Already did that in my first post where I complained about the slow 2 to 3 Mbps speed remember. But the position was near the floor level.

Another test I did this morning at 8.15 am



But I tell you this U Mobile is a Jekyll and Hyde nut case. A retest immediately after the first proves it. Potong stim :-

hey this is good speed, mind to tell your location and did u plug the modem straight into the usb of the pc or via hub?

thanks

Don't praise too soon, look at my edited post results

Like I said before , I was getting 2 to 3 Mbps last night at peak hours with modem directly on PC ports which was near the floor.

After that in order to move it higher to a better position, I connected a Hub (powered, but don't know if it mattered or not) and connected the Modem to the Hub.

Mind you this is just to raise the level of the modem to a better position. The performance is not due to the hub, just that my previous position was too near the floor.

But I will test again later at peak hours. I think it will return to 2 to 4 Mbps again.

did the modem came with a usb extension cable, try it out and use a strainer if possible





(borrow from the maxis thread - no nid the router as i dun believe any 3G router will support this modem ZTE MF680 currently)

Digilife , what modem package are you using with your YES connection? What's the cost? Are you getting 19Mbps+ in outdoor area or from home?

Btw, I am staying in Puchong area.

Added on November 19, 2011, 8:45 amThat strainer thing, must it be facing some sort of wall or something?

Also I think U Mobile must be exaggerating the data usage. I only used 2 to 3 hours last night + this morning 1 hr (normal usage and doing speed test) but already reaching the Quota 500MB. I think I better stop or else I won't be able to claim the 7 day money back guarantee.

i am using YES with the Zoom and Go , with YES u can hav mutiple device on one ID

my speed was achieve at my workplace, Seremban, just normal placement, no nid near window or door

now i am at home, the speed is a bit low compared to my workplace

Wow, quite a diff between your Office and home. So I guess UM still acceptable after all. Don't know if want to try other or to stick with UM.

What do you think?

i still believe Um still offer the best value per GB as compared to YES and other telco, PROVIDED your area hav UM3G

pls run some more test with your modem as i am also interested with it, mind if we swap device to test, meaning i lend u my GO and ID and you lend me your modem?

pls PM to discuss further

thanks

My 500MB trial quota is almost reached , remember . Can't use much further for money back Guarantee purposes. Am currently back to using my Digi now.

Haha look at my Digi RM38/- p.m lite packge speed :-

Digi although capped at 1Mbps is still fast and responsive, i used to use the rm100 for 100days prepaid bb b4, the only shortfall is the quota at 100MB/day only good for browsing and not heavy DL

I prefer SMS, and I don't main paying if the fee is reasonable. Got a few friends in Singapore that I sms daily. Anyhow, I tested and it works. New to Um, so just exploring what they offer.




Attached thumbnail(s)

Ok, update at lunchtime :-

Am definitely returning for 7 days Guarantee, At busy hours, UM is as slow as my Digi RM38/- lite. Might as well keep my Digi and save RM30/- p,m.

How do they charge wh the Pen online using PAYU. RM 0.05 per MB.

I notice everytime I online for few second and exit. It will charge 0.05 per entry even though my access only 10kb.

that's the problem

the PAYU charges look cheap

but they charge 05 sens per connection

feel u man. i already returned mine. full refund will take effect within 30 to 45 days

similiar to P1

Umobile is better than digi. me myself using digi too but digi is more consistent I agree but digi speed is stuck at 700-1.1mbps nia. nvr higher d... tho umobile is not consistent but higher time, it gives u good speed but low time, it will probably drop down to dig's norm speed.

I'm keeping the umobile as compared 2 digi... digi is way too slow ler... I don play games or a heavy downloader, so it's sufficient 4 me...

now u r paying rm48 only mar rite with de rm20 rebate?

Don't be fooled, RM48 just for few months only, after that you pay full RM68/-.

I have calculated for 5 mths. If I keep UM I will be paying RM300/- more (Modem + charges) than my current Digi. After the 5th month I will be paying another RM30/- more every month onwards.

Of course my Digi is just the cheap package where night time capped to very low speeds. I will eventually upgrade my Digi, but at the moment UM just not the answer with it's slow speed during peak hours. It's still faster than Digi of course but the rates are almost double the amount I am paying for Digi right now.
