Hi user, I want to ask whether the U68 really is an unlimited plan. I am staying at Sunway and looking for a stable wireless broadband as the campus broadband suck a lot. Is it good for watching online video and downloads? Thanks in advance. =)

Yeah the campus internet sucks. That is why i use the prepaid broadband and bring it everyday to campus.

If need internet urgently, just subscribe the plan would do.

So far, it is ok for the speed. The only issue i face is that once i am out of bandar Sunway, I cannot use the U mobile 3G anymore.

worst video call is because of low uploading speed and high ping rate.
maxisbb always encounter high ping rate.

This means that it is bad for gamers.

If the ping is high,will the speed of the broadband being affected?

nope, should work i guess as the latency is quite low

it has 5GB quota after that speed throttle at 384kbs

I thought they throttle users to 128kbps after 5GB quota?

128kpbs after u reach 5G

cannot even stream utube

Do you have any idea how it would cost me to buy it?

yalor sis, they change the policy again.

How many times they have changed their policy already?

1 time only since their broadband launch in 2009. the change is just the speed throttle changed to 128kbps.

dont know the earlier broadband package.

u say enough fast or not?

128kbps = 16KB/s

Even streamyx is better speed.

guys..i think my umobile broadband speed getting worse..on the first 2-3 weeks, the signal bar is full..now, i only get 1 bar..wth?? wut could be the factor of it getting so slow? is it bcoz of christmas? i doubt so..

That's true. Have doubts about their expansion plan especially the ability to launch the 42mbps DC HSPA+ network widely with enough bandwidth to keep customers happy.

Other companies such as DiGi and Maxis are just observing them as guinea pig because if it manages to take off well, both of them are in a better financial position to bring it wide scale. That is if uMobile manages to pull it off well..if it fails, DiGi and Maxis will think twice.They are observing uMobile closely at this moment on their progress...

Talk about customer service, they have some of the rudest around. Have the nerve to tell their customers that they can't inform their 2nd level to call back their customer because they cannot spoil them. What? Wait till this is escalated to MCMC.
