I'm in Damansara Utama area, and Maxis Wireless is the best for me, as I am getting internet connection all by myself.

Don't want the hassle of getting Streamyx and phone line.

Over budget.

Is there any DU people here that is using Maxis wireless?
How is the speed?

I think I've found out by crashing the router. They can't do many things. At the moment my modem is hung. I did that trick and bam i have found some speed improvement.

you'll pay more..Not RM 98

RM 98 + gov tax + RM 5 for the bill and that RM 15 for line rental

Breaking News

I am downloading a DVD (as we speak) and I've found out that once you reach 3GB (i assume its 3 or so) the download gets super slow ...It does not go beyond 384Kbps (aka 40 Kilobytes/sec) , currently its hovering around 5-10..Using VPN also does not break this. It seems that my Internet is going slower and slower. I asked my friend who is using maxis and he said that he does not have any sort of slowness. Can someone confirm with me

I also experience with that kind of speed at this time. Do make a complaint to Maxis. I stay at Happy Garden which is near to Sri Petaling.

I do strongly believe that MAXIS is stating the "fair usage policy" as a tactical move to legally allows them to cut you off (mad throttling) your connections when you reached a certain BW usage. But they will never admit it as if u complaint, they just reply "oh, we will reset your connections,sir, please leave your modem off for 15 minutes" which i've heard more than 10 times (as i got throttled off more than 10 times) already. I'm not sure about packages like 384MBps... as it is not consider as UNLIMITED ACCESS package.

Just to let you guys know that my first bill came yesterday and somehow... i only have to pay RM 103.00 instead of the RM138.00/month.... the beakdown did not reveal anything... !!! ..... Hmmm......  ...... dunno whether to call them to clarify or not..... BETTER NOT.... anyone with the similar scenario?

tell u what, u need to complain 5 times a week, yell and shout at them about the problems that u have each time, and don give any face...
then they will solve ur problem

oh..they still didnt do the 3gb limit download rite? Im worry because im about to exceed 2.5gb dnload already...for just 2 days

anyone experience it before? how did they do? terminate our acc?

Mind to specify what package are you guys on - especially those with Speedtest.net result of more than 1000 kbps.  This is interesting to me as I am not able to get those speed at any time.  I am on a 384kbps.  Are you guys on the advance package, how did you manage that speed?

dun tell me the maxis international link is being hit by an earthquake

how did i confirm??? the 20GB limit was via mail reply which i initally send them to enquire about the fair usage policy in the first place.. but they called me earlier today on my 2nd reply mail to them and told me the whole story... my 2nd mail basically was a request to up the limit for my account to 60GBs... so the phone depends on how you think is sort of like a rejection for my request if you like to think so....

20KBps... that is about the range of 256kbps...you take 256/8 and you'll get 32kBps...which is theoractically the max you can archieve...frankly.. i stayed up quite late yesterday and downloads (not p2p) was able to linger around the 30kBps mark... i have already done more than 25GBs by the 1st week of march and the capping will surely have came active but i only started to feel it when i reach almost 40GBs which is quite close to the date they say they implemented it...

daytime not really up to mark which is usual because when it was uncapped... daytime speed sucks a bit as well... that is what i noticed from my own personal monitoring...  i recently used a nifty small add called bandwidth monitor pro on my pc which can log bandwidth usage therefor i know it even though i am not there looking at it...

actually i have never achieved 150kBps before on my RM78 package... i only got as high as 70+kBps stable.. 256kbps is not acceptable by anyone.. let's face it... we are all downloaders and leechers... nothing is ever enough for us...
obviously i think you haven't read my post properly and i dun blame you.. it's a bunch of mess even when i look at it myself...

100GB limit was pre 14th March and the 20GB limit was post 14th March...the cap limit confirmed by them was 256kbps @32kBps...

How much further could they upgrade?
If you see it the right way now... their problem is not HSDPA limiting us @ 3.6mbps... even if they give us 7.2mbps modems it will not help as well... the problem lies in their backbone which could not sustain so many of us requesting for high bandwidth at the same time... so their next step will most probably increase their backbone out of malaysia... i don't know about the broadcast towers... but whatever the weak link from the broacast tower to us is not bad enough to cause this problem as much as their backbone... it happens to all ISP even TM...  and they know it...

frankly... this month is the first time i call customer service after the usual hotline that i call can't give me a real answer on the throttling issues...

i have already suggested to them to have all this posted on maxis.com.my/maxisbb front page so everyone knows about this...this way they can put down a black and white that this is happening... and if we find that something else is happening we can screw them directly...

Count me in   
Although I'm just Basic package cannot expect much in speed but...at least keep the connection more stable lol. I always keep disconnecting. 

this is one of the point i was thinking about too... 20GBs of capping over the 3 different packages is not fair... of course the 384kbps package will reach the limit later followed by the 640kbps package and then the worst will be the power package users... they should employ capping differently based on packages...

frankly i am saying this as i am an end user too... i don't work for maxis and i have no relations to maxis in any way at all...
mind exposing who is the idiots so that we can go give them a good stabbing....
you better have a whole chart of the speed over the month 24 x 7... just several days won't be enough to give your case a strong enough backing...unless you can show them your bandwidth chart that trully sucked from the 1st of the month till the 31st of the same month... and you better do it now before they notice the users about the capping in black and white... if not you will get stuffed in your face once more by them....

my reasoning... if your chart did show your connection did not achieved at least 70% of what they promised from start to end month... then it is a technical fault on their side...if it did at any point achieved what they promised (this is another story which i will tell you later below) then both sides are not at wrong... if they get this capping BS out in time before you submit your complains to the MCMC or whatever consumer trade council, you are also screwed because if they do notify customers of new policies then they are not totally at wrong...

okay.. back to the point if you do achieve some certain amount of speed (which i guess you did cos u downloaded 8Gs a day at some point)...then this will need to be tied to a SLA (service level agreement) to make your complaint work, i did not see at any point in the document that mentions there has to be a stated amount of throughput during any time of the day only service availability...the SLA, they will have to note in black & white the promised speed/throughput to you as the customer and the variation of performance during a certain period of time acceptable to the customer...service availability and many other things among the agreement...this however does not exists in between us and the isp...

only leased line subscribers do have the power to request for an SLA between them and the ISP because they are paying high $ for it... it can cost up to our 10 years worth of payment for a power package just to pay them 1 month for a 4mbps and above leased line ... in the end, maxis will just come and hit you with the damn phrase that everyone hates <speed is "based on a best effort basis">....with an sla agreement.. you can screw them up if you have the evidence that the performance that is guaranteed in the SLA is not achieved at any point in time...

this is my view... once again i am not related to maxis and i don't want you to blow your whistle over this... i am just a normal consumer who had his first experience with a wireless broadband provider and i have gotten tired of arguing with the ISPs that i have previously used...but never the less  fromwhat you shown us from mcmc is a good thing to use in case we want to get out of the termination contract

if you do intend to go to mcmc about this... please do get the facts as straight as possible before you do so or you will just get stuffed like a dummy...cause i do think maxis do have certain relations with them if they are that important...

boy did they read their rules just nicely...which they did ngam-ngam @ 256kbps

"broadband access service" means an always-on bandwidth service that has a downstream capacity in excess of 256kbps
i don't know what you meant by disconnection? mind sharing so we can help you out...

disconnection as in totally no radio transmission at all? the ppp connection keeps dropping? or HSDPA keep falling back to UMTS?
