Maxis Broadband is suck!

I have using Maxis Broadband more than half year but I feel Maxis was cheating me as a customer. They provide half year for your testing but still need to paid. First few month they provided fast speed wireless broadband to your demo period. After the demo period or half year you will get slow speed broadband. Now I always need to restart the equipment every time the broadband slow. (This is their solution) . Maxis just provided suck and poor broadband service. If you late to make payment, they have extra charge to you but they provided slow broadband to you, do you think they rebate the bill?

MAXIS SUCKS..!!! It's good if we all can boycott them..!!! It's true what you have said.. First few months they provide good speed.. But then, it's sucks..

Yesterday i went to Maxis KLCC and their staff with arrogance face say something like this.."Your house not covered with 3.5G.. That's why so slow.. What you can do, cut the connection and pay RM200..!!"

Damn..!! I live in KL some more said not covered??

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!

YES.. SAY NO TO MAXIS FOREVER!!

Hi there, I stopped using Maxis USB Broadband about a month ago as the monthly bill was too darn expensive for me - RM138/month! I applied for it last December so I'm stuck with paying RM138 a month while new users who sign up later get to pay less. Well, I don't think that's quite fair since I signed up earlier. But they say, promotion lah, this lah, that lah, they have excuses.

So, recently I went to the nearest Maxis centre to return the USB package and I had to pay RM200 to terminate my account. If I had used this Maxis broadband for more than 12 months, then I wouldn't need to pay. But I've only used it for eight months. :( Well, at least paying RM200 now would save me more money later. I certainly don't enjoy paying RM138 a month!

Besides that, P2P is slow too. It's much faster with Streamyx! :D

wanie-chan said...

i've experienced the same thing too.

the fastest connection that i've received is during morning time, that is 6am-11am.. the rest of the day is very frustrating and nerve-racking as the connection is very, very slow.

adam said...

yes,when i use mxs broadband,the connection will lost every 5 minits.I am playing online game,sure u know how my feeling when i got kill just because of maxis lagging.

Nicolas said...

In fact all the wireless broadband provider are the same, don't your think so?

For my experiences in wireless industrial, you will never constantly get 70% of your packages that you subscribe, the limitation is :

1) Wireless Devices (known as CPE, Customer Premise Equipment)
Lack of power to transmit signal back to the station

2) blockage
During sent and received data, wireless broadband speed is very much depend
on the location of you CPE, the more object being block, the slower the
speed that you will get

3) bandwidth Sharing
broadband speed is share among all the user per station or per area
the more user use the same station or at same area, the slower the speed
that you will get

in general, all the broadband provider are having the same issues which is technology is yet to mature, expensive of broadband equipment, expensive of internet bandwidth. by charge a small fees to end user like us, to be honest, they are making lost, but to end user, feel like cheating

No matter which provider (wired or wireless) your subscribe, all you need is luck...

mrs said...

yup, i obsolutely agree with all of you guys..MAXIS IS SXXX...

MaxisNarrowBand said...

I'm one of maxisbb customers. hmm.. so far I have used 5 months the connection :) is bad. Below 20% of offered service level agreement. I currently subcribed with 3.6 Mbps packages but what I got sometime is 3.6 Bytes/s wow this is our Malaysian proud Internet super corridor Malaysia Boleh access.

I lived in Shah Alam, but no HSDPA access. I was aware Shah Alam is not covered, wait Shah Alam? I though Cherok Tok Kun Kedah have no HSDPA access Shah Alam, Subang and KL also?. I hope maxis will upgrade their infrastructure by including urban area into their coverage, but so far nothing happen.

Ahh... tired already maybe I should terminate my account...

complaint to MMC multimedia commision of malaysia.this guys will freak out with them.i did once n it works.

Oh my god~~~..i almost wanted to sign up the maxis broadband man!!!..thanks a lot y'all man~~u all cool~~...xD....i agree yo~!!!...maxis is now suck than ever dude!

Murad said...

I agree with MaxisSucks!, we consumers should exercise our power, terminate maxisbb immediately after contract terms end. Don't ever again trapped in flashy and neat maxis adds on tv, astro, etc. Just because they sponsor EPL live game, shitty akademy ass pantasia and etc, doesn't make their services good and cool.
ng
(I'm soo angry with maxis, because I pay 3.6MB plan but what I got is 3.6 Bytes only. Where is the "Mega bytes" gone? shame on maxis,

MAXIS IS SUCK said...

rubbish maxis~~

INTERNET CONNECTION SO SLOW~~

Ivan said...

