Maxis Broadband Overview



Have been using this baby for three weeks now in Perlis.

Comment: Awesome!!

Ok lah maybe it is not capable to do the 'illegal' stuffs (you know what I mean), however, so far, watching youtube, playing FB games, signing in MSN etc have not been a problem for me.

I compare the service with Celcom Broadband which owned by Adik.

As you might or might not know, UniMAP is the 'famous' ahem public university which has distributed campus all over Perlis. So far, I've been trying the broadband service in places where I hang out the most: hostel, labs, and classes.

Adik says her BB has different signals in different places, there's even difference when she uses it in different rooms in one hostel! And the signal ain't strong too in Dragon's lab. Unlike Celcom BB, Maxis BB has a constant speed no matter where I am. With Maxis, I get the same speed where I go, in Perlis particularly.

I was told that Celcom and Maxis use the same line for both handphone users and broadband, therefore it will influence the rate of internet speed according to the service user in the particular place. So this eventually explained why it was super slow when I tried it in PJ SS2, and high speed in Perlis.

OK I admit I don't understand the networking terms like HSDPA thing etc, and don't ask me about the monthly payment because dad said it's free for 4 months O.o And I don't even know why the data volume increases rapidly within one week while what have I do is playing FB games and viewing some websites... =.=

One more thing about using Maxis Broadband instead of University's LAN:

No More 'Access Denied'!!!

LoL.

Danok One Day 'Decent' Trip

Image
Since there is a request on writing this post (and I'm freaking damn honored!), so here it goes... On Friday, Wesak Day, we (me, CK, Voon and BeeYing) went to Danok for a day trip. It was initially a plan to have the cheap steamboat after I had one on January, but, you know, delays and delays happen. Until one day, we had enough and decided this is it!! Since CK has been there few times at night, I have been there once at night, the other two never been there, and they can NONE about description or recommendation of day trip in Danok online, we decided we gonna give it a try (a day-trip try). Departed from Kangar after breakfast around 9.30AM, reaching Bukit Kayu Hitam about an hour later and traffic jam!!! It took us around one hour (!!) for a journey of 200 m to reach and cross the Malaysian border checkpoint. SO many people were going 'overseas' on the 3-days long weekend plus school holiday. Parked the car at the Duty Free mall and walked for about 200 m to cr

Most text quoted from the awareness notice in UniMAP's portal. To all my fellow UniMAP coursemates, housemates, friends, lecturers etc etc etc... Beware of this insect nah... Zoom in How small this bugger is comparing to a size 8 slipper This bugger here has quite a cun name: Nama Am: Kumbang Rove Nama Saintifik : Class : Insecta Order : Coleoptera Family : Staphylinidae Species : Paederus fuscipes Curtis Nama Tempatan: Semut Semai, Semut Kayap, Charlie etc. In places where paddy fields are everywhere (for example:Perlis), those paddy insects are one of the things fear us the most and we are most familiar with. During some specific periods, we will face insect and bug problem which make our life quite miserable and itchy limbs and body is common. Luckily I don't have sensitive skin, but some of my friends suffer endless itch and some even has swollen 'wound' due to the insects. This time, another type of insect attacks again. This deary

黄山，安徽省黄山市 WARNING: Damn long post! Initially, I was thinking about writing the whole events of my East China trips, not as detailed but just as slightly explained as I could, but I don't think I can. Hehe. So, I'll just write about my most satisfied trip, and leave the rest for the pictures I've uploaded in Facebook to tell the tale. This would be one of my best trips ever in my whole life. The fact is that, my confession to most of friends and family who don't know yet , it is my first solo backpack trip! v(^.^)v It has been a long and 'secret' planning, that I have said a lot of white lies to make it come true. I'm sorry to those I've lied, I have a sin. A big one =( Solo backpack in a foreign country is hassle free if you make detailed yet adjustable planning, where you can either follow what you have planned or making some adjustment according to the situation later in your trip accordingly. A planning is crucial especially if you are the kind of by-
