Maxis Broadband? Or Celcom Broadband?

advertisement

I am currently using Maxis Broadband myself, however it has come to my attention that Celcom Broadband also provide similar service, but with a better performance. Maxis Broadband is good enough for my use, but I heard a lot of people complaint about it, so should I change to Celcom Broadband? If anyone of you viewing this post are one of the users for both services please leave your opinion below so that I can compare both of them.

    A warning from one consumer to another:

    DO NOT SIGN UP TO MAXIS BROADBAND!

    If you love your kids, don’t let them use Maxis broadband.
    Kids who surf slower, learn slower and with the added pressure from having an unstable internet connection and constant disconnection could lead them to having suicidal tendencies at such a young age.

    IF YOU LOVE YOUR KIDS, SAY NO TO MAXIS BROADBAND!

  21. Roz Ariffin on December 12th, 2008 at 12:49 pm:

    Hey guys, i thought you wanna hear this.

    Last month, i just download almost 40 GB including movie, music,software,and games using Maxis Broadband!! Yeah, if you using small modem (RM 138), then it’s not working very well to download because it function to surf web, not downloading.

    But if you guys use big modem (ZTE, RM 98,)it can be use to download all great stuff by no limitation. Maxis just say 3 GB per month but i don’t think they doing their job to check how much user download per month.

    I will upload word document about how to tweak Maxis Broadband very soon. In other word, you can visit this website to download movie and tv show for free.

    http://www.thecoolwebsite.co.uk/

    Not so much Malaysian at there but this is alternative way to download tv show and movie other than torrent.

  22. shah on December 14th, 2008 at 4:45 pm:

    before this i used maxis broadband, which is so-so, then before 7-days cool-off period, i’ return it back, then i try celcom broadband, which is great for me, which is like to download things, whereas in maxis line, to download is like living hell

  23. joe on December 21st, 2008 at 10:32 pm:

    4 me i’ll say no to celcom broadband!!!!!
    There’s few reson reason about it:
    1. celcom have 5gb limit and maxis have 3gb limit, but my data usage every month was 10gb (you know p2p use very large data transfer) and i still got to connect to the internet without any interrupted connection. and i notice that a friend of my,also hardcore p2p user, said that his celcom broadband cannot connect at all after it reach the bandwidth.
    2. maxis user can cut their broadband any time but celcom user only left with 2 chooses pay rm499 or stay 4 2years

  24. iskandar faliq on January 1st, 2009 at 10:38 pm:

  28. Bruce on February 5th, 2009 at 1:06 pm:

    I think Internet access in Malaysia is problematic at best, however reading some of the posts, some service providers are please some customers some of the time.

    I have tried all wireless services available to me in KL, none of them worked very well, and in response to the original post, Celcom has proved the worst for me personally. Most of the time it does not work at all, after successful logon I do not receive any data at all, and then suddenly it will give me 5 or 6 minutes of “broadband” internet access before coming to a complete stop once again.

    I think most of the providers simply do not have the capacity they are selling and they may even be selling from a single “pool” of internet access so if you live in a bad access area you are unlikely to get an improved service from another provider.

    Any service provider “engineers” care to comment on that? Or are you too embarrassed to come on line?

    Anybody have any luck with wireless internet in Bukit Bintang area please let me know which provider you are using.

    How about Mykis anybody have any experience with this service?

    Thanks

    Bruce

  29. Zantz on February 15th, 2009 at 6:00 pm:

    The best that I’ve ever used is P1 Wimax! Why? Cause I reliable and fast compare to Streamyx, Maxis Broadband Wired or Wireless, Celcom Broadband & iZZiNet.

    Right now I’m using Maxis Broadband Wireless & is sux! It kill me second by second since I can’t do much things such as download. P1 Wimax currently use at my office since we already get fed up with Streamyx & their support. P1 Wimax give us a peace of mind to do things in our office since my boss already screw us with Steamyx line.

    Therefore, choose your ISP (Internet Service Provider) correct. Check your location & the package that they offer. Don’t go subcribe or you will reget later.

    I’m changing my Maxis broadband to P1 Wimax tomorrow since it still got 7 days cooling agreement.

    MAXIS BROADBAND DAMN SUCK ASS!!

    THEY SUCK OUR MONEY BY GIVING THEIR SHIT! LOTS OF HIDDEN COST..

  32. regent on February 17th, 2009 at 10:30 pm:

    but Wimax damn limited in coverage. Either way, internet in Malaysia screw up. ONly good internet ever exist is the FON , PenangFon and MetroFon.

