price also increase ...


so whether put the sim in 3g dongle or in phone only or in phone work as modem through usb to pc, the 500MB quota still apply right?

service down couple hours yesterday?

regarding the throttled speed by u-mobile:

bought a prepaid sim pack for the purpose of trying u-mobile personally: 1 day 500MB RM5 subscription to view their speed, stability and throttled speed after reaching quota.

the answer is : 64Kbps after quota (did several speedtest and view dashboard speed), lower than other telcos which got 128kbps. but u-mobile is speedy and stable connection, just don't cross the line ...

around 2.3Mbps, @jln ipoh kl, environment condition: at alley area between 2 block building 3 storey high back-to-back, which i think this is really good effort by u-mobile still can provide this speed at such undesired area, maybe their base station is just near-by, so can achieve that).

just after quota drop down to 64kbps, really turtle...

good thing is their quota volume higher than others @same rate, and now even zero initial entry cost > they free postpaid broadbank simcard to anyone without the need to pay 'activation fees RM100', but for bundle with modem plan, still need to pay that (just exactly buying modem from them, not activation admin fees really).

bring 42Mbps modem to KL berjaya timesquare to test it up, then one would know if that simply umobile marketing or truth.

last time bfore they launched the 42mbps ultra fast plan, their timesquare centre got pc+modem ready there on the spot to test. but now, not seen anymore ...hehehe ... understood lah. any one bought zte mf680 42mbps from u-mobile better go there and test it up.

so 24Mbps is the realistic max speed there ... half the way down than promised speed

anyway, 24Mbps considered top speed lah among other 3G telcos. Anyway, purely fighting for speed is pointless if volume quota is less, luckily u quota is better too. noticing more kl users getting switching to u-mobile from the interaction of 3g antenna dealing previously.

it is good that u-mobile offer additional free 250MB quota for auto renewal... just got mine this month....

it is area dependants, seem ur area not under hot radar of umobile or very few umobile users

yup, buy a prepaid simcard to test umobile already...

very economy and easier way to test compared to test other telco 3g ... (those sign up contract first , 7 days money back guarantee or don't even have 1 are sick....)

i suggest u to turn off roaming feature in ur phone and see if can connect to your local site tower.

although it is not concerned with $$ or speed (if no obvious slow down). it's to do with phone RF radiation when always running in top capacities. (and also save battery for no roaming). but in case u encounter connecting to local umobile yield signal level is even lower than starhub one, then can continue with that roaming bcoz that scenario suggest local tower even further from u...

i did that several months ago, got RM5 free credit on the time receiving FREE new simcard from umobile, what a surprise never expected freebies.

when asked maxis, it is another way, i got to pay RM10 for simcard, let alone free credit.

what's that actually?
