Eh the USB modem say 3.6 Mbps, real wan or not?
I call up Maxis, they say it's the same as normal modem only.
Don't try trick people leh.
All this 3.6 Mbps is only peak speed, which is purely theoretical. Impossible to achieve wan.

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!

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

Yay! Maxis fix the MSN problem already!

See, you can trust Maxis to fix things!

We have no option for a few reasons:
1. Streamyx fix line way too expensive
I spend less money per month using Maxis wireless BB and maxis hp. (I use hp very little, heh.)
If i use streamyx, i have to pay for both streamyx and the fixed land line rental.
So more, that stupid TMNUt keep cutting off my phone line for NO reason until i beh tahan. So I Use totally Maxis.

2. You think TMNut will improve services in the future?
Until now also their broadband packages so sucky. Other nations improve to 5Mbps everage. Our one 1Mbps average.

3. People are trying to show disapproval to TMNut. We pay them so much,
their employess pocket everything, until now also their services never improve one bit.

I'm not saying wireless BB is better, it's just that TMNut is lousier.

"Nope , they are not the same

The Internet2Go packages gives you a different IP Range which is unblocked and which is 'free' from any of their crap. Its pretty much worth it you ask me ."

I saw the Internet2Go in action before.
DAMN FAST MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They put you on a totally different connection from other ZTE modem users, so your speed is undisturbed by other people's usage.

Your's is much more worth it.

But they fixed my msn problem already. I think they will fix yours soon also.

You're right I should be using other better broadband services, but I have to use Maxis for personal reasons which i cannot say here.

And I find you saying that I didn't pay my phone bills very insulting.
I paid all of my TMNut bills on time, but they still cut it for no reason.
After a few weeks of calling and begging, they finally restore the phone line.
A few days later it got cut again, and a few weeks later again only it got repaired to be finally cut off again a few days later.

So I'm a responsible paying customer, but TMNUt keep cutting me off for no reason.

Will Maxis cut your phone line if you continue paying your phone bills on time?
If they do, then I stand corrected.

And yes, TMNut is ahead of Maxis in terms of ISP service overall right now, but I believe with the right technology Maxis can overtake them in the future.
It's because Maxis has a better attitude than the TMNut's GLC protected attitude.

Look at Maxis Landline BB, it's way better than Screamyx. If i had a choice, I'd rather switch to Maxis Land line right now.

Added on October 18, 2007, 12:04 amDon't worry. Currently EVERY SINGLE MAXIS WIRELESS BB also has the same problem.
So it's not your area.
Unless you friend that has no problem uses Maxis wireless BB, then something weird is going on.

Just wait for a few weeks, I hear they (Maxis) are doing some major upgrades in their hardware and software.
They screwed up pretty badly when setting up their networks so now only they take notice.(Which is a friggin long time since this problem has been here since June)

If they don't improve in this few weeks, I advise you to just cancel Maxis wireless BB and change to a better ISP

I can feel your pain man. If you not happy with Maxis, just don't pay them.
I don't know what they can to do you, but i think it's the best way to voice your disapproval.

And about the 2Mbps then 20kbps thing, also experience the same thing. Currently, as I speak, I'm having no problems whatsoever buffering youtube videos(insta-play).
However, got other times need to wait 30 minutes just to buffer 5 minutes video.
I think it all depends on how many other users there are at the moment.

Aiseh.....good thing you got one week period to return your modem.
You should've check out the forums before getting Maxis WBB.
Their service is DISAPPOINTING. So far every single Maxis WBB customer on lowyat have endless complaints about Maxis WBB.
The speed they advertise is technically not false, but extremely misleading, because it is the peak speed of their technology.
Probably you'll only get that sorta speed for half-a second every now and then.

I'm still waiting to see whether they're capable of improving their speeds in the next few weeks when they do their upgrades.
