DISQUS

Just to share my Maxis-Nightmare-Experience..

I was enticed by Maxis's Wireless Broadband last year (2007) when they were having their Wireless Promotion in Sunway University College (There weren't any USB modem during that time, it was the big bulky old modem).. The only sentence that enticed me during that time was the 30 days trial and money back guarantee..

And so, like a naive little boy.. I took the risk and had a go with their wireless service and after 25 days or so, I was thinking.. "Hmm, this service sucks.. Especially when compared to TM's Wired Streamyx (Even though theirs sucks as well)".. Why you might ask? It's because I kept getting disconnection errors and what not.. There weren't any stable connection for more than 30-40 minutes..

Other than that, port forwarding wasn't allowed on their wireless service unlike TM's Wired Streamyx which has port forwarding.. Port forwarding is essential for certain types of people for different uses.. For example, a gamer wishing to have port forwarding for one of his favorite games but are not getting it and thus cannot play his favorite game. As a result, Maxis is losing these types of potential customers..

Well, anyways.. I was thinking of returning that stupid modem and get my money back but found out that it is inconvenient for me to get to a customer service center as the one nearest my home wasn't open till 2008 (It was 2007 then).. Eventually I gave up and I had to pay so much for such unstable wireless device..

Like Yowchuan said.. Don't ever think about signing up for Maxis Wireless Broadband if you want mobility.. Think of something else..! :)

Yes, I agree with Pin! I am changing my own mindset and I am gearing up towards the wonderful and yet inconsistent working life! Entrepreneurship is the way to go :)
