i know i can read back, but I'm in the middle of some coding now, maybe i'll read back around tomorrow to get a better idea.

before that I'd like ask a few more specific questions, if you don't mind answering me, cos i think quick read might miss them. How is the reception indoor, say ground floor of a 5-7 floor flat, normally DiGi would have 0 signal at all unless i am near a window or door, maxis as i recall still have, but not sure about internet speed, as my parents doesnt use data.

Other then that, the feedback i heard on uMobile data is that, although the speedtest result might seem high, but only a few popular sites loads as fast, the rest will not be as fast as the speed test result for some reason( most likely bandwidth optimization problem ).

My concern is at least getting stable edge so that i can whatsapp indoor, and as long as my call not like digi, putus putus a bit like that, vomit blood one  doh.gif

Buy a simpack to try see.

Personally I think UM are great with Youtube or whatever video streaming. You get awesome speed test and such but in actual usage like browsing and downloading from Play/Apple Store, I think a bit slower than Maxis. Strange thing is that after 12AM, just like TM, everything speed up and you do get good speed comparable or better than Maxis, depending on your coverage.

This was my experience from about 6-7months back.

If you asked me, I would say sharing tower with UM is what made Maxis somewhat slower these day. Back then, I really hate UM whenever Facebook'ing. Its really slow when you load the pics, sometimes to the tune of Digi speed, and you know whats its like since you are on Digi. Im also considering moving my WORK line to UM RM18 but not quite sure if they have improve on the casual usage speed.

You mean LYN account? I purposely reset my post count...

It is faster than DiGi for sure.
