Today i dash to my nearest hypermarket to settle my Celcom Broadband bill, but when I arrived at the shop, the counter was empty and had notice there; ” will be back in 1 hour” thus i mingle around the hypermarket and i take my time to search for other ISP internet service provider, well leave me with only a choice Maxis Broadband; 3 hours before my friend said that his ISP ( Maxis Broadband ) is doing quite good. ” I was able to download 800 mb per day “, wow that sounds great cause from my past experience, i only use maxis broadband for only 5 days and then i stop because the speed was terrible 5 kb per sec >< , well that was in the year 2007 in the first time Maxis broadband was released ..
Well I subscribe with Maxis broadband even though knowing people mocking about it often ( my friends , lowyat.net froum ^^)…. i in need of internet connection for my project, dire need ! ><
I went back to my college and try the broadband after 2 hours registration, and I was delighted as I saw the speed was blazing fast 1mb per sec, that was good for me
but suddenly after I already use about 900 mb data transfer the internet speed is starting to drop >< i was downloading a file with 120 mb that time using IDM, internet download manager with 7 chunks connection, at 80 percent of completion the speed is starting to drop but the signal was still in HSDPA mode
All the bad news about Maxis Broadband started to fill my mind, ” huh, so it is really true that there is no internet salvation in Malaysia” >< . I try to check if there is background application that maybe consume my internet speed because when i see at the software manager to monitor the maxis bandwith usage downloading rate is 200 -> 500 kbps but the downloading speed is 40 -> 60 kbps and drop to zero then went back to 40 -> 60 kbps ( repetitively ) “huh maybe there is some application sucking my internet connection in background”
So to counter the problem i use the broadband in my friend pc and it does show some different, the browsing speed become faster ( but as not as fast as i used at the first time ) and i use DU Meter to check my actual internet traffic, the downloading and uploading speed is quite relevant with the MAxis broadband software ( the only different is refresh rate of the bandwith usage is different about 1~5 seconds..
THE MAIN ISSUE IS why Maxis already capped my download when i using Internet Download Manager even though I still NOT EXCEED 3 GB of data transfer per month…
well I will keep inspecting ….
First TIme Using

At 3.44 a.m. (current time )

p/s: the internet is starting to turn fine again but somehow the browsing experience is still not as fast as the first time i used the broadband
I will chechk the speed after 3 gb capped / 3 days more
I hope the Maxis Broadband will not turn me down cause to wait for WIMAX and DIGI broadband take approximately 1 years from what i have been told by thier salesman, to depends on IIUM internet ( not even exist >< )
p/s: i should have save the speedtest of the great down time ><… will search for it in my internet history stay tune ^^
