RM 68/RM 98 package is meant for the ZTE Modem. I'll have to tell you that its not worth it to use maxis , unless you're just into surfing only |

QUOTE(cracksys @ Jun 25 2008, 03:34 AM) i have a question,prasys .. i didn't register my account yet at maxis.com.my/broadband and for the first time i tried last night. it requires me to enter my BB sim-card number for it to send me a temp password. but then i realized, how am i going to retrieve the temp password ? do i need to pull out the sim-card from the modem and push it into my phone ? They ask for SIM Card Number ?. I think they'll issue the password via the Internet or something like that. You'll have to pull out the sim and take note of it |

QUOTE(sheahann @ Jun 27 2008, 11:05 AM) can i register for stater pack RM68 per month and share with my other housemate ? can this maxis broadband to be shared with multiple pc ? QUOTE(sheahann @ Jun 27 2008, 12:23 PM) dont want buy router can rite ? my fren say use SOFTWARE assign IP .. then no need router and just need the switch .. ? Yes , ZTE MF600 modem aka the RM 68 package you can share with friends. The ZTE MF600 itself is a Modem + Router. All you have to do is buy a switch or hub (switch are generally expensive then hubs but they are better as they don't cause a collision  ). So you can get a switch very cheaply and use it with the ZTE MF600. If you want wireless functionality then you can get a Router to do it for you. You'll be just needing the switch for the lousy ZTE MF600. KEEP in mind you can't port forward or p2p with Maxis Wireless |

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

QUOTE(nujikabane @ Jun 30 2008, 06:45 PM) Owh, I thought they totally blocked p2p applications. 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 !It is rally a joke to know that it is only allowed at night and the speed is, 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. |

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 !

QUOTE(nujikabane @ Jun 30 2008, 11:32 PM) The thing is that I don't surf much, & I don't really need mobility as I Yes , it is. They do have their own international link and cables. Its independent from TM. If you're into downloading then maxis is a no go for you. You have two options. Use VPN Services or Torrentflux to get your stuff and download it via HTTP. Web surfing download speeds are amazing (assuming your signal strength is good. It peaks up to 200-300 kilobytes/sec) 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 ? ) QUOTE(scripted @ Jul 1 2008, 02:43 AM) You can reload their page non-stop. Its not an issue at all. Every 30 seconds just refresh their page . This is their 'Connection script' - http://58.71.141.15/maxis-storefront/connect.do . Keep on refreshing that junk so that your connection actually gets activated once you're connected |

384Kbps maximum. But usually it hovers around 128Kbps , sometimes even less. For me , the maximum that i could get is 296Kbps for upload (best) and the worst one is 13 Kbps. They didn't state their upload speed but then after some research , I managed to find out that they cap their upload at 128Kbps but when there aren't many users in the cell tower , the speed may go up to 384kbps !. Streamyx offers up to 512Kbps with their 2Mbps package !

QUOTE(nujikabane @ Jul 1 2008, 08:22 PM) First of all, I beg to differ with your statement that Streamyx offers 512kbps for 2mbps package is wrong. My Bad. I am not aware of it. Anyhow thanks for correcting me (Multi-tasking and answering peoples question in the forums at the same time are like water and oil - They just don't go together).Streamyx package for 2mb is still 384kbps, both for their normal package or their combo. Only 4mb line gives 512kbps speed. Anyway, going through your statement, it is very sad about the upload speed, which is far slower than Streamyx. Wonder why they didn't inform about their upload speed, maybe perhaps they don't want to be committed to the speed they said. I mean, if they say upload is 384kbps then they have to deliver the speed they've mentioned. Have you tried uploading anything and see about the upload speed? Try once in the day and once at night, and see the differences. Heheh just a suggestion. Might have tried myself if I have Maxis  I dont know what is their reason not to publish the upload speed. Maybe they have their own reasons or they have made an assumption that more people are into downloading rather then uploading. As for the upload speed , I can't comment much as you know how UMTS works. Suppose if the tower is congested , uploading just fails or uploads very slow as all the 'slots' are being used by other UMTS user (i.e Video call , WAP surfing , MMS downloading). But if the tower isn't congested , it can go up to 12-15 Kilobytes/sec which I think is good ! |

But as far as I know , they only provide lease line and broadband services (both wired and wireless). They used to offer Free Dial-Up service way back ago (aka MaxisNet !)Anyway, does Maxis provide ISDN lines as well? Lol ask so many question, sorry la oh |

Pinging doesn't work. You'll have to use a firefox add-on called AutoRefresh or something like that. Just hook it up to maxis 58.x.x.x (the default startup page) for every 5 minutes and it does the trick for you. Pinging will not work as maxis wants you to 'surf' before they allow you to use other applications (smart eh ?)

