Stable enough. 8.3Mbps download and 0.6Mbps upload speedtest.org with local KL servers.

No active promo from Maxis though. Even some agents at Maxis may not know until you ask them to check availability. 

I needed to go twice to Maxis centre to get it done eventually.

I know this is quite late for me to get into this, but my home P1 2mbps contract is going to end soon and I am searching for alternative. I know that I can either go with Maxis ADSL, P1 or YES 4G, all of them with 2mbps speed with unlimited quota. What I want to know is how high the ping usually is? And what is the average speed you all are getting for the package you paid for? because currently using the P1 2mbps package I am only getting about 400-500 kbps on average, so I would love to know if maxis is any better.

Another question I have is if I can use any wireless router with the maxis ADSL package? As far as I know the included modem does not have WiFi support. So can I use any wireless router that I have or do I need to specifically look for router that works with ADSL? And if I use a router with 5Ghz WiFi would it work with the Maxis ADSL 2mbps package?

I know that's a lot of question to answer, so I would really appreciate if any of you can tell me more about this smile.gif

P1 and 4G, if not mistaken, are non-wired solutions. I personally think that they are inferior to the wired versions due to quota and wild fluctuations in bandwidth depending on user saturation.

As for my experience with Maxis wired ADSL, download speeds are quite consistent (>80% e.g. 1.7Mbps for 2Mbps package and 8.4Mbps for 8Mbps for local sites). Not so happy with upload speed (about 0.7Mbps).

Ping time is lagging (>200ms) for US sites.

I am pairing up a Linksys E2000 wifi router with the Zyxel ADSL2+ modem (also with Wifi fundtion but I disable this feature) provided by Maxis.

I think so too, but the P1 package that I got comes without quota limit, so that's the good part.
Good to hear that, upload speed does not matter that much to me, so it should be ok for me I think.
I tested the P1 with speedtest.net, and always got about around 90ms average. I really hope that the latency is lesser with Maxis here cause my game delays alot because of the latency that I have now.
Good to know, I'm planning on getting a TP-Link Archer C7 to go with Maxis, hope it works well smile.gif
Thanks for your time to answer to my question biggrin.gif
