However avg downloading speed only 270kps or 2160kbps... hmm.gif  hmm.gif Nevertheless downloading a 35MB file only took me ~45sec compare to streamyx at 1min30min.. rclxms.gif

A real suprise...probably result from the MAXIS losing battle wth MNP  hmm.gif

However this speed only achievable using Huawei E156G USB Modem. If I use Nokia N78, the speed go bck to UMTS i.e 380kbps!! rclxub.gif

@stimix

seriously the speed is REALLY improving right now. day time i managed to get over 50~70kBps download, which is really improved from 20~30kBps last time. probably because of the pressure maxis gets from consumers?

^ & ^^ shh, you guys should stop giving out speed test. continue with the bashing on Maxis and later on more people will unsubscribe. mua

haha, this is because so many people switch to celcom broadband because it perform better before.. but now, celcom gain too many customer (in 3rd quarter 2008, celcom broadband subsribers already exceeding maxis broadband subsribers).

so, celcom performance is down (due network congested) mad.gif .. and maxis performance up (due to less users) thumbup.gif .. so, why dont we divided into two groups.. half of us using maxis, while another half using celcom.. then all of us enjoying fair performance lol.. sweat.gif soon when digi launch their 3G services, more choice for us.

about MNP, i dont think its giving any major impact.. i know maxis already lost more than half a milion customers (according to some internal informer) after MNP launched.. but its only less than 5% of their total subsribers. and these users are mainly using gsm network (for voice services only), not 3g or data services.

I was told that Maxis BB is not as stable & shared line compare to Maxis 3G tied to postpaid which is unlimited..Probably this the reason why so many conmplains on BB? Sorry mine is not BB it's 3G unlimited  hmm.gif

I believe they will again create a huge crowd in this coming PC Fair! Trust me, the number of promoters in their booth is much more than their customers!

All they wanted is money! Money first, Customer second!
haha totally agreed! PC fair last year, i see maxis broadband guys (in green tshirt) everywhere.. maxis willing to hire hundreds of promoter as long as can conquer all the potential customer at PC fair..

is the celcom BB really improved? i like to move from maxisbb to celcombb, but scare both of them is the same.. maxis really make me crazy this few days.. please advise..

it depends on location and time.. but personally i prefer celcom, not saying that celcom is very good, but at least i feel celcom is better than maxis.. also celcom coverage is wider compare to maxis.
