QUOTE(chunf @ Feb 28 2010, 04:01 PM) then all package can get the speed to 3mbps arr? again, maxis website said:  Speed is on best effort basis, up to 7.2Mbps. Speed depends on factors such as modem capability, location, distance from communications tower and number of simultaneous users. why not try with hotlink prepaid first at your place, then only apply. Sometime i can get 1mpbs, sometimes can get 2mpbs  |

QUOTE(karheng @ Feb 28 2010, 09:43 AM) no, that 1 you are saying is different with mine. I subscribe my Maxis broadband at Maxis Service Center in Taiping. They said I only need to pay monthly fees of RM48. Not RM68. And free for 2 months. I also already called Maxis broadband Customer Service, and they also said the same things, my package is free for 2 months and monthly charges just RM48 starting from month 3 onwards. No contract with maxis and I can stop my services anytime that I want. I will test this for 1 month, after one month, if their service did not satisfied me, I will discontinued maxis bb.., but until now.., so far so good... Mine is Home Value, ZTE MF600 ( big modem, not USB modem ). RM118 upfront, free for 1st 2 months. http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/broadband...s_homevalue.asp Yours is Mobile value, come with E220 USB modem, free 1 month. http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/broadband...mobilevalue.asp I got my own modem. So no need to get USB modem any more. Actually base on calculation, you will RM68 for 2nd month onward, untill forever. But mine paying RM48 for 3rd month onwards. Actually you should buy modem outside which is only cost RM160-RM200 Huawei latest model modem. If long term, i still pay less than your package now. eg. Home value - 1 year RM118 upfront RM48 x 10 Buy own modem - RM180 TOTAL : RM778 mobile value - 1 year RM188 upfront RM68 x 11 TOTAL : RM936 after 1 year, you will pay more and more than me. wow, see the different, you should calculate first before you subscribe. Anyway not every dealer running this promotion ( Home Value ) I went to Tmn Connaught, sales person not around, service counter not able to do for me, then go to OUG plaza, lucky they got last 1.  The modem also unlocked one. Can use with other sim. |

upgrading the firmware. or something
I heard this from somewhere, just not sure about upgrading what. Added on March 2, 2010, 12:16 pm QUOTE(chunf @ Feb 28 2010, 04:01 PM) then all package can get the speed to 3mbps arr? Free package No la, initially I purchase da RM 78 for 3 GB one, then maxis change condition ma, totally blocked after the limit ma, later they free me lor. Best speed from speedtest.net is 6.2 mbps (or around that), megaupload somewhere around 700 kb/s (or above), got picture to proof, xD Anyway, lately dunno what happened to maxis, I still can surf after the limit, now I exceed the limit by 9GB liao.
