What is XDCC?
Is it direct download such as Rapishare & Megaupload?

Oic, I thought it's direct download like Rapidshare.
Thank You for the information.



Going through this thread, can I conclude that Maxis has blocked p2p applications ?
And if so, is it 24/7 or they allow for p2p at certain times ?

Owh, I thought they totally blocked p2p applications.
It is rally a joke to know that it is only allowed at night and the speed is paltry, as you said. And since it is always disconnected, then one has to check the connection frequently to make sure that the Internet is running. If not waste electricity switching on PC, thinking that it's downloading when actually it is not.

Have to open up browser first before activating connection?? Hen ma fan!
Then after opening browser, certainly have to restart p2p application, if not surely the
apps can't resume, aiyayayayayayayya..

And yet there's still people exceeding the 20Gb cap ? Weird, LOL
Considering the fact that p2p apps can only be run at night and the frequent DCs..

The thing is that I don't surf much, & I don't really need mobility as I
don't surf while on the move. I am more into downloading movies and music albums (though I don't have time to watch the movies, too but just download it before the links was removed or afraid that there are no more seeders) .

Just wondering, is Maxis Broadband independent from TMnet ( I mean does maxis borrow / uses TMnet infrastructures or do they have their own ? )

Then I believe Maxis Broadband is not suited for me, as I like to download files for value for money reason. I hate paying monthly subscription if I'm not using my line efficiently.

Anyway, what is the upload speed?
I might consider Maxis if it offers higher upload speed than
Streamyx which is 384kbps (if I'm not mistaken)

First of all, I beg to differ with your statement that Streamyx offers 512kbps for 2mbps package is wrong.
Streamyx package for 2mb is still 384kbps, both for their normal package or their combo.
Only 4mb line gives 512kbps speed.

Anyway, going through your statement, it is very sad about the upload speed, which is far slower than Streamyx. Wonder why they didn't inform about their upload speed, maybe perhaps they don't want to be committed to the speed they said. I mean, if they say upload is 384kbps then they have to deliver the speed they've mentioned.

Have you tried uploading anything and see about the upload speed?
Try once in the day and once at night, and see the differences.
Heheh just a suggestion. Might have tried myself if I have Maxis

Lol, even though they don't go together, you have done a pretty job
Anyway, does Maxis provide ISDN lines as well? Lol ask so many question, sorry la oh

Alright, thanks you so much for the information and for entertaining my questions. I've come to the conclusion that Maxis Broadband is not suited for me, so I'll be sticking with Streamyx, until either Maxis buck up or other ISPs come up with better services.
