New Broadband

Today i registered a new broadband package from maxis.

Looks attractive, wireless modem where i can connect everywhere if there is coverage and it only cost me RM68 per month for a 384KB/sec speed.

So this afternoon, those agents came to my house and delivered the modem.

Happy happy happy!

It comes together with a phone which i can use to call anywhere i like. Just tried, it is working!

Instead of taking the small usb modem, i decided to take the big one coz the small usb modem will need me to pay RM138 every month which i think is too expensive.

Just now i tested the speed and found out that instead of 384KB/sec...i only get 31KB/sec max for the moment and it was not stable, kept disconnected. I hope this is just due to the bad rain. Quite disappointing for the first day use coz it is even slower than a dial up modem. I hope for the next few days, it will get better.

Today i did called up celcom asking about their broadband package. Their advertisement shows that there is a small usb modem, but actually the customer service told me that they actually don't provide any modem, we must use a 3G phone to get connected. A bit confusing on what they explained coz if they actually don't provide modem, why they show it in the advertisement?

Searched some forums and there are pros and cons from every service provider...everyone is still searching for the best provider. I hope i didn't make a mistake.
