Jus wanna ask, how was your connection last night btw 11:00pm till 1:00am? I logon at 9:00pm and the speed was poor. But all of a sudden, I could not log on and got error message from Maxis. Called to the centre and MAKE NOISE then finally they resolve to resetting my connection. Then the unexpecteded happened. The speed reaches more than 1.2MBps (really happy as it has proven that E220 has the capability not just manual figures) but the torrent didnot show much as I was on some 0:5 seed/peer torrent. Just wanna to know if this is a one time only event or maybe resetting the connection helps.....

i do port forward since im using router, norton anti virus + norton internet security, using TOR

while im downloading multiple BT files at 100kb/s right now, my web browsing speed is extremely slow though

my modem is ZTE as well

is it ur 1st time to reach 1.2MBps as a POWER subscriber?

what was ur max speed before this?

First time on the E220 3.6MBps, before this I've only seen this kind of performance on Internet2go.
Where's your location? Speed test result to share?

Dude

Port Forward HAS ZERO IMPACT. I've tried it. It does nothing. Your ZTE is already a router. What you are doing is well just waste of time and resources. I dont port forward at all , cause its the same .But if you use Internet2Go , then yes all ports are UNBLOCKED. When I say UNBLOCKED , you are free !

So in short, are you suggesting that the BEST Wireless BB at the moment can only be achieved by:

1) Get someone to takeover the account...
2) PURCHASE an AIRCARD
3) GET INTERNET2GO or CELCOM HSDPA

Forget about VPN as since there is no BLOCKING... then P2P should be an open highway.....

Yes , I mean I've seen crazy speeds with Internet2Go

I can proof it , you see Internet2Go users are using an APN called unet (for 3G/HSDPA) and net (for GPRS/EDGE). For Maxis BB its all maxisbb. They give higher priorities first to Internet2Go users. Don't trust me fine (I think JW has conducted a test as well) , just get a friend to connect to 3G/UMTS/HSDPA and ask him to surf the net or download something (make sure you are connected to the same tower) , you'll notice your speed drops. I mean it drops. If there are more Internet2Go users on that tower , you'll notice the speed starts to crawl. Ask him to stop , you'll notice it goes up back. Plus it gets even slower if people use that tower to make 3G Video calls , etc. So yeah.....Maxisbb is given the lowest priority of all other services. They are interested in businessman who uses his phone as an Modem and regular customers who are into SMSing and Chatting.

3.6Mbps* can be only achieved if they set up a Dedicated Cell tower just for Broadband. Doubt they do that


*- You'll never get 3.6Mbps , but then you'll get around 2Mbps++

Ok... I'll try to conduct your theory this weekend in Kepong and share the results... if this is true then can we all delete the previous 2 days thread and start a new one called "MAXIS WBB free account TRANSFER - reason: Migrating to Moscow"

Last night I think is because of the maxis ISP network down , ZTE modem (192.168.0.1) page was showing connect at HSPDA mode , but browse IE will give the error page like what u r mentioned.

1.2MBps ? 200KByte / second, yup this is the 1st time I can reach this speed as a power package subscriber (b4 October, I am still 768kbps subscriber who paid RM98/months).

B4 this 200KBps , like I mentioned 1-20KBps which inconsistent for BT after 1.00AM - 6.00AM. Average was 11KBps.

guys,

i just received my E220 with unlimited package. im staying at desa tasik, bandar tasik selatan. but this is what i got...




even not up to 384kb... any comments?

I am an Internet2go user , its an unlimited data plan for maxis and you can request 2 SIM card for just 1 line. Its called multi-Sim.

Anyway, my speed can reach up to 350 KB/s download every time. It doesnt matter you are using Bitcomet / FTP or even Http. Its fast.

But, I am having a very serious problem with the broadband.

When i surf any website , all the image file will become very low quality , just like 256 colours...I dunno why it happened but when i switch to celcom,everything is fine...

Anyone has an idea why is it so?

You're on UTMS 2bar signal.... no good, sometimes, even EDGE could be much faster and stable than what you are having. Perform speedtest to verify. If it is confirm that your area is not cover in the 3.5G area, I suggest that you return the package while you are still on the trial period, else, you probably end up surfing and downloading in some open "taman".

Hmmm... bandar tasik selatan? Condo? Well still the same advice, confirm the coverage fast, I think they only allow 7 days trial. Good luck!

By the way, I'm now in SS24 sitting in a car online and speed was not good 4 the first 15 minutes but now seems ok...


Manage to torrent more than 25KBps (w VPN)...

im sitting at near windows and found out i got 3 bars of HSDPA.. this is the results of speedtest.net



i also check maxis websites and yup.. my area is supported for hspda. but i live at 8th floor. could that be the caused? im thinking of getting downstairs and try the speedtest again..

anyway, how many bar should i get in order to get a 1.8mbps? thanks...

I'm always with 5bar HSDPA and I've not seen anything above 1.5MBps. As we all been in discussion here (read all previous thread), there are still too many factors involved in understanding why we are paying for 3.6MBps when we can only get avg 500Kbps.... :shakehead:

Finally Maxis pissed me off today. I go outside watching TV and when I go back to my room, I found that my monitor got those flickering. I quickly check my network type and it drops to EDGE. I call Maxis customer service and spoke to 1 of the people there. They ask me try to place my modem to another location and shut down my modem for 20 minutes then try to on it back again after 20 minutes. This is sick, every time I call the customer service that is the solution they give me. "Sir, you shut down your modem for 20 minutes and restart it back, I will do a location reset for you." I think this is kind of insulting, they treat me like I'm those retard. Worst come to worst, I'll just walk in to KLCC this friday and terminate the service. I know we got 18 months contract thing but how you can stand for it. You paying so much for them and they giving so much problem. We as consumer have our rights to claim that. Anyone else having the same problem?

Do share the outcome, if u manage to do so... i'll definately follow suit...

is this a joke from maxis? damn, already starting to piss me off..

from the speedtest i can manage to get 45kbps download, and 30kbps upload... its a way too far from 384kbps that i should get... i dont understand, i can get 3 bar of hspda but the speed is very dissappointing...

i got this e220 from my company to enable me to tunnel to my office servers.. but with the speed, i dont think my vpn would work well.... very dissappointing... eh, no maxis technical personnel in lowyat.net aaa?!?! how come this kind of things happen???

You also disapointed with the service Maxis providing. What is your problem and did you make any complaint to them?

i can't trust speedtest.net right now.

been getting around 100+ kbps there upload and 50+ download.

but then my torrent and direct download tells vice versa.torrent constant 50kBps and direct download 40~60kBpb.

so..which one is correct?
