I was using Nokia 6630 for my Celcom earlier and yes it is a nice phone. I got quite decent speed on it.

Yes, first person to buy it on LYN, I think.

The modem is good. Small and sleek. Most importantly it is an HSDPA modem that can reach 7.2Mbps but too bad Malaysia yet has such technology to support that speed. Emission of heat, I will say moderate. Of course, after long hours of continual usage, you will still feel the heat, just that it is lesser compared to others.

Too bad, DiGi has yet to come out with their 3G service. Currently their EDGE seems good and stable and they don't have cap for the users. I hope this will be the same when their 3G service is rolled out this year.
Other competitors especially Celcom should really increase the allowed bandwidth, 5GB is just too little. I won't deny that Celcom does provide good speed but it seems the 5GB policy restricts the users from fully utilising the provided facilities.

I'm not using any broadband now, previously I was using it for Celcom D68 that means the maximum speed I can get is 384kbps, I think the best speed I got was 410kbps. I got constant speed using it, above 300kbps before my speed got capped to 64kbps.

Yes, Celcom capped my speed because I used more than 5GB.

Expected to launch this month and go official next month.
Hopefully nothing happens and as usual Klang Valley residents will enjoy it first.

Very nice speed.
Care to test for a few times?

Not yours is it? Later all Penangites get excited.

The second screenshot was tested way back in 2007. But the first one looks like it is having quite decent speed.

Not bad.
DiGi 3G is coming soon. Everyone can get ready, especially Klang Valley residents.

Guys, I might be subscribing to DiGi EDGE because I'm a D' Campus user and I only need to pay RM 30 for one month unlimited usage. I've a few questions here and hoping someone could help to answer them.

I tried slotting in my DiGi SIM card and my area has full coverage of EDGE. So the maximum speed I can get? What about torrent? Can my MSN Messenger be connected using it? How about images or files uploading?

I'm sick of Celcom broadband. Expensive but unreliable. The upload speed is miserably little thus it makes me difficult to post on LYN and upload any images or attachments to my e-mail.

I'm hoping for positive outcome on DiGi EDGE. I don't mind slower speed but at least I know it is stable.

Thanks for reading and waiting for replies.

As long as it doesn't upload halfway and goes to error page.
Sounds logical. so that means the download speed for Celcom is also crazy?
I tried using EDGE to post yesterday and to my surprise, though it is slow but it can be posted easily...

Thanks for the reply.
Is there any way to counter idle timeouts?

1. No contract
2. RM 66.00+RM 10 stamp duty+tax
3. RM 66

For every new registration, regardless any telco needs to pay RM 10 stamp duty and it is only one time payment.

Man, I'm using DiGi EDGE now and I seriously love the stability.

Windows Live Messenger can be easily connected.

Though it is slow but it is smooth.

Gonna finish off my Celcom broadband 5GB quota today.

Last question is DiGi EDGE using shared IP like Celcom?

Well, never mind the speed. As long as it is constantly stays at around there, I'm contented.
So does it using shared IP?

Aww. Sad. But it's OK.

Do you guys often get disconnection on DiGi EDGE? I just got my first disconnection.
So far everything loads pretty fast.

Alright. So far it still shows me positive outcome.

Nah, I'm not. I was on Celcom broadband and it was on shared IP too, I thought I can escape from sharing IP address with others. I'm a torrent user by the way.
