I'm a Maxis wired broadband user. Recently I was upgraded to 2Mbps from 1Mbps. I also got a free trial for Maxis wireless.
When I connect with the wireless modem, it shows I am connected at 7Mbps. Very good. I thought my speed faster than wired. But when I test with speedtest, it is slower than my wired. So why is this so? Thinking of returning the wireless already |

I also got a free trial for Maxis wireless. simple... 7.2mbps is the rated (super ideal) speed that the wireless network u connected can cater... but as all knows.. all bb providers are as BEST EFFORT BASIS...When I connect with the wireless modem, it shows I am connected at 7Mbps. Very good. I thought my speed faster than wired. But when I test with speedtest, it is slower than my wired. So why is this so? Thinking of returning the wireless already so its all depends on location&congestion... for a medium populated housing area... peak time average 800kbps-1.2mbps non-peak time average 1.8mbps-2.6mbps happy hour (super off peak 2am-6am) time average 3.0-6.0mbps see my signature... thats my personal record for ping, upload, and download under HSPA network |

QUOTE(cruxidex @ Dec 15 2009, 10:49 AM) if you are using Maxis bb prepaid = YES is this info correct? if you are using maxis bb postpaid = NO, just capped speed only this month i have used 35GB already out of my 6GB limit they wont charge extra dont worry Prepaid will be charges for extra usage while for postpaid the speed will only be throttled? |

QUOTE(AskarPerang @ Dec 16 2009, 07:37 PM) is this info correct? for those accessing using maxis mobile sim card (aka mobile internet), you will be charged per kB after the said quota.Prepaid will be charges for extra usage while for postpaid the speed will only be throttled? for those accessing using broadband data only sim card with fixed monthly subscription, no extra charges, only your speed will be throttled. |

i signed up today for the RM38 package at maxis centre time square. It took half an hour for the lady to click and print here and there to subscribe this BB package. Extremely inefficient.
My broadband is activated few hours later. Did a speedtest at my home in cyberjaya with full bar HSDPA, only get 2mbps just now did the test in sunway area with HSPA 4 bars, fluctuating between 2mbps to 5mbps, but unable to complete upload test -.-" Added on December 20, 2009, 3:58 am  This post has been edited by fx_53_xt: Dec 20 2009, 03:58 AM |

Actually wanted to do at Times Square maxis center but the service there is slow and sucks so end up subscribing at low yat plaza. My broadband is activated few hours later. Actually I only wanted the Huawei E1762 modem for RM180. Not really need maxis broadband because I already subscribe to maxis 3G mobile internet package. I will terminate the broadband after the free two months and hopefully there will be no extra charge or penalty fees for the termination. |

Cannot do web browsing or online although the Maxis application shows connected HSDPA. I just subscribed Maxis broadband. After used for 2 weeks, then encountered the problem and till now almost a month already, the problem has not been solved.

I can say that this maxis E1762 modem is good. Can automatic re connect. Can set the limit and other settings. Definitely worth the RM180.

Definitely worth the RM180. i never used other wireless modem before, but during my 3 days testing period, the modem never failed me.  The only thing i don't like is that when my laptop connection is idle, the connection will be like automatically put into sleep mode. When i fire up my browser, it takes about 5 seconds to start working. Probably something common in wireless connection to save power? This post has been edited by fx_53_xt: Dec 22 2009, 11:20 PM |

Open CMD.exe type ping -t wap.maxis.com.my Let the latency ping by itself |
