That means you are under coverage. So if your 3g phone shows UMTS/3G . You can use their maxis broadband services.

Hehe....today the maxis employee call me up to remind me that that they are working on the problem even during Raya.(true or not?)
They say Maxis contacting Microsoft to solve the problem.
I told them some customer already bypass the problem by himself and he's on low yat forum.
So they say they will check out low yat forum as well.
Maxis kena pwn by own customer! haha!

They call you. Hope they really fixed the problem.

i just wanna check with you guys, i have aleady installed the TOR and not i tried to dl BT but it was block...does it mean i have to turn it off and get it done before i turn it on??

BT is block during day hour its only open 1 am to 6 am. if u using tor to torrent yes it work. but it is very slow. im using it during day hour only after that using direct maxis not tor

you need to configure tor for proxy. I'll post up the guide later. Just point it to the socks server. It should work but its going to be very slow

Hi,
Really appreciate the sharing about the Tor from prasys, can connect to hotmail and msn messenger now.

But using Tor really affecting the connection speed just like prasys mentioned. After around 1/2 an hour, the network will change to gprs. Any way to over come this? Can i use Tor to connect to msn messenger then right after it's connected i shut down the Tor? Will the network stick to hsdpa with this way?

eh why some ppl cant connect through msn and hotmail while i can? juz curious (using maxis 368 package)

Dunno why leh....Just freaking weird.
This problem only affect certain users, and all not same area so more.

Nope it does not work. Tor must be on. Like I said change the modem to WCDMA only. It works that way. Dont put WCDMA preferred.

FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR SUNWAY AREA:
don even bother to subscribe the service, i have been using it for nearly 2 week, but hardly( only twice, bout 5 mins each time) get higher then 1mbps
i called and called the bloody helpline, all they can do is help to open a case
i call till my phone credit also used up like RM80...
in my area, until now, MSN issue still exist and speed is still horribly slow since i start using
that's why, ppl near sunway area, don even bother to subscribe this service, it's a total kon there

Hi to all,

I'm a E220 USB user. A few additional tips to share;

(1) For user staying above 8th floor (mine's 19th), who is experiencing 4-5bars or lower. Do consider getting a 5m USB extention with booster. This will act as a external antenna (remove s/n losses), this is according to a few Huawei E220 signal issue forums I've found (will post them later).

(2) I've successful d/l BT during daytime (from 10K to 50Kbps) almost 80% of the time. I guess the tracker and type of BT plays a part. I've yet to figure this out. The speed-test may be poor but it does not reflect the BT performance. Cannot explain.

To Prasys;
By using TOR for BT, what is your predicted d/l speed? I've tried it, cannot see any diff, not sure if I'm on the right track. Please advice....

So how is the speed right now? Everything normal/better/worst?

It's not your area. Everyone also kena the same s***.
I heard rumours Maxis is gonna overhaul their entire system in the next few weeks, upgrading both their software and hardware.
If after these few weeks still no change, I advise you change to another ISP.

pretty wierd.since they can offer such excellent service for their wired broadband, why can't they do the same for wireless?

double standard?

i've heard the word "upgrade" many times already on wireless, but none when using maxis wired.

Well using tor does boost a little. But during daytime I limit my downloads to 10kB/s. The main reason is not to 'hog' all the bandwidth. If I do that , bam I get disconnected and reconnection takes a long time. So I rekon those who wants to torrent during the daytime , set the download speed around ~10-15kB/s. Otherwise I've noticed my speed would just suck after that .

my guess is maxis's bandwidth is being outnumbered by the subscribers.. i enjoy great speed too during raya, but this morning, crawling again.. anyway, TOR works for me.. i dont have problem with logging in to windows, and MSN, but certain sites just dont load.. now it works..

Few speedtests

Asia (Japan)


Australia (Perth)


Singapore


Vive La France..C'est Paris (France) (Europe)


United Kingdom (Europe)



North America (USA)


North America (Canada)


South America (Argentina) (Take a look at the upload speed by the way) (I'm not expecting the connection to be good)


Middle East (Saudi Arabia)


Africa (South Africa)



My comment : I do not know why the ping to Singapore is that high.

I'm doing few more tests. I just want to check out their International Link thats all

i m going to stay in kota damansara soon, been amuse by the maxis BB package the one can go up to 3.6mps...

but still worried that it is worst than streamyx....

there is a few reason i option for maxis,

1.i dun need a fix line phone (apply for streamyx need to apply for a land line)

2.streamyx is full for the ports or something in that area....

3. wish to try something different


any1 from that area?

Well read all the reviews in this thread. That will give you a general idea. Don't get carried away with speeds up to 3.6Mbps. Its only achievable under ideal conditions . In other words , its not possible.

So if you are kaki torrent , you can forget it. Apart from that , there are many drawbacks. If you want to do light surfing feel free to choose maxis. Do keep in mind , connecting to MSN is also impossible at this moment.
