well, WebeM was never meant for non mobile use.

People always forget that when you are transacting data, there are always more contributing factors to the "speed" of the network. We always blame our providers as they are here and near.

No one even consider the condition of the host server, traffic "speed" of the various hops that the data going through before it even land in Malaysia's gateway and then travel through our provider network before ending on our devices. I believe, the data that travels through various network were charge by respective network provider, and it was not cheap.

Imagine how much Webe (or TM) have to pay to, let say Verizon or NTT or BT or SingTel, to have the data transferred through their network so that the traffic will have the least hops and arrive faster to Malaysia. It will be costly to transfer data from foreign server than the server in Malaysia. Thats why Malaysia have tried (not sure how much effort) to have those service to host in Malaysia so the cost could be lessen. If Google could host their services (Youtube, Gmail etc.) in Malaysia, we'll be having smallest ping and whooping speed irregardless of whatever provider we use. Same goes to the gaming services that we played online.

Our provider can only manage the "speed" in their network only. They can boost, prioritize and separate it into dedicated channel to improve specific service. They can't do that for every incoming traffic. Network congestion are very delicate to handle. But at some point, the infrastructure will be overwhelm (in Webe case, using the mobile data for non mobile things) and they can only mitigate it up to some point where infrastructure had to be upgrade.

When they enter this phase, you can't expect the provider to magically resolve the congestion in a blink (or a day or a week or a month). They need to prepare expansion proposal, get the approval, procure the infra, deliver the infra, install the infra, test the infra then they may commission it to public. All this infrastructure expansion and upgrades cost time and money, A LOT OF MONEY.

So, be considerate when you complaint. It can be the provider fault, it can be the hosting service fault, it can be intermediary network provider fault that you have "slow" stream of movies or bad ping playing WoW etc.

Sorry for your time,
Just an IT guy.

Price of internet is one of the criteria, but incentive from government it the main attraction. Tax exemption, tax rebate, government policy, law are more important to those company to do business in Malaysia.


Yes, we as the consumer should be wise on how we spend our money. We shouldn't be loyal to a brand because of sentimental value only.
As for the provider, we should judge Webe as a new start up. They just deploy their initial network. There are still a lot of kinks to be sort out (TAC for example). I'll talk about TAC later if I have time (its not as easy as A B C.) You wouldn't benchmark Primary school 100m sprinter with Usin Bolt!

Just noticed a new Mobile WiFi add on in Webe app.

Webe can't guarantee any quality outside of its network. If you look at other telco, all their numbers are rated for local network. That is the quality of their network. The quality of outside network depends on many factors such as
1. bandwidth subscribed with Celcom (if 3G data)
2. route it takes (which network it uses to access the target host)
3. quality of the underwater network cable services that they subscribe
4. total bandwidth Webe subscribe to that network (#3) else they need to throttle for FUP
5. if Webe pays for premium network priority from content provider
6. dll. more technicality behind network 'speed'

so, local test host for network speedtest service is as accurate (unless Webe prioritize that specific service to cheat) as it can be.

Well, as of now, all mobile broadband offering in Malaysia are not for permanent usage aka fixed broadband. So, you can't blame mobile plan if it doesn't suit your fixed broadband need.

As I understand, all mobile broadband offering in Malaysia are for light, mobile and on-the-go type of usage.

so, if you treat something that is not meant to be, and expect it to behave differently, you'll get emotionally frustrated, angry and stressed. So, for your own good health, use the tool wisely.

What you mean by chromecast not possible to use with webe?

Do you mean using WebeB on mifi and chromecast connect to it?

Maybe you should look into webemobile biz & webebroadband biz instead of the normal consumer package.
Webe Business

I think celcom have outage this morning. Since webe voice utilize 3G, it affect webe too.

It won't affect them much as majority of the subscribers are not tech savvy as lowyat forumner. Those who had to obtain surat akuan sumpah are just minority.

It is up to Apple to optimize their software and antenna to Webe.
*Well, it also doesn't hurt if Webe insist Apple to do it quick"

It's always up to Apple. Apple have to enable and optimize their iPhone for Maxis, Celcom etc.

Why go to illegal way of things when you have free legal way of movie streaming?
Unless your other way is legal too?

Have you check if your phone support Band 5 and 40?
Webe's LTE runs on these band. Tethering only enabled on these bands.

Is webe network compatible with Spotify? Yes.
Is webe network have free data for Spotify? No.
Why no? Digi and Umobile have?
Because webe doesn't have cap on data uasge.

its for Mobile Tethering. Of course it can be used to tether pc or laptop from mobile device.
the restriction is that you can only use it when you are in 4G network with quota of 10 GB.
