Upload speed around 0.06 Mbps means around 60kbps = 7.5kB/s?

I subscribed yesterday for U68 plan, noticed that my area has HSDPA coverage but my speed was less than 512kbps. Not sure why, but when I do speedtest, there was a sudden burst before limiting to 512kbps. Am I being throttled? As far as I'm concerned, I downloaded 400mb worth of data yesterday.

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Sep 12 2010, 07:37 AM) 1) download it here: http://www.nerve.org.za/ Hmm I tried running the application but it gave me an error "Unable to open COM port, mobile data device possibly in use by another application." I'm using the given ZTE modem and currently connected via ZTE User Interface that comes together with the device.2) no setting is necessary as it uses the standard dialup connection. 3) once connected, u can find the profile speed. note: throttled speed will show Downlink: 384.00 |

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Sep 12 2010, 07:57 AM) That works, I was able to get the application running but somehow the assigned profile is showing me nothing. ![]() Hope you can help me on this one. Current speedtest is showing me 0.44 Mbps, the meter is running in between 0.44 and 0.45, it's like there's a speedcut installed This post has been edited by Icehart: Sep 12 2010, 08:08 AM |

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Sep 12 2010, 08:24 AM) cant be cuz there is no data passing thru MDMA to register the usage (based on your screenshot). I tried already but the results still the same. try redo everything. disconnect, close mdma, unplug modem -> plug modem back, open mdma and dial again ![]() Should I download the previous version and try? My line quality: ![]() Speedtest: ![]() This post has been edited by Icehart: Sep 12 2010, 08:34 AM |

QUOTE(mono @ Sep 12 2010, 07:29 PM) i read in the website that UMobile does not have any contract for its broadband package. - Modem provided is ZTE MF180 (in my case). if i take their U68 postpaid package, what i have to pay is RM100 (activation fee) and RM68 (1 month advanced payment). And, i would get a free usb modem. my questions:- 1. What model is the usb modem provided? 2. IF im not satisfied with the service and decided to cancel my subscription after 1-2months. Do i have to return the usb modem or can i keep it? 3. Can i use their usb modem with other provider or is it locked only with Umobile? thanks - Yeah you can terminate your subscription at anytime. That's what the CS told me. - The modem is not locked |

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Sep 13 2010, 10:56 AM) Yeah, but yesterday I called too but the CS says my account no cap Gonna visit U Mobile center at Sunway later. Another speedtest for Mono @ Ampang: ![]() Internet speed is quite fast in terms of loading page, but I can't give any download speed test as my account has been miscapped.

QUOTE(mono @ Sep 13 2010, 06:20 PM) icehart: thanks for the info. appreciate it greatly. but, it seems that you are not getting UMobile's "full" speed. Yeah, just went to service center to check today.what about the miscap thing? They told me they never encountered such problem before and were very curious with my problem. In the end they admitted it's their internal network system that is limiting my speed. I haven't breached the 5GB quota yet. They mentioned to me they will check with the networking side and revert back to me as soon as possible. |
