Shah Alam should be okay but in Alor Setar, i believe you have to make do with GPRS/Edge as UM3G is not there but later by Q3, i believe the tieup with Maxis would have been in use already.
hi,digilife.
I've been trying out on UM's coverage 1st before porting to UM.
So far (more than half a month) its performance is ok.
On 1 good day, I got 3G connection which was sooo fast (once or twice).
I'm staying in the center of PJ, consider it as a big city. but the connection has been "unpredictable",about 50% of the time I can't get connected. (wonder y my phone's setting "use packet data" alwy turns off itself when the connection drops)
I get EDGE connection in Alor Setar, & along the highways back to PJ,which is good

, so, sometimes, I'd think: how come the connection is better in small town than PJ (not even EDGE connection)

. But then, in Alor Setar, when it get disconnected itself, I need to go "settings" to turn off my data & switch it on again to get the Edge connection.
However, just recently, especially the last 2 days, it's improved, mostly HSPDA, quite stable, hopefully it continues
Btw, I'm using androids apps to analyse the coverage & speed, i.e, Sensorly (compare the coverage between different telcos regionally), Open Signal. just sharing
My question is, does the connectivity has anythg to do with my phone's mobile network settings configuration?
I've trying various combination, setting Network operators to 2G, 3G, auto; Network mode from auto to GSM only, to WCDMA; turning on / off data roaming,etc.
some said setting it as Umobile 3G & WCDMA only to get the best of it, is it true?
Thx again
