The U mobile will automatically renew the mobile broadband or not?

Digi has a bad habit of automatically renew the RM15/unlimited internet without notifying the users.

What do you mean by renew?

This is postpaid service.

If you refer to their prepaid service ,then No. They do not auto renew unlike DiGi.
So if you subscribed to prepaid and your data plan expired, your money will get drained with the pay as u use charges.

Look like very good deal there. Should subscribes for the MIFI. better version then Digi and Maxis offer.
Umobile is manual renew for prepaid U68. no auto.

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Nov 16 2010, 08:12 PM)
look at the plan table. http://www.u.com.my/broadband/plans

those with "days" validity = no auto-renewal.

those with "monthly subscription" = yes, autorenewal every month.
*
Ok. Thanks guys for replying. I just bought the U mobile prepaid sim pack. Preparing to use it with the modem.

If i over use it, how much are they going to charge me? Is it RM 0.01 per 10kb?

definitely no issue on chatting/msn/etc.

no trial period. get the normal prepaid pack and subscribe the broadband plans.

you get cheaper call rates and broadband as well  thumbup.gif

Yeah. There is 1 package for Internet only cost about RM 10 per month, but can use 100mb only. sweat.gif

But it is good enough for me to use it for my Nokia 5800 requirement.

offically, the FUP is 5GB. but effectively most ppl got capped around 10GB+. you are damm lucky using up to 30GB/60GB for the price you pay!

other provides dont even give you this kind of "hidden" benefits biggrin.gif

i have tried around Subang Mewah, SS13/15 and Sunway Pyramid. Very good performance. I guess SS19 should be well covered.
BTW, Sunway/Subang area will soon be upgraded for 42mbps HSPA+ network.
*
When their network upgrade will be completed?

Everytime when i heard my P1 or my hostel network being upgrade, their performance sucks until the upgrading is completely over.

QUOTE(luckyhillkop @ Nov 18 2010, 02:15 PM)
thanks man. SS15 is very near to ss19 already but still I dnt feel save. think i better buy their prepaid sim first.
their UB68 MiFi plan is very tempting.
another question, do u know if i can use the Mifi with other telco's sim?

Added on November 18, 2010, 2:21 pm
even 10GB is well over maxis who is soooooo efficient to throttle your speed to 0.000000000000001kb after 3GB
*
+1.

When i use their internet using the mobile phone, they do remind me i was about to exceed the quota. biggrin.gif

yes low, but the chances are still there. don't take this personally, but i have learned not to trust telcos talk too much. your map still has non-3g spots here and there inside your 3g coverage area. i just want to make sure smile.gif

No one answered me yet so maybe u can.
Can i use the MiFi in your UB68 package with other sims? Cz when i balik kampung theres no u mobile coverage there.
*
another catch with the coverage map is that you won't know if that area is congested or not when checking for other telcos.

For U mobile, it seems to be ok.

Hopefully it can be remained that way for a long time.

You use P1 for how long? I also waiting for my contract to expire, then change to Prepaid Internet fully.

Umobile is quite generous in their FUP quota. They'll not cap you unless your area is highly congested and you're flagged as the top user by certain percentage in their network monitoring system.
*
Same as the P1 Wimax when they are first introduce.

They never cap me in the first few months. But now, i think they capped the users real time or at least day by day.

Now Yes has spoilt everything and the industry.

Thanks to them other telcos now feel less threatened than before and might follow their exhorbitant pricing.

Malaysian broadband industry has no hope anymore.
*
Another issue is that they can't even get their damned website up.

I really hope that the other telcos won't follow that.

Umobile was about to launch a very competitive plan to equal Yes with their MiFi promotion and upgrades.

Now that Yes failed to turn heads, they instead changed the cap speeds after exceeding quota from 384kbps to 128kbps?

That's why I say they went and spoilt things..
*
Wow, looks like i can only use the RM 20 per month package. No need to worry about the throttling speed and sufficient for my usage.

QUOTE(debbierowe @ Nov 20 2010, 09:47 AM)
is this the fair usage for all package? even the U68 that stated unlimited?
*
cybpsych have just explained.

but looking at the current situation, i think we should be real careful about subscribing a plan.

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Nov 20 2010, 10:40 AM)
no. read the plans again in the website.

except ub68 "unlimited" plan, all other plans dont really have FUP because after quota, it will be charged PAYU rate (which is why it is not considered as "unlimited"). NO throttling as FUP doesnt applies.

ub68 plan is termed "unlimited" as you dont need to pay extra charges. however, there is a quota threshold whereby throttling will take effect (as per FUP)

http://www.u.com.my/policies-terms-and-con...ir-usage-policy

remember: FUP is applied by ALL service providers, not just umobile. FUP is there to protect other equal users as well. most ppl with high-usage felt hindered/troubled because they hit FUP quota too fast smile.gif

the only not-so-clear-FUP is by Streamyx. really unlimited, but you get sux services from them.
*
What to do? We hardly have any good choices.

QUOTE(wongpeter @ Nov 20 2010, 04:22 PM)
Whatever the industry, unless its a monopoly, is subject to the laws of supply & demand. it is for us endusers to dictate the demand. Let us work together and ensure that whichever telco decides to raise the charges which are already exorbitant, will be committing suicide by jumping ship. So in the unlikely event that Maxis raises their charges, let us all migrate to DIGI and leave Maxis high and dry. Now we shall just wait & see which telco is smart enough to DROP their prices and leave YES to die a stillborn death! I hope DIGI's top brass will read this. *hint* *hint*  wink.gif
*
YES already have a real bad start already.

If all telco maintain the current rate and maybe adjust the voice plan, they still can compete with YES.

For me, I am definitely won't buy a new phone and commit myself to the "irrational" plan to enjoy YES services. I stick with Digi and U mobile. icon_rolleyes.gif

This throttling is now industry standard? Digi is 128kbps, Celcom too? Maxis too? Anyway, the Yes rate look not cheap at all, you need a their device. Voice is 9 sen, U Mobile is 12 sen if using 3G on U Mobile, of course with U Mobile, you need to reload 10myr which has 30 days. Not like Yes, you need 30myr minimum usage.

I really hope a better HSPA+ package
*
I thought this existed for a very long time?

Anyway, i hope that the slow speed for U mobile for these few days is because they are upgrading their system only.

Woaaa.. people getting more more high expectation. when we have something good we want more but when the more we get we insist for more it a never ending cycle.
as Umobile BB user i'm happy with the speed(1mb daily) and the quota at the moment but if i were as what i am before using streamyx(now at new house no tm line) this will not be enough.
but i learn to live with it but with a dream one day Umobile have better plan higher speed and quota. rclxms.gif  flex.gif  drool.gif

huhuhu... morning dream..

pssss .. UMobile dont capped me arr

Guys, for RM68 plan which meant to be unlimited. In FUP, it stated that it shouldn't be exceeding 5GB so why don't they stated 5GB plan in 68 plan rather than hide under FUP? So will the unlimited plan under 68 will be capped the speed at 128k if exceeding 5gb?
*
The term unlimited means that you still can use after using over 5GB. Otherwise, it would start to charge the users once it exceed the limit.

Correct me if i am wrong.

if no FUP, sure bankrupt the service providers ler (digi, maxis, umobile)
*
No offense, but i don't think that would happen.

Before that happen, i think most users would stop using the U mobile first due to the congestion problem.

Their 018 388 1318 line is 24 hours online?
