I'l dump Umobile very soon.
Their service in Pasir Putih, Ipoh has deteriorated to crap recently and they are not showing any interest to expand their 42mbps HSPA+ service to Ipoh nor do they show any interest in making things right. From 3mbps last time, it dropped to 2 then 1 now on average I'm only getting like 0.5mbps.Who knows how much slower it'll become. My usage volume is only less than 1.5Gb last month on U68. |

It's the same plan. Say customer pays RM68 + RM100 = RM168 at first First month, RM20 rebate + RM20(from RM68) = RM40 , so no need to pay for this month Second month, RM20 rebate + RM20 (from RM68)= RM40 , so no need to pay for this month Third month, RM20 rebate + RM20 (from RM68)= RM40 , so no need to pay for this month Fourth month, RM20 rebate + RM8 (from RM68)= RM28 , so need to pay RM12 for this month Fifth month, RM20 rebate = RM20 , so need to pay RM20 for this month Their calculation includes the initial advance payment RM68 and this is the same payment that has to be made in the "newer" plan. QUOTE(digilife @ Oct 31 2010, 04:58 PM) Pardon me if i am slow in thinking......... based on the promo ending on 31/10 , the UB40 states tat there is no monthly pymt till the 5th mth whereas the "new" promo tats suppose to end on 31/10 there will be a rebate of rm20/mth from the monthly pymt of rm40, meaning u still hav to pay rm20 from the first mth of the package pls elaborate thanks  |

The 42Mbps modems are expected to be available next year. |

QUOTE(xngjn @ Nov 5 2010, 05:53 PM) so ub20 will cost price after exceed the 300mb? PAYU rate of RM0.01/KB.if somehow you really overused 300MB without knowing, the max. chargeable is RM176. i guess you are safe to use on the phone as you will defnitely get the SMS alert. most ppl use it on 3G modem dongle + normal windows dialer: they will sure missed the SMS notification. it would be safe to use the dashboard software while connecting: you get to know the data usage + SMS alert. |

QUOTE(devil94 @ Nov 5 2010, 06:03 PM) UB40 cant use sms either or call. only if you get data-only SIM.i posted this previously: QUOTE http://www.u.com.my/broadband/plans (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). |

Something is happening to Umobile's Ipoh network.
I've been getting like 0.4-0.6mbps speed for a week already when I used to get 2mbps+ speeds a month ago.This even happened during 4am in the morning.I supposed not many stay up that late but this is due more to Umobile allocating less bandwidth now to Ipoh area with theier 42mbps trials in KL. |
