my router works...brb...

what is the upload speed for 512 ?

Yes... those lousy good for nothing installer... happened to me before... lost my form la... maxis haven't process la... this la... that la... took them over a month before coming. I actually called up the installer, technician and maxis to screw their ass almost daily. Good way to vent my frustration at that time. haha

Rather than ask details, mayb you should check if its available in your area first.

www.maxis.com.my

i have been told by the fella in maxis center that the upload speed is only 64 kbps for both 1mb and 512kbps package. i sense the nut-ness is growing in maxis

don't think so... i've uploaded torrent at above that rate before.

If the upload speed is really capped at 64kbps, IMO it would be enough for a single user to use the connection but if you plan to share the connection, 64kbps of upload is just not enough. Plus it wouldn't seem to make sense if the download speed is at 1mbps while the upload at 64kbps.

5.3 Excessive Usage

5.3.1 Each customer's total usage per month shall NOT exceed 3GB of data volume transmitted (total upload and download usage). This is to ensure that no individual hogs the bandwidth at all times

As far as I know that is for the Maxis Broadband via 3G right ? Correct me if I'm wrong.

From what i saw at their website just now,the terms and conditions that stated the download limitation is directly accessible(clickable) from the wired broadband info page so i believe it may apply to wired connection too.

gg for maxis wired broadband

may i know that how u guys get the bill statment from maxis for the wired bb ? i checked my maxis phone bill and it doesn't consist of any bb payment

from what i heard from my uncle, maxis temporary doesn't send bills to you guys
anyway, it's better to ask maxis

Ok guys,

For ur info...im using the 512k package, checked using the jaring application and my upload speed was 400k somethin while download was bout 110k. Did the test 4 times and got that speed twice. The other 2 times i got an upload of 100/200 somethin and download of 60...still beats dialup though..im connected via wireless to my router. The wireless signal is 4 out of 5 bars in the windows network icon. Sorry for the lack of info, newbie in this networkin/broadband stuff.

So your upload was higher than your download ?

Sorry, its the other way round!!! download 400k upload around 100k...

LOL

the installation sux, i have to wait for whole month for him juz to put up the modem, i actually got the DSL signal 2 weeks b4 the installation.

but the speed is good, so far, it is faster than screamyx and i got stable connection too.

but i heard that their monthly fee is much more expensive than tmnet

rm 88 and rm 100
i rather use maxis
maxis is good

actually, MAXIS BROADBAND FAIR USAGE POLICY is meant for both wireless and wired broadband, however, so far, anyone using maxis broadband and bt'ng??


5.3.1 Each customer's total usage per month shall NOT exceed 3GB of data volume transmitted (total upload and download usage). This is to ensure that no individual hogs the bandwidth at all times.


well... if this is strictly applied, no point also... simply download 3 movies gau dim jor... also called up maxis broadband customer service, and he said service would be barred if exceed 3Gb volume, any user can clarify this please?

and again... if so... what is the meaning to have 24x7 connection but we cant fully utilize it? *sigh*

what??? 64kbps??? slow like snail. if u plan to upload something bigger than 100mb, can take 2 days.

Its 256kbps actually. I've done upload at 25Kbps before....

256kbps is for 1mb package i guess
but hell, the upload speed is not enough for me! i need 512kbps!

excuse me, i'm interested in this maxis wired broadband.. already read the tos.. mind to share is it available in other places such as seremban? oh ya, me already go to maxis webbie but didn't know how to use the location finder..

so experience user please share some info tq..

Where do you guys live? Seems like nowhere in Petaling Jaya has Maxis Wired Broadband.

i'm getting quite a slow speed for my wired 1mb, izit bcoz i exceed the 3gb quota? and maxis limit my bandwidth?

Does Maxis broadband can be considered better than TMNet? I'm thinking of switching because they are giving bad service. Good or not at least if it's better than TMNets tell me guys.

i'm sure it's better

But guy ,if it is nthing better then stremyx why change it ? At least now my download speed at my stremyx bill is 10gig per month ..w/o restriction ???

WHy born by this kind of rules...consumer have the power to decide which is good..

I believe my 1mb using a new GUI speed tester...sppedtest.net... i get d/l 687kb/s
u/l 297kb/s

Can i said it is still ok compare wtih maxis wired ??

