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?

Hi, would like to ask a few question here, planning to get the UB68 plan..

Does the broadband cater for those living in higher than 10 floors? Cuz I'm on the 12th.

If I'm not satisfied and which to terminate it, any fees involved? What about the modem? Return it or keep it?

Since its a monthly bill, how do I pay it? Do I need to bring all the way to the Service Center to pay?

And finally would like to ask all U-Broadband user, how's the service and connection for u? Satisfied? Stable? Is it crawling at peak hours?
~ cuz I don't see much(or any) complain here from U-Broadband users, its either very few are using or it is really satisfying.

But the promotion is only for the Postpaid plan, not for the prepaid plan..
The prepaid plan don't include free modem, I don't have modem for the sim card so I'll most probably go str8 for UB68 postpaid promotion.
However since there's no trial period, if I decide to get it I'd need to stick to it no matter poor speed or else I won't get back my RM100 registration via the 5 months RM20 monthly rebate.

How about the 12 floors issue? Will it affect me if I stay high up at 12 floor?

Just asked some question at the service center and they said not recommended for those living higher than 10 floors..
How bout y'all user's experience? Is it possible? Cuz I don't require high speed, stable speed around 512kbps is sufficient..

i live in 11th floor, so i think u have no issue. why they said that? i thought the higher the building is, the stronger signal u will get. like those VHF /UHF frequency.  hmm.gif

Maybe cuz the base tower is not 10 story high?

Using celcom and umobile at 21st floor condo, speed seems fine ... fluctuates between 0.5 to >1mb

Wow 21st floor, which area?

Added on October 2, 2010, 9:26 pm hmm.gif I don't know whether I should take the risk to apply for it since it don't have trial period. Cuz I live 12th floor, another thing is sked signal might be blocked by another apartment block. The hopeless service from P1 W1MAX is tempting me to take the risk, but I sked it might back-fire.

i live at Ampang, @ 11th Floor and using mobile in a room with window closed
this is today speed test i say this one is ok, isalso use maxis but at anytime i prefer Umobile as it consistent and has good reception. Maxis u have to wait at wee hours 2am-7am to get a good connection i mean 0.5Mb/s above.

right now Maxis speed it just a puny 0.18Mb/s mad.gif  compared to u mobile 1.55Mb/s. Not to badmouth Maxis (Maxis can go as high as 5.78Mb/s blush.gif  at other area i use) but here Umobile is my core internet connection. Result is a proof.

Agreed.

I actually wanted to test out the speed at my home area and I got the prepaid pack (RM8 with RM5 credit value). I top up another RM15 so I could subscribe to the prepaid U20 plan.

It turned out really good at my place and once this is finished (only 300mb data volume), I'm gonna subscribe the U40 plan to see if 2gb is enough for me. If it is, then it's just gonna be U40 instead of U68 (unlimited). biggrin.gif

anyway to stop data coming in when idle? cuz I notice when connected but idle, data kept flowing in every second and this might clog up the FUP quite fast..
