only select the WCDMA only when ur network type is HSDPA

As I said, Maxis made some major screw ups when setting up their network.
This caused some major bottlenecks in our connections.
And their hardware also cannot meet the demand of customers.

Furthermore, Maxis is the first ISP in the world to use HSDPA technology.
So of course, they are the pioneers and have to bear through all the problems firsthand without any experience or help.

So it's not like they just gonna leave us to rot like TMnut's screamyx.
I believe they will find a solution to fix the problem.

My only concern is: Why they take such a long time to realise such a serious error?

Are you sure that Maxis is the 1st ISP providing HSDPA technology in the world. As I know, there are many other ISP providing HSDPA technology. I agree with what you say that why they take such a long time to realise a serious error. My personal opinion is that they realise it but no one bother to take any action on it. I really hope they can fixed the error/problem as fast as possible.

They said they will fully integrate . It was only ready in September 2006. So they were not the first. I am not sure facts from wikipedia are correct or not. Unless you have the exact date when they did launch the HSDPA service , do let me know

This is my speedtest for today at 3.22pm.
Weather = Thunderstorm

Speedtest @ Singapore


Speedtest @ Cyberjaya


Speedtest @ Penang


I will update more speedtest result later on. =)

Ok, it's like this.
I think other companies long time ago already implement HSDPA in their networks, but Maxis is the first to sell HSDPA as an alternative to home broadband.
This is totally different from catering to just laptop users only.
They have to set up the networks differently.
Actually it's quite stupid to try and replace home broadband with HSDPA, considering that the theoretical speeds for HSDPA is already so limited.
I don't think HSDPA was ever meant to replace home broadband, it's just for laptops on the go only.

if theres maxis wired broadband, do go for it. u can do everything with it.

for other ISP like jaring, i dun have any experience with them.

and the 3.6mbps speed is ALMOST impossible to get as of now.maxis screwed up,been slow for these couple of weeks.

but well, atleast maxis hears our complains, unlike stimix which just dun bother

i just hope maxis can get msn working and increase our surf speed.

Lord_Destructo , I agree with you. HSDPA is meant for professionals and not meant for Home Broadband. Its meant for those busy businessman who travel up and down the North-South Expressway or who jump one place to another and needs on the go internet connection. For them , they prefer a reliable and somewhat fast Internet Connection. They could not be bothered if the latency is high or low (although some of them do as there are many demanding application which needs low-latency). But then I think HSUPA + HSDPA (I am not sure what its called , HS something something) might replace Home Broadband. For now we are getting there

Maxis is just excited to roll the new technology without researching thoroughly. They might have done their homework but then as you all know our Malaysian Mentality ™..When its stated 3.6Mbps. All of us do expect to get 3.6Mbps

Oh , I can't wait for the 7.2Mbps/14.4Mbps rollout. I know its not possible to achieve that high speed but then who knows...


I think TM Streamyx customer care is much more better then Maxis. At least they listen to you. Maxis loves to do assumptions such as your PC is hit by spyware and I've advised to them to open up certain ports , msn needs a direct connection. Oh well....

They really gonna have 7.4 or 14.4 Mbps connection?
If got, I super happy leh.......

And you say the Streamyx customer care better ?
So far the Maxis service has been very good to me.
They never question my own computer most of the time.

Anyone know about maxis " fair usage policy" , did they really implemented it?

And is the Hua Wei modem provided by maxis is locked for maxis sim card only?

They say got this "fair usage policy", but so far it has never affected me, even if my downloads exceeded 3GB, i never noticed any differences.

And I think the modem IS locked for Maxis only

I see. Thks for the info

hello !!

mind to post the pics of 5m USB extention with booster ???
im an E220 dude

the 3GB thing has been removed, it is posted on one of these LYN thread, i forgot which one though...
even before they removed it, all my fren that have exceeded 3GB did not be banned by Maxis, and btw, they say that the 3GB is only for p2p connection...
for now, maxis got damn lot of problems...
my case reaches 7 working days today, but it seems that my problem is still unfix
sometimes it really makes me no mood when i think of paying RM98 for something like this....

Yay! Maxis fix the MSN problem already!

See, you can trust Maxis to fix things!

Actually I'm not so sure is it MSN problem fixed or not coz I can connect to MSN without using TOR. Anybody else having the same situation as me. I hope is not area dependent.

me too.. i dun need TOR to connect to MSN.. have been working well all the while.. i'm only having problem connecting to certain sites, as well as loading pages with photos..

What sites you can't load? Can't load or slow? Mind to list down the site.

Mine does not work still

Keep in mind , not using Official Client and never will. I'll try later on Winblows..Maybe Maxis loves Winblows to see if it connects or not
