n we have to wait for next month to get connected back??

please provide me with more info since i still have 6 days trial which i dun have to pay rm200 if i want to terminate my maxis wbb......

If you can use Streamyx, use streamyx, or even Jaring.

If you want an accurate and detailed answer, I would suggest that you call Maxis Broadband Customer Service @ 1 800 82 2000

oh shit, i signed up maxisbb power user. Then i found this 3GB rules.
damn...the worst is, when i tested with skype video call, xunlei live tv in good result, sufing net in fast speed　ｗｉｔｈｉｎ　７　ｄａｙｓ　ｔｒｉａｌ　ｐｅｒｉｏｄ，　ｉ　ｈａｄ　ｔｅｒｍｉｎａｔｅｄ　ｍｙ　ｔｍｎｕｔ　ｓｔｒｅａｍｙｘ　ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ．　ｗｈａｔ　ｉ　ｃａｎ　ｄｏ　ｎｏｗ．

Get Maxis 3G Unlimted

I did not know that this was the right place, just posted my Celcom experience in Kopitiam:

Hello all, I have just been screwed by Celcom. I am on the postpaid Executive 50 plan and I seldom make more than RM30 worth of calls each month. Have been their customer now for 18 months. Two days ago, Streamyx was really bad so I tried using the celcom line as a modem to access the internet. It could not have been more than 2-3 hours.

Yesterday they barred the line and I just made payment of the last bill. Today when I call up, guess what, my bill is RM550 plus that means I spent over RM500 for just those 2-3 hours on data. According to them the charge is 10 cents for a kilobyte (unbelievable, that work out to RM1 per 10kb, RM10 for 100kb and RM100 for 1mb) that means I must have used 5mb plus of bandwidth in the 2-3 hours.

How sneaky and unfair! If they can offer a daily unlimited rate of RM6.00, could they not just cap daily usage at RM10 assuming one did not pre-buy a day's committment?

Also if my monthly plan is RM50.00, how can they allow the bill to shoot up to RM550.00 before they decide to bar the line?

I think these data rates are absolutely outrageous and daylight robbery. To add salt, they say they can't do anything about it till the next billing statement unless I pay. So no line for a month...

Anyone else been zapped by such thieving celcos? Can I appeal and do I have any chance of reduction? Their customer service is manned by robots who know very little.

it is really true the will suspend the account if reach 3GB limit??

but to me it does not limit anything.. i just download and until now i allready use 11 GB download

weird..

huhuhu

Attached thumbnail(s)

here is the latest update. they activate back my account. but this month my bill got this RM 20 extra in the Other charges

so please clear this one for me

is there are 3GB limit cap? my trial ends this saturday. and now i am not satisfied with the speed. not getting anything above 7 kBps at the moment when surfing

really bad

they told me got 3gb limit. they say will slow down my speed if over limit,
but they suspended my account for 3 DAYS and now they extra charge me RM 20!!.

Suspend me and still Over Charge me!

obefiend, 7kBps is quite slow. I can get 70kBps on 640kbps package

At this point of time I would recommend you to stop subscription with Maxis broadband and try out other broadband choices. Yes, there is 3GB limit imposed by Maxis, but as far as I know, some manage to download more than that while some get limited after they hit the limit. Therefore, it is pretty much subjective..

hmm my brother's maxis wbb can't login today, not sure if it's already over 3GB limit. will try later or tomorrow and report back.

what i know digi will cap yr data cost to rm128 i think if u nt on unlimited plan and yr bill won't shoot up accidently...like wht happen to those celcom users...

but my maxis very stable and get good speed
no p1 here
celcom i heard others staying here no good
cancelled streamxy coz keep dc for one whole week!

Somtimes when maxis is in a good mood.

My Maxis Boradbandwidth also got capped today. The Cust Care ppl informed me that normal browsing speed can only be achieved by early April 2009.

This is so unfair to Maxis Boradband user. When we applied for the package, we were informed that the maximum 3GB bandwidth per month limitation is only a hidden wirtten policy which will not be enforced at all. I even call them up at least three times for the first three months to clarify on that term of usage. Same answer was given "NO LIMITATION AT ALL, 3GB LIMITATION IS JUST A WRITTEN POLICY'.

Welcome to the land of BANDWIDTH CAP

My brother already hogging Streamyx...what other option available now??

Errr...if *they* say the rules will not be enforced...wtf did they make the rule in the first place??? Don't ever believe salesman talk....read the black & white (contract) because that is the only thing that matters.

i got see ppl using maxis broadband to do downloading activities heavily. it's sure suspended by them.
