No it has nothing got to do with base station

How

I did an experiment with my phone and ZTE Modem. Both of them are connected to the same base station (I used a tool in my Trinity to find out which base station I'm connected to)

My Phone's APN is set to unet . I get an IP op 58.x.x.x (which is a Class B IP Address and its Public). I'm getting speeds around 900kbps-1.1Mbps (my phone has a 1.8Mbps HSDPA Chip , so yeah its pretty good)

On the other hand the ZTE (Not too sure bout the USB)'s APN is maxisbb. It gives me a 121.120.x.x IP Address. Now here comes the problem , the speed is pretty bad compared to the phone

Hi Prasys,

I just called Maxis yesterday and they say Internet2GO (the internet service with your mobile phone) is limited to 384kbps no matter if your phone supports HSPDA or not..

You just mentioned you downloaded 900kbps-1.1mbps, thats not 384kbps :\


Edit: The lady at the Midvalley mall that is doing the maxisbb promotion also said the same. Thats why I called up maxis there and then to confirm.. I was contemplating whether to use my phone as a modem or get the maxisbb package.

But if you notice , some guy whos using the Maxis Internet2Go package can get higher speeds. I am not sure if that is the RM 99 package or the RM 120 (Unlimited Data package).

I can confirm this as I've tried the Internet2go RM120 package..... VERY stable and fast. I do think that maybe the information given out is not that accurate as I also heard a rumor that the USB wireless sales is not doing good, maybe more promo to win new user and upset the old ones like us

Bottomline is that the speed on the 121.120.X.X really varies. I've witness a 1800KBps/700KBps connection using the USB in Hartamas.

prasys... u mention abt "tool in my Trinity" can helps to locate the basestation, any recommended tools for WinXP? Really find that interesting.

haha feel like jumping down!!!
what shud i do man

A lot people also having this problem. So you are not alone. Same goes to me. I just tired complaining to Maxis. Just see what they can provide this few couple days.

Hmmm..... speed sux..... only torrenting abt 10KBps..... cannot suft..... this is not good..... gonna call Maxis now...... to let out some fire!!!!

ur speed is consider quite fast, just look at mine..
i have posted it at page 9....

cuz gombak, the rssi is 83-90
keramat rssi is 70-80

but speed still suck jugak
dl wont reach more than 20kbps nowadays

I think what u said is true better use Internet2Go only ip with 58.x.x.x give that superb speed RM 120 plan

my area here dun have the service yet
sob

just want to share something..

my package is advance

1st day i bought it n test it im not happy at all..damm slow..i plug direct.signal is good then rssi didnt blink n its hsdpa..but still slow...download getting around less then 15kb..tested it for few days still da same...im damm piss off with it..event i used dap still cant get much around 20kb..

few days later i try connect using my wireless router..then i try to download some stuff direct download..using dap or ie download im quite suprise im getting around 1++kb ...i dont believes it also..i download few big files n small the speed quite fast..event torrent or limewire full speed im getting at night..

next day i try direct connect again zte to my comp damm slow..i dont understand why..but when i connect back to my wireless router i get full speed..now im quite happy wit it..no problem at all..i download more then 5gb....not sure what is the prob....

Are you trying to say that when you connect the ZTE modem to your computer / laptop, you are getting very slow download speed. And when you connect your modem with your wireless router, your download speed is fast. I think that will not help to boost up your connection.

1st : How can your wireless router perform better with ZTE modem?
2nd : Do you know the difference between a router and a modem?

No insult/flame OK. Just want to clarify. Correct me if I'm wrong. =)

Results @ Plaza Mont Kiara.
9:00am also can torrent more than 25KB/s.... must move here to get faster torrent.....

JWCheah: with maxisbb or Internet2GO?

MaxisBB USB RM138 per month.

Starngely during my surfing at the Mont Plaza, as I was torrenting @ 40+KBps... a friend of mine turn on his Maxis 3G and starting reading the KLSE and all of the sudden my connection drops deep down and torrenting only @ 10KBps.... Therefore, I asked him to discon to confirm the factors and it the line resume as before (+40KBps) just after 5 second he discon his.... hmmmm

wow, the power of advertisement.

before reading thru this thread, thought maxis broadband would be better than celcom, but now, really think twice before subscribing it.

what about celcom broadband? same probs as maxis?

I suggest you to take a look at the Celcom Thread !

guys i think now it's not the suitable time to test ur speed using www.speedtest.net.

why?

i've been getting crap uploads and download from the speedtest, but when i on my deluge, the speed is hovers around 40kBps.direct download too.

refer to the screenshot.that's the speed i've been getting for the past 2 days i think.i thought maxis is real slow, but i realise that my torrents are constantly downloading around 30~40kBps everytime i use it.

hmm..
