Maybe the live account is on a new server or they are using a new transport protocol. You must understand that when you use MSN Messenger , you have two options
1) Direct connection with server - Usually MSN prefers this over HTTP method , as it establishes a direct connection with your PC to their Server. In other words , your file sharing speed would be fast and you wouldn't be having any disconnection issues.
2) HTTP Method - MSN Falls back to this method when it checks the ports are blocked. This is a fail-safe method whereby MSN Client connects to a their server over the HTTP Protocol. Of course when you're sending files to your friends , you're actually sending it to the server and then passing it to your friend(s). Rather then directly connecting with them. This answers why you are having slow transfer speed
I guess the number of contacts might influence that as well. MSN's HTTP Protocol is well known for its sloppiness (especially if you have a large contact list like me) !
Hard to say ....myself and my brother also maxis user with ZTE modem . my bro work at PJ SS2 and he always come back home (my place) once a week . and he using laptop to online.
So the story like this . he say Pj area is very bad , cannot torrent , slow surfing web , msn got problem and etc.
if he come back home online. everything is ok , can torrent also but slow at day time . i think maxis blocking depend on the area
