Experience in Maxis Broadband Postpaid in Sabah

Robert's Google+



Applying Maxis Wireless Broadband RM68 in my life 


Maxis broadband package



Have been using Maxis wireless broadband RM68 for more than 3 months. I really enjoy high-speed Internet. At first, my thought will be trying a new broadband service provider which is "Maxis". I am a fan of yellow colored broadband service provider to be honest. It is not a secret that Sabah or Kota Kinabalu to be specific not a highly populated area but at least please fix the stability.

The speed is fine at a specific time in a day. I mean there is a constant problem that make me think Maxis is having maintenance something like 8PM to 11PM. It was a recorded evidence. It was like Maxis connection could not afford to accommodate on high peak night time. After 11PM, the speed restored it normal again. However, I would like to use it on 8PM to 11PM not using it after 11PM.

I am impressed with the Maxis speed never its stability on night time. I am convinced that Maxis allowed more bandwidth during Saturday and Sunday. It helps me realized we should test speed and stability of Maxis only on Saturday and Sunday.

 I hate complaining without stating it advantages or benefit. I am an owner and user of Maxis. We should have responsibility more on explaining how useful this product rather than keep the bad side out so that everybody know the bad side of the product and WHO complains it.

Maxis have been very careful in its marketing strategy boasting they are offering and providing the fastest Internet/broadband connection. I think they mean west Malaysia. They know we want fast and divert our attention which is still the most essence criteria "Stability".




I must confess that no one could compete Streamyx or Digi in the field of stability in Internet connection. You can always try Maxis which you could download heavy-size file within minutes.



Cheapest IPhone 6 Plans in Malaysia

Robert's Google+


Maxis, Digi and Celcom are official seller of IPhone 6 with predetermined plans in Malaysia






Let the battle begins the price is one of the determinant factor in consumer decision-making. Besides, the one receiving lot of applause and positive comment usually draw all the consumers to their side. As the consumer who will become IPhone 6 holder are mostly in middle-income group and they are looking for good service and big smile.


It seem like Digi is unveiling IPhone 6 and the curtain will be pulled up on November 5, 2014. The time is 11PM and everyone could get a piece of it after the launching which is 1 hour later. They could buy as much as possible depends on Digi whether or not close it shop because it way too late for normal business hour. They starts IPhone 6 and IPhone 6 plus selling on 12AM which is a midnight. As for those who wanted to witness the launching, there is a LIVE event for everyone who use Digi  (Digi is not Apple ok !)


Is there a free gift watching entire Digi launching of IPhone 6 ? or there will be a free gift if attending the launching ??


LIVE streaming Digi's midnight IPhone 6 launching on Youtube Digi LIVE streaming









I guess there were warranty if you purchase with Maxis, Digi or Celcom. However, Let say one opt for non-tied plan IPhone 6 will you consider ?? IPhone 6 without tied plans

HTC One M8 is the new flagship smartphone for HTC. It has very good specification to compete with ever changing smartphone market globally. The announcement of HTC One M8 amazed HTC fans.

HTC One M8 is set to compete with newly released Samsung galaxy S5 that had been announced previously on April 2014. That is just an opinion. To actually compare both smartphones it is mostly self-explanatory. You will have to come out and guess for yourself which one is good and which one is good to buy

Mobile service provider in Malaysia such as Maxis, Digi and Umobile have taken initiative to provide Malaysian the platform to purchase HTC One M8 with contract. The chart below is taken by 3 mobile service operator website. Take a closer look !!

Prior to that, are you finding contract free HTC One M8? Some buyers are seeking HTC One M8 without contract due to many reasons. Last time I checked it is not over RM2200. Please visit at HTC One M8 16GB

Simple research have concluded that Digi and Maxis charts showed that it did not have a big changes in both Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8. If you have been watching Samsung Galaxy S5 contract chart previously on April 2014, you would have noticed that they took it down and replaced it with HTC One M8

The only thing has changed will be Celcom no longer offering HTC One M8. Umobile is taken the lead to offering HTC One M8 with contract. I guess there are limited space in offering new smartphones to Malaysian and that would be just 3 Malaysian mobile service providers. If Celcom to take the offering of HTC One M8, there would be no Umobile involvement !

You could see that in the chart, U PLUS would be offering lowest phone price RM999 with 24 months contract. How about total cost of owning them in the period of 1 and 2 years?
