Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	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....

U can get it in LowYat. Attached image(s)

Technically it doesn't "boost" the signal, all the 5m extention does is to; (1) enables you to place it at the most strategic area in your house/comdo (2) it also reduce the "human movement" inteference where some estimate to be around 2dBm~4dBm (=1bar signal). To Cloudstrife07: Do reconsider your plans, as we all been buzzing about here, Maxis is getting there (slowly) but not there yet. I kinda regret that i signed up for the E220 RM138 package instead of getting an aircard w Internet2go package. I heard that there will be a few new WBB ISP by year end. I reckon you should wait and see.... like myself, i can only wait and pray.....

This will help those lack of 3G signal but willing to jump off the building for a single bar of HSDPA (like myself ) Read more: http://www.poyntingdirect.co.za/ProductInf...K-LPDA-A0021-01 Attached thumbnail(s)

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	QUOTE(wr6969 @ Oct 17 2007, 12:08 PM) After you see the price of the antenna plus the antenna connector, you will come to the conclusion that you're better off just buying a new datacard with a proper external antenna connector, and buying an antenna for it The E220's biggest weakness is its lack of an external antenna port. Agreed. Therefore, it is an alternative solution to those who is already on board on the E220 18-month ship, taken for a ride of their lifes with Maxis . If you can choose, then stick with those without tie-up contract as WBB is still a new in Malaysia. Added on October 17, 2007, 12:42 pmIt is like; "Spend more to get more out of something which is not much at the moment." concept. This post has been edited by JWCheah: Oct 17 2007, 12:42 PM

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	Been having a really bad 2 days with the WBB USB. So I called Maxis to give them a piece of my mind. Luckily for them, they quickly admit that they have been having downtime at their end for the past 1 week, reason why we only see this problem in the last 2 days becoz it has been covered up by the "balik kampung" fever. They say that it should be resolve in the next couple of hours as they have been doing testing on the whole entire Friday. Hmmm..... bagi chance lagi sekali..... To all those WBB USB who isn't sure why 5-full bars performance could not be reflected on the speedtest, you can use the E620/220 tool for measuring the signal in dBm (Click here http://www.nerve.org.za/e620tool/). This tool kinda show some light on to the signal measurement like the ones in the ZTE MF600 RSSI figures. Please note that the default Maxis Connect software will show 5-full bar for any signal better than -80dBm (which is just so-so considering <-60dBm you can achieve 600KB/s to 1.2MB/s; area dependant). It is also confirmed that all Maxis current WBB user and mobile phone user are in one mixed up pot as both share the common root system. This is because Maxis WBB is still new and they are utilizing the existing system infrastructure to accommodate us as the total subscibed WBB is still small.... ....... So they unofficial comment is and will always be; "Errrr.... wait-lah, coming soon.... ". Note that Internet2go is not included in this pot as they are in a league of their own (lucky bast*rd)

We are paid customer and sometimes their "solution" is so lame and stupid, it kinda treat us like pasar malam buyers. To those who works there and is reading this thread, no offence but hey, please do treat us with a bit more respect as the product (WBB 3.6MBps) we are talking about here is consider to be top of its range and ppl don't subscribe to 3.5G to read CNN. By the way I've notice the improvement today, manage to torrent at 20 to 50 KBps (now raining) since 1:00pm. I do think that if there is enough ppl making their voice heard by the rest, it could push for a better performance. So keep on shouting and hope we can wake them up a little bit.

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	I'm using Utorrent, but the I kept on changing the settings until I get a constant 10KBps, then let it run and monitor it for the next 15 minutes, sometimes it will start flying to 70~80KBps after 5 minutes. Bear in mind that now it is raining cats and dogs here at DesaParkcity and i can even watch ASTRO (services currently not available). Here's my results : Added on October 20, 2007, 3:06 pmSorry, typo error, I can't watch Astro at all for the last hour.

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	Yeah I know what you mean, that is why I'm segregating the factors to really see the "real" speed and application. I think the weather factor is not that great as we know the user's source comes from the base station. Like now, clear sky after rain my speed is drastically low as compared before. Download speed has been reduced to 5~16KB/s. My results: Attached thumbnail(s)

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	Actually there is still too much unknown, getting an excellent connection (>1.5MBps d/l u/l) of course would make gaming and torrenting so much easier. But I've been testing the lines lately and I was able to achieve d/l >250KBps for more than 3 hours.... and the speednet results only shows D/L 300KBps U/L 100KBps (using HTTP tunnelling). But I was unable to repeat the results. Still trying to understand more.

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	Got some questions for other USB/ZTE WBB user out there; 1) Can you torrent during daytime and what's the speed like? 2) How about the night time? 3) Gamers, has anyone achieve "good" latency? What are the games that can and can't play using WBB? Prasys: I think there is a need to compile all the feedbacks to truly understand the system's capability. We got to start somewhere.

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	I'm also studying the IP pattern but so far cannot 100% determine it yet. For example, IP address of 121.120.A.XXX: Certain A value like 240 & 245 seems to be very stable (this includes the latency <150ms), I cannot explain it in terms of logic (which makes no sense at the moment) but during those no/poor BT period, I've tried re-connect until my ideal A value, and BOOM.... the Torrent started running with the green tick without changing any values (this happens of 3 diff occasion). Any similar sigthings you guys plan to share?

Getting Started Junior Member 251 posts Joined: Sep 2007	QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Oct 21 2007, 05:27 PM) I dont torrent at all.For gaming,i play a game call Dawn of War:Dark Cursade.Things arent really good.The NAT ports are blocked by Maxis and thats results people cant join the game that i have host and i cant play any Automatch games.I only can join games because the UDP 6112 port is not blocked.Btw,the server that i play is in US.Ping can go up to 1000. Is there anything i can help in testing the system? The thing is that I realise that even when we are talking about the same application/games, not all share the same answer. This is what I think; (1) For Torrent : I dun think that THEY only blocked P2P for a certain user and open it up to some, it doesn't make sense as it should all be under the same system. (2) For Gaming : I dun do gaming, so cannot comment on the poor inconsistence latency, so would someone with tips and pointers please comment further.
