who said so? umobile coverage's very poor at johor area. when there is no coverage, it will switch to Celcom roaming with additional charges.
im agree with celcom got widest coverage but also suckiest in term of performance. u know what i mean  tongue.gif

note: switch to Celcom for voice & SMS. not other services. Also, since when got extra charges? same voice rate for all users.

cause last time someone told me umobile use celcom network. so i make some wild assumption that it has the same coverage too tongue.gif

hey nice speed man. celcom kinda worst on peak time. lunch hour and prime time 8-9pm. sigh sakit kepala wor

but anyhow it all depends on location
*
umobile's broadband depends exclusively on its OWN 3G network. that's why coverage is limited.

the roaming with Celcom network is to save cost. but ultimately, it benefits more to voice/sms users.

no hidden/extra charges.

umobile offer same rate to all, whether you are in the 3g network or roaming on celcom.

so, charges in klang valley == charges in kedah, terengganu, kelantan, pahang, etc. smile.gif

Umobile broadband Internet uses their own's network but Umobile phone(voice call) uses Celcom's network.
So far Umobile's own mobile network transmission tower only cover Klang Valley->Seremban->Port DIckson and Iphoh city and some part of JohorBahru.
That is why Umobile broadband coverage  only cove Klang Valley->Seremban->Port DIckson and Iphoh city and some part of JohorBahru only.
But Umobile phone(voice call) coverage is able to cover whole Malaysia because it uses Celcom's transmission tower
(correct me if i am wrong)
*
correction: Umobile phone(voice call) uses Celcom's network. when outside of their own 3G network.

e.g. Klang Valley/Seremban/PD/Ipoh/JB = Umobile's own network for Voice, SMS and Broadband

anywhere outside of their coverage = roaming on Celcom network but just Voice/SMS


*Update: Noticed umobile have been quietly expanding in Johor as well thumbup.gif :

network expansion takes long time, large sum of money, and other resources.

we've just got to wait till umobile slowly expand.

after port-in, follow the instructions here http://www.u.com.my/u-broadband/getting-started

*make sure prepaid credit is enough to purchase the plans.

what kind of modem you guys using? i can't get those speed even on morning

wireless broadband has many factors involved. any hsdpa modem would do for umobile broadband cuz they only support max 3.6mbps.

getting a super modem wont help the speed. it is all about location and traffic (and all other stuffs)
