win7 starter

100kbps is definitely the capped speed. Try this afternoon and get the same thing.



Do you get SMS for the data volume runs out?

I get 2 SMS.

1. You are nearing your subscribed package's volume quota. Your speed will be reduced once you reach the quota

2. You have reached your volume quota. Once you are directed to the portal, your speed will be reduced. Buy more data volume to enjoy uncapped speeds.

I don't get directed to portal thou cause am not using maxis modem.

100kbps per month. Sigh~ Lets hope they would not get any lower. If it does, definitely need to terminate already.

Added on May 2, 2010, 4:58 pmThe network protocol used by Maxis BB in my area is WCDMA and not HSDPA. However, for Celcom and U-Mobile. It is HSDPA.

Anyone here gotten the HSDPA network coverage at your area? If so, what is the speed like?

For maxis BB, I can get 3.6Mbps during off peak hours before my speed get capped.. (my modem can't get higher than 3.6 cause it does not support HSPA+ 7.2 Mbps but it is ok. I would get capped anyway.)

I suppose , you might be able to get higher with WCDMA network too.

WCDMA = 3G = 384kbps

HSDPA/HSPA = 3.5G = 1.8mbps, 3.6mbps, 7.2mbps, 14.4mbps

HSPA+ = 3.75G = 42mbps, 84mbps

4G = more than 100mbps



currently indonesia launching 42mbps HSPA..

Same here. Today just my 4th day using maxis broadband..already use more than half of the bandwidth >.< For me, the 3GB 1 was too expensive, perhaps i will change to digi broadband.. haha
I'm also 1 of the User..

Using Win7 Home Premium. Real plug and play, no need of any software whatsoever. Plug it in and I'm connected.

Not sure.. but mine is unlocked. When I click connect, it will connect me to HSPDA rather than HSPA. For HSPDA I could not get any download data, but there was upload data sent. If I don't use the Huawei E1762 software, (By manually connecting via Network Options), it will be connected to HSPA. The signal for HSPA is quite weak, but WMCDA is strong.

HSDPA = HSPA = 3.5G = LED CYAN

WCDMA = 3G = LED BLUE

I have no idea what connection I'm connected to, since Win7 don't provide much details, just the connection name and signal bars only. I'm only looking for the cyan light.

y so fast?
u open utube? fb?

see lower left..

currently using celcom bb prepaid weekly..


Attached thumbnail(s)

I didn't use that dashboard. Win7 connects using the modem automatically whenever I plug it in. It indicates similar to WiFi, name, signal and nothing else.

how did you do that? means that automatically you log on into win7 the internet is online?

weird..

even not use dashboard..i using dial up..

That is what i think too but I can get 3.6Mbps. So, it is definitely 3.5G.

After much digging, this is what i found

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access



For some strange reason, my modem is still detecting WCDMA but running on HSDPA speed. Guess that is the problem when am not using Maxis modem.

I use it for FB lols... and also skype >.< A little youtube...
oh ya, i'm having some problem. How come it will suddenly dc then when i reconnect it said " connection have been terminated " . Or 0% signal.. but can connect still cant surf the web like no connection.

got a question here...

let's say i wanna terminate my package, no contract....

my billing date is 28 of every month...

Q1: Do i have to go to Maxis center a few days earlier to inform them that i wanna cancel my account and ask them not to bill?..say like 5-6 days before billing date?..

Q2: or can i just go on the 27th and ask them to cancel my account immediately?..which my billing date is the next day, 28 of every month...

pls advise...

HHHmmm better to go bit earlier I think let say a about a week early ?
