@string,
Sorry OT,

How's the usage then? I tried the maxis unlimited data plan and the speed and coverage is seriously crap. Thought of changing to Celcom since MNP is around.

Thanks for your reply.

@String and Coolerthings,

OT again!

Thanks for the reply. One last question, are u able to login to fring or any messenger using ur data plan (Not wifi)? I tried mine with a few areas (PJ area like SS2, SS16, Sunway area around pyramid, SS15, Kajang, Cheras, Damansara area, all these areas i can't logon at all, it gets timeout. Most of the time i'm on Edge rather than 3G..

Can ignore places like KLCC since bloody maxis tower is so near so surely those places sure can connect..

Note: Maxis Wireless Broadband has the same problem as well!

Salutes for your hasty reply! smile.gif

Alrighty. I guess Maxis data coverage is really crappy compared to Celcom.

If possible, if anyone would be kind enough to test out connecting to MSN or any messenger running on ur Celcom data plan? (Edit: On your iPhone!)

Thanks for the feedback Stringfellow. Appreciate it!

@Nokia,

You should try loading those heavy pages on Maxis data plan, you would appreciate your Celcom data plan so much more. XD

What the...

I've just received a message from Maxis telling me this:

"Maxis is offering free internet settings for your Apple iPhoneA1203"

Wow? Seems that Maxis is really preparing for iPhone..

Yeah.. Just have some patience and wait. Malaysia is always slower when launching new products or new techs.

More 3G users => more ppl sharing one bandwidth => insufficient bandwidth coz too many users => crappy bandwidth => lots of comsumer complains => introduce 4G, 5G, 6G,etc

No?

they wont easily introduce 4 5 6
they just need to upgrade the bandwith

coz u tot cheap to develope 4 5 or 6 here?
even 3G also not widely use, how they dare to go further? try to make themselves go bankrupt?

just add more towers and increase bandwidth will do
now digi coming in with 3G
tat make them compete to try serve the consumer well
we just need to wait and see

Of course i know its not cheap to deploy it here. But that would be the direction they are heading to, from the looks of it, since 3G are not widely use, i'm not suprised they would move forward to 4G straight.

Then again, its just speculations, so what do I know? Lolz..

like i said.. even 3G not widely use
what the point to move forward to use huge sum of money to get advance stuff
while most ppl here is not educated to fully use current technology, which is 3G =/

they already dump a big sum of money on 3G
and cant even maintain and handle it well, wanna go to upper level?
i duno
it will be, but sure wont be SOON
at least 3 or 5 years more?  unsure.gif

Well, this we will never know, its purely up to our dearest gov to see whether they are willing to do something about it or not. Telcos only deploy while our gov still decides on the licensing and who to do what.

Hopefully we will see better broadband coverage and speed so we can stop cursing and enjoy the full benefit of "Broadband"!

Oh well, pray hard now..... blink.gif
