take maxis surfplan 2gb per month @rm50 with throttle down after data exceed. speed stable in most area. speed averaging on 2-4mbps and if off peak hours can reach up to 6-8mbps in some area.. or umobile as their package quite good.

if speed is not your concern then digi smartplan will definately suitable for you as the speed averages around 700-1mbps. for all three plans 48-1gb/2gb,68-3gb/5gb,88-5gb/8gb.. . *there are possibilities of achieving faster speed at 2-5mbps for new subscribers as found out from two of my friends using smartplan tested with my earlier 68 smartplan.

maxis postpaid- you can take surf plan 50=2Gb, or surfplan 75=5Gb per month. no bill shocks and speed will throttled down up to 64kbps once exceeded data. speed vary from 2mbps-4mbps easily and some areas can achieve up to 8mbps.

if you live in klang valley/city areas should be ok. but to confirm whether ur area have umobile 3g. i suggest u head to any 7eleven or 99 speed mart to get one prepaid number for trial. fyi, umobile 2g signal is roaming into maxis network. so if yr area do not have good umobile signal, then just get maxis surfmore 50/75 with purely data plan only 2gb/5gb respectively. at least its more stable and speed is fast

Digi provides quite cheap data for prepaid as low as rm5 for 5days whatsapp n simple fb but speed wise is slow as 384kbps Maxis on other hand have few package also for their hotlink but speed no capping n as fast as postpaid users.

2 options- digi smartplan 58. give u 1gb of internet and 1gb of social apps. and 100min of digi-digi calls and 100smses.

or

maxis surfmore 50- monthly RM50 for purely 2GB data usage only. calls and smses will be charge as additional.

in terms of coverage wise i will say take maxis as they have widest 3g coverage and most stable in terms of speed. if your area are mostly city like USJ subang and Perak like Ipoh town digi 3G should not be a problem.

no worries. so have you make up ur mind? haha

i see. then the smartplan 58 is ideal for you as they give u free 200mins of calls & 200sms for digi numbers.

digi's coverage has improved alot these days. most of their indoor coverage like pavillion, outdoor - major highway like karak, north south, genting, sempah able to get good 3G coverage. speed wise not too bad on average 2-4mbps.
some area like melaka digi able to get full bars but maxis only 1-2bars

I have Maxis and Digi. Coverage wise both are good but sometimes Digi is better in some places where Maxis has poor 4G. Speed-wise Maxis is fast most of the time.
