Not for me, I'm at PJ, still can watch Youtube without buffering.

Seems to have recovered this evening....earlier it was so slow akin to dialup, no pages would load. I had to use my U Mobile BB to post that earlier remark!

I think no if your plan is unlimited.
From my experience Sierra is better, but maybe because I never use Huawei before. Unfortunately after 1year++ my sierra was malfunctioned after its firmware have been upgraded.
Maybe I'll try Huawei UMG1831 after this.

I am using a Huawei 21Mbps UMG1831 now with Maxis 3G.

Guess I was wrong about my last night comment, the modem does help if there is no congestion.

My latest speedtest result in the morning.

Do your connection using Huawei UMG1831 have some lagging sometimes?
Although I got nice speed with it compare to my previous CSL U1-TF, sometimes the connection are lagging.
Btw, this is my speedtest this morning:

care to tell how much u paid for the modem and where you got it?

thanks

I found it here : http://www.mudah.my/21Mbps+Huawei+UMG1831+...dem-9231052.htm

Basically I have done all the testing at his shop before buying it.

Added on April 21, 2011, 10:17 amSo far I don't see any lag in the connection, but when the area is congested, the modem tends to
switch to HSPDA - HSPA - HSPA+ frequently.

Comparing to my Huawei E1762 which I can only get maximum speed of 3Mbps at my place
during the morning, this new modem has justified its existence by giving me 5Mbps. Worth it!!

why are you guys using the huawei modem instead of the one given by maxiz?

Modem given by Maxis also Huawei brand.
The only different with the one I am using is it support
the speed up to 21Mbps.

Oh, I see.
Thanks for your clarifications. Can the E1762 modem support the speed up to 7.2mbps?

i bought from the same seller but from lelong site.
i'm using the T-Mobile splash screen, so just indicated 3G with perfect signal, nothing about HSPDA or HSPA.

care to show the screenshot of the Dashboard when it is running at Full Speed as i was to see the signal is given as HSPA or HSPA+. Btw, pls also post your MDMA profile too. If you dun hav the MDMA pls DL it fr here

thanks

From the dashboard it shows HSPA+.
The MDMA profile is the same as the one you posted on umobile discussion. Download QOS is set at 8640kbps and 2048 for upload QOS

hello guys, can the E1762 modem support the speed up to 7.2mbps?

Yes, it should but somehow the profile or setting for HSPA is limiting the top speed. And it depends on location too.

so the UMG1831 did shows the "+" hence, HSPA+, whereas the E1762 only HSPA

Sign is different, speed also different

which dashboard are you using?

Am using Mobile Partner, but i can't find an option to make auto reconnect when disconnected...
Any clue?

Any better dashboard to recommend?
