"MAXIS Broadband!! It's affordable for everyone.

Now at only RM58,you can surf the Internet whenever

you like,sign up now for MAXIS Broadband today."

-Wow!! So cheap!!

-Wait,I haven't tell the story...

08-08-2009,Mahkota was having PC fair. It was so

crowded although H1N1 is still flying around Melaka.

Besides that,there were lots of other promotion from

Celcom,Streamyx and Maxis.

Since I don't have any Internet line at home,the MC's

speech caught my attention. From as low as RM58,

I can get to activate a line for the Internet.OK then.

So after work,I walked into the Maxis centre nearby

my working place. I told a promoter that I wanted to get

a broadband and he explained -bla bla bla- to me.

So,the actual price was RM78. You'll get RM10 rebate if

you're using Maxis postpaid and another RM10 rebate for

using a credit card. Which means you only pay a RM58.

BUT... I'm not using their postpaid,so no rebate.

BUT... I'm using a Debit card,so I got a RM10 rebate.

Plus the speed is 7.2Mbps.

Alright,I'm taking it.

-Cool!!

-No,not cool at all!!

They told me that the data download is 1.5G.

Which means the limit for me to download is just

1.5G,ok nevemind. Infact,I seldom download from

the Internet. I tried a week,everything was just fine.

However,

Yesterday I went home,and plug in my device to my

PC. The speed of 7.2Mbps as promised,gone...

Yet it only working at 56.75kbps... How slow...

So,

I brought it back to the Maxis centre,asking for

explanation. They explained to me that each time

we surf a web or download or even watching YouTube,

it is considered as a download process. And if we surf

Internet too often,the data will added and might more

than 1.5G. OMG! No wonder they cut down my speed.

But is it my fault?

-No...

-Yeah...no...

They should have told me that before I subscribed it.

Now I got to pay RM68 every month for a line that I

can't use in OFTEN.

Or else...

I have to pay RM200 upon discontinuation of this

LOUSY broadband service. WTF.

Hmm... Which one to choose?

Damn... I've Been Fooled-by-Maxis
