QUOTE(iddbbi @ Feb 4 2012, 07:00 PM) UMG1831. I really shocked with the result. i dun think the speed was achieve with a usb modem, esp UMG1831 cause usb modem wont return a ping of 5ms,That was my first speedtest at my new university builiding for IT faculty. but after that i never go there, because its not my faculty, and quite up to the hill. 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knoe the real info btw, abt UMG1831, i have one and i recommend users who wan this low cost modem (RM199, because its outdated compared to E353) to buy it from a recommended seller like _____( u can PM me if u wan to buy).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 This post has been edited by digilife: Feb 4 2012, 07:58 PM |

QUOTE(masdo @ Feb 4 2012, 07:53 PM) 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? |

I bought my first USB modem, a ZTE MF622 for rm500. This was a Umobile bundled modem with Postpaid Broadband Plan but somehow those Distributors managed to sell it out for rm500 each as UM will bill its customers rm1200 if they decide to terminate the subscription (tied to a 1 year contract). There is another USB modem, Huawei E220, selling rm1200, contractless at that time.
Later i managed to source those modems (ZTE MF622) and opened a thread selling them to users here for rm500 too. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=677760&hl= Among my customers one high profile fler is our Forum Admin, Se7en This post has been edited by digilife: Feb 5 2012, 01:51 PM |

UMG 1831 speedtest on the backdrop of a download
UMG is sufficient on our current network, some sellers are selling them for abt rm150 now, why get a higher priced similiar modem where the network can only support this much? better save your $$ for a Dual Purpose, LTE and HSPA Plus modem. ( my target ) abt E372, i believe its a only tad better than UMG, dun believe me, buy it and compare with my UMG,MF691 or Icon505 |

QUOTE(maxcheam @ Feb 21 2012, 08:22 PM) So sorry, I should have ask you all first. thanks, pls do some test and post the result here once u receive itI've already paid and it's already on the way via registered mail. Actually, I have no confidence with the seller due to just around 100 transactions with good review, I'm supposed the seller is still new in the business. |

QUOTE(maxcheam @ Mar 16 2012, 10:00 PM) finally receive the E367 today after almost a month of waiting. The delay was partly due to the mistakes at their end where they mixed up the package and sent me a E220 instead. You should testHere's what I've tested so far: QoS screenshot [attachmentid=2741028] The model that I got is quad band (WCDMA 2100/1900/900/850MHz) as I can switch between them in MDMA. Performance-wise, no speed boost at my house, Maxis signal coverage here is still crappy. But, it certainly has a better throughput as compared to E1762. Why would I say so? When using E1762 with MR3420, if there are more than 3 PCs using the connection at the same time (streaming, downloading, etc), the modem couldn't handle it properly. But with E367, it can still cope with all the load. For about RM200++, I'd say it's still a good buy if you're not looking into LTE or DC-HSPA+. 1) 5~7am speedtest, raw and with Mr3420 2) use MDMA to test the 900 and 2100 band 3) direct download via IDM and screenshot the speed btw, your QoS is the same as my UMG1831 and Maxis have the cheek to claimed that they are 21Mbps Ready and Enabled Thanks |

From the above, i have this to say.......
UMTS900 only gives you QoS DL of only 2048 , whereas UMTS2100 is 15000 But your speedtest on UMTS900 gives a speedtest of 7.98Mbps, did you mixed up the ST result ? Your UMTS900 signal is really STRONG I also noticed over here that on UMTS2100, when i have a higher DL (5~8Mbps) , the Upload speed will sucks, likewise when the DL is so so, say 2~3Mbps, the Upload tends to peak at 2.80Mbps |

QUOTE(maxcheam @ Mar 17 2012, 11:23 PM) I'm surprised to see the QoS myself when I do the test. This proof that the QoS doesn't mean anything. For me, mobile broadband never have anything consistent. So I won't take the test results for granted. It's only valid at the time you're doing the tests. I was told that Malaysia's LTE bandwidth is 2.6ghz and my target LTE /DC HSDPA/HSPA+ modem runs on LTE 700mhz, so how now, to buy this rm470 modem or just buy E372 (rm450) ? Yup, I noticed the same thing about the UL speed too. At my house in Gelugor area, I didn't get much DL speed (around 1-2Mbps), my UL speed is at least 1Mbps. This is actually good for me as I needed the UL speed for my IPCam and VNC. So, are you getting the LTE modem? I'll wait for your results! QUOTE(fruitie @ Mar 18 2012, 12:29 PM) Well, it is passion. ++You might think it is not worth, others think it's their passion. Just like my photography hobby, with the money I spent on photography, many have told me, "I might as well spend it as down payment for a car or even a house." My answer is simple, "Different people, different passion." For once, i wont argue with you, I shared your thoughts, maybe our brain waves are running the same bandwidth too Passion is the word. I have more than 20#USB modems/MiFi's/YES Routers in my collection and dun hav any intention to sell any one of them too, it just makes me "high" looking at them |
