U Mobile’s first Radio Base Station supports 42 Mbps

QUOTE
U Mobile and Ericsson are announcing U Mobile’s first Radio Base Station site.

It will support the 42 Mbps Mobile Broadband service in Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur.  It uses Dual-Carrier HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access) connections for sending and receiving wireless data with two channels at download speeds of up to 42Mbps. U Mobile will then deploy the service to other areas within Klang Valley in few weeks time.

“With the roll out of this new technology, U Mobile will be the first service provider in Malaysia to begin the deployment of a commercial Mobile Broadband service capable of delivering speeds of up to 42 Mbps using HSPA+. U Mobile’s subscribers will soon be able to enjoy superior mobile broadband service that offers high download speed and fast response time with the use of HSPA+ capable USB modem” said Dr Kaizad Heerjee, Chief Executive Officer of U Mobile Sdn Bhd.

“Besides that, users can experience ease of files transfer and streaming of high quality video to mobile devices and laptop, among others” added Dr Kaizad.

Krishnakumar Guda, President of Ericsson Malaysia said: “With Malaysian users becoming more internet savvy, the demand for faster speed and low latency continues to grow. In order to meet this increased demand, High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology makes it possible to deliver mobile broadband services faster and more cost-effectively. Ericsson is very pleased to be the technology partner with U Mobile as they take this next step to enhance their network and launch the fastest mobile network in Malaysia.”

3x topup validity is for your prepaid itself. umobile has only introduced this recently.

http://www.u.com.my/prepaid-packages/rates-and-validity


UB68 1-month validity is for the broadband plan only.


so, after 1 month of broadband, your prepaid will still be active for longer period.

maxis introduced HSPA, also got cap in their plans. digi claimed their network 14.4mbps also got cap.

so, for now, umobile's network at BTS is 42Mbps ready. and soon to other locations as well (based on the press release).


let's wait until umobile offer the plans only then we can debate.

Planning to terminate my P1 W1MAX and considering the UB68 plan.
Do I need to be a u-mobile user to subscribe to the broadband?
How's the connection in Sunway? stable?
*
Sunway area is well covered (note: There's official umobile service center in Sunway Pyramid)

if u're worried, get the prepaid first.

Added on October 1, 2010, 8:00 ambtw, the prepaid can be used for voice/sms too. if you dont use much, just topup enough to subscribe the broadband plan.

1 prepaid pack = 2 full functions biggrin.gif

sunway is exceptionally good.

if have doubt, get the normal prepaid started pack (RM8 per pack with RM5 preloaded), then topup enough for the broadband plans available.

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

suggest to get the UB68 plan for maximum speed. try it for a month and gauge the average speed at your area.

if not satisfied, no frill. use it for sms/calls wink.gif the rates are now quite affordable.

correct, if you dont have a modem, get the promotion instead.

RM100 for the modem is quite affordable too.

there is no contract (except the 1st 5 months).

Just want to confirm:

1. If no U mobile coverage in my area, the service provider will auto change to Celcom? (cause I live in Shah Alam) No extra charges for postpaid and prepaid right?

2. U Prepaid Plan validity issue:
     -Top up RM100 at Jan 1, balance validity: 300 days
      If I top up RM100 the next day Jan 2, balance validity: 299+300=599?

3. The balance of the money can use for deduct the data service and not only for voice call/sms?

4. The 18 cent per min for U prepaid plan end at December 31, 2010?

Thanks in advance for anyone that answer my question
*
1) roaming is automated. there is no extra charges. better set your phone to "Auto" in the network setting.

2) the validity thingy is overlapping (not cumulative). Jan 1: RM100 topup gets 300 days. Jan 2: RM100 topup gives you just 1 extra day.

note: if i am not mistaken, if your subsequent topup gives you lesser validity days than the first, you dont get anything. e.g. Jan 1: RM100 topup gets 300 days. Jan 2: RM50 topup suppose to give you 150 days but you wont get it because (1) it is lesser than the 300 days you gotten already and (2) no cumulative validity.

3) yes, the credit balance can be used for both data and voice/sms. but remember to subscribe the broadband plans before you use data. else, the data rate is expensive (10sen/KB).

4) 18 sen/min is the new standard prepaid rate. the promotion U3G rate (12 sen/min) ends at Dec 31, 2010 for calls originate in umobile's 3G network (KV, Ipoh, Seremban, and JB) with 3G phone.

examples:

(a) KL ----> Penang (12 sen/min)
(b) KL ----> Kota Bahru (12 sen/min)
( c) KL (but 2G phone) ----> Gombak (18 sen/min)
(d) Raub (2G or 3G phone) ----> KL (18 sen/min)
(e) Penang (2G or 3G phone) ---> JB (18 sen/min)


Note:
( c) even if you make a call in KL, you use a 2G phone, which means you are not fully in 3G network but forced to roam on Celcom.
(d) & (e) calls from Raub and Penang is not entitled for U3G rate because those are not within umobile's 3G network.

the U3G rate (12 sen/min) is more beneficial if most of the time you are in umobile's 3G network and using 3G phone.

else, standard rates apply (18 sen/min)

If I register tomorrow [Sunday], when will my broadband connection be activated?

u mean register what? prepaid itself?

if prepaid, it wud be faster from service centre. if from dealers, may be longer as they have to submit the registration form back to umobile to activate.

broadband subscription is almost instantaneous (just be sure to wait for the SMS confirmation).

service centre is always faster.

from dealers, they need to submit the registration form to umobile. so will be slower.

i think postpaid broadband (like the Free Modem promo now they are having) is activated quite fast if done from svc centre.

find the svc centres here: http://u.com.my/service-centres

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.

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.
