However, a tech person like me does not stop here. I like to play around with settings especially those advanced settings…

Maxis WiFi Modem (E5832)
All of us want to have the fastest broadband connection. Same apply to me. After 1 week of testing Maxis Wireless Broadband based on its iPad data plan with Maxis WiFi Modem (E5832), I have the result finally. Data points were collected almost every hour to have the most accurate benchmark result. And the test locations are Sungai Petani and Kulim, Kedah. Most were done at my house which near to JPJ Sungai Petani. Okay, let’s find out how does Maxis Wireless Broadband perform…
Maxis Wireless Broadband Speed Test
Maxis has 3 broadband data plans exclusive for iPad. There are Entry (3.5GB) @ RM70, Super (6.0GB) @ RM90 and Premium (15.0GB) @ RM200 packages to choose from. And the good news, there are no activation fee and no commitment period needed. So how to sign up Maxis iPad Data Plan? It is very simple. You can sign up online here or visit any Maxis Centre near you to sign up. As for me, I visited Maxis Centre at Queensbay Mall, Penang as I need to get Maxis WiFi modem as well.
Finally, 4 Mbps Streamyx is available at my place. I requested to upgrade early this year but no luck. I was still using RM 88 Streamyx 1 Mbps package then. Then I saw TM Blockbuster Deal which is a very interesting package for those who are still using the old separated voice and broadband plan like me. This combo package is a lot cheaper than my existing one. And you can have free call to all TM fixed line nationwide. Furthermore, you can get WiFi modem and cordless phone for free too. Isn’t that great? (Note – minimum 12 months subscription period is required. Not an issue to me at all)
