not only maxis broadband but celcom also the same. Digi on the other hand will charge you for the extra usage.

With normal web browsing daily will easily used up 1.5GB. At least they are now being honest by showing us the bandwidth limit. Last time they will just hide that in their term and condition.

QUOTE(crystalroselle @ Aug 25 2009, 11:27 AM) Hey can I ask which modem would be the best to use with the Maxis 3G unlimited? I'm so sick of my current Celcom bb that never works =.=;; Why dont you try using Celcom modem with maxis.If not, you have to unlock the modem so that any telco can be used. QUOTE(Imzadi @ Aug 25 2009, 03:11 PM) I'm thinking of subscribing for the Maxis Broadband because they are currently having a PC Fair Promo. Can anyone give me advise on which one is better - With device = with contract???#1. With device (Modem) RM58 - No speed capping with Volume Quota of 1.5GB #2. Without device (Modem) RM58 - Speed cap at 3.6Mbps with Volume Quota of 2GB I would rather get option #2 because of the 2GB Volume Quota but does the speed capping make a huge difference? Also can someone please recommend a USB Modem Datacard. There's so many models out on the market and it gets confusing. My budget is about RM200-RM250. Many thanks  Better go for deal without contract so that you can terminate easily if you don't like the service. Best modem is ZTE MF622 or a cheaper alternative is Huawei E220. |

QUOTE(joongieforeva @ Sep 21 2009, 06:00 PM) maxis keep changing plans..it so confusing for me they will not cut off your connection after you exceed the limit.the no device package advanced lite youth is only rm 48 per month and they state that the volume quota is 2gb so after i exceed my limit...they will cut off my connection or they will throttle my speed? which one? It's either your speed is throttle or you are charge pay per use fees. But I think it should be throttle speed. Charge pay per use is for the new package plan. |

QUOTE(rstusa @ Sep 22 2009, 11:14 AM) I saw that volume quota is 3GB (RM108), 6GB (RM138), 12GB (RM198). Why another plan can let us choose is RM99 with unlimited data access of volume quota? 6GB & 12GB are quite expensive compare to the RM99 unlimited access. Why Maxis got such wired package with abnormal price? Here is the correct thread for Maxis 3G mobile internet plan (not wireless broadband):http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/390525/+1080 |

QUOTE(fx_53_xt @ Dec 10 2009, 06:30 PM) i've been very tempted by the maxis year end promotion lately. Then being their OneClub member, they sent me another promotion: For normal maxis postpaid user, the offer is this:FOC E1762 HSPA modem Free 4 months WBB RM38 on 5th months onward (1.5GB quota) RM58 on 5th months onward (3GB quota) No contract Prepayment RM180, will be refunded into my maxis phone bill from 1st month onward. Basically if i cancel after 6 months at which the RM180 is fully refunded, i get everything for free, plus paying RM16 for the 5th and 6th month usage. Ok, i'm sold. FREE E1762 modem (pay RM180 first and they rebate you RM30 in the next 6 months) FREE only 2 months of Maxis BB No contract RM48 on 5th months onward (1.5GB quota) RM68 on 5th months onward (3GB quota) If I got that OneClub member deal, I would have take it right away and used it for 6 months. Added on December 10, 2009, 8:01 pm QUOTE(rstusa @ Dec 10 2009, 07:55 PM) But if you terminate the package after 6 months, although maxis rebate RM180 to you already but you still have to pay another RM200 handling fees because your termination not more than a year. I thought the handling fees is waived as shown here:but probably maxis got some tricks up on their sleeve. not possible they are offering something so cheap. The modem itself cost RM300 if you buy at outside!!! This post has been edited by AskarPerang: Dec 10 2009, 08:01 PM |

QUOTE(Cynox @ Dec 11 2009, 04:44 PM) Got a sms from Maxis saying: SELECTED??? "You're selected to enjoy 2 mths FREE Maxis Broadband (1.5/3GB pkg). Show this sms to redeem the offer at your nearest Maxis Centre by 31Dec09. T&C applies" Is this the offer you guys are discussing about? Any "hidden" charges? Do i need to pay anything? The modem will be given free? can keep after 2 mths ? Need to get some basic info from you guys before I make a trip down to Maxis and wasted my petrol.  Thanks.  Oh my...what a joke.  As long as you are a maxis postpaid user, you are entitled to sign up for the free 2 months broadband. |

Well, I guess even the maxis customer service are not even sure with the answer themselves.
Oh well... |

QUOTE(ezikie1 @ Dec 12 2009, 03:19 PM) thnx for the indepth summary....very helpful indeed... Really can still get the rebate from your postpaid account?just to add...if one's from te 3 group...aka the 4 months free group...the 1st 4 months are considered trail period, when even if one wanted to terminate say after 3 months due to dissatisfaction...the rm180 paid upfront will be rebated gradually via the existing postpaid mobile account... thats what the lady said when she rang me for the offer... That's great news. I want to get the RM180 modem for free but don't want to use the maxis broadband. I will check back and see then. Hopefully it's true. |

QUOTE(soul2soul @ Dec 13 2009, 12:04 AM) AFAIK Maxis is never that generous to their customers. But if it's true that the modem will eventually be rebated back to us in postpaid account, I will sign up for it. Just back from menara maxis KLCC. AskarPerang can go confirm at maxis centre? keep us updated. another 2 more weeks to go before offer ends. BTW, i read that the maxis modem is sim-locked. I understand that there are people here that can unlock it for RM30 fee.... The answer is nope. Once you terminate the maxis bb contract, the rebate will also stop. I didn't ask whether the modem is sim lock or not. The rebate is to your maxis postpaid account so I guess you can still use up the free 2 months to get RM60 back for the RM180 modem. |

QUOTE(fx_53_xt @ Dec 20 2009, 02:48 AM) i signed up today for the RM38 package at maxis centre time square. It took half an hour for the lady to click and print here and there to subscribe this BB package. Extremely inefficient. I also just signed up for the maxis bonanza promotion today. Actually wanted to do at Times Square maxis center but the service there is slow and sucks so end up subscribing at low yat plaza. My broadband is activated few hours later. Actually I only wanted the Huawei E1762 modem for RM180. Not really need maxis broadband because I already subscribe to maxis 3G mobile internet package. I will terminate the broadband after the free two months and hopefully there will be no extra charge or penalty fees for the termination. |

I can say that this maxis E1762 modem is good. Can automatic re connect. Can set the limit and other settings. Definitely worth the RM180.
