donno yet.

now me jealous those ppl at Subang and Sunway! their area will be the first HSPA+ rollout.

well, if your current modem supports 7.2mbps, connecting to hspa+ network will definitely allows you to hit the 7.2mbps speed

dont think the plans would be expensive. i'm thinking of the price for the hspa+ modem/dongle itself!

so basically the modem is yours immediately after signup.

(handphone image)
prepaid = prepaid voice plan + ubroadband tag-on <-- prepaid credit must be enough to subscribe each plan
postpaid = postpaid voice plan + ubroadband tag-on <-- each plan's price will be calculated together with voice during bill cycle (voice + data)

laptop (image) = ubroadband data-only (no voice call functionality) <-- similar to postpaid but without voice. u will get the monthly bills for data-usage


prepaid/postpaid + ubroadband can be used on 3G modem too, but i think it's more targeted for mobile devices usage (phone).

laptop data-only sim is more of full-time broadband using 3G modem (for those who dont need voice plans).

eXPeri3nc3, do you have any existing modem?

if yes, use your existing Umobile prepaid and purchase UB68 plan. Test it for a month or two.

dont think there is bill for ubroadband/prepaid

yes, service ctr to get the data-only sim.

get the maxis e1762 modem from this seller: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1367324

RM108 per unit only.

typo

good luck with that from other 3g broadband providers.


maybe they dont know yet

it is how the software algorigthm that intepret signal strength -> bars

something like what iphone4 signal bar problem.

"hsdpa" is just the network capability.

performance is subjective to location, time of usage, and traffic (and many other factors).

if you consistently getting 30kbps (day/night across many days), better to call CS to find out why the poor performance.

only they can help to investigate and find out what's wrong.

unless you have already hit the quota

this is not normal.

call CS immediately.

some users here were also facing similar problem after signing up.


that depends.

if it is too frequent, not good.

again, call CS too.




guys/gals, if you face unusual problem, call CS. let them know you are facing problem and they will keep a record of it.

if same problem happen too much, hopefully they noticed this and begin fixing them from their side.

if we dont call them, they will nvr know.

help them to help us back.

yup!

let's wait for the super highspeed "up to" 42mbps package. will see how high is the speed (down and up)

last month. found out from speedtest.net on their earlier (possibly) testing of the highspeed:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=36627285

promo extended to end Dec (from end Oct)

revision on the table visual. offerings are still the same, just no confusing table.

anywhere within umobile 3g coverage is hsdpa speed.

the variables for the performance is subjective... depends on location, time of usage, and traffic (and many other factors).


if in doubt, get Prepaid and topup to enough credit to subscribe the broadband plans.

then test it for few weeks.

so far no return policy. i thnk very troublesome to do especially u get broadband via prepaid. if data-only broadband, need calculations to refund u the balance.

that y i always recommend getting prepaid pack then subscribe broadband.

u get flexibility and cheaper call rates too .

1) TAC delay most of the time are delayed from the banks. CIMB Clicks is the worst, next to M2U.

for me, TAC works fine.

2) MCN is working. last i call their CS, you can enable both missed acll and voicemail separately. Have you check with CS recently?


ipoh congested most probably because some % of ppl overusing the bandwidth. this problem happens to all service providers, not just umobile.

in my case, maxis is the worst. next is digi. p1 wimax almost unusable. celcom, nvr bother to try with their crappy plans/speed.

too bad you are getting different experience.

every1 has his/her own right of opinions. whether to promote or bash their service providers.

umobile cs can elaborate.
