I'm a pop star

My new USB modem, that is.

I've switched to Maxis broadband for my internet connection at home. I've been with Izzi for almost one year now (only 4 more days before it expires) and decided that I want to try the other internet provider hoping to have a faster connection.

Oh I know. We've had a not so pleasant experience with Maxis before. But it's all water under the bridge now. I guess it was the case of "ignorance of the law excuses no one".

And anyway, I wanted to have a cute modem for my laptop. Hehe.

My laptop got a chicer company than before. Hopefully they work well together.

I am currently using the Maxis connection and so far, so good. I've been disconnected only twice. Haha! I hope it's because of the rain and the thunderstorm.

Hopefully it's gonna be a speedier connection. Otherwise, it's sayonara for my laptop and modem.

UPDATE:

I returned the Maxis modem. The connection was crazy and I was getting crazier by the end of third day. It gets disconnected every hour or so. I had no choice but to return it eventhough I have to wait for 45-90 days before we get our refund. Sigh.

On the bright side, I got myself a new internet provider. I switched to Celcom. It's not faster but at least it is stable.

Look how small my modem is! It's smaller than the smallest of the light bulbs, I've ever seen. I like it!

hubby uses maxis too. and i don't like the connection. it promises you you could connect anywhere.. but not true.

we use streamyx broadband in the house. and so far, i don't have any complains.

I heard that streamyx broadband is still the best. Too bad, our place is not in their coverage.