I'm really considering an ISP switch.. - Streamyx is really getting my nerves on, ever since the major earth quake in Taiwan or somewhere else I've been getting poor connection..

something wrong with maxis already, im not getting constant speed nowadyas, maybe i've exceeded 3gb quota and they limit my bandwidth

when their user as much as streamyx their connection may be worse than screamyx... i bet

3GB per month...so if u buy win vista + dl from microsoft's site...then u can no longer access internet for the rest of the month.

i am a maxis wired broadband users from Bandar Baru Nilai ,Negeri Sembilan
i register it at 31 of march
but i had been wait until 24 of april to get the service!!
so far im using it without any problem, everything is okay
im satisfied so much althought it is a bit slower than TM Nut 512

I'm sure you guys really feels cheated with Maxis blood sucker

so far there was no problem with my maxis wired broadband service
but the only things that im not satisfied is the limit of usage!!

i on bt everyday so far never kena block yet

hi, does anyone know the DNS ips for maxis? i'm trying to do port forwarding....nevermind

This post has been edited by s6x: May 23 2007, 09:54 AM

port forwarding is easy on maxis

port forwarding is easy PERIOD...if you know the dns ips that is...

must be expensive

It is pretty unfair for Maxis to cap bandwidth.
BTW does Maxis Wired Boardband uses ADSL tech or LAN/fiber optic?

well its adsl i guess..
since there is no fiber to your house or a cat5 cable

anything is does the 3gb apply to both wired and wireless ? isn't it abit silly for wired connection to have 3gb a month ?

so far never kena cap bandwidth yet

hmm my connection as of today:

Just register the standard package today, ask the promoter and read the T&C but did not found the 3GB limitation data transfer exceed policy.
I do ask the promoter about the policy but seem she just claims that u can download unlimited, (dunno whether is she lie?)
After I confirm that the contract T&C do not have the data limitation policy (Impossible the rules was invisible but will appear after I signed kuah ?), I have signed. Just feel will I regret after this? God bless me...
Actually do seeking for ownership transfer but hard to get reply, then due to the urgent of internet usage, somemore DigiMall have the Maxis promoter today, so I take the risk to go for it.

Hi, anybody here know what's Maxis wired broadband Primary and Backup DNS? I wanna set up my personal wireless network and need my PC to be static IP for some port forwarding.

5. Fair Usage
5.1 At Maxis, we want our broadband service to be fast and available for our customers at all times. This clause is designed with that goal in mind. Maxis views the vast majority of customers should not suffer from a slower service because of a very small number of high bandwidth users.
5.2 Peer-To-Peer and File Sharing Software
5.2.1 Certain software/applications which is used by a small number of customers to send and receive files containing very large amounts of data (including without limitation traffic from peer-to-peer software/applications (such as Bit Torrent, eDonkey, Gnutella) or file sharing software (such as Limewire)). These activities may cause network congestion and can negatively impact the speed at which other customers can access the internet.
5.2.2 Maxis does not guarantee a service level and/or connectivity to users of peer-to-peer or file sharing software/applications.
5.2.3 The system that is used to provide the Maxis Broadband service can identify very high bandwidth users and Maxis seeks to manage the customer's usage by throttling their bandwidth to a much lower broadband speed to ensure fairness to all customers.
5.2.4 The customers are reminded that the software (as mentioned in section 5.2.1 above) allows the download of illegal content which Maxis prohibits, which is an infringement of copyright and/or intellectual property rights and rightful owners of such copyright and/or intellectual property rights may take measures to prosecute. Each individual download can be traced by the customer's IP address back to the customer's account with Maxis.
5.2.5 Maxis reserves the right to release customer information pursuant to any copyright (and/or intellectual property right) infringement if it is required to do so by any law, regulatory body or court of law.

5.3 Excessive Usage
5.3.1 Each customer's total usage per month shall NOT exceed 3GB of data volume transmitted (total upload and download usage). This is to ensure that no individual hogs the bandwidth at all times.
5.3.2 If a customer wishes to use more than the volume permitted, a written request should be made to Maxis.
5.3.3 Maxis reserves the right to reject the said application or charge for any additional data volume transmitted from what is already allocated.


6. Enforcement on Breach of Policy
6.1 In respect of the customers who are in violation of this Policy, Maxis may, at its option and discretion, have their bandwidth managed, service suspended or terminated (with or without notice as Maxis considers appropriate).
6.2 To report any illegal or unacceptable use of Maxis Broadband service, please send an email to customercare@maxis.com.my

very sad ...

Means if download a larger 3gb stuff used up all the bandwidth?

i dun think so..been using over 3GB already..

btw,anyone know the password for prestige 600R-T1 modem that is used for maxis wired?

nah, i cant access it using default password

My question is whether Maxis uses TMnet's backbone for connections outside of Malaysia.

