I want to know maxis broadband stable enough to load lowyat.net, msn, mirc, normal surfing , email, ebanking? Does maxis give their WBB users dynamic external IP or internal IP? (this is important to me because I do use Mirc sometimes).

I tried out their mobile internet at RM99 /month and I have to say I had a very good experience with maxis. I don't use Bit torrent so I didn't have much problem with that. I was also given an unique external IP address and I have no problem logging on to MSN/Yahoo Messenger.

So , my question is, can this experience be replicated to their RM68/month wireless broadband service?

thanx for answering. (thinking of subscribing to the lower end service)

thanks for answer. how about normal surfing? is it fast or you have to wait seconds for lowyat forum to load?

Looks like maxis terminated their ZTE modem wireless series and came out with "sim card only wireless service".

RM78 a month with RM10 rebate x 12 months. No contract, can terminate anytime, no penalty. Speed 2mbps, cap 2 Gig data.

Has anyone tried this out yet?

I have heard that Celcom is slowly penetrating the broadband market.

I think 2Gig limit is just too little...

Any comments on this package?

1.5 Gig for RM48/month with FREE modem, and FREE first 2 months subscription. So that will be about RM40/month with free modem. (if you subscribe more for 12 months). The catch is if you terminate the subscription before 6 months, you wont' get the free modem. I suspect the rebates for modem will only be given from 6th month onwards, so technically this is a 1 year contract.

Looks like a good deal.... what do you all think?

I suspect Digi is going to offer something similar...

My friend , maxis one club member got a better offer

1. 4 months free
2. 38/month
3. probably 1 year contract
4. RM180 upfront to get free modem, to be rebated 30/month (when i don't know)

Thinking of signing for this offer.

But i don't like the T&C, it says the offer is valid AS LONG AS the user remains Maxis One Club member to be evaluated every year... sounds fishy right?

AFAIK Maxis is never that generous to their customers. But if it's true that the modem will eventually be rebated back to us in postpaid account, I will sign up for it.

AskarPerang can go confirm at maxis centre? keep us updated. another 2 more weeks to go before offer ends.

BTW, i read that the maxis modem is sim-locked. I understand that there are people here that can unlock it for RM30 fee....

stay away from maxis, this is my honest advice.
