where is ur location?

Bangsar.

Any recommendation??

That place should be in coverage well.

The next issue is that do you use it near the windows or door or not?

Wow, does it matter?


I check my coverage location from here
http://www.u.com.my/broadband/coverage-locations

There are two maps:
1. Broadband - up to 42Mbps
2. Mobile Internet - up to 3.6Mbps

What are the differences between these two?

My area does not get covered by the first but gets "Mobile Internet Excellent Coverage" in the latter.

I can't believe this of all places in the world, Bangsar does not get covered by uMobile broadband???

Hell yes it freaking matter.

If you are in the lift you sure see your mobile signal went down and yes, i know you did not live inside the lift.

Your room area is quite important as well. Some people stay in a windowless room and rely on air con to live i also live in there before, but i did not use the broadband that time.

You can stay 10m from the UM 3G tower, but if are underground also can barely receive the signal. It really depend on your location, but if you put it near a door or windows usually should not have the reception problem.

The difference is your speed, but want 42Mbps? Pay more money for the modem.

but is the 42mpbs modem worth taking?

in another say is that, will it perform up to that par or not?

Hmm, for me, my current speed is decent enough. Anything requires heavy usage, i ask for Unifi's help.

Note: I am the guy who is ok with the 64kbps speed internet.

u made my day

check my sign
testing using 42mbps modem
my area is just within 3g coverage

one question, the 42 mbps speed is because of the modem or what?

Yup. Now most of the normal modem only support till 7.2mb or less.

Definitely not caused by where I online from..I use Maxis internet tethering on my iPhone and it is 10x faster than what uMobile can give me. Furthermore, even after I bring my lappie outside, I don't receive any faster connection.

Thinking of other alternatives now.

IMO stick with maxis bro.

Just registered for Unifi online and setting up appointment for installation on middle of next month.

Wish me luck with the new speed!

Nice. It always impress me with its speed for the unifi.

yes, is because of the modem
normal free modem is support up to 7.2Mbps only

can i know the speed after FUP?

128Kbps

i thought our malaysia telco have the cap??? meaning that if i use this modem for my maxis sim card, its possible to go higher than 7.2mbps?

that's mean u mobile apply diff cap speed;

1) u broadband plan > MB-Day / MB40 / MB68 / MB128 = 128kbps
2) unlimited mobile internet = 64kbps

it's I'm right?
