    Celcom Broadband VS Maxis Broadband

    I have totally forgotten to tel you guys that my internet connection was switch from Maxis to Celcom!

    Well, simply because Celcom is better then Maxis and cheaper also!

    Few other comparison I would like to show you guys base on my personal experience.


    1st - Maxis Broadband block port!

    In other words, they don't allow the usage of certain LAN simulation program such as, Hamachi & Gerina(formally known as GG Client).

    Yes, they frigging block them!

    Celcom Broadband has no such problem. :)


    2nd - Maxis Broadband customer service SUX!

    In regards to the above 'block port' issue, I went to the Maxis center at Sunway Pyramid.

    I brought up this issue to all their people there, and they know nuts about what I was talking about, such low product knowledge people placed in the main center, what a humiliation!

    Whats worst, during my complaining session, a Maxis dude came and ask me whats the problem,

    I told him about it, he said this in return "honestly, don't use Maxis, it sux! Streamyx still the best".


    Can you imagine that? Maxis staff don't even believe in their own product....

    To make things worst, a lady ask me to leave my number and she will bring this issue up to the "higher level", and I would be notify of the solution 2 days later,

    I waited for 1 week, no call from Maxis at all.

    Celcom on the other hand, the dealer at TMPoint Taipan was good. He lend me HIS personal modem and sim card to test it out for 1 day,

    If I were to face the problem that I was talking about, he said I don't have to apply.


    3rd - Maxis Broadband freaking block P2P programs and application!

    This means no BitTorrent, BitComet, Azureus, Ares and any related P2P stuff.

    But I was told that from 1am to 6am, Maxis will open up the line to all "pirates" to download whatever they wish.

    True, but blardy slow leh.... Better off not opening the line at all...

    Celcom does not block P2P programs and application!

    In fact, I'm using their RM 68 per month package, and its working just fine! Depends on your area,

    Mine only had the 3G coverage, which isn't that good, if your area has the HSPD(high speed) connection, even better!


    Thats just about my experience using both broadband, I know I've praised Maxis so high last time and now I'm doing the opposite.

    Well, I'm just speaking the truth. :D

    Thats all for this post, I hope that I would have my hard disk plugged in by the end of this week, then I would have my blogging pictures again!

    Till then, take care! ;)

    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!

    Celcom does restrict torrent download. if you check your seeders, you'll realise that you can only download from local seeders and not those from abroad. It's the same with Maxis. In fact, my friend who's using Maxis enjoys faster download compared to me using Celcom.

    im using celcom data services since 3 years ago.. at that time, 3g just been launched by celcom (celcom is the first operator to launches 3g in malaysia)..

    but sadly, i dont have much money to buy 3G devices.. so i just stick with my gprs devices.. i use my hp as a modem, connected to PC/laptop. at that time, new celcom broadband plan not launched yet.. im using unlimited data plan, together with my celcom postpaid line.

    what can i say is, celcom gprs connection is stable.. even it slow (of course, it gprs), but have no problem to surf internet..

    nowadays, celcom still better than maxis in many factors.. first, of course the coverages.. celcom 3g coverages now is about 60%, while maxis is about 40% (according to MCMC).

    in term of service quality, celcom still better (even not 100% ok, but much more better than maxis).. the average download speed is around 40KB/s (~320kbps) which is about 80% of full 3g speed depends on the server location.. for HSDPA, im not sure since im not testing it yet (although my devices support HSDPA)..

    maybe we need some experts or any 3rd parties to do the test, since they know more about it rather than me. for example, let see a comparison test result made by 3rd parties for both maxis and celcom..

    View test result here

    Celcom also the winner of the Frost & sullivan 2008 Mobile Data Service Provider of the Year.

    for details, visit TelecomsAwards.com

    To date (2nd quarter 2008) Celcom is the largest mobile broadband provider with largest number of subsribers in Malaysia. All this awards, test, and statistic shown us that Celcom broadband is better than Maxis broadband..

    of course.. there are still lot of improvement to be done for both maxis and celcom.. but our question here is which one is better. that’s all..
