Damn I thought coverage in Ipoh is pretty good.

you wouldnt want umobile users show the high-speed speedtest in maxis/ytl/celcom/digi/p1 threads, right?

you should be more open minded, if we dun compared how do we know which is better than who?

users hav the right to know, if you dun like the speedtest of other celcos posted here, you can ignore it, no harm done rite?

btw, a profile of 4096kbps is 3.6Mbps as my Maxis profile uplink is 2048 and downlink is 8640 , meaning its 7.2Mbps ready now

i am not promoting Maxis and dun intends to do so, this is for the knowledge of users here




although its 7.2Mbps we are not getting the best out of it yet as can be seen below



even some of you users here tat hav a profile of 3.6Mbps can even surpassed Maxis 7.2Mbps

Added on November 28, 2010, 5:49 pmJust buy a prepaid simcard from U mobile which cost RM5. Buy reload coupon of RM 70. Insert simcard in any mobile phone and subscribe UB68. Yr credit would be deducted after subscribing and you have 1 month unlimited usage starting from the moment you subscribe

how do UM Prepaid Broadband charge users?

i intends to use it only for my Ipad browsing without any Torrenting and P2P, and will the unuse credit be forfeited once the validity expired?

thanks

@cybpsych cool man, @digilife cool man

i am okay that YES, Maxis, DiGi, Celcom, P1, Streamyx, Unifi or whatever broadband comparison, user has the right to know,

@digilife haha, showing off Maxis Unlimited is it , some user reported that Maxis is now silently selling this, same old price RM99, not too sure on this, I personally never interested, too much broadband leh

on prepaid, you had to buy it at RM8 (inside has RM5), then top up RM63 (RM50 denomination once) at least, the credit will deduct at once, which is RM68, your validity usually 150 days from the RM50 reload. NO credit will be forfeited, after active, your line can stay for another passive 100 days

I know it is kind of hard to explain, well, you better make sure you want a RM50 reload at once, so you can get the number stay active for 150 days

@eXPeri3nc3 try to monitor your speed and latency, you can log a complaint of course

@iipohbee any chance you had log a report to customer service

on prepaid, you had to buy it at RM8 (inside has RM5), then top up RM63 (RM50 denomination once) at least, the credit will deduct at once, which is RM68, your validity usually 150 days from the RM50 reload. NO credit will be forfeited, after active, your line can stay for another passive 100 days

I know it is kind of hard to explain, well, you better make sure you want a RM50 reload at once, so you can get the number stay active for 150

meaning once i topup rm70 (50+10+10) i will hav a validity of 150 days to surf and after the 150 days, if i dun topup, the sim is still valid for another 100 days(passive) till the 101th day whereby the sim will be deactivated?


if i wan to reuse bb again i will hav to topup another rm70 and the cycle goes on....

how will UM charge me on the data usage? or rather how much data can de used for a rm70 topup?

compared to the UB 40 or UB 68 which is "cheaper" to use

abt the UB40, will the rm68 be used to offset the monthly bill as i understands tat rm100 will be "rebated" back to me in 5 monthly installments

thx


p/s i actually wanted to subscribe YES, but it seems tat lots of users are crying foul over the billing esp the rm1200 one time pymt type

week signal is one matter.

poor speed is another. most probably due to congestion on this small area. start bugging umobile to expand more basestation there to cope with ever increasing users there.

@digilife , you got me all confuse leh

UB68 postpaid: 1 month, 5GB up to 3.6mpbs speed, 128kbps after that
higher upfront cost, has modem bundle option

UB68 prepaid: 30 days, 5GB unlimited speed, 128kbps after that
minimum startup cost, around RM78, no modem bundle, as far as I know UB68 prepaid does not auto renew

UB40 is 2GB 1mbps speed, PAYU charges after that (Maxed RM176), beware
the activation fee RM100 is for postpaid, if you subscribe UB40, but you still have to pay RM68, it will pay your first month subscription, RM28 then carry forward to your next month bill, of course there is still RM20 rebate monthly (from the activation fee) for over 5 months

Already done that few times. Each time they say taking a look at it but nothing done.Technical department call me form tie to time to ask but still no improvement.

Added on November 28, 2010, 10:16 pmThis is confirmed to be due to weak signal.

I walked out of my house and noticed some slight improvement to my signal strength. Did a speedtest on the spot and immediately saw improvements..
From 300ish speeds to 900ish-1mbps+ speeds.

Previously I used to get almost full bars with Umobile3G most of the time.Speeds used to be good with over 2mbps.But since Yes launch approaches, the signal in my area dropped from full to almost none.

Read the back pages next time.

I finally notice that U mobile only switch their network to the Celcom network when there is no 3G coverage.

I have subscribe my UM 20, but the Celcom network allow normal stuff such as normal calls or sms only. I cannot use the internet service in the Celcom network for the U mobile Internet??

I'm not sure bout that

Last nite was the first time I get Celcom. Dare not connect, I dc rc till I get back Umobile lol

It is time for you to call to U mobile SC if this problem continue? Please share over here ya about their explanation.

from the above, UB68 is the BEST as we can buy the MiFi @ rm210 which is a steal comparing to Maxis new Ipad Data plan [to be launch next week] which they are selling the MiFi for rm380( data plan starts from rm58 for a 1.5GB quota , UM quota is 5GB for rm68 b4 rebate)
smart guys will/can sell the MiFi @ Garage Sale for rm300+ if they dun wan to it

Latest update - Change my U SIM as advised by the CS. Still frequent dc. Called them again, then they enquire their technical people, then told me that the new capped is 128Kbps - can use on phone only, not modem. Is that true? Does it means I can just tether it using my phone to use internet whenever they capped my umobile? Never heard os this before.. What I can do now is wait till it resets this coming 1st Dec. Argh... frustrated

tat CS is a noob, all usim can be used on a modem,mifi or fon, did u get his name? post it here

so confirmed capped speed is 128kbps. maybe time for cruxidex to update post #1


i wonder why change usim?

sorry -- can't remember the girl's name

yep, confirmed. not sure - they told me that maybe the U SIM faulty and causing lost signal that's why keeps on dc. but after change U SIM, they advise me to use phone instead of modem.

No need to post his/her name la. Yup can be used by on a modem, MiFi, phone regardless the capped speed, unless totally no service la.

really? so what's the deal with mine always disconnecting? hurm... anyone in kajang having the same problem? I'm in sg. chua/b.b.bangi sek. 7/8/9 area... I've been using umobile for the past 2 months, and it really works well but not for the past 1 week..

just speed test at bangsar jalan kemaris my boss house.
this few days i feel great, batter then Digi 384kbps..
so i got good coverage in my house and my working place..
