im a new subscriber for this ISP

until today, still got no problem with maxis.

and here is my speedtest result

i used this broadband for 2 places,

1. my house, area Subang Jaya USJ 12/1
2. my office, area Subang Jaya SS15

both area are with good coverage, no speed problem at all

but worried about their policy regarding
no p2p at all, and 3GB limited bandwidth.

what do u guys think about this policy? im thinking about terminating from this ISP b4 this Thursday, so that i can refund back my RM100

policy or not, it comes down to your preference .. what did you want to do with the connection in the first place

a) i'm a p2p addict - ditch maxis
b) i'm a dotard - ditch maxis
c) i'm just a humble surfer - keep it
*
well im a p2p addict too,
and im surf all day long. since my works need me to did more research.

and another question, is there any router that can be used with maxis USB E220 modem?

p/s: cracksys, are u a maxis broadband user? and i forget to mention that, i subscribed the "Power Mobile Plan"

im sending my power mobile package back for a refund and opting for celcom instead. any guides that i have to follow?

im dissapointed by it not being able to use MSN. its just stupid.
*
lol? im thinking the same thing, but then im afraid that celcom also is the same doh.gif
u cannot log in to MSN? we staying almost the same are, i have no problem with MSN at all.

i think theres is no problem with ur maxis connection, im on my MSN right now.
i think MSN is the one that have problems, try uninstall and download again a fresh copy and install the new one.

but still, no P2P!!!! arghhh!!!

do u think we should refund our money?

Use VPN Service but I bet once you have reached your 20GB Limit. they will throttle you back to 256Kbps. So imagine if you're on the Power Package (From 3.6Mbps to 256Kbps) till your next billing cycle starts !

so what is the best u can suggest for me bro?
im confused with all this ISP stuff sad.gif

Well you only have two , I would say three options

1) Subscribe to VPN Service - Look under service board , there are couple of VPN Services. They can certainly bypass Maxis' restrictions on P2P but keep in mind that there is a limit - 20GB download/upload limit. Once you have reached that , Maxis will manage your bandwidth !

2) Subscribe to torrentflux service - Again look under services noticeboard. This allows you to grab your torrents via HTTP. Pretty much the torrents gets stored in the server and you download the files either via FTP or HTTP from the server. This way nobody can throttle you as its using HTTP traffic. I've used it before and that is how I managed to get most of my files

3) Use Vuze or BitComet. Lifetimeseeder option sometimes do work for certain torrent and you can able to torrent. Keep in mind that maxis blocks most of the trackers too. This can be easily bypassed by using a proxy to connect to the tracker. The speed might be slow but it will certainly allow you to torent. when I say slow , I mean that the speeds will be 0.1 Kilobytes/sec up to 5 Kilobytes/sec

thank you prasys! thumbup.gif ur the best! notworthy.gif

20gb will enough for me laugh.gif
eyh i tot Maxis only allowed us to use until 3GB?

anyway, where is this service noticeboard located again? sorry for this question, but im getting all confused shakehead.gif

You can play your online games from 1 in the morning till 6 in the morning. This is when they unblock all the ports and lift up restrictions , so you can enjoy to play games and run p2p applications.
http://forum.lowyat.net/ServicesNoticeboard

There are tons of VPN/Torrent services provided by the forumers over there. its for you to choose. Maxis' T&C clearly states 3GB , but their staffs say that its 20GB.

bahahah, ok i found it, but VPN need to pay doh.gif

anyway, thank you prasys for all the information thumbup.gif
really appreciate it notworthy.gif