Hahaha.... My one day BT already about 5-6GB with Streamyx 1Mbps with VPN service.
I use Maxis, sure koyak already.

Any users from Pusat Bandar Puchong using this services? I need some feedback on this since jaring wireless is not moving at all.. I've been stuck with near 0 speed for sometimes

Im from Pusat Bandar Puchong, what is it u wanna know?

Recently (pass 3 weeks) i noticed my speed sucks big time...

tht bad ahh.... can use www.testmy.net and post up your result?

are you from tempua area?

hmm.shouldnt be.most maxis wired users i've chatted around says its better than streamyx.connection problem??

affirmative
Maxis wired broadband is good
so far no dc problem at all!
the speed is good and stable
although a bit slower than streamyx
but its stable
can always reach to 85% of ur subscription speed!

How about Bit torrent?

So far kena cap or kena warning letter b4?

ok
no problem at all
like usual..
download status is normal
no kena cap and also no warning letter until now..

no such thing as warning letter.

no need to worry about the 3gb limitation(it is not being implemented).stability and connectivity is also good.the only thing that sux about maxis wired broadband is the customer service. try calling up and see.they don't even know what to do about package upgrades.
i went to the cs centre in ttdi to ask about upgrading my speed from 512mbs to 1mbs and the supervisor says i have to pay a penalty of rm83 per remaining months in contract on top of the higher monthly charges.i have to pay more just so i can pay more? is streamyx doing this aswell? the signup ppl told me when i first registered that if i wasn't satisfied with the speed then i could just call the hotline for a package upgrade without any issues.my advice is if u wanna signup make sure ur signing up for the right package.maxis has no time to limit your bandwith(they don't even have time to sync information between departments).if anyone has any information on package upgrades pls share here.thanks and mods, sorry if
i'm posting in the wrong thread.

How long it takes for the maxis fellow to come and install for u guys?

it depends..
when the maxis broadband was launched....
many ppl register for it..
its fxxx!
i almost wait for a month to get the service!
but after that i dunno la
because that time they prepare not enought modem for installation! (what kind of service?)
now i think is ok...
and yet..i found tat their technical support team is good
last time ,there was a problem with my maxis broadband..
so i was very unhappy so that i called to maxis broadband CS immediately and complain to them!
then u noe what happen?
im suprise that after 1 day i complain to them
they straight away send a technician to my house and help me to settle my lines problem!
im very satisfied with their working efficiency!

maybe u are just plain unlucky to get a trainee helpdesk operator

complains usually take at most 1 day for them.usually after a couple hours, they'll come to your house inspecting what kind of problems you had.

they even gave tips for my mom too for not putting the speakers too near the monitor, otherwise inteference will occur.

what kind of modem is bundled with the package.... interested to know

Friend said chapalang one..but I dont feel like forking 100-200 buying D-link la

its a chapalang-i-forget-what-brand-it-is.

got 1 port for the connection only.so i have to buy a switch for me to connect to other Pcs at home.

they prove a router modem!
ZyXEL P-660R-T1

Yesterday I recevied direct mailer from Maxis Broadband asking me to sign up their service (HSDPA i.e 3.5G)...Offer is that all charges like installation, activation, deposit, bla bla bla are waive...Best part they waive the 18mth contract if I sign up during promo period. I only pay for subscription & modem rental fee only... Am still thinking of it..

wat's ur average kps download speed?

always 50+ kb...

Whats your upload speed, im just about to subscribe, then have Maxis not streamyx in my are, but i need a good upload spead, Maxis said it is 256 upload, but someone showed on speedtest they were getting over 400.

thanks

mine is 512k package,512kbps download 128kbps upload
but according to test result
it shown that my actual download speed was 440kbps only ,well upload speed only 110kbps

I'm gonna try Maxis Wired since Maxis Wireless is only good for 3rd floor and lower. I just moved to an apartment in Pusat Bandar Puchong/Bandar Puteri(a bit in between) and its at the 4th floor.
Anybody staying near and using Maxis Wired?

Maxis modem and Telekom streamyx modem is different?

omg !
maxis bb is getting slow and slower ! afternoon and peak hours are so slow !

Sometimes I wonder about the LYn effect... I mean you know about the slashdot effect.. something gets written about in /. and suddenly the site dies from overload could it be that if something is praised on LYN, the sudden surge of new customers overwhelm their systems ?

lolz, the speed at my home @ rawang is the same, 100kBps download and about 30kBps upload all day long

maybe.well, LYN is a well-known internet community throughout the whole Malaysia
