LTE Is Here: Maxis Officially Announced LTE In Selected Parts of Klang Valley
7952 Views
What a bombshell – just mere minutes after we ushered into 2013, Maxis has announced that their 4G LTE network is now officially available in selected parts of of Klang Valley including Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Damansara Utama, Desa Sri Hartamas, Bandar Puchong Jaya, Bandar Sunway and Cyberjaya. With this, Maxis is technically the first telco to officially launch LTE service to consumers in Malaysia after conducting field trials for the past two years.
Furthermore, several nearby areas such as SS2, Taman Paramount, Section 17 and 19 in Petaling Jaya, Plaza Damansara, Bandar Kinrara and Taman Wawasan in Puchong are also able to enjoy partial coverage. Maxis claimed that customers will be able to enjoy Internet speeds of up to 75Mbps with typical average speeds of 10 to 30Mbps on the Maxis 4G LTE network.
So far, Maxis has yet to reveal if any existing LTE-ready mobile devices in the market such as Asus PadFone 2, Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 which supports Malaysia’s 2600MHz LTE spectrum band (sorry, iPhone 5 owners) will be allowed to utilize Maxis LTE network soon but the company has begun to offer new LTE modem under its wireless broadband plan immediately.
Additionally, customers can now check out what the new 4G LTE network is all about over at Maxis Centres in KLCC and Taman Tun Dr Ismail. Further information on Maxis new LTE service can be obtained over at www.maxis.com.my/4GLTE.

service providers should stop advertising false promises on the internet speed. “up to” so and so Mbps is most of the times less than 10% of the advertised speed, while some ppl struggling to find a spot in their houses where they can even open google’s search page. 3g broadband is suppose to be “up to” 42MBps. anyone ever get even 4.2Mbps? I was Maxis One Club member for over 5 years, with 2 lines and a broadband. only once i get more 1Mbps on their services. and Maxis was the best ive ever tested out of all service providers in KL. “was”.
why cant they just advertise the actual average speed?
the LTE no doubt will be faster than what we have now. and i doubt that after 3 months, you can get more than 20%. and thats even if you can get a stable connection. the end user’s service agreement should protect the users more as currently it is meant for protecting the service provider’s businesses.
bro, blame nobody, blame your usb modem pls.
your usb modem is up to 7.2mbps. thus u maximum can get 3++ mbps.
u need a modem that can go 21mbps or 42 mbps.
about rm200 each.
To all;
1 Mbps = 128 kilobytes / second
1 Mbps = 0.125 megabytes / second
7.2 Mbps = 0.9 MB/s
42 Mbps = 5.25 MB/s
There was a time when I got download speed of 2.5MBPS = 20Mbps
and this is by Maxis.
please, make some research, and check your hardware and coverage before raging here and there.
It Launched macam tak launch……
2600MHz LTE……those hottest smartphone is NOT SUPPORT tis bandwidth!……
only few smartphone supported & those supported smartphone is NOT Popular at all!….
Nokia Lumia= FAINT!
Well then its about time you realize that popular doesn’t = better. It’s not Maxis’ fault that Malaysians want to pay more for over-priced, under-featured garbage like the iPhone 5.
Someone’s severely butthurt.
iphone hater is like proton supporter.
lol.
u hate it because its expensive, u love it because its cheap.
pity.
Jezzz Loki! YOu like it because it is expensive? What a sheepppppp!
Why you faint with Nokia Lumia? It is a great phone. Call your Apple and Samsung to come out phone to support it la.
i simply just wanna ask you 1 question, have you try window phone before you made above statement? i’m using 3 different mobile operating system, window phone is not bad at all.
copy cat is always not bad, unless they are blind and cannot copy properly.
oh not maxis please.. couldn’t imagine the constant bill shock of maximum rm250 everytime the quota is reached. maxSiCKs.
maxis reminds me of apple a lot.
apple = overpriced, exclusive, popular, classy, offers much less at a high price
maxis = overpriced, exclusive, popular, classy, offers much less at a high price
apple = highest revenue from iProducts
maxis = highest revenue among other local telco
even axiata that owns multiple carriers over multiple countries only triumph maxis by a very little margin. this last statement might be wrong coz i forgot the souce ady, so correct me if so.
Check ur facts first before commenting shit.for those on 1gb above plan, u may continue to surf without additional charges at lower speed.
Hold on.. Are you telling me that Maxis, a prominent telco in Malaysia that sells iPhone 5, just launched a LTE service that DOES NOT work with arguably one of the most important devices to drive 4G LTE?
… What the flim-flam?
Because iPhone 5 technically doesn’t support 2600MHz band which is Malaysia’s LTE spectrum band. So, in theory, it is not only Maxis that are facing this…it applies to all telcos in Malaysia as well.
Quit complaining. Get truly global phone like Nokia if you insist. Apple only cater for American consumers. Support them, just stick to 3g will ya?
… Doesn’t this mean that all iPhone 5 owners in Malaysia who bought it for the promise of LTE are screwed? How come all the telcos did not take the LTE spectrum into consideration when they ordered the iPhone 5? Was the spectrum not known to them?
I personally didn’t know anyone that bought iPhone 5 (or any phone/tablet, in fact) with the intention of using it on LTE but here’s the thing: when iPhone 5 was launched, the telco has yet to announced their actual LTE plans. So, if you purchased your iPhone 5 in anticipation for a yet-to-be confirmed infrastructure, I’m sorry that I’ve to point out how risky that move was.
On another hand, the LTE spectrum is ultimately decided by government and they actually have made it known to everyone a while ago.
LOL… Ask an iPhone user if they bought it for LTE, the likely response would be “Duhh.. LTE? What’s that?”
not necessarily it won’t work. 2600 is the main band but if i’m not mistaken there’s a secondary band that will be used as well which should be the same as Singapore’s band. 1800 was it? need to wait for confirmation though. if yes then ip5 can use lte. muahaha
Copy and paste
LTE Frequency band:
================
For Malaysia, LTE band will be running at:
a) 2600MHz (main band, confirmed)
+
b) 1800MHz (supplemantary band to be confirmed later time but this appeared in newspaper biz section)
Ah, looks like you have found the LTE thread in our forums.
Well, we’ve read that too but so far we haven’t heard anything from MCMC about 1800MHz spectrum. Right now, 2600MHz is where the action going to be.
how about the performance..is it good as galaxy note2
