Many times while surfing the net last night, I thought that I was using GPRS/EDGE...
Checked my settings, but, NOOOOOO, it IS on HSDPA/UTMS!
Sigh...it's so freaking slow...

Anyway, read in the previous thread that we should remove the battery to avoid overheating. So, how do you that with the new modem??

Even if it's only 1GB usage per week for me, I NEVER got that speed.

Err...can someone tell me, HOW DO YO REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE NEW MODEM???

This is my speed this morning. I'm NOT a happy customer until today!
Too bad I have no choice..

Err...dude. I really don't have a choice! Screamyx gave me WORST problem than this! Trust me, you DON'T even want me to get started.

Trust me, you DON'T KNOW what Screamyx did that made me KILL them OFF my list. There were a HUNDRED and TWO reasons why they suddenly cancelled my account! Stupid, lame excuseS. I said excuseS (with an 'S') because FOUR different customer service officers gave me FOUR different EXCUSES. Now, which one do I want to listen to? NEITHER!

Oh by the way, Screamyx better than Maxshit in terms of corporate attitudes?? I don't know if you have read enough, but Screamyx's corporate attitudes - you have not heard yet. So, you get the lay down of the cronies in Maxshit, while I heard abt the cronies in Screamyx. They're FAIR now - both are in the issue.


I think you understand my problem with Screamyx now then.

And although I HATE the speed Maxis is providing, I can still stay connected, UNLIKE that UNWISE Screamyx MOVE to cancel my account!

I know Maxshit is shit (say that again), yet I think I'll stick to it coz my area not much choice. Far WORST is DEFINITELY SCREAMYX. This is based on my previous personal experience with them and RIGHT NOW, the CONTINUOUS dc in our office. We are paying rm688/mth and yet the service is BEYOND the word TERRIBLE. And the worst part is, my call was dropped 3 times while speaking to the CSE before I got thru again and told the next CSE "I dont care if you don't do call backs, but you better do something if this call is disconnect, or we will disconnect your service of paying such large amt for such lousy connection!" Yeah, I said that - and I'm not even the boss! Haha~

I hate the speed Maxshit is providing (who doesn't??), yet to be honest, I've never had dc as TERRIBLE as Sreamyx! With Maxshit, I could be dc for a few mins, but with Screamyx, I dont even want to start saying FEW hours...Having said that, I'd rather carry my Maxshit modem to office rather than wait for that stupid DSL on my TM Billion modem to blink!! @#$%^&*!!

i was not able to connect last nite....

erghh~ why??! WHY CAN'T MAXIS JUST LET ME HAVE ONE-MIDNIGHT-VOICE-CHAT WITH MY BF OVER YAHOO MESSENGER??!!

I've been using MaxisBB for almost a year now. No complaints except the already-known-slow-connection. Yet, two weeks ago, the connection became from lousy to TERRIBLE! I get frequent disconnection although the modem page says it's connected. And sometimes, limited connection.

I called up the customer service, and as we all know, they suck. Keep asking me to reset this that and everything else. I told them to save their saliva because I've already tried all the setting combination possible and it's not working.

They also asked where I'm living, so I said it's a high rise building on level 7, and they went like, "Ohh, it is difficult up there". Difficult your a** la, I've been using it for almost one year, and suddenly one fine day, it's difficult??? (ok, well, I didn't exactly say a**, hehe). Finally, after harassing them twice that day, they asked me to bring my modem to the counter to check.

Yesterday, I went to KLCC and demanded to CHANGE the modem. Funny thing is, the first question that came out of they staff's mouth is, "Yes Miss, termination?" Wakakaka!! Anyway, changed my modem and he tried to show me that the modem is fine by going online. I said "Fine" but I thought, well, I know how this stupid connection works, "Berlagak baik depan orang Maxis!" Haha.

So, went home, tried to connect, failed, try again, failed, nevermind - maybe connection is trying to establish itself, then connect again, ok-pass. But after sometime, I noticed it's doing it again - the same type of problem I had for the past two weeks. Only this time, it wasn't so bad.

I'm beginning to seriously think about termination. Maybe I'll try again later tonight, and if it fails on me, I'm gonna send it back for good tomorrow eh. I don't know what other broadband can support my area.. Haihh.. What's weird is Screamyx can't (although I could see their bloody tower from my apartment!). Sigh~
