Maxis Scraps Broadband Contract Period
Looks like Maxis has finally wised up by removing the minimum contractual period of 18 months previously imposed on subscribers. Both Celcom and DiGi does not have any minimum contractual period but instead tries to attract people to stay by tying in with other products such as mini laptops and smart phones. I guess it really is a no brainer that this will be scrapped - who in their right mind would subscribe to something for 18 months?! All is not rosy though as it seems defaulters will still need to pay RM200.
My advise - skip Maxis broadband. There really is no reason to with it with this sort of ridiculous terms. Want 3G? There's Celcom. Wait till DiGi joins the 3G race to see some really interesting stuff.

cuz, Maxis gave me a free tryout for 3 months with no obligations whatsoever recently and let me tell you one thing…IT SUCKS BIG TIME!!!! better go for the streamyx whatchamacalit RM60 buckos package la. I for one would like to revert but the sohai in me went and sign up for a 2 years no change, no terminate clause..kekekekeke ( just a few months to go )…
Better to wait for Digi and weighs the pros and cons before deciding..

Although I’ve never tried any of the wireless broadband services (being in a high-rise), I’ve had friends that regret the same decision. Streamyx on-best-effort bandwidth is much better than all the hyped-3G wireless broadband.
