Downloading torrents will ALWAYS be a problem. One of the solution is to get a VPN or you can buy a RapidShare / MegaUpload account. I'm also using MaxisBB (Starter Package - RM68/month) and my dl speed via RapidShare right now is about 20 - 45 kBps.

Which package are you on?

Dude, i got that modem as well. it's the b932 black modem. I had it for 1+ day now and can't seem to connect to maxis network at all. Maxis' website says my area has BB coverage, and last week maxis opened up a booth <200m from my place, promoting maxis broadband and they all used the USB modem for their laptop.

Im guessing i can only use usb modem in this area. I emailed maxis CS and still no answer (before i subscribed w/ maxisBB, they call me back before the day ends...hmmmm )

Tried adjusting some settings in the modem. I only get green icon for SIM and 5-bar signal, If i choose "GSM Only" under "NETWORK Setting". I tried searching for network manually, found some 2Gs, 3Gs but when I tried to logon to it, page says "Registering network failed".

IF there's still no call from maxis by the end of the day, im going to visit our friendly friends at the maxis center.

peace

P/S: any1 can give some advice on the matter above...really appreciate it.

Still can't believe that I can get this speed at Port Klang

However avg downloading speed only 270kps or 2160kbps... Nevertheless downloading a 35MB file only took me ~45sec compare to streamyx at 1min30min..

A real suprise...probably result from the MAXIS losing battle wth MNP

However this speed only achievable using Huawei E156G USB Modem. If I use Nokia N78, the speed go bck to UMTS i.e 380kbps!!

@stimix

seriously the speed is REALLY improving right now. day time i managed to get over 50~70kBps download, which is really improved from 20~30kBps last time. probably because of the pressure maxis gets from consumers?

^ & ^^ shh, you guys should stop giving out speed test. continue with the bashing on Maxis and later on more people will unsubscribe. mua

12510kbps?! (since when maxi$ so kind?? )

btw, what modem u using??

er guys.. i already email maxis center. they say, if i wan to use wireless, can but the service is not supported from 7th floor and above. well guess what, i'm staying at Menara Duta,6th floor. what a headache! n my area does not cover HSPDA speed....sux man. i wan to apply this, since others not so convincing either...anyone can enlighten me more? i'm really confuse rite now...

This Morning even crazy..I'm getting 17,000kbps!! OMG I dunno want to believe speedtest result or not...actual speedometer via huawei proprietary software only show 275kb or 2200kbps only



BTW, I'm using Huawei E156G USB modem. Tested using Nokia N78 at same location & I can't even getting HSDPA speed ...So at this moment & based on my personal testing, Using Nokia phone for HSDPA sxxks!

My Maxis package is postpaid + unlimited 3G (RM99)

so u r using int2go plan right? mmg sooooo laju...i'm using it too..

but ur's very fast one...

Not sure the actual package but it is postpaid + unlimited 3G at RM99. Last Weekend, I added RM15 to get a multi-SIM card so that I can use 2 SIM on the same number.. ...Suprisingly shocking...Should hv bought the ext Modem long time ago!..I though it's the line but it was the Phone modem that's sxxks!!

However I still doubt the result from speedtest...so much diff from the Huawei software speedo

haha, this is because so many people switch to celcom broadband because it perform better before.. but now, celcom gain too many customer (in 3rd quarter 2008, celcom broadband subsribers already exceeding maxis broadband subsribers).

so, celcom performance is down (due network congested) .. and maxis performance up (due to less users) .. so, why dont we divided into two groups.. half of us using maxis, while another half using celcom.. then all of us enjoying fair performance lol.. soon when digi launch their 3G services, more choice for us.

about MNP, i dont think its giving any major impact.. i know maxis already lost more than half a milion customers (according to some internal informer) after MNP launched.. but its only less than 5% of their total subsribers. and these users are mainly using gsm network (for voice services only), not 3g or data services.

my (pinjam) maxis 3.5g only 11xx kbps at subang area

okay, i got myself a maxis BB, power mobile usb. the good news, i got a HSPDA network speed....bad news is that, i get to online only in my room. which kinda sux. btw, here's the speed test..my god..this is from the 6th floor of one of the most expensive condos in segambut.

I was told that Maxis BB is not as stable & shared line compare to Maxis 3G tied to postpaid which is unlimited..Probably this the reason why so many conmplains on BB? Sorry mine is not BB it's 3G unlimited

yeah, i heard it too.. most people said maxis 3g (mobile internet) got better performance compare to maxis broadband users...

i can't confirm this as i only able to get 2-5KBps download speed using my maxis postpaid + K800i. at exact same spot as my ZTE modem which managed to achieve 50-60KBps

using a phone as a modem is not a good idea. it is very unstable as it frequently got disconnected especially when receiving a call..

stimix, how much u paid every month for the internet2go?

also, how much is the starting cost to own one? including deposit, modem etc.

Maxis postpaid + 3G phone. call them and ask for unlimited internet package (or internet2go, whichever)

that's all.

is the 3gb/ month cap for real? i just got the broadband yesterday and already using up .5GB. this doesnt even make sense and i wanna return it before my 7 day free trial period ends. i use bolehvpn to download torrents but not sure if that can avoid the cap. advice?
