There is no LTE+ for usb modem yet right?
I am so glad that i live in an area which digi has no congested problem.
Going to terminate streamyx next week.

I have a very good speed too, at Ipoh.

Nop. But my taman is the last residence area. 2-3KM inside without any population. Basically the 4 telco also never congested for me. But bad side is unifi never come in too. I don't care now.

Bercham.

When Telco enforced it, peoples will say they should get what they paid, it is truely unlimited or telco abused the FUP term.
So hard to balance it.

Technically, wired or wireless, there have a limited bandwidth for their backbone. For TM policy, they has the right to limit your speed up to 1/4 only. Unless you buy a leased line.
And i don't see any morally wrong or user error here. User pay the money, they spend what they want to do (unless it against the digi policy, and digi stated download in high volume is a wrong doing.)
And it is not user responsibility to control or protect the digi infrastructure, network or traffic, digi is the one who control it (that's why FUP kick in and prioritized the normal user traffic)

You know why fixed line & wireless broadband, but just only wireless was enforced the FUP until now?

The main reason is, the fixed line is fixed the location. The ISP already made the analysis, and control the sales of the plan. When it out of port, then it is the end.

But wireless, ISP cannot analysis the market precisely and force & control the user to use in the certain area only, and finally, Telco over sell the plan. For example, in an area like shopping mall, morning has 50-200k users in & out, but night only 500-1000 users. If you are the ISP, how to you assign the network? Or a resident area, morning has 200 peoples because all out of work, but night time there are 5000 peoples. This is most telco cannot control with.

And the another reason is, the network upgraded a lot but the backbone didn't. 10 years ago maxis can offer unlimited GPRS/EDGE. But today 4G is 1000x faster than it. But the fibre backbone only upgrade 4-5x. This is why many countries start to retrieve unlimited plan after 3.5G era.

High volume downloader definitely is the reason, but probably only 10% of it.

What if the bill date is less than 5 days? I have to pay RM159 for 5 days usage? I definitely will report to MCMC if they fully charged me. The billing date is not my choice.

From my experience, MIFI is not designed for stability, but mobility.
If you want best performance, i will recommend you to buy a 4G usb modem, + MR3040(for outside), and any router support openwrt(for home usage).
But badly, i don't see any LTE-A usb modem yet.

By theory yes but practically not really big improvement.

From my house by aveage, if LTE speed 20-40mbps. LTE-A speed 25-55mbps.

Digi blocked it for infinite plan.
Same for my i150.

No idea.
Either it was a mistake, or Digi want to block certain range of IP, and its video server is too near with the target.

Infinite plan has a lot of blocked IP. Some downloader, P2P, hosting/vpn....

If the video is important to you, then yes.

For myself i won't because it's not important to me.

*You may file a complain to digi, request the fix it or release it.

I guess digi start to collect for the past 2 weeks, those high data usage, analysis their server, and starting to blacklist those illegal or some grey areas such as pirate download, non official video/music streaming like youtube...

I150 doesn't have hotspot pass. It is for I80.
For I150, please refer back to the 1st term. It is a native and permanent free unlimited tethering.

Digi is "optimising" the network. I am seeing more and more IP/server got blocked.

I am ok if digi set throttle or enforce FUP by traffic shaping method, but not block the whole IP/network. If they continue block the IPs, this plan finally will become infinite fb&youtube plan.

Anyway, i am more exciting to see maxis & celcom follow the trends. I don't need a truely unlimited plan, just a high quota plan (100gb+) to replace fixed line. I prefer a quality line more than block this & that plan. So far, i am very satisfy with the digi at my area now, but before the line become congested, i am more worrying how digi "optimise" the line.

VPN is not a good way, if digi is aggressive, they will block it soon or later.

Modem usually will 5-15% better than phone, but it is just a very small different.
If the area is facing low signal, you must use external antenna.
It could increase up to 80% of signal.

This is more like technical error. Nothing related to signal. Only digi can fix it.

External antenna need tune to right direction for maximum performance.
Wrong direction may cause even worse performance. Signal will become inconsistent and speed may terrible.