Thanks guys for your feedback. I had already planned to go to Maxis shop to subscribe its broadband. So tonight I thought I should just browse their website for more info.

I accidentally came to this website from google, and Oh boy! Am I relieved to realise that I shouldn't sign up after all the Maxis broadband users have shared their bad customer experience.

Now I will NOT sign up for Maxis broadband anymore until they ensure that their performance measure up. Perhaps everyone should band together to bring about a case action lawsuit against Maxis's unethical business practice.

a1ez said...

I am having a headache - slow broadband internet access from Celcom. Not only that, I am barred from accessing the internet via its system. I will terminate my account when the first bill comes for payment. Mobile broadband internet access is not suitable for me and heavy users because we all get penalized!

Loh said...

Its such a shitty service provider. They should not limit usage for some people that surf less. They claim that those people that keep using ( power user ) are the main cause of service degrade. I'm a comp science student that often need to download software which is more than few Gig over time. and 3Gig usage limit is just like u driving a Ferrari but only with the speed of Kancil. Paid RM98 and for 3Gig usage? the ratio is not worth for the money man! Recently received a call from them respond to my feedback which has been emailed to them, till now no solution had been made. Wait till everyone leave MAXIS A$$Band only they start to upgrade their service? Come on Guys! PROVIDE BETTER SERVICE LIKE TMNUT SCREAMYX!

Ken Wu said...

Yeah, Maxis sucks! The line is not consistent and mostly slow. Their advertisements are cheating people.

Jackie said...

Recently I read a blog related to Maxis Broadband also. Very interesting the way he described until the end.

alex said...

I think is time for us to BANNED maxis together, if not they won't stop cheating the public!!!
MAXIS SUCK !!!

I HATE maxis broadband said...

I agreed with you..maxis broadband is totally SUX!!
it's very very slow and always disconnected..
they just became more materialistic nowadays
before this 'super' savers is just 2 ringgit per hour
n now it become 3 ringgit per half an hour
it just the same if we call someone in our activ 10 without that super savers
I want to change to U mobile or celcom..cheaper..
I HATE MAXIS BROADBAND AND MAXIS

step to terminate your service

what i do for terminate broadband services

1.send email maxis customer service. then they call me... ask me about the problem (no coverage problem).
http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/general/personal/feedback_new.asp

2. then waiting for maxis customer service call (1 day )
3. follow maxis customer service instruction...
-call maxis broadband centre ask them to make sure no coverage in your area.
-tell them, maxis customer service suggest you call them to make sure no coverage in your area for termination your service
4. send back your same email same as before
5. the same guy/gurl (PIC for your problem) from maxis customer service call your later (1 day or less then hour)
- they remark at your account to waived RM200.
6.Go to maxis center, Return modem without any payment.

but they all make a charges for your next phone bill ( not to expensive la)

shaz said...

Sangat2 setuju...always disconnected and slow segila2nya. not only the broadband, my phone line also got problem...now thinking of switching to streamyx...but can anyone suggest me which on eis ok, streamyx..wired broadband, ect...TQ.

nina_s said...

perggghhh... I was just about to switch to maxis wireless broadband and i googled to this blog...

I am currently subscribing to celcom broadband. since the past 5 months, i also always experience the non-connection issue... the thing is it happens on and off and i've been emailing God-knows how many complaint email to celcom customer service. I demand for rebate but to no avail.

This month again the stupid connection problem occurs. Many complaint calls have been made and many troubleshooting have been tried. The problem still persists. And yeah i totally agree about the game, i've striked high scores but my score couldnt be uploaded, how nerve-wracking it was!!! but that's not so critical.. imagine spending half an hour (at least) looking and checking your connection status with the "X' mark shown, clicking "Diagnose" button God-knows how many times and in the end still fail to load the webpage that u want to surf? It is truly pressurising!!!

We have the choice of wireless and wired broadband... We chose to pay RM98/month for 3.6mpbs speed and for the sake of convenience (wireless). But we get less than 1mbps or even lesser than 512kbps (sometimes even no connection at all!!). They said, look at your service agreement, it's a share based connection. I am staying in the heart of JB and experience non-connection (without reported network failure by the Celcom), it din make sense at all!! Service provider should improve their network coverage then! We have the rights to demand for the value of service we've paid for, not the SHITTY one!!

Thanks for sharing, everyone.

hanafee said...

Im maxis user too... and for the first few months i had the same problems as you guys.. but then i learned that the usb modem or the zte modem is default setting to gprs, or that other lower connection... you have to disconnect and change the setting to only receive wcdma connection... next you need a dns server number with less users than the one maxis currently provide.... that is the one with the larget bandwith but because a lot of people use its become vry congested...

so you can find a free dns number on the net just browse around...

