yeah i know the rm150 upfront.

by the time i reached the 5th month, modem price already offset = FREE

so, in the end, it's still RM18 payable, monthly.

it's a good deal to try out maxisbb while getting the modem free tongue.gif

It is something similar like the year end deals 3 months ago.
you cant calculate the bill as RM18, since you already paid RM150 upfront.

but the free modem is real. and the modem is not that expensive, i've seen someone selling unlocked E176 for RM164

Yep, the malay guy with username "zwe...................." (can't remember since it's so long)
selling with such low price, I just wonder how could he get it o.O.
I still has not unlock it yet, cause my wins 7 laptop can't seem to detect broadband usb's driver.

Only my pc can.

Makes no different while "rebate RM30x5"

prorate on 1st month is a GOOD thing. this means u're not paying the full amount smile.gif

if it's only broadband service, there [b]shouldn't be any stamp duty (i think it's called Service Tax-5%) cuz data usage is non-taxable.[/B]

but why Celcom Broadband have stamp duty charges?? hmm.gif

modem from zwanvedder @ http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1293463

if i'm not mistaken, the modem is exactly as from Maxis but he'll give you the unlock code "open up" the modem biggrin.gif


Maxis' statement on the free modem + RM150 upfront payment = marketing gimmick only.

if u take off the modem price (RM150), monthly subscription will just be RM18 for the first 5 months.

i guess it's just the way to lure customers to sign up.

normal surfing without video streaming (ie youtube etc).
i was actually kinda surprised by how much you tube consumes bandwidth when i look at the data transfer recorded by maxis when i stream youtube.
