YTL Yes Wimax just launched POSTPAID UNLIMITED PLAN.

previously they are offering prepaid plan only, and the main drawback is 'use up to that quota only then no more access allowed, unless top-up again... '.

But now they are started offering same postpaid unlimited plan just like 3G postpaid plan - which means pay a fixed monthly fees and you can enjoy unlimited data access. Of course, same as 3G plan, after reaching monthly quota, you would get reduced speeds only.



the link: http://www.yes.my/v3/personal/plans/postpaid.do

their comparison chart against other telcos: click the "compare rate" tab there.


The wimax devices:
============
1) either free or discounted price if bound by contract 12 mths or 24 mths
2) but also allow u just buy it at retail price w/o contract (then this is more flexible than 3g plan lah)
3) their devices are simless, just use with acc log in, so from now may fire up the 2nd hand market to sell unused yes device.

Please share your experience with this latest Yes postpaid plan - this thread just focus on postpaid talks.

FAQ
2. What will happen if I exceed my Monthly Data Quota before the next billing cycle? Will I be charged for additional usage?
......You can still enjoy unlimited data usage without any charges, but the speed will be reduced.

how reduce? 56 kbps? any idea?

Refer here -->http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2194097/+40

So...is 128 kbps, not idea, nothing to shout abt

quite like a 'standard practise' among wireless telcos ... except u-mobile that one offer 64kbps after quote that is really suck lah

So basically the new postpaid plan gives you 0.5 GB more data but no voice plan and SMS? I think the valuepack is more value than the postpaid plan provided you reload it every month.

I have been using YES and just stop it after subscribed to Unifi.
It has great speed but not very good when it comes to coverage.

Also, occasionally despite having 5 bars signal the connection still drops.

can i still play online game & download(p2p) with that speed?
hate lagging

Cialcom SKMM have the frickin' same speed after d damn quota.

where r u @?
do they claimed 2 have full coverage there?

anyone here living in Nilai, Negeri9? how's the signal? anyone willing to do a speedtest at my house?

"anyone willing to do a speedtest at my house"

i assume a lot would volunteer if you put a gal pic here, or quoting a lot gal housemates waiting to view result ... haha


seriously, u can ask nearby yes promoter to drop by - for commission sake, i think some would do so if ur place not far.

2. Will I incur a penalty if I terminate my plan before my contract duration ends?
......
Yes, you will incur a contract early termination fee which is the total amount of your Monthly Commitment Fee for the remaining months of your unfulfilled contract period. For example, you signed up for a Postpaid Super 48 plan with a contract of 12 months and wish to terminate your account in Month 4. Your early termination fee will be RM48.00 X 8 months (unfulfilled contract period) = RM 384.00

i'm at nilai . and it's okay.. not willing

Hi, me nilai resident too... do you use yes broadband for ps3 online gaming? thinking to use it for that purpose... currently using maxis wbb quite good for downloading but not for ps3 online gaming

Work only.. I want the maxis homeline.When ask time. There are no port ?

can choose no-contract postpaid. buy the device.

want to ask if there is anyway i could improve my signal?
only getting 1-2 bar at home which really sucked...

I had reach my quota, now running 155kbps Download 113kbps Upload. dame slow

over quota still can get 155kbps, not bad ar, better than 3g max 128kbps

Hi,
Im not an IT savvy, this Q might be silly to those of u, but i just want to get a clear pic how it work.

How to ensure "consistent" speed up to 20mbps to all plan (as mention in thier website)?

When I look on the 'compare rates'..YES is the best among others in term of speed.
So it very tempting to get it.
The only thing is price for device......very expensive woo..

what is the latency like?

i m planning to play diablo 3 not sure the latency

This is the so called "unlimited" that all telco ISP using... unlimited = service continue with speed down to 128Kbps~155Kbps ( snail lo )

in due time there will be no 'unlimited' connection even that just mere turtle speed since telco losing so much on conventional call/sms revenue as users tend to switching to data-based communciation software in their smartphone. if the time really come faster enough that forcing telco charge per KB after quota, all telco would do so, won't be just 1, judging from the smartphone penetration rate, won't be too long then ...

i concur, even in us, telco like at&t and verizon are reverting back to quota basis. But not so greedy like one telco like to do so until you got the famous bill shock

if compare to unifi's throttle down speed?

unifi' quota is postponed until further notice. No one aside from TM itself know about after quota' capped speed. we can just speculate what they gonna do so.

IMHO, they will introduce the cap after they got the critical mass to breakeven from the investment of laying the network.

Unifi yet to implement this FUP or throttle down speed.

I want to subsribe postpaid Yes, but the whole Yes like dunno wtf im talking

I said i want to set zoom as a modem, and I use my own fortigate router like what we always did on streamyx line, so that we can share 4-5 people which does not have wifi

So Network Switch - >Fortigate(router+firewall) -> Zoom is possible..
I just want to share Zoom for those without wifi on their pc

It"s very hard to said as right now they still don't have the list that zoom can support which series of router.

Zoom would work on any router with RJ port. I just got my few days back.

is there any way to get a tester dongle for me to test around my activity area so that i can decide to get Yes 4G or Maxis BB

Thanks, that is what i would like to hear.

Why is 155kbps slow? Cause mine is about 120kbps download speed.
and 1mphs streamyx. Can Yes play online without lagging after throttle?

anyone using yes dongle with active account is welcome come forward to test with my hame A1 stock version to see if that really works with A1 hybrid router.

just need one to test. if works, willing to sell A1 lower price to volunteer as appreciation.

i tested my A1 version supporting Yes dongle in terms of hardware compatibility, but no way to do further setup testing without active account ...

anyone else using yes 4g postpaid?

me? lol

What's the speed that u get?

13mbps

For me i better take 3G broadband because its coverage.
