http://usbwifi.orconhosting.net.nz/usbscoop.jpg

i am getting only 1 bar at my home.

how was the speed before you put that walls?

what is that walls made of? i would use a little help here

great setup bro.. can we hook up external high gains antenna for the GO? or change to other USB device?

Just google wifi antenna.
Since Wimax and Wifi works on the same frequency range, all techniques will work.

i hooked it to through usb hub and hook it high, managed to get 3 bars on the living room though, speed still awesome 11mbps.

lower rssi = better.
how much you guys/gals paid for upfront?

One Lowyat shop selling it at RM30 + RM99 (USB Modem) , no activation fee?. Lot 10 need to pay RM50 activation fee?

Did you for some reason 'photoshop' this photo? The CINR part... the number 45 has some purple fringing at the top of number 5. Also the alignment and spacing is out compared to the other figures there. Most importantly... by RF standards today (at least WiMAX)... CINR 45? Not at RSSI = -70. You better be kidding hehehehe

Moral of the story... well... you would figure it out by now.

Just use a screengrabber program next time 

gentlemen,
a humble question...so what is your summary of YES? as promised or otherwise. going to KL sentral tomorrow with signing up in mind. hope my area is covered..PJ state.
don't download at all only email & surfing...should YES suffice?

then if not called 4G most normal users will go meh, just another internet provider and will not test it

Well, after some hesitancy, I decided to sign up for Yes. A few things I've realised:

Yes plan is something really different.
After talking to their sales staff, and watching their new videos on Youtube, it really is different from other telco plans. I've had years paying for Streamyx, mobile data, and voice for my phone. What I didn't realise is if I didn't use up to the maximum, I burn a lot of money. Paying RM66+68+50-70 bucks for Streamyx + Digi Discovery + phone calls per month, when I obviously don't use GBs of data....  and I can't transfer money from 1 plan to another (if I don't use Digi Discovery 3GB, I can't use that money for voice/streamyx right?).

The RM30 min usage (not min top-up like some mistaken people are saying) kinds sucks if I go overseas for a week or two (for my work), but I think once I get a Yes phone my total bill per month will go down by a lot. I'll see when the HTC phone comes out and I shift to Yes, if that's true or not, but calculation now is I'll save.

The network is really fast.
YTL really started my interest in mobile wireless, I read up a lot. Like people say LTE in Sweden is 59.1Mbps fast (link here), but I realised they have 40Mhz of spectrum so obviously they can go fast (in Malaysia only 20Mhz is allocated). Wireless speed depends on how much air your company owns to transmit signals, so my initial experience of 5-10Mbps (based on location) is pretty much as close to the best it can be, which is impressive.

At first I followed the other people and thought "ok, lets wait for 6 months then we'll see". But then I read all the technical stuff (like this here) and realised that we've been served with bad 3G and Streamyx for too long that we don't know what's good anymore. P1 has officially said that their average usage is 10GB/month (link here) so I guess WiMAX really can handle that kind of capacity.

They're really trying.
I remember the time when I just stopped complaining. It was after I moved to where I'm staying now and Streamyx became so bad I just stopped using it. When I got 3G, ok fine I can use the internet but it's slow, I didn't even bother complaining. This is one of the few telcos in Malaysia I've seen who looks like they're genuinely worried about how their service is perceived. Sure, their website isn't fully functioning and they're getting a lot of complaints, but I think only P1 and Digi have opened up the channels to let people shoot them.

This Yes Life thing is the killer app.
At first I didn't know what this Yes Life thing is about. After hearing the explanation and listening to the new Youtube about it I finally realised: this is the killer app. No more IDD. Wow. The fact that I can call and receive calls when I am overseas working at local rates is enough reason to subscribe. Right now it's just via PCs, but when their Andriod phone comes out Yes Life will definitely be on it. And their partnership with Apple so far tells me an Apple app isn't that far away either. I'm thinking of getting their HTC phone, since their CEO confirmed that it will have WiMAX + Wifi + SIM, it becomes the best roaming device. As long as I have Wifi, I'm in Malaysia.

