yupss..since digi will launch their 3G service on the 21st...

I guess you're new to Maxis BB

Anyway , things would start to change later once you know maxis' true colours.

huawei E220 usb.. power mobile package. using it for 11 month already.

ya, dc quite frequent lately. this week is the worst, cannot connect at all. 1st i thought the modem was kong, but nope.. i still can connect at my office (KL area). then i thought it must be my home PC, but wrong again coz when using my laptop at home, also cannot connect.

i can only get connected if i set the modem to connect to GPRS. strange huh?

i think i'll wait 4 wimax to cover my home area.. then i'll switch.

hehe.. very true indeed..

hi,

maxis has E960 Wifi Modem and B932 Modem, any chance this has better reception than ZTE... Plan to get one of this to replace ZTE if reception is better...

Thanks

I hv not tried E960/B932 but from my current E156 Huawei USB modem, it's btter than ZTE, bcos recently, MAXIS guy came to my house for checking using ZTE and after checking, told me very bad signal & can't even log-in whereas, once I plug-in using my E156, Signal is acceptable & even getting ~200-450kbps

So new huawei modem probably much better than the older one.

Added on February 20, 2009, 9:23 am@Romramka & others using Maxis 3G internet on the go packages, I think we should not compare further Maxis 3G & Maxis Broadband. I'm not sure of the real tech regarding these 2 which all the while I thought should be the same but after checking wth few Maxis guys, you & others, seems to me Maxis broadband & 3G are entirely diff game...Maxis broadband customers keeps on complaining of line congestion whereas those on 3G (Inc you & me) don't really feel it except going to those blind spots or areas without Maxis coverage.

So those using Maxis 3G should actually discuss in this dedicated Maxis 3G thread?

seems like maxis has really upgraded its service?

im getting fullspeed here in bangi(80kBps++, advanced package). and RSSI isn't blinking anymore. speed dropped to 1/2 during peak hours, but i don't mind that. atleast no more turtle speed and DC.

before this no matter where i put in the house, it's still blinking for the past 4 months.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering, is the fair policy usage is still applied? I called the service centre to complaint about my slow speed, and they said, I've used more than 3GB this month (3GB? I tought 20GB).

Can anyone clarify this?

as far as i know maxis bb limited at 2gb per month

i no think so....this month my maxis usage edy more then 2gb x10

if u use maxis BB = 3gb/month

maxis 3G = unlimited

ya.. seems like they did. i dun hav connection prob anymore since 19/2.. i got better speed somemore..

I do not know that maxis bb has a cap of BW. How about streamyx or celcom bb? Do they have so? I want to try maxis bb, the new huawei E960 in penang. But looking for more info before I hit the button

maxis = 3GB, can be found here: http://maxis.com.my/personal/broadband/termncon.asp



celcom = 5GB, can be found here: http://www.celcom.com.my/cep/xresources/Ce...fair_usage.html



streamyx = unlimited (depends on package)

Thanks cloudstrife07. If we didn't use P2P, I think it's a bit hard to hit over 3GB or 5GB usage per month. What do you guys think? Has anyone reach the limit that is not using any P2P?

Anyone facing error message which says something like

'no answer from remote computer/connection, so the port used are closed. blablabla for Help and More info lablabla'

So some reason i was unable to connect to 3G from one of my office these few days. But previously, i had no problem connecting, the speed is superb.

Called the CS, told me that my office is actually only PARTIALLY 3G COVERED (WTF) thus i was unable to connect. Asked me to used GPRS instead.

After changing the setting for GPRS only, i did manage to connect, but not able to surf the net at all.

.... Geeez...


edit : Perfectly fine to connect from other places. Currently on Maxis 3G connecting from another location...

based on my stupid assumption, i'd say it's because many more people are migrating to Maxis 3G. this is what i tested.

if i'm connecting after 9PM weekdays -- only GPRS, same error msg as you
if i manage to come home from office earlier than 9PM -- walla! WCDMA .. but if i purposedly disconnect after 10pm and try to reconnect, same error msg

i blame this to romram-whatever

How about diverting Maxis 3G conversations to the
Official Maxis 3G/HS 3G Thread thread

don't want, don't care.

i wanted to keep Maxis 3G as a secret thing most people doesn't know about. it failed miserably
