i've also recently subscribed.. using the 'discover' package. dont need much else. still have streamyx at home(been getting progressively bad recently though).

i'm not technical, but i need it as a backup, especially when i need an internet connection urgently (if no hsdpa, at least got edge). I actually signed up maxis broadband 1 year ago. the problem is, its totally useless.. i live in subang, and it doesnt work at all. keeps disconnecting even with hsdpa full bar, i have long periods of totally nothing happening and always disconnecting. to add salt to the wound, after cancelling almost a year ago, and having to make 2 complaints, 1 by phone, the other in person at maxis centre, i am still being billed today for a service i no longer subscribe to. Will never touch maxis ever again.

bearing in mind that the service is still new, and not many users on board.. i am at least enjoying decent speeds now that are consistent, and doesn't disconnect. even in areas with no hsdpa, edge speed is consistent and reliable.

i just did a couple of speed tests.. dunno if these numbers are good or if the test is even a good reflection of performance??

dont flame me pls, i'm just sharing








if performance gets worse in future, no big deal, can cancel anytime.

yes.. i'm sure it does.

since i've been using my digi broadband a lot, and ignoring my streamyx at home.. i think i should reach my 3GB cap on my discover package very soon.

will keep you guys updated.

from digi FAQ:

- The Discover package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 3GB. Usage beyond 3GB will be charged at 15sen/10MB and will be capped at a maximum of RM138/month.
- The Explore package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 10GB. Usage beyond 10GB will be charged at 5sen/10MB and will be capped at a maximum of RM138/month.
- The Extreme package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 20GB. Usage beyond 20GB will be free although the speed will be throttled to 128kbps.

after using my digi the whole day, came back home to my streamyx.. did a speedtest as comparison, same as i did with my digi earlier.. and the test to new york and london, both timed-out.. couldnt even record a result.
really really horrible.. and i live in usj subang.
