Damn it. So slow ><

New Maxis Wireless Broadband user here, on Power Package (3.6Mbps).

Just wondering,...

Why can't I play Gunz at all while on this broadband? So far I'm really satisfied with its results but the disappointing part is that I'm unable to play some games...

I CAN'T SIGN IN TO WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER.

Every day I come back from school, and I need WLM to communicate with friends....

I have to resort to meebo..

Any one has any suggestions on what messenger can bypass the block imposed on WLM? Thanks a bunch...

Pro pro, oh my darling pro, PLEASE tell us what do we do about this... I can't survive without WLM... My girlfriend boyfriend all cari me leh.. without WLM I feel lonely...

Sometimes, I think back and ask myself 'why did I go for maxis WIRELESS broadband?'

I loved the wired one, NEVER disconnects, never had any problems with latency or dcdc....

Speed VERY bad though. 50KB/s. Yes. KB/s. And I was on 768kbps plan.

That is the answer I'm looking for. Thanks prasys.

I'm using the 3.6Mbps package. =)

Here's some staggering speeds. One reason to LOVE Maxis





I now finally find the 3.6Mbps quote is CLOSE to accurate. =)

@someone_stupid:

Google for 'hotspot shield'. Download the file from the site, and install.

When you need to use WLM, select 'Hotspot Shield Launch' (which should be created on your desktop) and it will open a page in your Firefox or IE7, stating that it is connecting. Let it connect on its own.

When it is connected, you will see a wierd icon on your taskbar in green. That's signalling your Hotspot Shield is connected.

Anyway @digswell & teckdq,

Is there any site that allows FAST http downloading? Rapidshare sucks. 1st minute 60kB/s.... 5th minute 5kB/s

Anyone having problems connecting now? I'm experiencing highest 10kB/s now... With IDM even I can't push the speed up. Someone please post your feedback here ASAP.

Screw Maxis. Disconnecting so frequently since Friday. Have to keep going back to 192.168.0.1 and selecting Manual Connect

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

I've got almost the same speed for 1-2 weeks, but recently my old ZTE modem which is awaiting replacement with a new black one (don't know the brand just yet) has not been able to connect to HSDPA when there is an availability of it - I'll have to resort to the slower EDGE (20kB/s max).

Am I being capped?

Ish. I get 400kB/s MAX on IDM though

I just did it too. Brought the ZTE MF600 (white colour one) back to Maxis Centre TTDI and swapped for a black ZTE unknown model one. Speed is super now. No DC anymore too

EDIT: I didn't pay any penalty or registration, I used my old account with the new modem.

are you here to fanboy? If so, then reported.

I got this as a result.

Should be. I brought the modem back and they just took out a new black one, a new SIM card and gave to me.

Just a tip - MAKE SURE they give you a new SIM card, the old MF600's SIM card isn't compatible with the black modem. I wasn't able to use the Internet the whole of last day because of this - I went in and totally forgot about the SIM card.

Yup. Make sure it's a Maxis Centre though.

I'll share my tips ere: I heard of the new modem through 1 Utama's outlet - they said it isn't possible to change the modems, and requested me to terminate the white modem's plan and swap. I went to the real Maxis Center in TTDI and got it free. So you should get what I mean.

I second korbin's comment - have you exceeded the 3GB data limit? When I did I had to revert to EDGE connection because they just cut me off of the HSDPA connection, and I got the highest speeds of 20KB/s...

What's GPRS BTS equipment? And if they focus on data isn't that good? care to explain bro? I'm stumped.

Correction: Don't get Maxis BB if you're a heavy gamer/torrenter/downloader like this guy here.

Maxis BB is meant for fast surfing and e-mailing and you-know-what. Not meant for you to use and download all your pr0n. If you still wanna download go get Steamyx lah.

What is this? Care to elaborate? So far I've never heard of an unlimited broadband plan from Maxis, except their wired BB...

Well, if you ask me 3GB is too little for me too, but I guess to maintain this good speed it's worth sacrificing downloading less for. Sometimes you never know, the extra 1kBps will help you.

Also, what for if the speed slow, connection shaky and nothing goes right? Personally I've never heard any complaints about Celcom, guess it's good, but the modem itself is a bomb, complain also no use alr, because you've already bought it. Digi Explore? Heard of it, never went into detail before so not entirely sure.

If you finish your 3GB cap before the month ends, your speed will be throttled (mine got throttled to 20kBps< DL) until the next payment month.

Unlimited, you can download until your HDD is overloaded.

Monitor yourself.
Ouch. Well I get 20kBps when I use IDM. So mine should be around that speed too.