Ever since that my connection has been very good.... my torrents can download up to 4 movies a day and my friends DOTA also goes very well..

My usual speed connection for torrents is usually up to 60-80 kbps. Which isnt as fast as streamyx but better than having to pay 200 unsubscribing fee... Now ive been using it for more than a year and i enjoy it too...

By the way im not maxis supporter or anything.. i just think you have to learn to customize it on your own... i cant write a detailed explanation here but if anyone needs help you can email me hanafee_ar[at]yahoo.com

Hanafee said...

Nina.... Celcom broadband also needs a lot of default settings changed... youre connected to a DNS which is congested most of the time so i would try that first... Actually living in JB it would suit you better to use maxis broadband but you need to know how to default change the different dns server numbers... Singapores broadband coverage covers most part of metropolitan JB and their DNS can be accessed illegally with the ZTE modem.... However if you using to use great connection in this short perid of a year or so... i would suggest P1 Wimax. Jb users that have registered only around 800 people and the bandwith provided is for 1 million users so currently the P1 Wimax connection in JB is amazing. I am part of research group in UKM studying wireless technology, and we have been co-operating with maxis, celcom and even p1 wimax... However it is estimated that in a year or so, the service provider p1 will be as congested as maxis and celcom so this fast connection will get worst :)

However... i do suggest you try chaging dns servers first because if you unsubscribe you might have to pay some ridiculous fee for unscubscribing... for maxis its like 200 and im not sure for celcom... i wrote another reply to patrick about the broadband technology and how you can enhance its speed... we'll see if he posts it.... get tips there ya???

Richard said...

I agree that maxis is cheating their customers, with the number migration, I am thinking of migrating to celcom? any opinion of how is the celcom service?

Kulen said...

Ok guys...cool down..Let us boycott them and change to streamyx...

tulalan said...

I have just terminated my maxis broadband now. After 2 years of hope and pain, now I have peace of mind with streamyx.

Sally said...

Oh, My God ! I am moving to my new house (Bandar Puchong Jaya) on June 2009, the only connection coverage is Maxis only. After I had viewed all this comments, VERY SCARY LAH...... But NOW, is so short that forcing me to apply Maxis without any other choices. And I need the fixed line for my house too. Can anyone give me a thinker for this problem that I am facing now.

With many thanks.

madzie said...

robert said...

so far i have been using in kl, pj and kuantan (town area, by the beach and at the port) maxis broadband is no problem to me. i use it for more than 10 hours per day. don't understand why so many people complaint. maybe is the price too expensive at rm138?

Szarule said...

Maxis suxx..streamyx suxx..celcom suxxx..umobile suxx..Izzi stupid..(installment only to those card credit members).U need to pay rm1K to subscribe if u're not card holder.P1 wimax slow..slow in coverage progress..

brian said...

Yup, MAXIS BROADBAND is lousy! I have to suffer another 3 months in order to finish my contracted bond for 1 year.

t said...

maxis really su***...i've used the modem pakage for 8 months the service was very very bad but i though its just my lappy getting crazy and unfortunately decide to upgrade to the new broadband paying more (138 per mth) and i get even lousier services..damn. plus they charge me another 200 because i didnt fin my 12mths contact..haloooo..i'd upgrade to pay them MORE and they charge me. i make a phone complain then the next bill instead of cutting those 200 they add another 200 to my bill..so i have decided maxis can go to hell!!
hahahaaa

steve said...

Shazwan Kulim said...

Hallo all.. Damn Maxis BB..i beli ztf modem 684 kb/s... they told me that 684 is the best speed for surfing internet.. Suck Off !!! aku nak download punya la slow.. browsing pn ada setengah websites xleh masuk..pelaqqq..

Jo said...

Thanks guys for sharing your views on maxis broadband. Very enlightening indeed! We just signed up for a one-week trial...and I was wondering whether they can actually 'quicken' the speed only during the trial period, and later...well, you know. Anyway, I would just try to 'enjoy' this one week trial and take your 'advices'!

THank you!!

KG said...

Me too at JB,stay at 50kbps 3 weeks ,many times complaint just ask me do full set modem setting procedure n test it.email maxis feed back receive no respone. next week I will email SKMM

joey said...

am experiencing the same problem slow connection and kepts cutting out..customer service said its because i'm only allowed to use 3000 mb a month..and now am more than 5000. i dont get it..and u gys been told something else..so what is what?

mylo said...

I'm a 1 year++ user. I felt cheated!

