Hey guys I am using this package currently (RM 68 one): http://www.maxis.com.my/home/plans_wired_512kb.asp

I can now access to the Internet through my PC but I want to have my handphone to be abled to access internet as well. Can I still choose to use this plan? Which service do I need to add on so that I can access Internet using mobile phones as well?

Add on a wireless router will do.

Ty^^ May I know how much will a wireless router normally cost? And does it add on to my monthly payment or it will be just a one-time payment thing? Where can I buy it a? Buy from Maxis? Thank you so much^^

Can buy from normal IT shop. Trickier part is to share out the internet connection (although its a straight forward plug and play device, would still need some skill to share out your internet connection from your laptop/desktop). Wireless router will less than RM100 and its a one time thing.

Ty^^ So Maxis does not provide the service if I want to add a wireless router? Or it will be more expensive if I buy it from Maxis? Will my overall internet speed becomes slower if I add the wireless router?

Btw, do you mind explain more on the Maxis Fibre? I don't feel like buying it cuz I saw that it has quota... Cuz the home package RM68 all that no quota and cheaper... but that one got quota yet more expensive... So I don't understand... Mind give me more explanations?

Thank you so much^^ biggrin.gif

Truth to be told, it is indeed quite complicated to share a internet connection from a dongle device through a wireless router. And yes, internet speed will certainly become slower if you share it out among more users.

Quota for UniFi and Maxis Fibre has been mentioned and stated since last year BUT has not yet been implemented, and it will NOT be implemented anytime soon, trust me. :-)

Quota was mentioned since last year as precaution that once all normal broadband users migrate to fibre optic line, together with new users, they will start using P2P non-stop and kill all the bandwith. We are still very far from reaching even half of the infrastructures max load capacity.

As for Maxis Fibre, if you look at the cheapest package (RM128 for 4Mbps line), its basically getting a very much FASTER internet connection for roughly twice the price? Plus, a whole lot of other freebies such as free calls to Maxis mobile numbers, IDD calls and also free calls on your Maxis mobile number.

Thank you^^ But it's too expensive for me ><

I can always close the wireless router when I'm not in use and it will not have effect on my speed right? Can i set password so that others won't share the coverage and made it slower? Ty^^
