switch from celcom to maxis broaband..
izit a wise choice?

area : bukit jalil

highest i reached was 12GB (no screenshot as i'm using other laptop last time) .. i can assure you that 3GB bandwidth cap was a crap/myth. but i do recall in their T&C, it's stated that capping start after 20GB.

never reach 20GB tho because of their pathetic speed.


wow, i'm thinking of buying USB modem and do my downloading in office. is it near TPM?


it is a retarded choice --- if you didn't test for maxis connection first. borrow la from someone or ask people around your neighbourhood first.

Welcome to slow broadband Malaysia.

Nice to see another forumer from Pasir Puteh, Ipoh Central

That speed is even slower then snailmix.There is no use complaining.HSDPA is highly subscribed here.
622ms response it hardly suitable for gaming and live streaming.
You can forget about voice over IP and the video conferencing.

You have 2 choices:

1) Wait for P1 WIMAX

2) Get a phoneline and use wired broadband instead.

Surprisingly I'm getting stable 1200kbps-1600kbps in the midlle of Ipoh!! I'm currently staying @ Hotel New Caspian.

This is the highest..tested < 2min ago..



Probably u all using Maxis broadband instead of Maxis 3G?..

^ hey, i'm -lazy- to load other pages because da connection now is slower than running saliva

what did you use? 3g handphone or modem? i'm getting bad result using my K800i

Yeap..I'm on 3G & not BB. Fed-up of using N78 as Modem & bought Huawei E156G...no more handphone as a modem after this...

--this one?--

sleek and hilang-able

Yeap that's the one...worry of getting lost always there but really that powderfull!!...For eg...my N78 can't get HSDPA but I'm getting HSDPA using this modem!

300+ looks expensive. i'm getting E220 if performance doesn't differ much. what'd you say?

New tech wth xtra RM50 is a good deal compare to the dinasour buggy E220..sumore E156 or the older E160 is having a better internal antenna compare wth E220

ah, i'm confused now. using ZTE Modem. my broadband simcard inside it, is it locked?

locked - can only be use with that ZTE Modem

other than that choice?? make it more fast than now??

From your speedtest result it's very likely you're just on 3G UMTS and not HSDPA.
The ping rate is unusually high which further adds to this conclusion.

What modem do you use?

If it's a HSDPA capable modem try bringing your laptop to somewhere in the middle of Ipoh and retest.
Probably where Stimix did his test near Jln Yang Kalsom.

yes umts. i use maxis modem

I dont even understand why the maxis bb performance in my area (UTM Skudai) is so bad..
the network always drop down to GPRS from WCDMA and sometimes it stated HSDPA but the speed is so ridiculous.
Anyone having same problem like me?

FYI, this is my first time using the broadband service and tell me, what do you think about my 1st impression on our ISP??
all i can say is they just like a leech.keep on sucking our RM w/o benefiting us..any comment from the floor

U are staying at those blind spot area...no choice..probably upgrade your modem to hi-gain USB modem of buy ext antenna (Search in ebay or garage sale..not cheap)..Or switch to 3G instead of BB...so far less complain on those wth 3G compare to BB
