P2P Traffic no , they block. Its clearly written there that maxis blocks p2p traffic at all costs. So they will take no action. If you want to use a download manager , use FlashGet or something else. I am assuming that you are using it to download stuff off eDonkey/BitTorrent which is not allowed. They are upgrading towers by towers to block these applications. So you might be lucky for the past few months , but when it is your time , you'll have to suffer. Lately they have blocked BT Life seeder

Exactly. That is the purpose of this broadband. Its for the 'lulz'. No seriously , no p2p. However , it will work from 1 am to 6 am. So you are correct. Don't be surprised if they tell you that we block p2p and blah blah blah.

You can , VPN bypasses all of these. If you are into BitTorrenting , I would like to suggest you to opt for Torrentflux or any torrent services that allows you to grab your data via HTTP/FTP. FTP and HTTP aren't blocked and they can't control. Thus it can give you full speed of your connection. Please do keep that in mind that you do have a 20GB bandwidth limit a month !

Like I've said , they are blocking lots of trackers. Everyday new tracker starts to pop in so they'll block trackers. So it seems that they have managed to trace. It wouldn't take long for them to block that as well. Its clearly written that they throttle p2p usage and yet you want to ask them to fix it

There is nothing much to tweak on Maxis Broadband. Its there and its being controlled by maxis. anyhow , I would like to share this great application with you guys (Hotspot Shield). So if you guys are having some issues with certain applications (i.e low throughput) , give this a shot. It might do the trick. It certainly did for me.

It will use the proxy automatically. You may want to try some p2p applications. If you do notice , it will connect to tracker and you'll able to get some stuff off p2p. The speeds are slow but its way better then say uh unable to torrent or so

Its certainly not bad for surfing. But your latency is awful , 483ms for kuala lumpur. You should be getting around 280ms to 300ms. But 483 ms is insane !

This is the reason why I dumped Maxis. The connection isn't stable at all. I am pretty unhappy with ZTE and Maxis as well. Both of them to be blamed

hey how about downloading stuff from rapidshare (premium user)
is it ok in term of the speed?

Added on June 18, 2008, 9:55 pmhey i called Maxis tonite asking about the USB Modem package
he said there's no such limitation like before
it's unlimited
but reading the posts here, i guess they cap until 20Gb
i think it's great compare to Celcom just 5 Gb
and they reduce ur speed from 3.6Mbps to 128kbps
how ridiculous is that?
i'm their new victim...
kinda think to grab Maxis now
*
They'll say unlimited. They'll give you cock and bull stories such as they don't block any services , Dynamic IP , blah blah blah blah blah. The speed is okay provided you are within the coverage area. They cap till 20GB , once you hit 20GB , they'll cap you to 256Kbps instead. But its possible for data burst to occur , but they'll just throttle you to 256kbps

They do block p2p. So its a known issue

I want to know maxis broadband stable enough to load lowyat.net, msn, mirc,  normal surfing , email, ebanking? Does maxis give their WBB users dynamic external IP or internal IP? (this is important to me because I do use Mirc sometimes).

I tried out their mobile internet at RM99 /month and I have to say I had a very good experience with maxis. I don't use Bit torrent so I didn't have much problem with that. I was also given an unique external IP address and I have no problem logging on to MSN/Yahoo Messenger.

So , my question is, can this experience be replicated to their RM68/month wireless broadband service?

thanx for answering. (thinking of subscribing to the lower end service)

Now with MSN you might face some problems such as frequent disconnection. Yes , maxis does give their WBB users an External Dynamic IP Address (not an internal one). This allows you to use rapidshare , IRC and other stuff as IP is truly dynamic

Hey all...i have maxis wireless broadband since December last year...i want to ask 1 question...how to change from wireless to fixed lines broadband?in maxis website...their say must use maxis fixed lines phone...how thats?

Simple , if you are using a landline service from Maxis , then chances are you'll be able to register for their normal broadband

If you want to torrent or any other thing , you should switch to other broadband provider or subsribe to some VPN Service like I do such as Torrentflux or bolehtorrent or so. It enable you to use p2p and other 'restricted applications'. If you don't have a fixed line , chances are very slim. You must reside within a maxis fixed line area service (and not telekom)

Latency is the key factor here. It takes approx ~0.11 seconds to ping lowyat as opposed to streamyx ~0.02 seconds. So sites do take some time to load. As for downloads , its fairly fast. Overall you shouldn't be facing any problems for surfing and general stuff. Its just that the modem is crappy and maxis broadband is crappy as opposed to their Maxis unlimited internet. Both of them are on different ip range (For maxis unlimited data its not 58.<can't remember>.x.x and for maxis broadband the range would be 121.120.x.x). Oh as for XDCC (DIRECT transfer) , maxis has blocked that as well

Hello, since everyone here is using Celcom wireless broadband, i would like to gather some feedback from you guys before deciding which service that i would like to get (either celcom or maxis). Could you guys comment about Celcom wireless on the following:

1) connectivity
2) speed
3) coverage (i always travel to Kelantan, Perak, Penang, Melaka and KL)
4) customer service when lodging complains.

please comment.
*
1) Pretty much it is okay. Its pretty straight forward and maxis assigns you dynamic IP which is way better then celcom !

2) You can't say this for wireless as speed isn't constant and it will never be constant all. Its hard to judge. But i can assure that so far , the speed is good (I can download stuff around 60-80 kilobytes/sec and sometimes it can hit up to 250 kilobytes/sec

3) Whoops , Maxis doesnt cover Kelantan yet for 3G. You might be forced to use EDGE or GPRS. Slower speed but it gets you connected anyway

4) Superb what can I say. They are polite , thats about it. they dont really know in and out of networking but they are pretty polite !

im using maxis broadband almost 2 month and it being worse everyday ... want to send back but must to pay RM200 .. s**t ... any idea ?

To get the wavier of the fees do the following :-

1) Write to mr.darshan or MCMC and complain the speed is slow and say that your pings aren't stable. Facing disconnections and other crap. Include screenshots and trace route results as this will boost them. CC one to maxis

2) Maxis should call you up and follow up on the issue

3) Wait again and then write to maxis and say you're unhappy with the sevice and request for the service waiver

4) Pray that they'll waive. iF THEY don't just send a complain to mcmc again

It works !
