I'm using the USB dongle and I'm not sure if there are any custom software/firmware that could change those information. I'm new to wireless broadband (always with Streamyx but now totally sick of it) so I was thinking if it's possible to get 3rd party modems? I can't believe that by using this wireless 4G, I get better latency in my COD Black Ops compared to Streamyx which is WIRED.

See how much our Streamyx fails but still not doing anything about it!

I mean Go

Added on December 12, 2010, 2:42 amI can login to Yes Account at their website but when i login using Go, it says incorrect Yes ID or Password. Why is this happening?

How long did it take to activate your account? Mine after 2 days still haven activate

finally i found a sweet spot in my room where i can use it more stable, other spots in my house are quite patchy, frequent disconnection especially when downloading.



still not as good as others in strong signal area, but better than my digi internet

me too, at first i entered the number outside the box the MAC number, but a few days after I saw YES reply in Twitter you have to enter the one inside the white case 1, the one which contains your dongle: the SN starts from YES ..... something

weak signal indoor....my solution is locate the GO dongle near window and i can get 4 bars near the window.
I don't know whether you can use a USB cable to extend it to window...last time try it on 3G HSPDA modem and it couldn't work.
What i did is cut the USB cable (there are 4 tiny wire inside)
and use 4 parallel coaxial cable, did a bit soldering and this replace that 4 tiny wire. This way i can have a longer USB extension cable and it works perfectly well.

I will not use YES until there are wimax router available at a reasonable price.
Because with a router, i can put in a hardware firewall.

Without a hardware firewall between the modem and Windows operating system, my computer could infected with Malware/Trojan anytime and become a Zombie compurter anytime.

u wait after alot of people jump ship you will be slowed down also, then we'll see if the company at like tm or not...

wat is Yes warranty code?

btw, the free 10gb until 19 dec will expire d ??

thanks man. but it ask me for warranty code, which is 7 digit. u can see it on yes website warranty page.

By the way, they don't even cover my area and they still asking me to activate my Yes ID! Seems funny!

how do u guys do voice calls use YTL? I mean need to use the YES phone issit?

Yes WiMAX phone already in their store?

the yeslife can only be use when connected to their network via YES-GO or yes huddle.

if you use your house WIFI, it won't connect, this is very bad!

can i MNP from DIGI to YES ?

Just try yes life today.. Downloaded at their website. No problem login through Jaring ADSL network. So it's working now outside YTL network.

Not true....
whenever im out of YES coverage what i need is House/public WIFI to use YESlife for calling and sms....
Try it it work.... and it work for me....

i think that claim is not 100% correct, last time i use it i can connect to yes life using my office internet connection using streamyx & time

You're right. That's why you can't compare a RM88/month landline with a mobile wireless broadband line like Yes. Unifi's VIP5 which is at RM149/month with a 2 year commitment which adds up to RM3,576 + RM200 installation, and had an initial download cap of 60GB/month. So RM3,776 is the entry TCO (total cost of ownership) of the VIP5 line.

Compare that with a much lower entry level of Yes due to no contract, with a different usage pattern because it is mobile (when you come out of the house you're supposed to be doing something, not downloading large files like a madman/woman). Sure, RM3,776 will get you only around 177GB on Yes but you then have to cost in the premium of

1. mobility
2. no contract
3. the ability to login using one account on multiple devices at multiple locations (1 Yes ID can login to 3 Huddles concurrently)

how much of a premium would you pay for the 3 features above? Additional 20%? 30%? It's even more dude, when you consider a fixed line call is approximately 4 sen/min and a mobile line call is around 12 sen, that's a x3 premium right there just for mobility!

Simple example, you compare personal loan with credit card. Personal loan can give you larger loan amount, lower interest, etc. because they know for the next 20 years you're stuck with them. Credit card limit is low, interest is crazy high, but it's a lot easier entry level and you can potong the card anytime. Same thing, Unifi is like personal/housing loan, Yes is like credit card in theory. Different usage totally, you don't hear people say "damn I don't get a credit card because personal loan give me more money with lower interest!", isn't it?

And by the way, 4GB on Yes is RM82 only not RM120. I think that's one of the weaknesses of YTL's pricing structure, and specifically the cube. People look at it and make a mental calculation: download 10GB = RM300! When it's only RM210, which is a big difference imho. I don't like the concept of the cube at all, I foresee when they want to come up with new packages they will need to design a new cube, because the cube only got 2 sidefaces, which severely limits innovative pricing plans. No point putting their blue cube there but then all the important info like new promotion or additional rebate is a block of text which doesn't appear in the adverts.

The cube doesn't show the rebate portion which is very important.

anyone manage to install the latest Yes Connect ver 1.4.1.28 ?

Org kaya pakai YES . Saya pakai NO

May I ask some question before getting it.

1. As stated, minimum usage is RM30 per month. Are they going to send us a bill or by eletronic email format?
2. For data usage, if using >3GB, there are rebate for it. How they going to calculate it? By monthly basis?
3. I read someone using it and immediately deduct the top up after using >150MB. Doesnt they count the total usage for the month and deduct accordingly?

As far as I know, we need to have minimum prepaid amount. Once the amount reach to zero or negative value, YES will cease the usage until we paid up? How long are the grace period before we reactivate it back?

Sorry for asking so many question as these will help me to decide whether to proceed with YES or not. Thanks.

So... Does that mean I can call and send SMS through my iPod Touch 4? I really don't understand how this works. You need a Yes ID, a program called Yes Life, and what?! How do I even get Yes Life in my phone or iPad or iPod?!

Yes, they need to explain it better.
