Maxis 5.72 mbps upload.

curious: how many locations can achieve that?

if such occurs, how long can it last?

hmm, I am really tempted to get the RM240 (5 months) E1762 deal, any reason, not to get it? Seems like the cheapest modem bundle around town. Thanks.

Not only cheapest, its the best at this price. 7.2Mbps download, 5.76Mbps upload... Of course... all this means is that it will be future proof and operational when Maxis or other telcos (if you choose to unlock) upgrade their infrastructures.

I realize that most mobile broadband service cannot sustain high upload data rates. Nothing to do with the technology because I was using Digi Broadband in its early days and was maxing at 3xxkbps. Then it was reduce to 2xxkbps and finally somewhere similar to Maxis. I don't know if this is telco related or what... but it doesn't seem to affect our regular browsing, streaming and downloading since we use downloads more for these purposes.

Maybe they trying to curtail P2P sharers? I do know a few MBs email attachment takes a long time to upload. Thats the only problem I see. For gaming, still ok ok lar...

bear in mind, the 7.2/5.76 mbps is more on the gimmick side.
it's really hard to achieve such speed in normal condition. somemore, it also depends on yr location..
but so far, i think most maxis user here are quite satisfied with the current speed and consistency of maxis.

hi
yesterday i went to maxis at alamanda to subscribe the free modem promotion but sadly, the E1762 modem oledi out of stock...waaa...
they offered me to subscribe with old modem but i refused to subscribe...
do anyone here know which maxis dealer still got e1762 modem??


thanks

yeah, maxis center in Gardens also out of stock for the E1762 modem

Which is exactly the point I indicated...

Its all area dependent. But I'm willing to accept anything above 1+Mbps for daily use. For too long we have been limited to 1Mbps de facto standard because we afford higher subscription fees. Its time to not look at subscription fees based on speed but based on bandwidth. Like how we transitioned from time-based charges (dial up) to where we are today (broadband).

That way, we get to enjoy high speed internet as long as it is available but limited to the quota we subscribed. Maxis seems to be able to further this philosophy at the moment.

I also can't find the E1762 modem. Out of stock it seems.

Well, someone is selling the modem for RM125 only. Brand new and unlocked one.

I did able to source out someone with E1762 modem. Should I subscribe now? Haha..

Last I check no stock too. But I was told stock will be replenished this week.

got many maxis dealer out there, i don believe u can't find 1...maybe everybody standby stock for coming PC fair next week?
If you really need the package with free modem suggest not to buy RM125 first. ( sorry to the seller )
FREE modem E1762 really worth if you use it more than 5 months.
Try KLCC maxis center....

wah.. the maxis is selling like hot cake now eh..
that means sooner or later, the line will be congested again eh..

I agree with u
well.. my speed still nice at this moment..

hopefully my line will also stay as same... luckily i'm stayin at ulu place, guess less user here..

Well, i'm lucky to be on the maxis 3G internet RM99 unlimited monthly package.

for me at my housing area.. average speed 2mbps
at my campus, average speed 5mpbs

that's good..
btw, is there any capped speed?

I'm actually also more inclined to wait till PC fair to see what freebies they're giving. But well, for those who wants to subscribe for E1762 now, I have a contact to get it.
