Is it hotspot just 5 devices at one time

Please reply ASAP if i use archer mr200 is it still limit to 5 devices

I want to subscribe this 150 infinite...

That HotSpot Pass is only applicable to i80 I think, a package which is now no longer offered by DiGi

i150 has no tethering limit AFAIK. It's likely congested AF though smile.gif

Aiseh, I bought this model at RM400, that's RM100 more than RM300 :/

It was from a local seller so the mark up is understandable lor.

If you buy with Mimo Antenna considered ok lah. If only the unit RM400 is quite expensive. bruce.gif

Btw I got B310As-852 at RM300.

That RM400 excludes antenna sad.gif

I did bought this antenna eventually. Didn't help much since my location has abysmal 4G signal

Sorry about that. Where's your location bro? The info for abysmal 4G signal is from Digi coverage?
*
Bandar Bukit Jalil, very close to that area under heavy construction. I based the poor signal reception on my phone & Huawei B310.

From "Network Cell Info" Android app, there are 3 DiGi cell towers nearby :
1) in front of AFC & The Treez
2) Jalil Link
3) a really congested one along Lebuhraya Sungai Besi Puchong

I normally get close to the first 2 towers physically to get a decent signal.

Just my luck really for being located at a hidden area which 4G signals can't effectively reach.

This is confusing ....

If my bill is like this, then that means I don't have to pay anything right ?

From what I experienced with Infinite 150 , they already can utilize it but they don't do it all the time or at all locations.

Since you are using Mate 9 which is the same chipset as P10, is there any way to show that your phone is connected to 4G+?
some sort of codes maybe like samsung? and does it show 4G+ signal indicator when connected to 4G+?
*
While this 4G or 4G+ issue is still hot in here, does anybody know of any phone that shows this clearly on their top right corner without the need to type in any code or telnet etc ?

If I do speed test at the same time,
my other digi postpaid can get much higher speed than my 150..
That looks like throttling IMHO. But to be sure, you need to test it on the same device I.e. test postpaid sim first, then swap to your 150 sim, then test again

Reason : different devices provide varying speeds even at the same location especially areas with both LTE & LTE-A

What i do is, do speed test for a while, then play youtube.
Once speed goes down again, i do speed test again and play back the youtube.

I have a different workaround ... I get physically close to a cell tower (walk or drive), then surf from there. The struggle is real

Hello,
All sifu. Need yours opinion. After subscribed to infinite 150. Today I walk in Telecom to terminate my streamyx . the official told me I need to pay penalty RM 300 for terminate the phone line as the line still bond to one year contract. I told the officer I have used this line for more than 4 years and the contract is long overdue. The officer than told me on last year December , I upgraded the line from 1Mbps  speed to 2 Mbps. There is new contact for this speed upgrading. Do you guys think that this is acceptable? I told the officer the upgrading was done through phone . we don’t even see the face of the officer who asked us to upgrade. There is no mentioned on upgrading need to have a year contract.  TM Net is way too much. Termination of TM net is a correct choice to me now.

Penalty RM300 ? I read their T&C recently during the process of checking whereby my building got Unifi (nope, don't have) - the penalty was RM400 (not RM300) if you disconnect Unifi within 2 years

If you can live with 40gb base quota and 50gb youtube, then go for BB70, savenearly 1k a year. rclxms.gif

Are you using a PC or console with this BB70 or is it exclusively on your mobile/tablet ?

Asking because, OSX (i.e. PC) & PS4 sometimes do background downloads on their own for operating system related updates. For PCs with Steam, aiyoo .... often it downloads game updates in GB sizes if I'm not careful. All these downloads easily breach 40 GB/month

Good for you.

