hmmm i use maxis 6 gig plan
the term “After reaching the quota usage, you will be disconnected and you can add additional bandwidth at RM18 for 1Gb”
for me maybe wrong because after i’ve finish the 6 gig….my speed will be capped at about 20 KB/s
U can still surf however, but at slower speed until the next month come then the capped is reset back to 6 gig
