So I checked out all the Internet Service Providers that offer something hassle-free (as I don't think I'd stay more than 2 years in this house), less than RM100 and more than 3GB.
YES is a good option because my father subscribes one of the package from YES and the Internet is fast as well. The data quota was expensive, however.
As my Lumia920 is using Maxis, I hardly feel the Internet is slow. LTE Maxis is fast, it has reached 20mbps when I was in Cyberjaya and KLCC.
Too lazy to think, I took Maxis Wireless Internet RM99 package. Check out some of the packages from them below:
Do note that 15GB is only for 2AM (and I thought 1AM..) until 8AM only. I plan to use the Non-Peak hours for torrent, downloading heavy stuff when sleeping. I also turned on WIFI for my phones for any phones updates, software updates and WhatsApp multimedia contents.
- To get it:
Want it fast?
Go to the service centre. Take it home. But if I'm not mistaken, there's another fee that you need to pay.
Want it not-so-fast and you're not so shy?
Call them, or make them to call you (there's a form in the Maxis website. Write your name and phone number). They will explain the details and if you want to subscribe, they will read out the TnC and agree on the phone. Supposedly after you agree to subscribe, they will send to you 7-14 days after that. For my case, it took me another 3 calls to Maxis Support Centre to send me, which is 1 month late from the expected date.
Want it not-so-fast and you're too shy to talk?
Buy it online from the website. :)
- Things that you get:
For my package, I get a DECT phone (with free 200 mins to talk to any Malaysian number) and Modem. The modem needs a power supply and it also has a port for Ethernet cable, which I haven't tested. You will find the sim card somewhere pasted on the box. Just check it out. That's your phone number for the DECT Phone.
- Price:
Just check it out from the official Maxis website. I think in one or two year time, the price is still more and less. Just offers such as activation fee rebates or something like that will be their promotions.
- Contract:
I have been a 2-year Maxis postpaid user and I put my Wireless Internet under the same account with my postpaid number, so I don't have any contract. If you never set up any Maxis account, then you'll get 12-month contract upon registering. The cooling period is 2 weeks once you get the device.
- Speed:
Honestly, it is frustrating because the speed is way different than in my handphone. I need to reset the modem a lot during 7-11PM because I always get "No Internet Connection". I guess it's because the peak hours. However, it is super-fast during non-peak hours (12.30AM - 8AM).
- Recommendation:
I don't really recommend it to others because I don't want them to feel frustrated with Internet connection difficulties during peak hours, unless you have other Internet back up solutions like I do. Quite funny how my Maxis LTE in my phone is a lot faster, I use hotspot with the phone when Maxis Wireless Internet having troubles having internet connection. But both are still Maxis...
Hope this helps if you want to have more info about Maxis Wireless Internet. :)
UPDATE ON 31 OCTOBER 2015:
Starting this month, the Internet speed has improved significantly and rarely losing its connection. Thanks Maxis!
