i live at Ampang, @ 11th Floor and using mobile in a room with window closed
this is today speed test i say this one is ok, isalso use maxis but at anytime i prefer Umobile as it consistent and has good reception. Maxis u have to wait at wee hours 2am-7am to get a good connection i mean 0.5Mb/s above.

right now Maxis speed it just a puny 0.18Mb/s compared to u mobile 1.55Mb/s. Not to badmouth Maxis (Maxis can go as high as 5.78Mb/s at other area i use) but here Umobile is my core internet connection. Result is a proof.


also u can check page 19 post#361 where my U68 goes 2.55Mb/s

Keramat, speed for tonight is acceptable



Also I was previously staying on the 24th floor near pudu, speed was fine too.

thanks guys for the feedback , I think I'm ready to take the chance to go for it, wish me luck

yup confirm... now they are giving free modem
ZTE MF180
- HSPA modem 3.6mbps max download speed only

celcom now giving
ZTE MF190 - HSPA 7.2mbps max download speed
&
HUAWEI E173 - HSPA 7.2mbps max download speed

anyone tried the new speed at bts? is it really hspa speed?

Thanks for the feedback.

Since UB68 users get download speeds betw 1-2 MB/s, I was wondering how fast can UB40 download speeds go?

ub68 has speed up to 3.6mbps. it is achievable. look at my speedtests.

it is all depends on your location and the health of the network traffic.

great speed: 2.7-3.6mbps
good speed: 1.5-2.7mbps
average speed: 1-1.5mbps
poor or capped speed: 384-1mbps.

in my case, i get between good-great speed.


UB40 has a max 1.0mbps speed.

that is why i always encourage first time user to try (at least) UB68 to get the max speed of 3.6mbps. then observe the speed he/she get at their usual locations (home or work).

if you get ub40, you will not know whether your locations can serve higher than 1.0mbps.

when will they expand their 42mbps speed?..b4 the end of this year?..any news?..

42mbps is the max network speed.

on most cases, users hardly get that high.


remember, you need to take in 3 factors:

1) network speed (now already 42mbps)
2) device speed (most affordable modems now offers 7.2mbps. havent seen 14.4/21/42mbps devices in the mass market, yet)
3) location speed (only now at BTS has 42mbps)

remember digi last time shouting about their 14.4mbps? it is achievable and not even offerred in their sub-RM100 plans?

same thing.

this must be the one that umobile use..the fastest modem that is available here mostly are 14.4mbps..

good find!

i remember watching this video few months ago..the news about umobile and ericsson must have sumtin to do with the technology in the video..

Thanks for the poison. Considering UB40 because I already have Streamyx at home. This is for my use during weekends at shopping centres/etc.

haha ok ok. i've tried at Mid Valley, crazy speed there.
