To get a better signal, my personal experience........

1) Try to put your modem near the window.

2) Locate the best window in yr house/condo/apartment/office etc for the signal.

3) Some of our windows may have mosquito screens. If you put your modem next to your mosquito screen, (what i mean is that the mosquito screen is in between your modem and the external) before the signal reaches your modem it will sort of disperse. Mosquito screen will act as a signal distorter. Either remove the screen or put the modem outside of the screen. But i find that it better to remove the screen (but u can close the window). Glass will not affect the signal.

My thoughts..

how's the connection so far?? at one point i was trying to take maxis wireless broadband. however, after the technician came to my place and tested it, there's very low coverage so they cancel it for me. so i don't know whether i should get one or not because i actually need mobility.
there's one package from celcom which is very cheap, but then you have to purchase your own use modem. so that will cost me a bomb, so i decided not to take that.

Connection speed in my place is quite good but I'm not sure whether is it because I'm a new subscriber.

Oh and about the 20GB cap.. How does it work? ? Once I reach 20GB then? ? I will be capped at the lower speed forever? ? Or just the month? ?

Once you hit the 20GB limit, your speed will be capped at 256kbps for that month only.

It is called the fair usage policy, read it at their terms and conditions. The fair usage policy usually will be found in most terms and conditions of a wireless broadband provider, whether they really impose it or not is another question.

Don't worry you are not alone, many others are having lots of problem, even if they don't get frequent disconnections they are having speeds like a 56k dial up.

At the moment many tried UMobile and have all returned back the modem to get a refund as they have the 8 days money back guarantee policy.

I'm had some fun with my 56kbps Maxshit Broadband last month. Very fun, paying RM 98 per month for 56kbps. "Nice" company, "good" customer service, "friendly" technicians.

It sounds dejavu to me. Hehe, 8-day cooling period, and followed up by 2 years contract, it's even worst than my "favorite" broadband.

Cheap? Beware of the gimmicks behind, 24 months is not a short period if the speed is sux after first 8 days. And normally they will make u feel happy and giv u full unthrottle speed in the first 8 days, wat will happen after that? you can click my siggy to find out urself. icon_rolleyes.gif

I agree , during your test period. The speed will be superb , i mean no slow downs , constant connection and stuff like that. Once after that , you'll come into reality. Thats how maxis traps you. lets provide you with good connectivity for 7 days so that you wouldn't rant. Once you have made up your mind , its time to con you

The price is so cheap for 3.6mbps broadband. Dude its not even 3.6mbps. you can't even reach 80% of the speed , let alone 1Mbps or at least 1.5Mbps !
