that's true... I'm now using streamyx 1mbps but it is slow as snail most of the time. I have been waiting for penangfon to set up in my area but 2 years have passed and it is still under construction.

Just now i saw someone's post that states maxis wireless bb has actually got 20gb bandwidth limit, not the 3gb as stated in term and condition. No idea if it is true though smile.gif Anyway, maxis is not appropriate for me since my family members are going to use broadband for gaming, so it is not wise to drop streamyx for wireless BB...

I saw in prasys blog that streamyx 4GB has very good speed but the rest are snail-like. maybe i will try that out if it is available.

false info. it might be true few months ago, but if you call them now, they will consistently throw the 3Gb FUP to you to justify their speed cap. nothing you say will change that, for now. and see that someone's post date, it was so long ago.

same thing, nothing about maxis bb that can be justified for gaming. i just missed playing my cs:source on steam, sigh.

Ic, maybe I should wait patiently for penangfon smile.gif, the rest, I think i will most probably subscribe to them after 10 years.

Anyway, I will just download as much as I can before I return it to them smile.gif

Is there any Maxis Wireless Broadband users in Universiti Malaysia Sabah? How is the signal and quality? UMS is in Maxis 3G zone, but can this Maxis Broadband be used there?

Checked with maxis website, and it does not include even Sabah or Sarawak. Thanks in advance.

obviously i have reached data usage, and it is on fifth day of my trial period, but my speed is not capped yet... maybe they will cap after i reched maximum trial period...

Any suggestion?

i think it has been said many times b4 by other forumers. nothing bad will happen within trial period. and the same for every isp. during trial period, u r like their 1st gf. after that, u'll be their mistress. when they like u they let u have fun. when they dont, they let u eat bun.

one of Digi broadband happy user here... consistent, reliable and most importantly stable connection... but, it might not suitable for those online gamers due to higher latency than wired broadband....

tats very good to hear. and the speedtest looks just right. high latency is expected, heh. Wimax technology suppose to be able to offer adsl-like latency, unfortunately at this moment our wimax provider are still struggling to meet coverage expectation. hope that once they have sufficient coverage, they will continue to improve their connection quality.

i m really fed up of the Maxis BB connection now...

Now the connection is not only worst..its practically unusable...speeds of 1-2 kb per sec..this has been going on for a week..and i havent even reached my pathetic 3G cap yet

Wat the hell is this..paying every month.. i m going to terminate it right away next week if it doesnt improve..

just wondering if anyone has the same problem recently.

Now I am on DiGi BB, smooth sailing so far...

Already subscribed to DIGI, better latency, better speed and better service and more importantly, higher bandwidth!! 10GB with RM 10 extra charge, lol... Also , the usb modem is free of charge and it is unlocked, unlike that of maxis!
