QUestion: On the DiGi data page here:- http://www.digi.com.my/data_services/gprs/...prs_coverage.do
Looks like EDGE coverage is somewhat limited. However, according to the DiGi broadband page here:- http://www.digi.com.my/broadband/coverage.html EDGE coverage is very extensive. Which is correct? |

Thanks RMvalues. I might be moving somewhere where the DiGi data map says got only GPRS but the DiGi BB says got EDGE.
BTW, can ayone confirm if DiGi EDGE is sufficient to listen to a 64.1Kbps streaming radio with minimal buffering? |

QUOTE(kelv13 @ May 17 2009, 06:16 PM) Hm... I think should be no problem or maybe you can provide us the link and we try it for u? Hi Kelv, I listen to BBC Radio 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/radio2 Even if it falls down to 32.1Kbps, is good enough for me as long as it's continuous. Thanks!

Guys, I'm confused again. RM values had said earlier when he contacted DiGi CS, they say the DiGi broadband coverage map is correct. Now when I called DiGi CSR myself, he says the DiGi data services page is correct. Look at Batu Gajah:
a) Acccording to DiGi broadband, Batu Gajah has EDGE. In fact, the EDGE coverage is very extensive.  b) But according to DiGi data services page, Batu Gajah only has GPRS. Inf act, EDGE coverage seems rather limited.  Which is correct?  |

I love DiGi! Great quality, customer service, and pricing! I asked about their EDGE coverage confusion and they got back to me within 48 hours! And not with some canned or BS response! Bravo! BTW confirm that their DiGi Broadband coverage map is correct.
QUOTE Comments : This post has been edited by 9M-MAS: Jun 15 2009, 10:52 PMI'm confused. Your data services coverage page shows the town of Batu Gajah has only GPRS coverage: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5575/gprs.gif But your DiGi broadband page says Batu Gajah has the faster EDGE coverage: http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/3457/edge.gif Please advise which is correct because I would like to subscribe to DiGi and use your services in Batu Gajah, but would not like to be confined to GPRS speed. Thanks! Reply : Dear Mr xxxxx, Thank you for your email. Kindly accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. However, I have checked and confirmed that Batu Gajah is under EDGE coverage.Hope this will clear your confusion and thank you for your feedback, this issue has been highlighted to the respective department to rectify the error.

QUOTE(-Teddy- @ Jul 23 2009, 09:10 PM) Is the coverage map here or here more accurate? The Google Maps on the broadband coverage map shows more EDGE coverage than the former coverage map. I had the same conundrum with Batu Gajah area, the CS confirmed for that area it has EDGE.Just want to make sure that my area is covered before subscribing, at Malacca airport. And no, no one is using Digi in my house, so I can't test. Also, how satisfy are you towards Digi EDGE's coverage? |

It is clear who is the winner:
EDGE DiGi Prepaid @ RM 5  Celcom Xpax daily broadband (done on EDGE - 3G keeps deopping to EDGE/GPRS)  Now, one more time I hear anybody says a particular company is the fastest, widest, and greatest... |

QUOTE(soundsyst64 @ Aug 29 2009, 06:24 AM) Where to get EDGE DiGi Prepaid @ RM 5? Is it daily usage or monthly usage? Just use your DiGi prepaid sim, stick it inside your modem. Up until RM5 the usage will be PAYU; once it reaches that it's free for the rest of the day... NB: 1) I've verified with DiGi CSR, it's only for prepaid. Postpaid still PAYU. 2) Usage sucks as IINM it's limited to 100MB a day... This post has been edited by 9M-MAS: Aug 29 2009, 07:19 AM |

QUOTE(terradrive @ Oct 1 2009, 07:29 PM) Anyone here have problems using digi edge past 100MB on the daily unlimited? I saw the TOC that the quota is 100MB and wondered if anyone having problems with it yet, because 100MB quota is too low even for normal surfing. That only applies for their RM5 daily mobile data usage IINMThis post has been edited by 9M-MAS: Oct 1 2009, 09:06 PM |

I'm a DiGI BB user actually - so where there is no 3G, it falls back to EDGE.
You can also sign up for DiGi's data unlimited plan RM66 a month for access to its EDGE network. Much faster than Celcom's or MAxis' EDGE network IMHO. |
