guess u miss the part about Klang Valley. One thing is true, all ISP has a theoretical max speed, but only achieves 1/3 if they are lucky. While I do not dispute Yes speed, I am mostly making a point on the bandwidth allocation in terms of cost per MB.

if we are lucky and Yes does take note of their competitor, than we should expect Yes to come up with a better package such as RM68 - 7GB.

Wishful thinking anyway for now.

careful cherroy, aneip don't like us stating fact. else, we will be accuse as sales person.

Honestly, I am not concern about the theoretical speed. It really depends on your location even in Klang Valley. As you so rightly put it, U can achieve 42Mbps at Time Square and so can Yes at Lot 10.

What I am stressing is the package they are providing in terms of MB to $$$ . Again, I do not doubt the speed from Yes or U. Cause is is by leaps and bound what TM has provided (suppressed) us all these years. All, I am saying is I hope Yes can start to provide a better value package and hopefully increase their value and retain their local customers.

Oh, on your request for SpeedTest, that is somewhat useless. Here is why. I place Zoom modem on ground floor of living room for almost 4 months due to central locality of my other WIFI devices. Achieved DL 3MB and UP 1.5 consistently. Then, 2 months ago, I moved Zoom modem to 1st floor family hall, and I achieve DL 7MB and UP 3MB consistenly. So SpeedTest only tells one part of the story. Other things like elevation (I guess) apart from the strong signal coverage seems to have different effect on Speedtest reading.

One thing that you have or have not realized, Yes has not been very honest with their subscribe base. For instance, 2 other competitor, which I dare not say at least allows new customers to get a refund for a 7 days cooling period. Instead, Yes has subjected new subscribes to at least buy their started pack at RM100, to go and test and no refund is given. After that, Yes will report that their subscribes base has increased dramatically when these users may have dump their account due to poor quality in terms of coverage or speed or reliable connectivity.

And there are other areas as well that Yes has unscrupulously tried to create an fictitious subscribe base. But again, some members here are not having ACTUAL customers like me to voice the truth. Now, I guess they may be paid Yes cyber troopers to quench any discontent or honest comments of customers.

apology accepted.

nonetheless, i am trying to state the fact about package and not the speed. if u realize, in some other countries, speed under 20Mbps is considered just entry level broadband. but here in Malaysia, we are satisfied already if we get a consistent 5MB. maybe in the next 5 years, our demand for speed increases and we can hope to see 5 fold speed increase or more.

maybe with more hoo haa, Yes will start noticing and start giving more competitive package. I believe in the end, the one to benefit is us.

Anyone here attempted to hack the Yes Zoom Router. Don't seems to be anyway to open the router as there is no screws anywhere. Wish Yes put more quality in the router with stronger WIFI signal throughput.

one trick. try to place your router, huddle on the 1st floor or highest floor. near to window.

Anyone here uses Skype or other video conferencing software. Just take note, your bandwidth will be quickly used up in matters of minutes if you are not paying attention.

As an example, I used DuMeter to check my bandwidth utilization especially when using Skype. They have a stopwatch feature that check upload and download used. In a normal Skype Video Conference averaging 20 minutes, the total upload and download data used is about 350MB.

However, prior to Skype Video Conference, I have also check my Yes account on www.yes.my to check available data (purchased from Value Pack). After end, of Skype Video Conference, upon checking www.yes.my again, it will state that I have used up around 500MB.

Not sure where the disparity is, but I am also fed up with reporting to Yes Support or the lack of it. Anyway, just take note of your bandwidth allocated when using Skype.

maybe u should post a picture with and without strainer and also speed test to prove to any disbeliever.

Yes, you can. I have 2 Zooms and 1 Go Dongle using same Yes Id. Just beware of the data usage.

Yes, at the same time.

wrong. u can use both at the same time.

Saw on Yes website today, if you perform automatic reload, you are entitled RM5 rebate. So pathetic savings when is only account for 3.33% saving for VP150 and 7% saving for VP68.

You can't. Just use out your remaining credit. Yes does not have a 7 days policy return like P1. If you are lucky, you can try to sell your Dongle on Lowyat for a lower fee and get you $$$$ back.

Are you referring to remote access management?

If yes, it is quite simple, but poorly documented by Yes.

Firstly, just maintain the port 8080.

Check enable remote management.

Also, make sure you get a free dyns service.

Once that is all setup, u can access remotely from anywhere

Remember to use https and explicityly state port number

Eg.

https://myhome.freedns.tv:8080

Added on November 9, 2011, 11:38 amIf you still have credit in terms of $$$, than it will get deducted RM30 each month until no credit left.

If you still have credit in terms of data base on purchase from Value Pack, it will become 0 MB after 30 days even if you have data credit left. Unless of course you reload another Value Pack.

Personally, 3 months rebate or forever is not sufficient given the high cost we are paying for the bandwidth. Especially for heavy users.

Let me guess. Bought from Mika.
