i stay in ampang. near ampang point. use maxis bb since last month, (may 2008). Paid for 1 month only. service/connection is good. Just that my company offer streamyx (company benefit) , so i dont need maxis bb anymore.

u really wanna continue? if u want, i would prefer payment for 11 months, (78 X 11 ).

thank you

Ya, its more safer since the name of the account is still the original owner himself.

Hi,
I just tried Maxis BB the first day.started for around 1 hour now. the speed is quite good ah. bt later at night do not know la.

Can i know do we need to change the modem battery? mine is ladybird design.. meaning it covered by sticker.. if i do need to change the batter. how do i do so?

correct amyhs, better to be safe than sorry

cheers

What is XDCC?
Is it direct download such as Rapishare & Megaupload?

maxis have block the tracker from 6am to 2nd day 1 am....... so u can download with tracker only from 1am to 6am.. another time is p2p only... so suck loo... maxis broadband las time p2p is from 1am to 6am.. so on that time i can download with tracker any time and the speed will up to min 60kbps... to max 230kbps speed ( i am using power package Rm98 ) and also maxis block so many thing already..... stupid maxis bull shit

Something like mIRC direct tranfer

just want to know. is the zte modem = usb modem? different is just the portability? the price different ~40

hi digswell,

i am currently using the advanced package and i am keen to know ur tips hehehehe.. Appreciate any guidance.

Oic, I thought it's direct download like Rapidshare.
Thank You for the information.



Going through this thread, can I conclude that Maxis has blocked p2p applications ?
And if so, is it 24/7 or they allow for p2p at certain times ?

They do allow at certain times. That is from 1 am to 6 am. But to be honest. A 650MB file took me 3 days to finish it (that is from 1 am to 6 am). plus Disconnection totally kills the connection. It takes a couple of minutes for it to re-establish as it doesn't notify the PC on it (since the ZTE MF600 acts a router itself). Not worth it if you're into p2ping. Honestly , for me. It was a joke . It used to be good but now its just getting bad. But since most of the folks have said goodbye to Maxis , the speed might be good as there are less subscribers

Owh, I thought they totally blocked p2p applications.
It is rally a joke to know that it is only allowed at night and the speed is paltry, as you said. And since it is always disconnected, then one has to check the connection frequently to make sure that the Internet is running. If not waste electricity switching on PC, thinking that it's downloading when actually it is not.

Wretched speed eh. You bet. Well it does reconnect but the problem is maxis requires you to open up your web browser before they activate your connection. every time you connect to maxis broadband , you'll have to fire up your browser whereby it redirects you to their home page (which is annoying). This defeats the purpose for leaving it downloading over night. In order to overcome this , you must regularly run a script whereby setting to launch Internet explorer every now and then to stimulate some web activity !

im testing it rite now.. using the soap modem.. dunno can enable ICS using this modem or not.. some ppl say can.. i want to konet all my console..

Have to open up browser first before activating connection?? Hen ma fan!
Then after opening browser, certainly have to restart p2p application, if not surely the
apps can't resume, aiyayayayayayayya..

And yet there's still people exceeding the 20Gb cap ? Weird, LOL
Considering the fact that p2p apps can only be run at night and the frequent DCs..

Its still possible to exceed 20GB. I've exceed a couple of times. Last time it was possible to torrent during the daytime with Xunlei. Then they blocked that but BitTorrent came to the rescue with BT Lifetime seeding. then they blocked that as well. Slowly they are blocking things to ensure customers can enjoy best surfing speed ever. Its true. Surfing speed and download speeds are fast. So if you're into surfing and other things then it shouldn't be a problem

Yes , if your maxis gets connected , you'll have to activate it by opening the browser. Your browser will automatically redirect it to their site. Voila you're activated. 'Activation aka sign on' process doesn't work if you open your MSN Client or any other thing. You'll have to use your browser. I've tried that. As for p2p , it takes like 15 minutes for it to notice that its ip has been changed , before it starts to drop all old connection and re-establish them. So go ahead and figure it out !

If you're looking for a broadband whereby surfing speed is assured then look no more. Maxis Broadband delivers that. That is if you're into surfing !

i think we r crawling laa..

The thing is that I don't surf much, & I don't really need mobility as I
don't surf while on the move. I am more into downloading movies and music albums (though I don't have time to watch the movies, too but just download it before the links was removed or afraid that there are no more seeders) .

Just wondering, is Maxis Broadband independent from TMnet ( I mean does maxis borrow / uses TMnet infrastructures or do they have their own ? )
