Hi there guys,

I got hold of the Maxis Broadband USB Modem package today. Was using it for while and realise there is a problem. Just wondering whether it is caused by the modem itself.

When using the broadband for a while, possibly around 10 - 30minutes time, a error message will appear stating some king of "Generic Host for Win32.exe" Error. After that, i will not be able to connect back again unless i restart my PC.

Tried this on another laptop and same effect. Anyone has the same error and is it caused by the modem itself?

I personally have good connection speed from them. Running on HSDPA most of the time on the Power Mobile package.

However, i do afree with waif. I am facing disconnection issues lately. Whether i am surfing or not, it just disconnect itself and i need to reconnect again.

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.

Well, i called Maxis before and they say any subscribtion < 1 year will incure a RM200 processing fee for any termination.
