the internet surfing around my area is only slightly above dial up... cannot do online gaming at all, anyone can?

no you cant

hi all Digi users,

i just got the unlimited access, plus supp. data card.
any advice on the modem for the supp. card? should i get an edge h/p or a modem??

tq. cheers

my advice...
don't go to huawei modem..
got disconnection issue..
u can use phone as modem but don't use for long hours (a whole day)...
i don't think the phone can stand the heat...

i use nokia6630 as modem, using edge to download anime the whole nite, so far no problem, never care about heat, hehe..

aziz225, care to post your speed? im currently using Nokia6630 as well. click on the link below to do the test.

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

fruitie, you bought the ZTE MF622 right?

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

hehheh..kantoi..so hows the modem?care giving a mini review? hehheh

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.

True. The modem is capable of reaching up to 7.2Mbps. But the problem with our cell phone towers are well they just don't have enough bandwidth to meet the demand. This is why they had to cap speeds to 128kbps/64kbps. I hope they do raise their cap to say 20-30GB and cap it to 256kbps and 128kbps. That would be fairer

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.

exactly, i dont think Celcom realizes that the web now is full of media rich content which users would easily reach their cap limit.

Whats the speed you getting from the modem?

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.

it was capped to 64kbps???

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

Thats because too many oldies over there... they can't cope new tech...

they're living in the yesteryears where 48.8kbps is da bomb.

ZTE MF622 would be good choice

normally telco would just supply the minimum requirement