6 Jahanam said...

I've been a Maxis Broadband subscriber for the past 12 months now. Would you like to know my average broadband speed? FYI I'm staying in Damansara Damai area.

90% of the time my average speed is 150 Kbps. No, no...no need to rub your eyes. You read it right, 150 Kbps average!

Anything above 500 Kbps is cause for celebration for me, and if does hit 1 Mbps (which I cant quite recall) I'd probably break into an odd dance or do the cha cha.

So, I never got my end of the bargain as a Maxis Power Package subscriber, and I do not identify at all with Maxis marketing call of 'speed up to 3.6 Mbps'.

So, Maxis Broadband sucks? Oh, they dont just suck...they're a disgrace.

Akalil said...

Hallo all. ive been maxis for 8 month and seems no prob with me...i live in Bukit beruntung and maxis have no mess with me...I always get max connection and always at constant speed about 3.2Mbps..

Waco said...

Thanks for this blog. There is a Maxis roadshow in my company yesterday but luckily I didn't apply for the broadband service, which is the Dell Mini 9 + RM89 x 24 months package. They promised 7Mbps speed and furthermore they said it is the last day.

They said wherever there is Maxis signal coverage, the broadband service is there. I noticed the bar in Dell netbook is just 3 bars, and I took out my handphone (with Maxis SIMS) and noticed the bar is full. Haha~

et3925 said...

haahahahahah.. you all suck.. maxis give only 3g uplod and download... after 3g your connetion maxis cut.. that you get 3.6 byet.... hahahahaha

sushi said...

Thank you so much for you guys expert opinion. I was considering to subscribe Maxis broadband, of course NO now. I was fed up with TM net before this. I think all the companies are the same.

Joolyone said...

I have to agree with everyone.
Initially I thought that it was my area which is the problem.
Now I know it's not.

Seriously, it's true that they'll give you super speed for the trial phase.
Then, it just gets more and more retarded.
I have to literally call them up every month to inquire about it.

How sad.

nicholas said...

Hi guys, by the way i'm from maxis... I read all of your "sucks"..but i wanna to ask, all of the people using maxis broadband but keep complaining about us. Then better go n use celcom and recieve the higher bill statement... If this is what you guys wanna to.

Patrick said...

As I know most of them are from the mentioned provider's IP. :) I think they like to move to other provider but the people subscribed the service bear with the terms and condition. :)

ejon said...

it's been 2 years im using maxis broadband with 3.6mbps package. but the true story is, its suck. 'am planning to change to p1wimax

sambalkicap said...

and don't forget fellas.. MAXIS salesman/sales women/promoter/agent or anyone of those sales people at roadshows or booths or whatever.. are all LIARS!!!..

when i first sign up they didnt even mention the fair usage policy.

then this so called "no contract" bullshit. if there is "no contract" then why must we pay RM200 if we close acc within 12 mnth?.. we can terminate BUT must pay?

WTF is that for?!

damn those liars!

ren said...

MAXIS is "PUBLIC ENEMY " SLOW LIKE A TURTLE,CHEAT MALAYSIAN PEOPLE

wireless_RETARDS said...

well guys, all of you didn't agree with the speed but did you how did internet really works? how the packet really transmitted ? what is adsl, sdsl, hsdpa, umts, edge, and gprs and also gsm? what in microsoft really telling about the internet and did u know that 20% of default internet is channel to Microsoft auto update and genuine windows detection ? well all the service provide is depended on Qos ? im also a user of maxis broadband and also a celcom user and also a tmnet user and also a lease-line user, im more happy with the maxis because cheap and good customer service rather than celcom. most user never study in internet before they subscribe the service.wisely choose the product study internet. Dun blame others because of your ignorance

Maxis EO said...

No one has been cheating.. All is black and white.. Don't u agree the terms & conditions before sign up?

lady gaga said...

Hallo Dear,

Iam sharing bcoz iam the victim also, yes maxis broadband was poor, i think every wireless or wired internet provider is also the the same one word lauzy,i terminated my streamyx broadband last month happen that i subcribe package that come with RM115 permonth guest what watch online video is suckks with this package speed, i belive the telekom cabling are tooo old causing while transmitting data a lot of bandwith loss by the time reach to user its only get 200mb per sec. belive it or not!!! dont get trapee by switching to other service provider, at the end compare to neighbouring country internet service provider we all know the answer,, good luck

tilia said...

No one has been cheating.. All is black and white.. Don’t u agree the terms & conditions before sign up?
wah.. speak for u self!! so why maxis bar my line before due date?.. written in the bill that u issue me..moron.. my due date is 17/5 bar at 6/5..maxis offer credit limit for rm500.00...count my bill moron!!! yes the true is maxis is cheating us by their term & conditions..

