I kinda regretted buying a lappy and maxis broadband without a proper investigation through the net, how ever according to the speed test above, my connection is around 3 times faster than my previous streamyx rm66 package. I am currently using maxis rm138 package.

Despite the good speed test, I felt my web browsing rather slow compared to streamyx.

ya, why does web surfing kinda lag-laggy-lag-laggy ... my download speed is 16kilobyte/s and i must wait 2 seconds for google to come out

anyone want my maxis bb package?free transfer fee by me...see my signature.
any1 interest?

Can have a try is it? need to know it stable anot.

At my area near ampang lrt








but i still don't feel the speed also i prefer wired actually

you wont be getting 1.5mb all the time trust me

out of curiosity, does the sim can be used on a B/berry?

I got this for my Advance package (640k). I live nearby Bukit Jalil, behind MIMOS (TPM)..Is the result normal for this place? Can't even open my you tube. Plus, it alwiz disconnected if i left my PC for some time.

Using ZTE MF600

i've been using StayOn, a freeware.. i didn't know if its working bcause the longest time idling for me is 5 minutes. might want to give it a try. there's a lot more software specifically made for this purpose. google around.

*waa,i never thought surfing in the morning felt so good..if only i didn't have to go to work

i am using maxis wifi package rm158 and i am staying at semenyih this is the speed i get

Better use JARING Wireless then this crapband maxis. Its not even worth it. JARING is much more better and at least you dont have to worry about maxis' un-fair usage policy at all

Initially planned to use JARING,but the modem does not come together..need to buy..that bring me down

Honestly its worth it if you ask me personally. I am an ex-JARING WBB user. The reason why I stopped the service is mainly because i am out of coverage and it is harder for me to get the signal (since there are lots of developments in KL Area). Overall, I've had no funny issues like this crappy Maxis Broadband. Honestly , they should be marketing their broadband as "Maxis Restrictive Broadband - Its just the same as your corp. firewall"

em,worth is not an option for financially-stressed person as i am .. you still on maxis bb rite bro ? any tips on getting more pleasurable surfing experience using maxis bb ?

morning was a breeze but night before midnite was a nightmarish surfing experience.. i've applied TCPOptimizer but haven't see any improvement yet

Well , it seems to be worth it at a glance. But at what cost ?. Port blocking ? Unable to p2p ?. I am willing to tolerate if they block the ports and allow p2p traffic till we reach 20GB or our limit. Then they have the rights to block and cap our bandwidth. But this is insane , they block the ports (fine) , and they impose a 20GB limit. It seems to be a joke. Oh yes i am still on this maxis bb , i'll switch back to streamyx once my phone line case has been settled by TM.

This is the worst broadband ever. I think I should have opt'ed for Celcom instead of Maxis in the first place. Its just that their crappy promotion seems to be too good. Heck the agent event told me that p2p wasn't blocked (at that upon of time) and I saw in front of my eyes that it can reach 100-200kilobytes/sec and online gaming wasn't a problem back then. But now things have changed.

Its just nice for surfing the web , thats bout it.

chill bro .. i'm just a surfer so i might not feel like what you had felt. the only reason why i opt-ed for maxis was because of their new policy waived minimum contract and reduced termination fee ..

i could only afford rm50+/- monthly payment and i couldn't find any other alternatives, so here i am, a week old maxis bb user ..

i've seen you posted a lot of tips, so i was hoping to get to share some from you.. didn't have any intention to stir your mood actually

No , not to stir mood or so. You may want to relocate your modem. Keep an eye on your signal. If your RSSI is around -60 or better yet -58. That means your signal is superb and by right you should get good speeds. I am just expressing it out. In terms of price ratio its not worth it. But if you don't have other choices

I would be posting screenshots or some of my heatsink installation and other things

will be waiting

i only managed to get -88 ~ -101 .. do you have any idea why RSSI strength doesn't to be a right indicator of my speed ? because it's like wacky sometimes : RSSI -85dbm can be suck and it can be fast. while some other time, > -100dbm but i had a plausible experience.

how bout DNS setting, some says it helps but i've tried OpenDNS and *poof* lost connection

Well you may want to use this DNS address :-
