GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to 114 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as WAP access, 3G networks are wide-area cellular telephone networks that evolved to incorporate high-speed Internet access and video telephony, for those using maxis 3G, they also can use their device to make a phone call.

Hey all, i just upgraded mine to Maxis unlimited 3G RM 99 few weeks back and im loving it! i tested the 3G speed in my area by connecting my phone to my laptop and i got this so i've been using 3G instead of streamyx to download some stuff cuz its 2.5 times faster then my current streamyx speed! my data usage shows i hav already hit 1GB mark. i have 1 question, does maxis have a "soft cap" of which they will throttle down your speed after a certain amount of data usage?

yeah.. i was on maxis 3G before... borrow from my fren when he went overseas for a week. downloaded a couple of movies.. damn fast... then the next week,i can't get past 1Mbps. called CS and they told me it's already over 4Gig of data downloaded, so the speed got throttled. wtf? haih... it's not that worst but at that rate, streamyx was definitely faster.
if you're on the move and need to go online using laptops, then the 3G plan unlimited is the best. but for downloads and home usage, still streamyx or jaring is the best out there.
about maxis postpaid plans, haih.. i've been on 150 plan for almost 2 years now and i'm actually quite disappointed with it. Rates aren't that good, especially sms rates to other telco. At one point, my SMS were more than that of my call... costing me RM260 compared to calls RM100 only. WTF? then i bought prepaid for celcom and digi and just use them when SMS. now, my bill down to 160 to 200 again and the prepaid usage is around RM30 per month. so, still well within my monthly budget.
i think that's the best way to go around. have all 3 of the major telco lines, and pick one for your postpaid... have the other 2 as prepaid. u will save a lot,that's from my experience.

that time although my fren has 60 days to top up, but he too lazy, everytimes wait til last day only go to find reload card, that was bad thinking. actually he can top up 1-few days days before due date, and buy a card to standbay first, but he didnt , everytime just wait til last day , then rush here rush there find reload card. not same now, after expired the credit stil remained same, jz cant call out, and has enough time to top up again.
