I have already registered the Maxis Broadband RM78 plan (3 GB modem included) for couple of month now. As far as I can say, this plan is good for non-heavy user to just checking their email, browsing web etc. It’s also best solution for those who travelling a lot.

Those who often to watch videos on YouTube and other streaming sites, I advised you should avoid this plan. It’s impossible for you to use 3 GB in a month. Majority of Maxis Broadband users who opt for this limited data transfer plans usually end up exceeding their bandwidth caps.

Most Wireless Broadband in Malaysia has some limit on the amount of bandwidth you can enjoy a month before they start throttling your line. So, don’t get cheated to Maxis Broadband salesman! =D
