First of all , how did you get rid your maxisbb. I am thinking of changing it to I2G. My phone shows that i could get 1.3Mbps (after doing a speed test). This seems to be promising

he apply new I2GO and his old package 138 transfer to his frd.
i also thinking of change to I2GO, but i thk thr is no way beside of transfer account.

right on....
But I must say, the usb was actually better for gaming performance and it was still improving... the I2G latency is somehow not stable. I was on 80ms to HK server when I started but after an hour it jumped to 300ms... then kena "kicked" for high ping....
Download speed was excellent during the morning.... 2mbps!!!

oh man~2mbps??
our maxis BB stable latency also 200ms +- , your is better a lot man. now u make me feel like to change.
anyway, averagely i could get only 500kbps+- ~although my RSSI is around 65dBm

I am feeling like dumping it.

My RSSI will hover around ~70-69dBm..After tweaking I could get around 300+- Kbps constant which is good enough !

what tweaking u doing? u using what package?

Let see....
Sierra Aircard 875=RM370.00
Mthly fees = RM99/mth
Usage for 18mths = RM1782
Total = RM2152 (equivalent to RM119.55/mth)

Cheaper than the USB package but not the ZTE.....

Would really like to check again as my previous post wasnt answered. I'm currently using a ZTE modem, would an USB modem be able to get a better signal reception? Please disregards the package used and currently my RSI hovers around 80+ up to 90, which is very very bad from wat i read in this thread.

My best bet for you is to see if there is opportunity to further improve the signal strength. I personally do not think that the usb E220 possess any advantage in terms of signal reception as the internal antenna is weak as compared to the ZTE. In Korea/SA where the ZTE is used, they somehow connect the antenna with a different model which carries a huge dB gain but you must make sure that it matches the impedances. If all fail, all you can do is to continue to make complaints until the boost the signal in your location...... good luck........

(you should take your ZTE with charged batteries to nearby area to further capture the average speedreading. This should determine the direction of your base station; just my tots )

Unfortunately that is not possible as i'm using a PC, no notebook yet.. Will continue to call them up. CAnt even get my speed or 384, where dare to upgrade to 3.6? -.-" waste of money..

Maxis HSPDA Package RM 120 per month

Settings N95 Conneceted to cable to Sony Vaio

Location Damansara Height

3 Mbit ftp download from torrentflux servers

im new here.izit maxis wireless bb available in ipoh?? speed fast? LOL that location finder in maxis website is nt exact.swt..

So it is possible to get more then 300KBps connection ?

Averagely, you can only achieve GPRS (<20kbps) and EDGE (<120kbps). I go back there often and there are some location which claims that they can get UTMS but somehow I can connect to UTMS but no data transfer.... not sure if they are in the midst of upgrade or what.... I think you should wait or use Celcom as 3G is definitely available in Ipoh....

MX510, thats an insane speed!!

so u mean celcom is better coverage in IPOH than maxis? btw celcom got 3.6mbps package rite?

Im having frequent disconnections today.
Rar!

Not even half an hour I'm surfing, and disconnected again.

MSN could not even sign in.

hi all,

I'm using maxisbb for more than 3 months, it is stable for me, but the only issue I'm not satisfy is sometimes it will hang.

For example, suddenly it like no data flow in, but I check http://192.168.0.1, it shows it is connected. Then I need to off the ZTE modem and wait for half minutes, then on it back, wait another 2 to 3 mins, then only i can use again. AFter rebooted the modem, it seems the speed is back to normal. And it is working fine. I found out that Maxisbb website did post out the bulletin and advised users to reboot the modem while this issue happen.

Is there any brothers have a better solution for this issue? I tried to call to Helpdesk and ask them to change the ZTE modem, but they said need to send technician to my place and check the modem lah and this lah that lah, feel a bit dissappointed about this.

But overall I feel it is still better than Streamyx ...hahahaha..

I attached the speed test on this reply. Please have a look.

maxis got rm120 package?

Get your whole modem and go to MAxis KLCC and request for a change... tell them your issue and add a bit more saying that the modem is a bit coo-koo and they will change a new one for you.... make sure you make a scene if they dun. Happens all the time.....
