new Digi Edge user here. I was asking bout Digi Wifi but they recommend me to use Edge instead. The CS was at Times Sq. Paid RM100 for registration. They gave me a supplementary sim. Now using Nokia E65 as modem. Looks ok so far. Will update again later.

QUOTE(mumeichan @ May 7 2007, 04:03 PM) There is no such thing as Digi Wifi. Digi just has an agreement with Airzed. So when you subscribe for Digi Edge unlimited, you get Airzed wireless unlimited as well. Go check their website!http://digi.com.my/data_services/gprs/data...ifi_overview.do Yes, u're rite on that Airzed deal. But to correct you, there is such thing as DiGi Wifi!

Already maximized to 921.6 Kbps and using DOWNTHEMALL as download accelerator. Really cool! Can get 35 KB/s for downloads. That depends to my location. Tho its not as fast as 3G and all, its still a decent connection. No complains at all.

QUOTE(MX510 @ Sep 14 2007, 02:07 PM) edge still slow better celcom3g U just dont get it do u? Of course the speed from Maxis and Celcom are better because theyre 3G.Why must u compare the speed? Check wiki for Edge and 3G comparison. Some ppl here prefer Digi because of stability. I've used Maxis 3G before and it sucks big time! Regular timeout, contant disconnection etc. I hear the same with Celcom3G. |

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 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. |

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. |

QUOTE(digilife @ Sep 20 2007, 09:48 PM) 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 This post has been edited by EightPhantomz: Sep 20 2007, 10:05 PM |

QUOTE(GameSky @ Sep 20 2007, 10:33 PM) lol...my friend here keeps saying he keep getting 3g signal, but speed < edge Its unstable. Certain places got faster connection. But still, got DCed once in awhile. lol...ironic I wouldnt recommend it for online games. I played before using Maxis 3G, my God... terrible! Since it's wireless, I've forgiven them all but Digi Edge surprises me. I sometimes forgot that its still connected. |

QUOTE(ivanchin99 @ Sep 21 2007, 04:31 PM) So i can only get 1 Bar of signal in my house, sometimes 2 and occasionally 3 when moving the phone around. But mostly 1 la.. So is this good enough for EDGE? Miri? Its either Streamyx or the new Danawa to use at your place. Not just EDGE, even those 3Gs are not recommended at places in Sarawak at the moment. I just heard that Celcom 3G just started in Miri. So u cant expect too much. |

QUOTE(nuodi @ Nov 6 2007, 06:28 PM) As i recall, all nokia that has 3g will have edge as well. The price of that modem sooo tempting. Not sure if its really better as it claims. But thats not the case for motorola n SE phones which may only have 3g. always go for the ones that supports edge 236-296 kbps. Added on November 6, 2007, 6:46 pmhas anyone tried this type of usb modem? http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2007-11D...ens_Chipset.htm Is the speed any good? Seems more flexible compared to pcmcia modems. How bout u buy them and test? Hehe. |

QUOTE(soul2soul @ Nov 12 2007, 04:35 PM) wah RM 66 for unlimited 3G !!! Haha nice huh?! WoohoO!! This is what we(Digi supporter) get for supporting and believing in Digi. I'm always certain that Digi will get 3G or even 3.5/4G. Its the highest selling and best customer service company in Asia Pacific. I just cant wait. |
