Just wanna thanks Digilife for getting the umobile line up for me.

Thanks dude, im surfing and lowyating with it now

Looking at uMobile site everyone gets to trial the 42mbps speed provided they have the right equipment.

Be it UB6 to UB68, you still can achieve 42mbps but with lower volume before it goes PAYU.

Added on April 14, 2011, 10:00 pmSo the upgrade would be 42mbps DC HSPA+ for both Penang and JB

While Klang Valley, Ipoh and Seremban (Central Regions) will be getting LTE?

Now here comes the not so good news.

If the LTE upgrade is true, then those of us who live within LTE coverage will not see much improvement for our existing HSPA modems because LTE is not as backward compatible as HSPA+ 42mbps.

With a Huawei MiFi HSPA device, although I'm getting slightly improved upload speeds(around 300kbps), my downloads can never reach 2mbps as previously. All these even with full signal bars.

If upgrades is in place, we should be getting something nearer to 5mbps but I'm no where near that.

and by the way 500mb is a lot if you're going to use the SIM entirely inside a smartphone without teethering as a phone modem & watching Youtube on it.

This is from experience that Youtube app is one of the highest consumer of bandwidth.

Smartphone app downloads and news/weather updates won't take that much bandwidth.

Looks like it. 50kbps only.

look like it, are you on the new unlimited prepaid? and exceed 500MB?

enjoy your broadband and btw, pls post some speedtest from speedtest.net

i believe its Dual Channel HSPA and not LTE yet

and btw, JB currently is only enjoying 21Mbps and not DC HSPA, only Single Channel HSPA

we in the central region will be upgraded to Dual Channel (DC) HSPA which max out at 42Mbps but you have to use this modem to enjoy it

lets see how it goes ..........
btw, i still din get my E372 yet , how to test?

put your UM sim into a 3G fon and "force" the network settings to only WCDMA and see weather u can see UM3G, if yes means your area is covered by UM3G, btw where is your location?

fyi, ZTE hav built lots of towers recently to facilate the launch of the 42Mbps in KL,Sban,Melaka and Ipoh

is this normal? i thought gprs line suppose to able to reach 200kbps? 

GPRS theoretically could deliver a maximum of 114kbps. In my experience however it is comparable to dialup at 50-60kbps...

i just apply u broadband yesterday. The speedtest have a bad result.0.5xmbps of download.

is ok if i just using it to surf net.

For gaming, totally cannot

how about P1?or yes?

gaming still ok ?

YES is ok, but you must ready a lot of cash to reload the credit..
P1, i heard the speed not very consistent..

Our information minister recently said that there would be 2 companies which would offer 100mbps soon.

Hinting from the information gathered through the news the two 100mbps LTE players would be Celcom and uMobile confirmed.

Celcom to trial LTE in Perak and Negeri Sembilan

Luckily, i live in Seremban

The Huawei E372 will be obsoleted and will not perform optimally with uMobile's ZTE equipment.

Word has it that ZTE will introduce a newer DC HSPA+ modem soon which is the ZTE MF680 to uMobile.





It is better to use the same modem brand with the equipment vendor for good compatibility reasons.
Before this my oem ZTE modem seems to prompt out errors each time I click on the connect button.Had to clcick cancel 2 times before it resumed.

However after the upgrade works it seems to have connected without the code error anymore.

I believe we should wait for the new ZTE MF680 modem instead since all this time, uMobile supplied free ZTE usb modems with their old HDSPA plans.

ZTE UniRAN solution is SDR based and therefore the transitional upgrade between HSPA+ to LTE can be made by just a software update.

They were the first in the world to introduce commercial SDR equipment and the built it in HK the last time if I could recall it right back in late 2008.

ZTE built the latest towers for UM DC HSPA implementation, i too thinking of buying the ZTE DC HSPA modem but its not available locally now

you knoe where can get it?