Patrick said...

Hi tilia, I asked them before about the "due date" that indicated in the statement. You will get the funny answer from them. Actually the maxis "due date" are different with billing. The due date is not for customer reference. It's just for themselves. ha...

sky said...

after 3gb usage limit..my maxis broadband become dial up...wat can i say?okay...let forget it...but i only get 300-400kbps even i havent reach the limit of usage..i nid to pay rm108 ever month,i goin to change to streamyx after this month.

vetean said...

Dear Mr. Nicholas (from Maxis),

So good to hear such an assuring answer from a representative of Maxis here, as written by you above it is an obvious facts that Maxis sux big time. We are here not because we enjoy telling lies (which by the facts is not) or even we enjoy making maxis looks bad.

Bare in mind that we are a consumer and we have our right to voice our dissatisfaction. Let me give you a brief on my situation;

i went back late each day somewhere around 9.00 pm to 10.00 pm and i'll surf the net usually playing some game and youtubing for around 1 to 2 hours daily and on weekends around 8 hours on the net or less...and i'll tell you what by the 18/20 each month i had reach my 3 GB caps......is this worth paying!!!!!RM138 each month? now tell us the user are we being cheated!!!!! i was never brief by your so called sales person on this caps when i signed in(lol i was supposed to read your contract that is more then a few pages to find this right)...please be informed that there is an intention to scam on this as there it stated clearly in your broucher that i'm getting an UNLIMITED PLAN not a Fxxxx 3GB plan.

Looking at your comments i know why i had made one of the most disappointing decision in my life, that is to sign with MAXIS. It is an obvious things now that we as a user is sure, maxis would not CHANGE as what is informed by your....we as the user challenge us to provide us with your work ID and i'll officially will make my complaint with maxis.

I would now at the end of this period, terminate my account with MAXIS.

Dear User,
We have our right and i believe if the goverment is keeping a blind eyes on such a things, we should take it at our own hand.

Regards,
User

kab said...

The broadband service is very bad. Sometimes it is HSDPA but sometimes it goes to UTMS or EDGE and then disconnected. It happened few times in an hour. This is not my first time experience. I've called your customer service this morning telling the bad problem but she hang-up the call. It is a very bad image to Maxis.

Maxis will loose their customers because of their broadband services. They must do something!

maxis broadband said...

soli...all friends...im work as maxis broadband,bt trust me...cuz...i DAMN FUCKER HATE the MAXIS BROADBAND oso!!!js cuz of my basic salary oli...real so slow...they owes saying upgrading!!!bt dunno wen then oli finish their UPGRADING...

kamekameha said...

kamekameha said...

vetean said...

"let us all make a petition and send it to FOMCA" can someone initiate this? i'llsure give my support on this.....

just to share yesterday me and my GF when to one of Maxis Retailer and what did we get a nasty and cold service from them.....of for god sake we are using 2 Maxis Broadband Account (yeah too bad it happen!!!!)

I'm waiting for p1 w1max to reach my place-which are taking forever. Then i don't freaking care anymore if i need to pay 200 for this bloody service.......

and guys for your info i saw that maxis had made an upgrade, they had changed their advertisment by showing the bandwith caps ( i'm very sure that their freaking legal advice tell them this).....

we have our right as a consumer and why are we keeping it low, lets tell the whole world about this unjustice.......3.6 Mbs my head they can even give 70% as required all there is to this a bloody money greed people

kien wong said...

all the internet provider in our country are all suck, i tried time .com / streamyx / celcom vodafone / maxis....all are con man company....they advitise will get fast speed......with 3.5G with 3Mbps service...but all are cheating. they cheat all malaysian to sign the package and charge you a fees when you want to terminate the contract????? how we get protected with this kind of day light robbers.

googoo said...

i don't think any of the company can provide 3Mbps in Malaysia when they advertise 3Mbps plan.....it just cheat us to sign up and get stuck with....cancel the plan?????....ha ha ha....fine you the penalthy of 200 ringgit...can u imagine how much money they can make by this cheating act....like celcom,i need to pay 299 for the modem.....signup for 24 months and charge me 99 per months and then if i cancel the plan then they will fine me......
now i am using two broadband at the same time,the streamyx and celcom. non of this are good. this is malaysia boleh lah.....i am sure they are many many people already suffer from this issue and how come the consumer affair department still allow them to do this kind of false acvertisement to cheat all the malaysian people.

vetean said...

i'm currently looking for a way to submit/lodge a petition with FOMCA/MCMC..just an update...

when we called maxis service centre to ask about our low speed.......guess what we are told!!!!

