last i check, postpaid ubsim is data-sim only. cannot make voice/sms/mms.

the other postpaid is postpaid voice plan + broadband tag-on. this is similar to prepaid voice plan + broadband tag-on.

RM68 for 10GB quota is still not enuf?

come on lah

btw, what is the speed of Digi Discover Day (RM38)?

officially stated as 5GB, but most users here only get throttled about 10GB.

finally found the caveat of Digi Discover Day:

so for everyday, you get throttled to 128kbps at night

yep, unlimited usage after 5GB [b]with FUP applies[.

if no FUP, sure bankrupt the service providers ler (digi, maxis, umobile)

i didnt mean actual bankrupt la. just a figure of speech

you will be capped about ~10GB eventhough the official FUP is stated 5GB

you basically get 100% bonus before being throttled (5GB+5GB)

riddle me: how much did you actually consume? 40GB? 60GB 120GB?

again, throttle speed has been changed last week. read previous posts of users already mentioning this.
correct! ppl nvr learn, pay a minimal fee, expect ridiculous quota.

am being capped now too. browsing is fine, a bit slow. cant complaint cuz i used up >10GB.

for massive download, i dont expect to finish it. copy the links and go back home using shitmyx instead.

just found out that U Mobile has a Friendster page now and they are running a 'Tron' contest

umobile does not roam in digi network.

as i posted earlier: umobile broadband exclusively utilises its 3G infrastructure.

if a user is outside of um's 3g coverage, no data services is available.


the reason why umobile sign domestic roaming agreement with celcom is to allow nationwide coverage/service for voice/sms

meaning user from e.g. Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah, Sarawak, etc. can enjoy umobile's voice plans (prepaid and postpaid).

this roaming topic has been discussed WAYYYY back.

donno what's the reason. check the press release: http://www.u.com.my/media-room/press-relea...ed-dr-agreement

Added on November 25, 2010, 10:53 amhookup to celcom 2g network ONLY for coverage.

charging is purely from umobile. meaning: if umobile charge 1 sen per minute (example only la), you can enjoy this rate whole nationwide.

this agreement, i think, is to allow umobile users to have voice/sms connectivity even when outside of umobile 3g network.

Added on November 25, 2010, 10:56 amtried that before. cannot dial

oh btw, throttling/speed profile is set by the provider, not from the network speed.


remember last time Digi shouted 14.4mbps network? but all their plans are lower than that and they cap at 128kbps?

network capability IS NO realistic achievable speed. it is all up to the service provider to assign.

Added on November 25, 2010, 10:59 ama little off topic: YES wimax service

it has voice (voip) and broadband.


what if the network is down? can you make voice call then?

if broadband-data only sim: reset is first of the month

if prepaid: follow broadband subscription cycle

call CS to lodge an official report. only they can answer these.



could be throttled after reaching your quota.

and btw, read the previous pages: there could be new throttle speed when FUP kicks in.

if YES wimax interferes with umobile, why not to celcom/maxis/digi too?

or better still, affecting directly to P1?

if such interference will occur, would MCMC assign wimax spectrum to wimax operators, knowing it will interfere with existing telco giants (celcom or maxis)?


for the problems so far, there are 2 types:

1) slow speed after throttle; whereby users are ignorant/refuse to understand the need for FUP.

again, if ppl jumping to other telcos, i wonder which of them offer higher throttle speed >128kbps? Digi? maxis? or dare i say Celcom???

remember: compare the price too, dont just look at one aspect (i.e want cheap cheap plan, but want unlimited everything! who's going to give you such service?!)

in short: you dont get both unlimited speed and unlimited quota. you get either, or.

i.e.

you get unlimited speed, but you will get throttled after a certain limit [FUP]

if you want unlimited quota, you dont get unlimited speed [not offered by ALL wireless broadband telcos, but only from Streamyx]


2) lately there are some connectivity issues stated by few users above. wonder what are the reasons.

any1 got the answers from CS?

agree on the frequent dc. not so good.

do let them lodge your report and give them some time to check. CS are not network engineers anyway, they can only assist whenever possible to resolve your matter.

harlo, ub20's speed is 1Mbps la. you are getting 1.22Mbps, still complain ke?

http://www.u.com.my/broadband/plans

dont expect anything higher for upload.

it's a network limitation. umobile is on hi-speed downlink packet access (hsdpa) only.

yes

different service provider has different network capabilities and of course, different plans for consumers.

that is why malaysian broadband users are all scatterred/switching between telcos. it is like job hunting! lol

1 user has good Digi coverage does not mean I have good digi coverage. same goes to usage pattern. I may download more, you may upload more.


in the end, equal comparison between telcos are difficult. it is not apple-to-apple. it is more like variety-of-apples comparison.

try to compare them on equal ground:

1) mobile wireless/devices vs mobile wireless/devices
2) home wireless/devices vs home wireless/devices
3) fibre vs fibre
4) copper vs copper
