last day to sign up.

boy....
digi website sure is loading very, very slowly at the moment.

have to differentiate the different function of your device; Access Point, Router, Modem.

that 150/300 Mb/s is the maximum theoretical in+out throughput of the Access Point. in real-life, difficult to achieve similar lab condition.

your Modem constituent, however, have lesser rated throughput. and actual throughput depends on many variables.

extended again to 30th Nov?

i need to sign up another, ... but have to wait for salary next month

yes. making my households exclusively digi when it comes to internet.

not staunch digi supporter.

but since TM refuses to even install a basic phone line ("jiran kamu tu layak dapat, tapi kami tak nak tarik lagi 100m ke rumah kamu, nanti orang kampung curi kabel dari tiang kat tepi jalan yang sibuk."),
celcom being stingy and selective,
I might as well jump ship as digi recently covers my parents' home with 4G.

no worries.
i'm despotic, autocratic leader of my country.

i'll launch an operasi rumpai before the rebellion even started.

LTE Cat(egory) is about version of the LTE. Supposedly CAT6 will be better than CAT5 which itself is better than CAT4. Improvement on theoretical speed and loading, signalling, error rate,

LTE-A(ggregation) is about using multiple MHz channels to create a larger pipeline

digi does not support lte-voice.
so while you can use voice and data simultaneously, signal need to drop to 3G to support voice.

... provided, you use a home' router modem with firmware that supports connecting a phone via RJ11 and supports making voice call. some modem sport RJ11 but firmware does not support.

oi, orang bayar internet ni...

nak tumblr pun fail nih...

I use ~ 150GB after netflix is taken into account.

and you think yours is average?

digi infinite don't have multi-sim sharing data pool.

if you go for infinite100, and use it in a modem AP for sharing, it will draw from 20GB(?) tethering pool.

you are not the first one. been there, done that. no multi-sim with infinite. period.

well, aren't all 4G modems have sim slot to begin with? and isn't it the premise of

if it is that easy to fool the network, hiding the tethering signature, ....

congestion is real.
especially in densely populated areas.

Voice-Over-LTE.

if device does not support VoLTE, then it needs to step down to 3G to make and receive voice call.

if you lock band to 4G - preventing it from stepping down - but device itself does not support VoLTE, ....

I was talking about volte in general while you are hammering about a specific device. the diff is like learning how to fish vs asking for a fish.

volte-capable network AND volte-capable device = capable of making volte calls.

NOT (volte-capable network AND volte-capable device) = MUST step down to make/receive 3G/2G calls.




excuse my intrusion. when you lock band, you prevent the DEVICE from switching. it has nothing to do with modifying what the SIM is already capable of.

the SIM, in my understanding, is about identifying your subscription to the network. itself is not about selecting which network or band it wants to attach itself to - that's the job of device.

summary:

if your device AND network can make/receive 4G's VoLTE calls, then great. locking permanent to 4G - or not - is your option.

BUT, if your device OR network does not support VoLTE, AND, you expect to have voice capability, do not prevent the device from stepping down to 3G/2G.

i see.

volte must use specific LTE band, is it?

if lock 4G band cannot step down.
at the same time, the promised volte suddenly becomes not working.
that sucks.
