Its weird , you can get 200Kb/s (please post your RSSI) and I am getting sucky 40kb/s (my RSSI is 65 dbm)...There is something funny going on. Honestly, I think maxis is being bias !

hmmmm... i'm living in semenyih where in their website said there's no connection at all for maxis broadband! but my fren r using it.. n he can get direct download speed up to 60-70kbps... and also using deluge, he can get bout 40-50kbps.. not reali fast r ofcos... but ok r still..

200kb/s too fast man.............

can anyone help me
my line suck la. my area only got UMTS but the line slow like hell
isn't UMTS speed can reach until 30Kb/s ++
and my RSSI is 61.5dBm

where is ur location?

We have to consider the possibility that in the case of their resellers, Maxis may be "allowing" them a higher bandwidth/higher speed to help them sell the service. After all, if their speed is the same as other subscribers, ie. sucks, then how are they going to be able to "con" people into signing up?

Location, location, location. It is very much depends on the base station technology (version), number of users and then your signal strength. I've asked a communication engineer for Ericsson who does the maintenance for Maxis and he inform that there will be huge differences if the base tower is newly equip for 3G/HSDPA enable or just with an upgrade. How many users they can take, i'm not sure but as compared to the upgraded ones, the newly setup towers will perform much much better will good average speed per users. So conclusion, if your area is a new area, like Damansara Perdana or so.... it should be on a WOW speed as compared to maybe SubangJaya or Cheras. There isn't enough pressure from the authorities to push for a BETTER SERVICE at the moment due to limited number of ISPs (with 3G permit). I don't think Cyberjaya and the MSC is doing enough. Malaysia Boleh (malas)!

Not to forget the other variable in this equation - the backhaul capacity from the base station to the backbone. Let's say you have a new RBS with a 10mbps backhaul capacity. 10 users on HSDPA capable devices get on at the same time and do active transfers; each will get 1mbps. Contrast that with an older "upgraded" RBS, with a backhaul of 100mbps, and the same 10 users get on, with active transfers; each will get 10mbps in this case. As this information is not available publicly, it could account for performance differences as well, in addition to the factors you've mentioned.

But the I2G service is somewhat slower these three days. I was accustomed to 400KB/s (+/- 10%) speeds, this has now dropped to around 300KB/s (+/- 10%) lately. Testing was done to the same file hoster. It appears that even their premier I2G service is getting a wee bit congested.

Yeah. The performance here in Subang Jaya sucks

Hey dude, the line we are using still registered under personal name, we can only get that kind of speed in certain location

ermm i living in puchong prima near tesco area (inside a bit)

ur maxis bb really like built-in turbo!!

200Kbps or 200KBps? if 200KBps is too much ler...i tak tahan adi... must complaint

haha... so next time you just opt to buy up the resellers sim card lar... or offer them some sum + RM50 transfer fee... sure guarantee fast in that case..

then if they don't take the initiatives, we must proceed with preassuring them to do so... complaint everywhere... the more public the better... preassure them to make a move to better their services...

same here la... even some outbound sites also cant access...

speedtest.net was unaccessible this morning too...

the site that loaded up the fastest was www.tm.net.my on a maxis broadband

Same as me. Cannot login to msn and hotmail until now.

Hei, u guys can download any file from rapidshare or megaupload? Its stuck when preparing to download. Did maxis blocked t also??? -)

i am not sure bout blocking... but i sure have some sites that are totally inaccessible now....speedtest is one of them from this morning till i got back from work... and i thought it was an intermittent problem... calling them now... PISSED

so let's see how it is tomorrow...funny that almost the whole of lowyat.net including it's forums work quite well... all that except for the price lists...