Quote:

If you don't like MAXIS service, then just change to over service provider.....i can vow that not only their service suck big time......the customer service are even worse.....

We as the user have our right to voice what we feel, not that we like to complaint but we just want to have our hard earn money to be worth it...and the way i see maxis service...they just suck....

p/s please don't even thinking about taking their service.......

I hate Maxis said...

Ya i do, i think steamyx is suck, but after using maxis now i feel that is like heaven(streamyx) and hell(maxis).

Maxis only will give you fast speed in 1st two week when we register after that it will be very slow , even i want to play dota in genera also cant.

at least if i using streamyx i can play it.

When i go complaint there tell me because i already finish the download for 3G, bullshit.

Ok if i finish the download as p2p for 3g, then why play online game also cannot???
If like that better i use back streamyx, at least no limitation for download, and the price also lower than MaXis.....

Can we do any think to let them change their service???

Well Bro & sis:

Yo! This maxis really f-king sucks!!!!! I m really piss off with their services. monthly not exceed 3 gig. This is nuts! We all feel cheated by this maxis tycoon/ long term blood sucker.

Guys! don't consider maxis services, I have been using it for 3 years, I pissed off for 3 years.

Really a TIPU company. I hope someone really give them a big punch. You know....Even their own staff did not believe their own company's product and services.

I know you all agree my points. I am still looking for good internet connection service. But honestly! It seams all of these internet blood sucks are almost the same type.

Talk is really nice but doing is another way.

Cakap pandai sahaja tapi bila buat lagi satu jenis!!

THE WORST broadband in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya is Maxis Broadband! I subscribe for the advanced package at 640kbps as advised by their outlet [It's the maximum they can offer]. I’m lucky to get 50kbps anytime I log on! The only consistent thing about Maxis Broadband is their billing and disconnection! I’m one of the lucky few who have NO CHOICE but to subscribe to Maxis because they have a monopoly in the area. No Telekom.. Only Maxis. The pathetic reasoning for their pathetic service is “too many users”, yet they are aggressively promoting and subscribing new users. Their customer service told me to check my internet speed in order for them to address my slow connection and you can only use THEIR speed check. It takes about 6hrs with my speed to download the speed check program. Advising them that it takes 6hrs didn't help. An Ox could have figured that one out, but NO, Maxis needs a speed check. Tsk..tsk..tsk... sheer brilliance on the part of Maxis, I must say! But hey, I don’t blame them it’s a business right? And who are we customers to complain if we get our rear end rammed? The bigger you are, the harder we get it!

MALAYSIA BOLEH! apa….?

Angry Man said...

belwix said...

omg.... i almost going to register maxis...
in m'sia best service is tmnet sytreamyx, how also here dont have port, i cant apply for tmpoint. its really lowest price and high speed, enjoy to play online games. i know this coz i was working in cyber cafe.
but now i cant apply for tmpoint for my home coz there is no port.
now was really looking for broadband coz no other choice.
all said the best is celcom 3G.
if celcom fight maxis = celcom won.
if digi fight celcom i dont know which 1 is great.
but i know from my cust is digi is high speed can play online games well but the price is sure you can die if u see these.

how also no coverage in my place so i apply for celcpm lor.

dear macha, please dont apply for the maxis fucking service.
once i tell you da dey better choose
DIGI or CELCOM better.

deen said...

we see how the celcom service can help us yeee....:)

frustrated customer said...

MAXIS SUCK.. that's all I can say.

As a customer, I'm absolutely very frustrated with the service rendered.. I feel like been cheated by stupid MAXIS. The internet connection was very slow, almost like old days, dial up internet. Furthermore, it's hard to connect and always get disconnected. Your PC will become slow too. The maxis centre also not so helpful, always giving the same solution, just like the answer already been scripted. Huh.. ;(

Those who are about to register MAXIS stupid Broadband, please withdraw your intention immediately. The service is not worth of your money and time as well.

I have no choice but to stop making monthly payment, to show my disappointment of the service.

Newuser said...

I was considering to subscribe to Maxis BB but after going thru all the comments above, I guess i might as well forget about it.

Thought of giving P1's Wiggy a shot. What do you guys say?

nicholas said...

The home package that u mention is for volume 2GB with speed is "upto" 640kbps/sec. Dont u know it? plz do not say anything till u really ask the centre be4 u say anything.. the plam we give u a modem, 2 months acess fee waived, every month only rm48, what more do u wan? RM48 only!!

