And it is still popular out there hehehe... I think it is a very 'hackable' device...

Don't think so bro. Maybe upgrade the software algorithm to enable higher speed like how it did from 3.6 to 7.2. I'll try to find out more about the tweaks those underground guys are doing. Maybe can shed some light into the topic.

My company blocks too. But that why we get 3G modems

I'm able to configure my browser to only use that 3G connection to limit exposure. So if I hit any websites or things that are blocked internally, I'll just take out my 3G modem. Of course, you do it discreetly.

I'm using Firefox. Go to Tools > Options > Network Tab > Settings > Set to No Proxy. Most companies uses a proxy server and they manage internal computer's access to the outside world. So you set to No Proxy so that it will just use whatever that is connected to the PC.

But I seem to have a problem using this method because my company mail will stop coming. I tried setting the outlook to use IE's proxy settings, still no go. It seems to be confused when Maxis Broadband is connected. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Strange, it worked for me. Try a check one by one (settings for each browser) and which one is the default.

my capped speed after 1.73GB bandwidth usage. i'm on 1.5GB package...huhu

i've got 10+kbps download from rapidshare 

Damn maxis, the 130Kbps is really low after capped. You have to remember that you start from 7200Kbps and you get capped till this low after exceeded only little bit after 1.5GB (1.73Gb right?)
So, effectively, you are paying RM48 for 130Kbps per month which the worst i suspected has happened.

I think they would not dare to do that. 130kbps (kilobits per second) is already slow.

It is about 130/8 = 16.83KB (kilo byte) per second like what your download speed is . Can still surf net and check mail lar but got other more attractive packages like U-Mobile RM68 for 5GB data volume and 384 Kbps after cap which is double the speed of 130Kbps. Or better, Wimax 5GB capped size with 400 kbps after capped which only cost RM49 per month.

I guess Maxis 7.2 Mbps big hooha is just a gimmick and not so much different than other operator.

what you want to know about the Mobile Partner?
1 thing i can share is i got Mobile Partner, also with Maxis Broadband dashboard installed in the laptop.
I never upgrade firmware for Mobile Partner for my E1762, (don't want to take risk to upgrade firmware by myself )
I just use my friend modem (E220) which is bought outside ( not maxis ) to install the mobile partner dashboard.

Found out when i use Mobile Partnet to connect, mylaunchpad will NOT launch the website automatically.
Maybe you all can search from google where to download Mobile Partner which is support all huawei modem, should be able to use it to connect.
Anyway make sure Maxis broadband dashboard is turn OFF auto launch application in the option, when you plug in the modem.
Make the Mobile Partner to default dashboard to connect.

Where's the location? Awesome speed 

I'm using Celcom's. No website launch

How to turn OFF the auto launch for maxis dashboard? Pls teach me as I can't find that option in my maxis dashboard. thx

Hello ? Anyone knows the details for the latest promotion for the maxis broadband which is about Rm38/Month ?

Could it be the RM78 (-RM30) for the 1st 5 months offer ? Then it's the same thing.

Very nice speed My best readings from location was only 320kB/sec after 15 minutes. I love Maxis's broadband. Even on peak times, I can get pretty good speed of around 2-3Mbps.

My preferred modem is the E1762
