Update on using Maxis..
While giving up Streamyx, I start looking for other broadband package. The first thing came across my mind is Maxis Broadband which is very famous recently. I throw a lot of question to their operators because I want to ensure I have a better or equal with streamyx. Money is not a problem I am a web internet marketer therefore I need a fast upload and download broadband.
After few years Q&A with Maxis support team, I came out this individu report for MAXIS. Actually MAXIS is not as good as what i was thinking..
Here we have:
MAXIS ATE MODEM: with a portable modem which is good for those almost work from home. Need power adapter. Initially I was using it but found that it is very very slow. MAXIS Broadband has a 4 type of network mode- HDSPA, 3G, EDGE, GPRS. At my room, I only get GPRS which is the slowest 56kps speed. I was moving the modem up and down but due to the limited LAN cable length, I was not able to get a good network. So the next day, I changed USB wirelsss MODEM.
USB Wireless MODEM: if your situtation is like mine, I advice you to terminate the previous account and apply for new USB MODEM because this could save your RM100. the modem is small and light.. good for mobiling . The intelligent is it can install software automatically once you plug in the USB cable. I carry this USB Modem with my IBM laptop. Walking around in my room like feng sui master. Finally i realize that different square fit in my room has different strength of signal . For example, I receive 2 bar GPRS at my desk but I can get 3 bar HDSPA on my bed. Things you need to bare in mind to get the fastest signal
1)Check with MAxis Operator to ensure your area is under high speed coverage
2)make sure your house main door or window is opened so that the signal won’t distorted. just imagine you are sending a pigeon out but if you lock the door,how the pigeon getting out from your house?
3)reposition the USB Modem at different location such as below your leg or on your head.
In summary, both MAXIS broad band cannot attract me and I will return it within 7 days. The reason is because they are not enough fast to satisfy my job. There is one thing in MAXIS, which is the MAXIS wired broadband, but unfortunately this is only for certain area like Klang Valley.
By the way, I will stay back on Streamyx because I have no choice. MAXIS Broadband cannot even SMOOTHLY perform youtube, adsense, outlook update, etc during in Highest speed HDSPA 3.6Mpbs . If you are online gamers, then forget about that. And you can forget about Celcom Wireless broadband as well. As we know, cable is still much stable than Wave unless MAXIS put more efffort on the development…