JuN said...

agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i only get 3 to 10 kb/s......

mryosh said...

claymore said...

i been using maxis broadband for 2years... when i stay in shah alam the connection just UMTS and i move to mutiara damandara i got the best connection HSDPA but not always. i still stuck with 2GB fair data using per month..... now other comp can give 5 to 10 fair data used per month and pay low as 49.......

wayne chong said...

please wait for few more months! Maxis is already invest RM1.6 billion to do network upgrade! We will enjoy more high speed internet because Maxis will adding more base station in particular area! It will avoid conjestion in your area!

Ardy Shazril said...

please contact me, im just using this service for 3weeks. rm78@2gb@no device. anyone who read this, please send me email with our answer or disscusion. Send at ardyshazril[at]yahoo[dot]com

see? test at speedtest.net. the result its only 0.6MB. why? sebab aku dah download lebih 2gb ke? pantat la maxis babi sial gampang ni. geramnye aku. maxis pantat! maxis babi! haram lah hendaknya gaji kesemua pekerja2 yg terlibat dengan maxis. maxis PANTATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rooney said...

please do not subscribe to maxis anymore.. i am one of the victims here... they promised me high speed and rebates during a roadshow in one of the malls here.. i fell for it..
speed is worse that dial-up, can't download shit, waste of money. that is the way they become rich, by cheating money from us... way to go mr ananda krishnan..

Ardy said...

hello,

1st of all, you need to understand what pacakage maxis provide. me is 2gb download data. as you use it for downloading mp3, watch youtube video (streaming online) play online games, it can be heavy. i love that dynamic IP of maxis. this month my download is really slow. i reached the limit. download rate is so slow. but when surf internet is still ok. wait for next month. my traffic is back to normal (2GB) and everything is superb fast web browsing.

Their customer service sucks too !!! i called many many times to complaint but nothing happen after that.

Also, I wonder how many abandon calls in a day - I called and waited more than 10 mins to get "entertained"

Sucks lah MAXIS, gulung tikar lah

vetean said...

LOL.....

maxis people even dare to come here and tell us that hey.....tell them the problem and it will be attended to!!!!!!!!!!!

thats a shock as when i complaint in regards to my problem with them......"the customer service officer even dare to say that if you don't like their service "Maxis" just change to other service provider"

please just don't waste people time here.....

With so much regret and joy i will be terminating my service with SUCKING MAXIS....

"and i love this word now -potong jangan tak potong"

Patrick Chia said...

Nicholas, just FYI, do you know why local government control the licensed of communication? If government released the licensed for market. Do you think the related company can be competitor? I think consumer are welcome the government to open market. And as I know Lehman Bro is more than 100 years company and bigger than your mentioned company, but they also facing bankruptcy today. have a wonderful-day. :)

Thank you..

hazman aziz said...

Misleading advertisement promises customers with a moon and stars. Not suprrise a giant australian company considering to terminate their investment in Msia. Bravoooo MAXIS

Leonardo said...

I'm glad I found this website. I was thinking of buying a 3g modem and signing up for broadband, but after reading all the complaints, I think I'll stick with my so-so streamyx and wait till their coverage improves. Thanks all for your sincere opinions.

mad said...

i agree 100 percent,the service is bad.if we want to make a petition i think better send to telicom and communication menister and taroh cukup cukup what they think our money come from tree.

Fedup Maxis said...

i am maxis broadband user... but i fed up to use it..
it only fast 6am to 6pm after that the connection is too slow

auramaya said...

SAY NO TO MAXIS BROADBAND!!!!!

Adza said...

I agreed, Maxis services is bloody f***ing idiot company, The services is ver bad, Cheated cunsumer money, that is why they making profit and very nice counter services they can bulit up, every month doing renovation,

Why is said that:
1. No body realy carefully check the bill, they charged you up and down on the service you are not subscribe plus services tax.
2, Broadband stupid, its never achieved 3.6mb, idiot..
3. Allways stuck and line cut off every 5 minute, if you subscribe the lower package,
4. The postpaid line is teribble, the bill is charge like hell.
5. Stupid idiot new staff at frontline answering the call,they not even know their product, making thing very difficult...full of policy...management decision..
5. stupid counter system at TTDI and Sunway Pyramid, stupid no ticket...can go straight to counter..but the the long que...like bustard..
6. The package and promotion for line with discounted handphone..is realy suck..if you count the contract 24 month...in total you RM 3500 plus for handphone,,,,(for value RM150 and plus handphone)..maxis cheat people.
7. Nobody bother to take action....
8. and yet MAXIS is the great listed share offered in ASIAN...nandre..ANANDA KRisnan...well done good job,,

This my personel opinion..I might be wrong,,but i am maxis customer for 12 years...I will definately cut off all my services with maxis.

