I'm thinking about getting digi EDGE with the laptop promotion
If you count it, they dont charge you the monthly fee.. Only the laptop and the sim card
The laptop is around 2700+

If only the speed is higher

5 bars i got 313.47040 kbps from http://utilities.globequest.com.ph/

3 bars i got 57.95360 kbps from http://utilities.globequest.com.ph/

is it considering good ?

Folks:
No offence... but, I was wondering why u guys stick with edge when maxis / celcom 3G is already available at the moment? I was an Edge user previously... but the slow speed was killing me . so, I shifted to celcom 3G recently. So, just wondering, how is Digi's edge going to survive in long term? the only thing good about digi is their customer service. But, I guess the end product is much more important, right?

Maxis and Celcom 3G sucked at my place. Surely I choose stability rather than great speed but unacceptable downtime.
No streamyx summore.

Its just my luck(bad one?). EDGE serves me OK rite now. I'm not an online gamer or torrent freak, so its fine with me.

I'm sure theres alot of ppl with my problem, so I guess, that gives EDGE more time to stay alive. For now.

P/S DiGi still fighting for 3G, 3.5G, Wimax etc licence. *fingers crossed*

I have to go for EDGE because no fixed line and 3G available for the area i stay.

i wonder when digi will get 3G license...the service must be superb

i wana ask.... izzit the new Digi HP EPP package good ? anyone have register ?
and i wan ask... what different wif EDGE and GPRS?

my area got 3g coverage...but ..duh..lots of down time and service sometime is out of reach...lol

and digi edge is the best at my area currently =3

because 3G or darn 3.5G is not stable in my area. I could get EDGE constantly at 200-300kbps. Whilst this so called 3g always timed out and maxis not recommend to use their service in high rise building.

you are true about their customer service tho. they giving me free 1 week trial when i ask for it last year.

anyone here connect the EDGE by using the datacard?

do not like to connect it by using the phone
did u try this Unlocked Sierra Aircard 875 voice enabled before?
Good or not ?
How much u got it ? RM550~500?

^ I'm not sure about datacard....but I heard someone uses sony ericsson data card to connect and the connection is not really stable ...

They said best is use phone to connect

I heard using hp as modem might damage the hp coz u need to constantly charge it while surfing etc.
Not too sure lah. I sometimes need to stop and restart my hp when it got hotter.

Plan to buy the datacard but the price is still quite expensive. Maybe wait til it down to RM300 or less.

^ kinda true, you might don't want to overheat your phone by place it 24/7

yeah...datacard kinda expensive...still ._.

he, he, isn't that the best excuse to change hp then? so, make it hot while shopping around for next phone
anyway, just for info, my last phone (nokia) last more than a year even though i am a heavy user (almost online with edge for at least 12 hours per day). (sometimes using cable, sometimes using bluetooth- so, I guess phone nowadays are good enough )

yeah.....the battery becomes very hot now the price of datacard drop a lot ..look at LYN Garage Sales

anyone here using the Sierra Aircard 875 RM550? Good or not?

Lol...I've Nokia 6230i dedicated for data plan only ._.

Best is use cable to connect =3

I'm using Nokia e65.
I have no problem using it actually. But its my understanding, phones are not meant to be a modem. It just concerns me when its very hot.

b4 i changed to celcom 3G, i also used 6230i on digi edge...............its fast but now celcom 3G is much faster

Aiyoh ppl!!! How many times I need to tell u, no need to compare 3G and Edge. No need to say 3G is faster. Even my gramma knows that.
Of course 3G is faster. Haih.

Lets talk about Edge. For the ppl who cant use 3G at their areas.
And for those like me who thinks 3G is unstable. EDITED