    P.S: StreamyX sucks cause need stupid phone line and modem

  33. Marley on March 4th, 2009 at 6:28 pm:

  38. Titanic Again on April 19th, 2009 at 11:31 pm:

    Only the word can say with you……that maxis broadband which is lowest packages are very bad even is starter or advanced but the most highest package is better than normal standard, it can use for download or search web as possible and its speed is about half of 3.6 mbps on bright sunny day but cannot use it for rainning season even thought the sky is becoming dark so the percentages to use it on these season are very low!!!It is my heartfelt wishes so don’t waste times to thinking about each others……

  39. nonameppl on April 26th, 2009 at 11:26 pm:

    maxis broadband very bad bad bad …rm118 speed like 56k modem..tooooo bad :evil: :cry:

  40. MOHD AZMIN on April 27th, 2009 at 1:02 pm:

    Hi guys,
    I suggest not to used Maxis BroadBand either Celcom Broadband.. there is hidden word using by the saleperson… U only can download 3Gigabytes permonth.. what the fuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkk… if yr usage more then 3Gigabytes yr speed trottle will become slower and slower….. (as per inform by maxis center person). But this thing not told by salesperson…..

  41. uzumaki_luffy on April 28th, 2009 at 10:11 am:

    to me maxis bb is just fine..i just download almost 10gig in one day..plus I’m in segamat which is very “kampung” area..it still work best..guess what?now I’m downloading prison break and chuck simultaneously.. :grin:

  42. ed on May 6th, 2009 at 9:58 pm:

    stupid celcom BB never told about 5g limited or the speed will be reduce. Not in agreement never mention by any sales person or customer service. Ive bean cheat hope celcom bisnes goes down….arrrrrrrrgh

  43. FATguy on May 13th, 2009 at 3:33 pm:

    maix broadband reallly sucks cuz when i ply games…lag alot…
    and pay rm 100+ per month for what….

  44. ali on May 18th, 2009 at 6:51 am:

    :evil: both suck, with fair usage policy of 3GB(maxis) and 5GB(celcom) monthly. 24/7 using torrent die lorr. you reach that limit your broadband become blockband. daily usage almost 5 GB (5 movies + video streaming) better go for Streamyx.

  45. maxis cheat on May 20th, 2009 at 5:55 pm:

    penipu punyer services. maxis tipu orang.

  46. Renee on May 22nd, 2009 at 8:45 am:

    I used both but maxis never throttle my connection speed after I downloaded more than 10gb but celcom immediately throttle my connection down to below 10kbps after I exceeded 5gb. WTH!?! I paid so much and you only let me use my connection for 3 days? Very angry at celcom now :mad:

  47. Kab on May 30th, 2009 at 11:51 am:

    I am a loyal maxis customer. But for it’s broadband,I would advise u guys not to use it. It’s really bad and you will regret it, believe me. The line disconnected about 5 to 6 times in an hour and for your info, I’m living opposite to Sunway Pyramid,not is some villages. I called the customer service complaining abt this but they hang up my call. really pissed off.

  48. joe on June 1st, 2009 at 9:04 pm:

    celcom broadband is better than maxis n streamyx, but winet broadband still the best…no contract, no phone line n no bill

  49. Gyed on June 3rd, 2009 at 9:58 am:

    Ya maxisBB is VERY BAD….after a month using it it’s become slower than the 7days of trial and it’s true that when the weather is changing (cloudy or rain)…huh!! disconnect all the time.

  50. ajira on June 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 am:

    I’ve been using celcom BB for 1 year +, living in Klang area.
    Speed is okay but I just hate the limit. 5 gig is too smaaallll. The fair usage policy is stated in the agreement, so cant really complaint. But on the other hand, we DID PAY for the speed. Sending a complain email to celcom now. Do I need to move to singapore for better internet services?? urgh.

  51. SegambutGuy on June 3rd, 2009 at 1:01 pm:

    I got my Maxis BB when I bought my HP laptop in a package. So I don’t need to pay the bill for 2 years – well actually paid up front at discounted rate (saving close to RM1500 for both).

    In 1st year (2008), the connection is just nice for browsing but downloads speed like snail. However, I notice since this year, the performance has improved. And recently I upgraded my modem software provided at Maxis BB website (http://www.maxis.com.my/maxisbb/) and notice the download speed is even better.

    From my experience, last year to download 100MB file from rapidshare is so difficult. But now I can easily download it in less than ½ an hour. I also have no issue with their fair usage – I think they don’t enforce this as I never felt the speed dropping.

    But to honestly, I would love to try WiMax…

  52. dan on June 5th, 2009 at 4:45 pm:

    Maxis BB. threw out from my window oredi. i only used it for 5 months. terminate the service even to pay 200 for penalty. they do limit your 3GB usage. (both UL/DL). eventually while your “torrenting”, it counts UL and DL tgether. for 2 days, there goes your 3GB capacity. then you will be “enjoying” narrow band service for the balance of the month. first month was good, this is the tactic. believe me. just cut it last week.