So far, I think YTL got good long term prospects if they keep improving. I can only see their 9 sen plan go downwards, one day maybe to 9 sen/9MB-3 min-9 sms?  They have to go down that route when the TV thing comes in next year, as HD TV is a few GB per movie. And then those who are on their plan will say goodbye to other telcos.

I've got a Huddle, it's been good so far. Just wanted to add my 10 cents worth.

If use usb dongle...it doen't has a built-in hardware firewall..
You rely on Windows software firewall only...not very safe.
Hacker/attacker will be able to send malware/trojan to your pc/laptop and take over your pc/laptop and do what ever he like.

For 3G USB modem, you can use a 3G router and connect to a hardware firewall.
This can imporove security. But i don't see is there  a way to connect the Wimax dongle to a hardware firewall.

Example of a good firewall:

I'm betting both of you don't use 3G on your phone, since there is no 'firewall' on your phone. Can I also assume you never use public Wifi like Starbucks? Sigh, you probably don't realize that your phone is telling the whole world where you are right now, and that SMS is also unencrypted and can be sniffed with a RM50 antenna box.

Malaysia has a lot of idiots.

wow.. how to connect to the external port? 

omg...you miss-understand what i am talking about.
the data send/receive using https:// are secure even over the air.

What i means are those Malware/Trojan infection comming to your pc/laptop easily if your laptop/pc is not protected by a hardware firewall.
"Trojans have the same right on the system as does the logged in user. In other words, if the user can, the Trojan can. This includes deleting or modifying files, installing other software, uninstalling software, or sending sensitive password and login information to a remote attacker."

quick question, i would like to buy de wifi dongle to share de wifi point at home.....basically, i own a pc (surfing, check mail, msn, fb), 2 notebk, iphone, ipad also for surfing...mayb plus ps3 to play game...hw much it will be cost per month???? hw much of data will it need?

i jus need an estimation cost incur per month...appreciate any user can share ur usage per month...tq

I am also still figuring out how to connect to external antenna..

No picture

Wow, you posted again. Do you carry around a hardware firewall to connect to your laptop or smartphone wherever you go? I also assume you never read that phones also can get infected by trojans and be taken over. Google to remove your ignorance, dear.

Yes, I am in a bad mood today.

Thanks!
The photo hosting site was down yesterday.
Now all links working again.

Is the connector the same as on your laptop wifi card?
Picture not very clear.
If it is, salvage the wires from a laptop and make your own antenna.
So nice of the manufacturer to provide an opening for your external antenna.

Trojan horses can be installed through the following methods:
    * Software downloads
    * Bundling (e.g. a Trojan horse included as part of a software application downloaded from a file sharing network)
    * Email attachments
    * Websites containing executable content (e.g., a Trojan horse in the form of an ActiveX control)[4]
    * Application exploits (e.g., flaws in a Web browser, media player, instant-messaging client, or other software that can be exploited to allow installation of a Trojan horse)

I don't think antivirus or Internet security suites(software) is 100% effective against all type of malware out there.

Manage to borrow Yes GO dongle from my bro since he cannot install it on his laptop.

So far I'm pretty impress with the speed (average 5Mbps at SS18 Subang area) and finally able to login to Steam unlike Screamyx.

Is there any way to track your data usage when using YES? I already downloaded 10GB worth of data through Steam... From what I see on the billing page on their site, I still have RM10 as balance and RM10 for the rebate.

I still dunno how to check the data usage... 

the speed may be faster than tmnet but the latency still cannot compare.. probably will lag when playing games =/

if only tmnet made unifi available in my hometown.

I get around 4-7MB download speed in Ampang where I stay. Signal strength is around 3-5 bars. Anyone knows if we can upgrade the modem to 3rd party or anything we can do to increase the transmission rate/power?