Maxis is the slowest said...

I have been using maxshit for 10 months now and I am far from happy. All I can say is Maxis cheats you. They give you slow connection while they are able to give it. I paid for 3.6mbps package and my speedtest is 0.05mbps FOR THE WHOLE MONTH. I paid 98 every month and I get this super slow connection. Please fellas, spread the word. Don't let your friends and family use Maxis. Let them bankrupt. People are not stupid nowadays. Maxis sucks a lot.

Mat said...

Last night I was upset because my quota limit was up eventhough I purchased unlimited 1.5GB package. I was told by Maxis officer that effective 4.1.10 Maxis has changed the plan to limited usage. Initially I was disappointed when the officer told me that if I cancelled the plan I will be charged RM200.00 eventhough I have just started using it about half a month and the plan was changed without my consent. I then emailed my disatisfaction to Maxis and just now I received a call from the Customer Relationship Unit and she confirmed that I can return the modem without being charged the RM200.00. The prompt and polite response make me feel good and Maxis officers should continue practicing it. If I may named the officers they are Mr Royston, Mr Kent, Mr Ng and Miss Jan.

backtrack said...

Agree, maxis is the worst boradband in Malaysia!

Villagers said...

I'm also tried mxs bb for 1 month and I used it in felda area and also at my kampung. The speed is very low starting 9pm - 12pm. I even have problem especially to open my facebook, YM and also for downloading.

I'm also facing DL : 0.00 kbps | UL : 0.00 kbps most of the time and somtimes not more than 15 kpbs. I never feel 1.5GB speed for RM48.00. I'm very frustated whis this bb and after this I want to use Streamyx.

amir said...

My iNTERNET SPEED NOW IS 20Mbps! so waht???

MAXIS BROADBAND is the worst broadband ever!!!!!
VERY SLOW..

David K said...

Dear All,

I just came bck from Maxis center and find out that i am blacklisted for one of my account. ( without notice)

Worst - they want to charge me with legal fee. (Agaian without Notice or warning)

I have the maxis line and a individual broadband - first
then after one month i change my mobile broadband to bolt on my line.
then everymonth i do pay extra for my phone....... (everymonth )

Then after my contract end . i want to get a new account for my broadband then they tell me my account is blacklisted for outstanding payment...

This is totally unacceptable.. why they didnt give any writting notice....

Really disappointed with Maxis... This is totally not fair to all the loyal customer... This is one of the reason if they do not change their way of working and loss all their loyal customer.. If they do not give a good explaination and action. my whole family and friend will change to other services rather than using this maxis that do not know how to keep their loyal customer.

maxis stupid said...

very dissapointed it din improve its service although had been complaint so long time ago

maxis=brainless said...

3gb...tell me hw u gonna survive with dat poorly scarce quota.....i wnt ever use maxis effing broadband if my home gt TM homeline....... MAXIS BROADBAND IS TOTALLY SUXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MR TM FASTER COME PASANG WIRE KAT RUMAH KU!!!! I M TIRED OF MAXIS AD!!!!!

jlbahanba said...

Nice to meet u all ! i choose maxis cause my friend use digi holy shit cutting every 5 min.

i went to maxis store. I asked the guy for the broadband he said:

"sorry we can't anything for u, go to the library"

wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!!!!!!!

i asked a computer shop next maxis store he told me the seller refused to sell me the braodband cause i m a foreigner.

2 weeks after, i calmed down, went back to maxis. A nother seller accepted to sell me the fucking service; as i'm not malaisian he told me:
"you have to pay 300 f rm deposit" ok mtf take the cash.

once at home, i discovered the usb 3g key is very slow. More silly is that they use a proxy that forbid me the acces to information websites, even yahoo sometimes! it's like middel age mixed with george orwell 1984.

so now i m gonna write to the kantor pusat and ask them to give me my money back.

Ethernet is better in malaysia ? Somebody knows ?


thx to all

SUNDARAM said...

maxis broadband is improving. one thing everyone should know that internet has the best time and worst time and it can be never good always. Look at kl traffic and you know that it is not always good same thing goes with internet. online games are heavy because your data usage exceeds the limit 3G or 7G. when your data usagae reaches the limit very fast when you play onlline games. then you have to top up or go for higher limit broadband. internet depend on weather condtions and usage of similar website by others. if toomany people use the same website or online games there is traffic congestion. the it is slowed done. log in to your account and check your data usage. you can top up then and there if you have reached the limit. thank you