  53. antonio on June 7th, 2009 at 4:34 pm:

    I m celcom BB user. Every night I cant sleep well bcoz I worried about my celcom BB usage will exceed 5G. But nt download v my celcom BB, I really wonder wat I can do v its connection… However, I m still paying my MONEY to celcom. :cry: :cry:

  55. hj yusof on June 9th, 2009 at 10:20 pm:

    BLOODY celcom broadband!!!

    i have BEEN very very patience with your STUPID broadband. i registered some time in april AND until today june i cannot get the service. each time i complained to the vendor at giant stadium shah alam who cheated me into this company - she would called the broadband careline service and assured me everything was ok. but when i tried at home ttdi jaya shah alam - the same problem - it only last for 1 or 2 minutes and then - the page cannot be displayed, cannot find server … again i brought my laptop to see them but then it seemed to be running well at that time and accused me of lying …

    FED UP WITH THIS STUPID COMPANY THAT MADE FALSE PROMISES TO THE PEOPLE THROUGH CHEAP ADVERTISEMENT - i endured the suffering!! When asked to stop the service and go for MAXIS broadband i was asked to pay penalty of RM300 for breaching the contract of 18 months. SO NO CHOICE - both hands wranggled at the back TRAPPED IN THE CELCOM SCAMP - suffered in silence with enless curses for being cheated - MAY YOUR COMPANY FALL AND BE GROUNDED FOREVER AMIN RABBALALAMIN …. I TAK REDHO AND TAK HALALKAN DUNIA AKHIRAT PENIPUAN YANG JELAS MENINDAS …

    LUCKILY my wife is using MAXIS BROADBAND - BLODDY FANTASTIC SERVICE!!!! Non stop endless service the whole day without INTERRUPTION AT ALL!!! You think I am lying - come to my house at 57 Jalan Firasat U2/13, Taman TTDI Jaya Shah Alam and see for yourself!!! WE ALL SIMPLY LOVE MAXIS!!!! in the end YOUR STUPID VODAFONE is left idle now waiting for your summons because I SIMPLY REFUSE TO PAY THE MONTHLY CHARGES!! Any CRAZY people can see - why should we pay for something that we cannot use!!! UNLESS YOU’RE A BLOODY JEWS!!!

    To begin with, i debated with my wife earlier whether to buy celcom or maxis. but because she was using MAXIS - the POWERFUL and the COMPETENT - we decided that i gave celcom a try because the promises made on its broadband advertisement seemed TRUTHFULL!!! ALAS … Finally i discovered through curses the horrible truth about this product by this company - BLOODY SWINDLER!!!! Now trapped because i cannot terminate the ’service’ or pay penalty of RM 300 …. i just have to endure the misery

  56. kiki on June 11th, 2009 at 3:59 pm:

    omg now im scared!!! i just terminated my stremyx cuz i wanted to subscribe to celcom broadband. while using stremyx i had no problem using it everyday (im a heavy user) but since i want to be able to access internet anywhere, anytime (Not just at home) i decided to terminate it..

    however, im having a second thought now… I am a HEAVY USER: download musics, movies almost everyday, playing online game, surfing, etcetc… but with the capped 5gb!! OMG OMG!! die lar cenggini!! apatah lagi i live in kampung area with no HDSPA coverage *screams and faints*

    maxis??? tak terlintas dalam hati nak subcribe to it :/

    proly i should’ve just stayed with stremyx *cries in agony*

  57. crisisang on June 14th, 2009 at 8:25 am:

    I subscribed to streamyx celcombb maxisbb, my final choice is maxis bb, streamyx service is very very very very lousy, complaint and came to my site many time but still cannot solve the frequent disconnet problem, they even said your NEW pc got problem!!! celcom average download speed for me is about 0.4mbps, lowest is 0.12mbps, highest 1.1mbps, although 5GB is more attracted than 3GB, but surf with this speed i’ll be melted soon, getting hotter and hotter while waiting, but maxis provide me average 1mbps, lowest 0.6mbps, highest 2.4mbps, maybe this speed is too fast so i can reach 3GB very fast, after u reach their(celcom&maxis) usage limit they will throttle you to 0.128mbps, but i found that some days yes and some days no for maxis, streamyx said if u subscribe to 1mbps then you get at least 70% of the bandwidth then the line no problem which mean that is 0.7168mbps, so both of maxisbb and celcombb said either 3.6mbps or 7.2mbps, that’s the speed that modem can support not the download speed they provide, if you wan to test the speed go to http://www.speedtest.net to test with local server for local site or oversea server for international site, wireless bb speed will be affected by weather, signal strength, and the no. of users in your location, so different place different time will get different speed, my opinion is to test it yourself for both if u want to subcribe wireless bb, but beware celcom take 3~6months to refund advance payment.

    I am waiting for P1 WiMAX to come to my area. I hate maxis n celcom bb much coz their impression to me is only slow n limited fair usage n expensive. WiMAX’s wiggy usb modem’s usage fair(10 GB) per month is really gud n d speed is same as maxis n celcom bb. Y don’t i chose wimax as my isp?
