I seriously don't know. Somewhere in Sri Hartamas? (Must have a reason they built the DG Store there.)

PS. I didn't know what's a loupan but I googled.

Right, thanks for that hahaha. Interesting. Also, I heard you don't want your Legacy already?

Just visited the maxis centre in klcc. This is the speed on the demo iPhone.

even the coverage map is updated!

I wonder if DiGi will be like slow 3G but superfast LTE.

Then good news for me! I hope they multiply our LTE quota 10x though, no way 1GB enough haha. Also, I thought gomen already allow all telco to on LTE since 1/1/2013?

whoa... even US don't have this lte speeds

LTE-A needs 20MHz right? Or have to use carrier aggregation without 20MHz? AFAIK, only South Korea has it. (top speed 150Mbps)

I will switch IMMEDIATELY if they offer:

1. True unlimited LTE (Meaning no data quotas, no speed caps)
2. Hotspot or Internet tethering with the above (I don't mind paying a small additional fee)
3. Contract-free plans compatible with iPhones (1-year contracts at the most)

In hindsight, I can see it doesn't take much to make me happy. Telcos should take note.

Hopefully- Celcom has LTE coverage at my university.

True, I'm already blowing through over 10GB on 3G. LTE would need at least 3x that, IMO.

T-Mobile seems to be the only nice carrier- and that's because they said they didn't want to be like a conventional carrier. Their JUMP upgrading policy is the only one that benefits the consumer- AT&T/Verizon's policy only serves to "catch-up" with T-Mobile. Look closely at their T&C and you'll see AT&T's Next and Verizon's Edge programmes will cost the user more money in the long term.

this ^^^^^

a++++ post. +1000.

what T&C was breached? and yeah, correct- they focus on Muslims for their product. But I always assumed they closed down because they couldn't afford to keep running the network (limited subscribers, maybe?)

the good thing is the new iPhones will support the 800 MHz, 1800 MHz AND 2600 GHz LTE bands.

Because 3G takes a longer time to download the data from the Internet. LTE will do the same in at least half the amount of time, if not faster. So an LTE device spends less time on downloading and powering the antenna, thus saving battery life. A 3G device needs to supply power to the antenna for a longer time before a download can finish, thus more battery power needs to be used.

Correct.

Celcom already have LTE, but for postpaid. You need a compatible data plan (at least 1GB) and a new SIM card (if I'm not mistaken).

or you don't have LTE signal where you are.

do you live/work in klang valley?

I disagree on LTE destroying the fibre broadband industry. LTE networks will need extensive backhaul, and huge bandwidth so every user can get fast speeds.

Imagine like this: one highway got many lanes but lower speed limit, and another highway have higher speed limit but only one lane. Fibre optics are those lanes. The one with many lanes will be a better experience, even if the speed limit is lower.

As so, the telcos will need to keep on adding 'lanes', but not a lot and not all the time- since the 'speed limit is higher' and more people can get through faster.

So the fibre/cable internet industry won't be destroyed- instead of the consumers being their primary customer, its the mobile networks that will be the big ones.

NETGEAR Aircard 760s/762s. It's a Mifi priced between RM200 to RM400. I've heard a lot of good things on that one.
