how is that even 65% coverage nationwide? it looks more like 10%

Bro, Celcom 68 only gets you capped at 384kbps which in my opinion way behind competition.

DiGi and Maxis doesn't cap their users speed for their RM68 plans until you hit the limit cap.

So Celcom is also a sucky service.

I don't want to pay RM98 which I don't get to use upto 5GB every month.

For RM129, you get no speed caps and 15GB FUP quota.

actually they meant 65% of PLUS highway....

i believe the main lowyat article about the service being not good at higher altitude is correct, my house is just up a small hill in Bt 9 cheras and as expected there's no coverage even though just exactly down the hill there's coverage! same goes for P1 Wimax

Why does it have such a sh!tty name? Seriously....YES? WTF la. I do not care if YES is part of the Ceo's name or whatever. Its still stupid

finally got the news..
YTL launches converged 4G network
Eva Yeong

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 19, 2010): YTL Communications Sdn Bhd today launched the world's first fully converged 4G mobile Internet service with voice offering the industry's lowest rates at nine sen a minute, per SMS or per 3MB of data through its pay-as-you-go plan.

The Yes service incorporates fully converged data and voice services, speeds of up to five times faster than 3G, new devices and a unified communication tool. The Yes service was officially launched by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pix left).

YTL Communications executive chairman Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh said: "Every Yes account comes with high-speed Internet access and a mobile phone number, making the convergence of data and voice seamless. Our subscribers will have not only high-speed mobile data access but will also enjoy voice, online chat and SMS services that can be accessed from anywhere in the world, through the Internet."

The Yes plan, which offers nine sen per minute/SMS/3MB is up to three times lower than current prepaid mobile Internet and voice packages, and combines voice, mobile Internet and mobile broadband into an integrated plan so that consumers do not have to pay multiple bills.

YTL Communications chief executive officer Wing K Lee said there is no throttling of data services and there is no wastage as customers are charged only for what they use.

He said there is no contract or lock-in period and there is no expiry for the credits.

Yes also offers up to 30% rebate to power users who consume a high amount of data that reduces the rates to as low as two sen per MB or RM20 per GB.

Yes is also a SIM-less service that comes with a user ID and telephone number that works across all devices, turning any device connected to the Internet into a phone.

During the launch today, YTL Communications and Samsung introduced the first all-4G mobile phone, the Yes Buzz. Other Yes 4G devices include Yes Huddle (4G mobile router), Yes Go (4G USB dongle) and Yes Zoom (4G WiFi router).

At the launch, the Yes 4G covers 65% of the population in Peninsular Malaysia and the company aims to increase the coverage to at least 80% by end- 2011.

Yeoh said that it currently has the licence for only Peninsular Malaysia but will extend the service to Sabah and Sarawak at the right time.

He said Malaysians travelling abroad can also keep in touch with friends and family at home through Yes at local rates without worrying about roaming charges.

He added that it would be giving 300MB of data or 100 minutes of voice calls a month free to every student registered under its Education Partner programme. "I am also pleased to announce that we will be extending the Education Partner programme to all government-sponsored scholars abroad."

Speaking at the launch, Muhyiddin said the service would help the government improve the household broadband penetration which is currently at 54.5%.

"I am confident that we can reach even more households and help establish high quality and affordable broadband network that will reach 95% of the population by 2020," he said.

He added that it is critical for the nation to balance market-friendly environment to drive private investments with maintaining its inclusive policy aims, particularly on affordability of access and quality of service in rural areas.

what are those dongle, phone , router cost?

rm99 for dongle. rm399 for mobile wifi router + 4G modem. others idk n idc

Why u talking about Clecom 68?? I gave an example of RM98 package and you talked others.
Pls do some homework first la....
That's one of the comparison only....then if Digi and Maxis are good, then go for them.
What I mean is, come to the end of monthly payment.....you need to pay more when you get the same
of data... If you are such a small usage user..then don't bother compare la...go for YES lor.
I'm doing for normal users that downloading huge data...then this talk is useless to you...

I quite agree with u. the yes 4g kind of overpricing for people who download lots of data every month. like myself min I downloaded at least 15 gb and sometime can goes to 30 gb per month. this just by using celcom 98 package. i'm paying lesser but can download more than what yes can offered.

own website also cannot manage.. how to manage giving others better service!

im trying to access their website since 5 mins ago and the page cant even load.
I think i'll skip this provider.

Say YES to become stupid....until now cant open their website.....gila.

Yes! to overpriced broadband...

Unifi still better.

At the moment... lol!

Yeah...if you downloaded 15G....approx RM450 and 30G = RM900...hahaha...what a joke...I am very pessimistic about the rebate too...even they
give you 50% rebates....still bloody expensive...useless package.

I think it's great for light and medium users Thinking of getting it
