they will limit the speed..., slower from 0kbps until 128kbps

I would suggest to you to take the Umobile

-->




but of course the speed will capped

that is normal

anyway...

Streamyx is still the best , for offering the unlimited internet bandwith/quota + stable..[the speed isn't the issue as 512kbps is still fast for normal browsing, youtube 240p/360p, downloading [up to 65kB/s]

anyway, I still remember that I was offered to upgrade my Streamyx from 512kbps to 1Mbps and pay only RM 71/month .. , the upgrade is free.. but of course need to pay RM 5 higher per month.. [i think this is applicable for those who had subscribed Streamyx for more than 2 years]

I'm happy using Streamyx, at least no quota..

go for Prepaid , you just has minimal usage.

Prepaid -->

Umobile BIS Unlimited, RM 34 for 2 month
- cheap, has many rebate...

Hotlink BIS Bonus, RM 20 per month
- better 3G coverage, faster and more stable [Maxis]

how much is your data usage for a month ..?

for me , light surfing is around 500MB , is 500MB is sufficient for you..??
if yes, Maxis IVP 50 is suitable + you won't exceeded the quota [1.5GB]

for example:
my usage
whatsapp = roughly 50MB per month [really big data usage for me]
light surfing = fb.com , google , etc.. 450MB
a-gps = 2MB
total is 502MB, sufficient for me... plus,.. I can use more..


Umobile isn't recommended , not stable data connection , better go for Maxis [a bit expensive but worth for you]

can you tell me, what are their hidden charges..?

almost 11 yrs using Maxis, no hidden charges at all [postpaid and prepaid]

celcom 2G -> EDGE is stable.. but the Umobile 3G itself isn't stable ..

it is fast,, but not stable..

that is not hidden charges .. you pay for what you subscribed.. if you subscribed 100MB data plan . and then use up to 500MB data.. you can't say the charge that incurred is hidden, LOL..

you need to pay for what u use..

again , I need stable connection and at the same time fast connection too.. Umobile is still lack of stability and speed[at some places] ..

if you want cheap .. go for Umobile RM 28/month,

have you tried the Umobile in Kuala Terengganu.. last time I tried in Jalan Pasir Panjang , nice and stable but roaming in Celcom EDGE... so low in speed..


or else.. use Maxis Hotlink.. and use Hot Ticket

since you need to put supplementary lines

that celcom package is suitable enough for you..

its depend on what you will use in your smartphone..

Light call / SMS , which means ..?? how many SMSes, how many minutes calls roughly ..?

I suggest -


if you just send 20 SMS/month , and roughly call 10 minutes per month..

you need to pay RM 50 + [20 SMS X RM 0.15] + [10 minutes X RM 0.20] = RM 55/month only

do notice that, I use the rate 'Maxis to other operators' , if you SMS and calls to Maxis numbers, it will be cheaper, as stated in the picture
and if your friend/family/contact has Whatsapp, don't need to send SMS.. just use data available
Whatsapp will consume less than 50MB per month, unless you heavy texting + sending audio + sending picture..


I still suggest that Maxis plan because NO Contract will be applied ,

Lower signal reception in underground or basement parking and area...

Never experienced any poor signal reception in ground floor until the 'highest floor' of any shopping malls

There are another factors too that you might need considered

1. Phone Accessories such as case, sticker etc
2. The phone itself that might has lower reception 'antenna'
3. The network coverage

For calling and SMS, yes

people supposed not to use the term 'hidden charges'... these can be very confusing..

Haih, so long didn't read this thread...

Most of the prepaid are similar since you dont want to pay any FEE.

And, most of them require top-up and reload to maintain/lengthen its validity.

the longest validity that I know is = Happy Prepaid, Top-Up any value[of course min is RM5], validity is 60 days, The starter pack is available in Kelantan and Terengganu. There are many telco shops that still sell it

other than that is

Umobile


Tron = reload RM10, valid 365 days


BUT, I still recommend that Celcom Xpax package[with fee] or Digi Super Long Life[Best Prepaid, also with fee]
that can last 1 or 2 years.. it is cheaper than just reload and reload...

go for Maxis/Hotlink prepaid broadband for faster speed, wider coverage... you won't regret

')+Feb 18 2013, 02:22 AM-->do you only want internet plan or with voice plan?

if you already have your own voice plan, what voice plan that you subscribed?

cheapest,

Mobile Internet Daily [500MB] RM5/day
Mobile Internet Weekly [1GB] RM18/week
Mobile Internet Monthly mLite [300MB] RM28/month



It still didn't covered Kuching yet.
Only some place around Klang Valley area.
hope can wait

LOL... there are many smartphones that you buy in Malaysia that can support Maxis 4G network, Nokia Lumia 920, Nokia Lumia 820, Asus Padfone 2, HTC One XL,
long short story


now, they only launch 2600MHz, Later, possibly around this year, they will launch another spectrum such as 1800MHz

you are posting in this section, so I think you are referring to mobile internet package and not wireless broadband, right?

another question, you want prepaid or postpaid?

I asking again, you want mobile internet package and not wireless broadband, right?


hmm, Umobile throttle speed is 64kbps, Maxis, 32kbps/64kbps, Celcom [unsure] but mostly said 64kbps, Digi throttle speed is 2G speed[not even EDGE, 2.75G speed]

I also wonder which telco can provide more speed after throttle

yes

if you reload with Kaw Kaw [something like Hotlink Hot Ticket], you could get some internet data too



or subscribe
RM 5/day [500MB] or RM18/week [1GB] , it is unlimited though, after throttle = 64kbps speed[need to be confirmed]

Just dial *118# and select Broadband to subscribe

your existing prepaid plans?
No

your existing prepaid plans?
