that depends on how telco facilitate the plan, probably will have dedicated LTE+3G plan and 3G plan only separating. may or may not need to change simcard. device is definitely got to change for LTE support (modem/smartphone/tablet etc).

*noticing samsung galaxy SIII with LTE support appear in market already, right?

so better dont' commit to contract base plan now if planning to use LTE earlier next year.

Finger crossed
Hopefully they go the American way. 3G upgraded to LTE, but at acceptable capped speed after hit quota.

because now what i going to apply is the so-call unlimited maxis broadband RM99.. we paid for the such big amount, but if next year LTE apply. we cant be upgrade to LTE.. haha.. this is the big concern for me now....

updates:

the industry news that DiGi really will proceed with LTE trial @ 1800MHz at last quarter 2012 is pop up again in biz news section. postponed from Q3 to Q4.

Haha I went and subscribe Maxis 1 day pass for Wireless BB with 200mb.

Got HSPA+ signal but after watching 2 Youtube HD movies within 15mins quota finished.

What silly idea Malaysian telcos have.

100mbps LTE with ridiculous quota such as 3GB, 10GB, 20GB?
I think it wouldn't even last for 1 week of use.

With cloud services emerging and future online apps/games, this is a no brainer approach.

You know the Xbox720 and PS4 gaming consoles?
They say without a fast net connection your game console is just a dumb box sitting on top/beside of your TV. You can't play any games or proceed in your games because access and levels will be streamed with demand as you play.

How about movie rentals? OS and application updates?
Online storage and cloud disks?

10GB?
We're talking about games and apps that fit in DL-Blue Ray Discs and beyond.

And the telcos will say: "Mobile broadband are only to be used on the go. I assume you will download large files using wired broadband.."

I work for maxis huawai lte r&d..so far lte only got 4 antenna... Cyberjaya , ss2, ttdi...and..I don't know... Seriously...speed can go upto 100mbps.. 10mb/s throughput download...

Its time to bomb in some question!

Does Maxis's 'antenna' infrastructure is single RAN solution? GSM+EDGE+3G+HSPA++LTE like celcom one???? If Celcom claims that if LTE is launched 2013, LTE can be launched at the other places other than Klang Valley. And, what is the LTE spectrum used for Maxis??

Maxis is going to be Single RAN network but is it full LTE network?
If no mistaken they are running Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB), where data goes for LTE but voice goes for CS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_%28teleco...%29#Voice_calls

Also wondering if celcom/umobile/DiGi also doing the same thing for their network?

afaik first generation LTE is data only. Voice will fall back to GSM or 3G network.

maxis also supplied by huawei lte? then single RAN.

Stick to prepaid plan till next year.
But speed up to 100mbps++ is very promising, but after capped, down to 56kbps, you don't say??

i think digi deal with zte..

the risk of single RAN is once it is off service, all networks depends on it not available in that area at all, right?

i still remember last time celcom reported how many million money per year it loss to equipment thief (steal and sell to scrap metal dealer?)

What happen if there is an incoming call when surfing??

They should increase the security of the towers...

mayb they don capped but charge extra leh like gv u shock bill?

with the expected iphone5 launch which come with LTE, i guess it will speed up LTE implementation or perhaps make msia launch slighly early at yr end?
