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?

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.....

Maxis is just yet another sucky isp even worst than TMnut.You are better off giving support to some really good isps like Metrofon or Izzinet.

If everybody jumps ship to Internet2Go, it will just end up being the same as what you're experiencing now.

It took years for TMnet to finally get the kick on managing international pipes, lots of investments too.With the benefit of doubt, say Maxis may be a little more efficient than TM to learn this up in a year or 2.By the time they would have lots of competitors competing neck to neck with them.

You wont say this if you experienced

1. MSN is inaccessable
2. Speed can reach 2.0mbps but can be 20kbps too (At least for mine)
3. Disconnect issue
4. 18 months contract
5. Force customer to package with their modem even it is so lousy (ZTE), i think they should let customer to choose.

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.

I just subscribed to the Power package ausing the USB Modem, a day ago. 3.6Mbps.

Yeah rite.

I'm currently running on 150kbps download and about the same for upload. And I'm paying RM138 per month for this? Adoi. That's not even 10% of published speeds. This is terrible.

I've been a Streamyx user since last year and get pretty consistent 1.4Mbps connection, and thought I'd give Maxis a shot since they've been blatantly publicising 'blazing fast' speeds of 3.6Mbps to the general public.

Got off the phone with technical support to ask about the speeds. The person told me to shutdown my comp and also modem and they would restart my session. No change there.

Anyone getting better luck? There is a 7-day cooling off period, so if I still experience this over the next few days, I am returning the modem and cancelling my subscription.

oh man...prasys...i've tried everything but my dl still won't even move for azureus..is there anything that i need to set or do??...they aren't working at all...but msn hotmail all fine and working after 3 days of torrid time trying to find out the prob...

what's deluge??and btw your name sounds familliar..haha..played ro before??

he admitted that Maxis is using QoS.