QUOTE(wanpent @ Jul 6 2008, 01:47 AM) just to get some info... 1) There aren't. They only offer 1 package which is the RM 138 package for USB Modem only 1.it is any package to use usb modem but take the advance packages(rm 78)instead to use ZTE modem? 2. i already returned maxis phone and not use home voice standard after 6 month rebates but maxis still charge me rm 15 at my latest bill. that i need officially to inform maxis to terminated this service or automatic to slash the amount? 3. how to know our bandwidth usage? 2) Call them up and fire em. If they still fail to respond. Its time to send a letter to NCCC 3) Get a bandwidth monitoring tool - http://www.metal-machine.de/readerror/ (Netmeter) , it keeps track of your bandwidth usage and other things. Pretty neat |

QUOTE(Luftwacko @ Jul 6 2008, 11:12 PM) Haiz... my ping sucks. I ping to 202.71.97.81 and I'm getting mixed ping between 80+ms to 1k+ms. What can you expect. That is just ping. Try to play the game and you'll notice that your latency goes up to 20k. Trust me , I've given up in Maxis. They throttle the upstream connection for non-standard ports , which is insane.  QUOTE(cracksys @ Jul 7 2008, 09:08 AM) so, did you able to play CoD4 on this connection? Might be , maxis might have blocked it after all to ensure fairness. If you really want to access or host DOTA game or anything else using your maxis connection. I would suggest you to use Hamachi instead ;P@prasys - hotspot shield doesn't seem to work anymore. is it maxis or my config ? |

QUOTE(cracksys @ Jul 8 2008, 08:49 PM) damn, maxis is damn fast Hamachi isn't paid version of Hotspot shield. It is used to establish your very own Private VPN network. In other words , you can act as a server or host DOTA games despite maxis' stupid restrictions. Its just that your game isn't public and people will have to install hamachi and connect to your network in order to see it what's hamachi ? <- while i google for itokay, got it .. hamachi is a paid version of Hotspot Shield, am i rite? what if i paid for it and maxis block hamachi also |

Trace route to google, the nearest router already have plenty of latecy. Opps... these information might give the experts some clue where I'm located now....  QUOTE(Luftwacko @ Jul 14 2008, 12:42 AM) That shows how bullsh*t maxis is. Isn't it obvious ?. They are blocking all the ports as they can , so that bandwidth can be maintained at all times. This is the reason why I said good bye to them and hello to streamyx. I find it that streamyx is better. Heck even my JARING Wireless was way better then that despite the crappy latency. Its because they don't block any funny stuff. Reminds me of my university internet line whereby they block ICMP requests (you can't ping/traceroute) at all. I tried playing in Garena, play halfway, dc from server. Play Hamachi, couldn't even connect to friends... Spread the word... don't let anyone regret using their crappy service.  QUOTE(ZiYi @ Jul 14 2008, 12:55 AM) To be fair, it depends of your requirement. For online game, bursty packet is definately unacceptable. You're using the so-called unlimited plan. I heard that they are going to throttle that as well as it was uncapped before this , meaning that you guys can get ot enjoy superb bandwidth and no restrictions. But lately , maxis has imposed some restrictions , do see the result in the coming months. Not to scare you but they might throttle p2p connections But for me, I work alone far away from my home town and rent a single room. The only time I can sit down and use internet is during the night time. Thus streamy is not for me. As a result, I subscribe the unlimited 99 as a VAS to my voice plan so that I can email and browsing on the road. I have to say, despite the bursty nature of the packet, it is very fast. Watching streaming video is awsome, and much much faster than 1M streamyx. QUOTE(lonewolf @ Jul 14 2008, 10:36 AM) I have this question...if i were to subscribe the RM99 unlimited month package...let say i cancel in the mid of the month, so do they return the pro rated $$ back? No Idea |

QUOTE(ZiYi @ Jul 14 2008, 11:48 PM) I can only comfirm that you can terminated the subscribtion anytime, but not sure if you can get your money back. You are using Maxis RM 99 unlimited package. Your IP range is different from Maxis wireless user , meaning that they dont block some stuffs yet but i bet they will be enforcing it sooner or later. So pretty much you are safe. Maxis unlimited data package and Maxis broadband are on different APN and different set of IP Range !prasys, I'm sure my bandwidth is not capped yet, and p2p is not being throttled [attachmentid=528521] but I'm sure the fair usage policy will be enforced in the end of the day. This is business-to-business, it's about making money (imagine yourself as a business man). Next, Wireless technology have its own limitation, high packet loss is an issue. Although Maxis might play some dirty tricks (and which ISP doesn't?), the technology itself should also be held liable. I had notice that, I have to frequently click the refresh button of the browser. But if the page begin to load, it is extreamly fast. This indicates that it has pleanty of peak speed, but high packet loss as well. So it is not suitable for any real time application. From my experience, if you want play online game+24 hrs download+video streaming+voice/video conference, etc... Streamyx is still the way to go. Lastly, ACT INSTEAD OF COMPLAIN HERE... |
