Does it disconnect everytime the speed switches? My USB modem kinda disconnect itself everytime speed changes from HSDPA -> UMTS -> EDGE or vice versa. Its so frustrating especially when you are in a place that has bad reception.

this is my house maxis RM 88 broadband zte modem testing result:


my area: Seri Sungai Long, 43200 Selangor Kajang.

any comment about this speed? normal or slow?

which package u subscribe to? if its 3g yeah this is decent speed. if u subscribe to 3.6Mbps. then the speed sucks

yes, i'm subscribe the 3.6mbps power package rm88

the speed suck bro..u need to complain frequently to the customer service

hi there. just wanna ask. does maxis have contracLESS package/plan? thanks

AFAIK, no. Maybe you should contact the CEO for confirmation

ah ic. thanks for the info

All of their packages are contractless , its just that you'll have to pay RM 200 handling fees when you wish to terminate it. Thats Maxis' definition of contractless

putting hate aside, does anyone knows if that promotion : postpaid value 50 + broadband is still on?

since u are using USB modem..
try setting it to "3G only" instead "preferbly 3G"

Just read this t.o.s

http://maxis.com.my/personal/broadband/termncon.asp

5.3 Excessive Usage

5.3.1 Each customer’s total usage per month shall NOT exceed 3GB of data volume transmitted (total upload and download usage). This is to ensure that no individual hogs the bandwidth at all times.
5.3.2 If a customer wishes to use more than the volume permitted, a written request should be made to Maxis.
5.3.3 Maxis reserves the right to reject the said application or charge for any additional data volume transmitted from what is already allocated.

damn, just a couple of months ago i saw limit : 20GB.

u got 1740 kilobits per sec means u got 217.7 Kilobytes per sec.
that's not bad.. quite fast.. almost 2mbps..
anyone hv tried maxis broadband in sec 7, shah alam area?
i need recommendation and suggestion for using mobile broadband since i'm thinking about
signing up for it soon..
thanks

anyone heard of the new package thy offer
maxis broadband plus dell mini 9 portable notebook

from the calculations, it seems to be extremely worth it. paying onl 400 plus for teh notebook...it sounds very resonable

i saw this on maxis centre at KLCC but didnt understand what and how to get the Dell... anybody know bout this? the dell laptop is quit "comel"....

I hate the limited bandwidth >_>

I use 3.5GB. And that 3GB rule doesn't makes sense... If you reach full speed you don't need to use liao ;_;

I like to download albums instead of one by one song. So if you don't have data flow, some programs like mIRC or MSN won't work ;_; Downloads will stop too >:

I hate the blue lights.

But other wise, the morning speed are quite good. Start from.. 5am to 12 noon is fine. Download speed reached 100kbps. Normally download speed on Safari is 10-20kbps. But, not good enough for a 3.5GB connection, eh?



On 7:49pm, uploading a 70MB file though. Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.

I'm quite freaking pissed at the 3GB rule, although I didn't pay my bills. o.o

EDIT:



No, still no good. o.o

Don't worry about it. MaxisBB System (and their modem) is not reporting our bandwidth usage accurately. I've used over X9GB the last month but they stated I used only 8.64GB...also, the dl speed I'm getting is higher than what I subscribed for

Also, if you call CS, they will tell you that they actually limit 20GB and not 3GB. If Maxis tries to make extra charges, contact MCMC and let 'em slap Maxis to the ground

FYI: Everytime I get slow downloads, I'll call CS and ask them to reset the connection (BTW, tell the CS to skip the technical crap...tell them you just want them to reset your connection). After 15 minutes, full dl speed again - On average, I only call CS once or twice a week asking them to reset my connection.

sighs ... yesterday night tried to upgrade my ps3 firmware also cannot ... half way cut off already

sian

if complaint, maxis can/will do something on it?

They don't really care. They'll just entertain , try to fix. If you really want to get things done , bring it to MCMC and then forward to Maxis. They'll solve your problem (hopefully)
