this speedtest using a Maxis Multisim on UMG1831?

sure or not cause the PING will not be this low, i too using a UMG1831

UMG1831 need how much?

I just got to know my post was quoted in post #2.

Anyway, I'm still using E1762 and loving it. Can get more than 6Mbps speed.

Happy like ur A+ thread hehe

I would refrain from getting UMG1831 to be honest.
Try to get E352, E372 if you can find/afford those 2 instead.

Ist batch USB 3G 3.6Mbps modem need RM1300++ saw @ LYP 8y-10y ago
Anyone know about this?

At that time, anything 3G is expensive.

E352? not E353?

e353, u need to get the right version.
Not all versions support UMTS900/2100. Some only 2100.
This is denoted by the u-1, u-2, s-1 or s-2 suffix on the modem.
-1 = 1 band
-2 = 2 band
But whether which -2 modem is 900/2100 or 850/2100 or 1900/2100 i have no idea.

The e352 is standard UMTS900/2100 no need to guess.

Thats why i recommend e352

thx for the clarification bro
if you dont write here, i still dont know there is "e352"
but seldom seller sell e352
and 1 more question
why you dont recommend UMG1831?

The UMG1831 I won't recommend because the stable firmware is the original version that came with the dongle.
T mobile released newer firmwares that were not as stable.

As are some people have flashed some other modem's firmware in it to boost speed to 28.8mbps, which is almost irreversible to the original without problems.

So to save the hassle, I won't recommend the UMG1831. I had it for a while and it gave me more headaches than anything.

Alternatively, you can get the E182e which has the same specifications as the UMG1831.

Added on February 3, 2012, 8:31 amIf you want a cheap & good modem you can look for the following:

E173u-2 -> this is UMTS900/2100 I have tested, note the suffix
E1762 -> But this seems to be not available new from maxis anymore, forums and lelong has a lot

These are typically around MYR130-150 new, or RM80-100 used/demo

But the thing with huawei modems in msia is that the budget and the high end price gap is extremely high.

The E352 is supposed to be mid-high range, but it is elusive at the moment.

The E372 is obtainable but at a price point of RM450 with 1 year warranty
And E182 is RM300 with 1 year warranty.

So the gap is quite big, as the E352 and the E182 are same class modems, but you really get what you pay for to be honest.

**Note, I do not sell modems, the prices were quoted to be by a forum seller and I've posted here for the convenience of everyone shopping for a modem.

i dun think the speed was achieve with a usb modem, esp UMG1831 cause usb modem wont return a ping of 5ms,

if you wan ppl to believe you , you have to put up some screen shots together with the dialer, i believe that speedtest was achieve with a Maxis Fibre to Home connection, no hard feelings okay, as i wan users here to knoe the real info

btw, abt UMG1831, i have one and i recommend users who wan this low cost modem (RM199, because its outdated compared to E353) to buy it from a recommended seller like _____( u can PM me if u wan to buy). I bought one from him, that modem is a "virgin" set , meaning when i took delivery of it, it was still wrapped in its plastic wrapper inside the box. Before this, i bought one UMG1831 from another seller , damn it, the connection just get disconnected cause the seller flashed the modem into a FW which is not its ori FW and hence it sucks big time. Then i tested 3 of his UMG and all 3 too sucks.

and MYstombox UMG1831 was a tempered UMG1831, hence it sucks too.

infact a seller in LYN also sell this UMG at a very cheap price but he state very clearly this modem only have a one month warranty,

if you guys check back my postings in the Maxis thread, i have posted very good speedtest result that i have screenshot together with the dailer on the UMG

agreed.. the download is possible but the upload speed and ping just to good to be true.

my UMG on MDMA it shows the QoS for Download is 16000kbps , meaning it can achieve 16Mbps without anyproblem if you are in the "right location" but Upload is only 2048kbps, so how can the user claim he can get so high on Upload?

Y no ZTE and Option Icon thread?

To be honest, I don't really buy the idea of having one separate modem brand for one thread.

Probably need to consolidate all in one.

1st I use Celcom..

This couldn't be true..impossible...
