anyway, just a casual observation tat i made the other day at maxis...

they are now offering free modem for 3 and 5 month subscription...

BUT THEN...ALL AROUND MALAYSIA, most of the maxis center tell u they outta stock..or the stock not yet come (dunno when come)=same effect as no stock lah...including the one in my area..tats y i take their 1 month package 1st..

so, wat's the point of having a promo when they dun have enuf modem to go around with?...its like saying "i have a lot of money, but rite now i dun have any money with me..." shakehead.gif

juz some casual observation...anyway, the promotion is said to end today (30 Aopril2010)...let's see if suddenly they got stock onot... tongue.gif
*
wait a minute, i thought the promotion end on 31st may?

just something about to add about the block/throttle that maxis practiced.

iirc, around beginning of this year, maxis blocked everyone when the quota was reached and directed the user to a page that forced the user to buy their quota should they wish to continue surfing. before this, users were able to continue with lower speed after quota was reaced. they did not sufficiently notify the users and this blocking was applied to new and current users of the maxis bb.

interestingly, right before this blocking, maybe around end of 2009, they had a promotion of some sort which lured people in. i am just wondering if maxis would do the same thing again when this promotion ends and give us another 'surprise'.

correct me if i got it wrong.

u mean mylaunchpad? this is maxis site to check on the bb usage/etc.
this site always got problem 1 wor.. nothin to do with throttle speed.

oh, its because of the comments from eguy here
QUOTE(Eguy1314 @ May 9 2010, 03:14 AM)
Yeah, capped speed ..
Got 4-5 bars... >.<

After the speed capped ..i hardly able to connect to internet , it said connection terminated and so on. After get into internet, cant load picture in lowyat also and need constant refresh..really suffering  sad.gif
*
seems that the 128kbps after capped is really unusable, i thought loading simple pictures and texts from lyn should be relatively ok. sad.gif

Sometimes hard to connect, but after capped you can really feel the speed so slow sia..  sad.gif

yeah, i was thinking if stable connect and also get maybe average 12kB per second still ok. but seems very easy disconnect thats why having 2nd thoughts. i bet you would potong after the rebates are finished rite?
