Nope.. u need purchase separately from him

If I subscribe the RM48/month plan, do I pay only RM48/month even after the 5th month?

The so called "RM78/month Usual Price" doesn't mean anything right?

From what i have heard during conversation with the customer service agent, it is rebate every month of RM30 for 5 months if you are getting the package with modem. (RM150). So, each month you are only paying RM18 until the 6th month, you pay the RM48. For package without modem, you have pay to RM48 upfront for the first month. Anyway, I could be understanding it differently. Any others who have called the maxis customer service? (number is 123 for maxis mobile holder / 0374922123)

me too, never heard about it, but i recently i subs it with broadband reseller in midvalley..enjoying surfing now..

Ok, I get the rough idea. I just want to make sure that it won't become RM78 after certain promotional period.

With the great deal, who wouldn't want the package with modem? There seems to be no extra charges after all.

There's also Advanced Lite Youth for RM48/month. The difference I see is only no free modem and larger quota per month. Assuming I'm a very casual user, it feels that the normal RM48/month with modem package is more worth.

Doesn't matter even if they charge RM78 after the fifth month for some reason. There's no contract after all. Just kiss them goodbye

No, there is a setback cautioned by the service agent. If you are getting the package with rebate RM30 every month. If you decided to terminate before the 5th month. You would loose out your rebate. That mean you are buying the modem with RM150 which i think it is not so bad either lar. Modem nowadays more or less this price anyway. Btw, the modem is most like lock to Maxis. So, you would need to do something to unlock it. So, the only risk is able to unlock or not. If cannot, then keep the modem as Maxis souvenier lor like key chain may be . Lol....

Probably for kiasu people, they would stick to the plan for 5 months lar.

Actually, based on my experience with wireless broadband. The first month is always the most important month for you to decide to continue or not.

If you do not have the connection at your area (which quite common because different providers have different focus on the coverage area. Sometimes the package look attractive but no point if your area have no good connection. Got coverage also no use one lar.). You would likely to get a very bad or not usable at all connection which i don;t think you would want to stick to it more than another day .

i am using the rm48 package now. i dont think it will turn into package rm78 once the 5 months is done. pls correct me if i'm wrong.

Yeah, i don;t think they would do that for non contractual users. All the users would unsubscribe immediately if they increase the price. Because it is not contractual bound.


So far have you reached the volume quota yet? If so, how is the capped speed like?

Mind to show up the speed meter?

I unlocked my modem on the very first day I got it

So, there is nothing to stop you for changing to other operator.

That is the advantage of HSDPA network. Can choose among Digi, Maxis, U-Mobile and Celcom. Tak suka, change...

only not worth is quota only 1.5G. need maintain 50Mb everyday. it is very fast to getting 50Mb perday as if 1 email has 10Mb attachment, 5 email would used up 50Mb.

the old RM78 permonth plan is based on contract or not? it not, it wil auto change to RM48?

me still using less than 1GB.. i only use it at home after work to surf net n also chatting.
din really do much heavy download/etc..

I plug the modem in for only 10 minutes to do speed test, ended up using 7MB. Anyone know how to stop the software from automatically connecting me to the mylaunchpad thing everytime I connect?

I don't think I'll exceed 1GB also. I just want to use it to remain connected when I'm out. I have streamyx at home for the downloads.

That is the problem when the speed is fast. It kills / consume all your data volume really fast.

If you are on 7.2Mbps connection to download a 1.5GB file. I think only take less than half an hour to use up all your quota.
Need a very good data management program, any good tool to use? I think better don;t do speed test much ah, waste your volume ah... Save it for good cause..

I was just being curious, that was my first day getting the modem. I have not used it since, will only start when I go back to my hostel (would probably do another speed test there ).

Does anyone know how to get replace the Maxis mobile partner software with other versions that won't pop up anything after getting connected? Will it work if I use Celcom's mobile partner? Or I will need to flash the modem?

if that so..dont open youtube or other video streaming sites.
my maxis bb data volume increase very speedily when watching youtube videos.

where u got this offer?... interested..

Yeah, 1.5 GB IMHO is really really little too. P1 Wimax Rm49 package has as much as 5GB data quota, after that would get capped but of course the speed is not as high like 7.2Mbps for Maxis. That is why, the speed after capped is the determine factor now. If it gradually capped from 7.2Mbps, probably it take some time to reach the same speed like other operator. If the capped speed is immediately to 128Kbps. That would mean we are simply paying RM48 for 128Kbps unless that is you are willing to pay more but the fate is the same, 1.5GB, 3.0GB, 5GB is not much different for a 7.2 Mbps broadband. (should be like 3GB, 10GB and then 20GB and so on but Maxis would not agree on this of course. ) It is a matter of time, really short one that is.
