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

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.

JWCheah:

i now planning to change to I2GO same to u. not sure whether successful or not. coz one of my frd are interested with my maxis BB.
i am maxis postpaid user.but now my problem is maxis is charging me another extra 15 riggit monthly if i need to apply extra sim for data purpose under the same line.

if not mistaken, last time u say thr is no extra charge rite? how u do tat?

i thought the more negative your reception is the stronger reception of your modem, no???  

is it possible to downgrade for maxissbb?
currently i subscribed to power package but apparently the best speed i could get is 3G speed only eventhough the status indicates that the modem is connected to HSDPA network...
during the first 2 months  i managed to get HSDPA speed like 2-3 times....but not anymore...i did some tests on the speed various times and never exceeded 3G speed.
i plan to downgrade to rm68/basic package now..waste of money paying rm103 per month but only managed to get 3G speed.
supposedly my area has a stable HSDPA network since the modem always connected to HSDPA network...

JWCheah:

still dont hv answer?

so now u got 2 sim for 1 line, can u use both of them online at the same time?

Yes , how did you downgrade your package cause I am thinking of downgrading to RM 68 cause thats enough for their faces !. Seriously , now it sucks big time....But on the other hand the I2G package looks good , consistent speed even though they are connected to the same tower

i wondering maxis will allowed us directly transfer maxis BB to I2GO or not~~
if can, this would be great to us.

later i will try to call 123 ask them.

I2GO can reach 3.6mbps? how come the maxis website stated on 768kbps?

http://buyeng.ebay.com.hk/buying/hk/displa...75-595U-AirCard

the site can buy the attenna u want. i calculate aldy, about RM99 including the postage. this guy feedback is good and can use paypal.

juz now i call maxis broadband hotline, they dont allowed to change.

u r welcome. maybe u can get more unit to sell in LYN bulk.

i thk country is not the issue, the most important is the attenna is suitable to ur data card or not. so i thk it is no problem with sierra 875.

Hey there,

Your signal seems to be okay. You might face inconsistency in ydownloading and things like that. To change to WCDMA only. You'll have to do this,

Go to your modem configuration and click Network Connect. Select Disconnect Internet and press Apply. Then next up go to Network Select and choose WCDMA and press apply.
The next thing you should configure is APN Settings. I've managed to find out that the default Maxis DNS Server sucks most of the time. Yes , thats why you are unable to your .NET thingy. In order to fix this you gotta change few settings
Firstly change the APN Dial Number from *99# to *99***1# , this should fix the disconnection issue at least !.

Next change from Auto DNS to Manual DNS and use this

Primary DNS : 202.75.129.101
Standby DNS : 202.75.129.102

Give it a shot and let me know ~!

Please do me a favour if you change this settings , go to Report and Check on Do not Report. I dont want Maxis folks to know what am I up to actually !

50kbps is a bit slow isn't it ... especially for BTers....
i'll try to get some tracert results of a simillar address from my office and compare it with the maxis tracert...

i have been monitoring for the past few hours... it seems everything is fine.. i don't know if it is the settings that gave the changes or the Connection Keeper application that made the change... anyways... my downloads in my download manager just continues running for the past few hours...

i hope maxis considers to get rid of the initial redirection to the www.maixs.com.my/maxisbb...

it seriously is frustrating at times when it just redirects only once every re-connection... and if no connection is made, no data is passed through....i wonder what is the logic behind this???

Hello all, I am a Maxis postpaid user and I received a SMS from them today to give me a birthday gift that I'll get a free one month unlimited data package for wireless Internet access worths RM 99. I'll need to redeem it before January 10 if I am interested...
I don't think my area, Port Dickson is covered for its wireless service.

How is the connection for the wireless? If not it is going to be wasteful to waste such gift if the connection is good...

if you don't mind about the 18 months contract... you get 1 months of free usage and then you get tied for the rest of the 17months... and the worst will come if you regret getting it after that...

remember... there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world...

speed wise is hard to say... as there is some negative and some positive feedbacks...

it is a bad thing that they actually do not let users get a 7 or 14 day trial with the initlal payments and a full refund if the user is not satisfied...

they used to do that with their old wireless broadband package and so does time webbit and also jaring's own wireless service if i am not wrong..

maybe too many people went back for a refund i guess...

Sorry, I think you got me wrong. I got free from Maxis as a postpaid user for my birthday but it will only last for one month.
I'm a her actually.
Well, I don't know which one that I'll be getting...
This is the SMS I got:
Happy Birthday! Special gift to you from Maxis. FREE 1 month unlimited data package for wireless internet access worths RM 99! Just call 123 by 10Jan08 to redeem.

What does it mean?

same with u
i got this sms also

Hey people! Wondering if anyone here encountering the same problem as i am....appreciate any help at all

i'm having problem with my USB modem (Huawei E220), where each time the line drops to 'EDGE'...and when it tries to get back to 'UMTS' (3G), my connection will be disconnected. And i will have to connect (manually) again ... This happens frequently, and it's rather frustrating.

Anyone...out there...pleasee...help me... this maxis broadband is driving me nuts....arrggghhhhh....

Helpppppppp..... Thanks everyone

anyone knows where can i download the software inside the usb modem??.....recently i upgrade da mobile connect to mobile partner....it's so slow..can anybody help?

i had juz change to I2GO data unlimited RM99 package.
currently using my 838pro as modem first, still consider to buy sierra 875u or huawei e220.
so far my comment is I2GO at my place is not really stable,the ping result is almost same with maxis broadband.download speed is not stable, sometime can get fast, sometime slow. i thk maybe because of using phone as modem, but average still better than maxis broadband.
i apply a new sup line for this I2GO, coz maxis told me if i wan to add another based on my principle line, they will charge me RM15/month.