That is a far cry from my 3 Mbps offpeak & 500 kbps peak hours speeds in Bandar Bukit Jalil. Before some troll wants to retort, yes there is no Unifi here and no, I didn't exceed 1 TB in the last few months

Did you manage to aim antenna at other towers or locate further base station

Tried the relocate antenna thingy. My B310 can't be made to latch onto a specific cell tower, only bands I.e. 3,7&8 . I can set it to LTE only though, but the speed is still poor. All these done using the Huawei toolbox windows application.

Wish I can get back the proper speed I used to have when I subscribed in the first month ...

Download the app called network cell info, go to Map tab and locate the base station around your house. The GPS location is usually off by a bit, if you have time to drive around and find out the physical location, it will help with your aim. Try to locate  base stations within 2km radius of your house. If it is near lesser populated area it will be less congested. If you have a rooted phone, download Network Signal Guru when you are nearby the base station, helps to tell you what Cell ID is the base station. Each base station has their unique Cell ID. Some base station Cell ID support multiple bands, some base stations only have 1 band.

I found that placing antenna with windows closed can help to filter out the noise outside. If I place the antenna at the balcony, I get connected to shitty base stations. With Yagi antenna attached, the signal is so noisy that I cannot get a lock. If I place it inside,with windows closed but antenna correctly aimed, I get connected to my preferred base station. My antenna is now beside the sofa aimed to the base station in my living room. Luckily for my case, I live high enough that the physical base station is visible from my balcony near a lesser populated area. Does not make for a tidy environment, but I don't get many visitors.

The difference is between connecting to a 1-2 bar , and 4 bar base station.

If you try all this and you still cannot get a good base station, there is another trick. Go inside your house and aim it to the other side. i.e. opposite of your balcony, maybe in the room or your kitchen or wherever. It does not need to be near a window. Because there are so many walls in between you and the Base station, B3 would be a better choice, but no harm checking out B7 as well. Room corners serve as a natural antenna and can help to reflect the signal to your CPE but YMMV. Once you found the sweet spot, place it around your room for optimum signal strength. From what I tried, if my antenna was placed in the room corner near at the room closest to the Apartment entrance, I got 3 bar with 10Mbps ish on B3. The base station was a good 2km away!

Adjusting the antenna placement with the Huawei Toolbox only helps with your antenna orientation by noting the SINR and RSRQ numbers. Usually it does not jump to another base station until you restart the modem.

All my experiments are attempted on the E5786 with the MIMO antenna.

Thanks for that extensive write up. Much appreciated.

Regarding that close-window-to-reduce-signal-noise trick, I found that I get 1 bar extra on the B310 once I close the window on which my antenna is hung close to. As of 6 PM today I managed to get 3 bars for LTE on B8 (900 MHz). It started with a download speed of 10 Mbps tested on fast.com then, but slowed down to 2 Mbps as of now - congestion perhaps ? Dunno really ... but the B310 still shows 3 bars.

Any different btw Modem Huawei B310s-22 with/without 2 5dbi antenna? Any improve on 4G receiption or not? Thanks

Not sure about '5dbi antenna', but I use this antenna and got from 1-2 bar to 3 bar on the B310. Money well spent I say.

Of course, the effectiveness of the antenna depends on how strong the signal is at your area and how you locate said antenna

Don't forget to tell the B310 to use the antenna via the 'Settings' menu on the admin interface which by default is at http://192.168.8.1

questions:

i have B310s-22..the signal on the modem is full 3 over 3bars..but in hi-link apps, it only show 3 over 5bars of signal strength..i wonder if the modem is actually receiving full signal strength or only 3/5 signal strength?.

which one is correct?.
*
Yeah, the B310 signal indicator is pretty confusing.

If the LED on the hardware shows 2 bars then 192.168.8.1 will show 2 bars too. That makes sense.

However, there are times when the hardware LED says 3 bars, but 192.168.8.1 reported 3 or more.

Maybe Huawei forgot to put more LED lights on the hardware or it's a cost cutting measure for a non top of the line product

Which one is correct? No idea smile.gif

I'm happy when I managed to get 3 bars instead of 1 like the past few weeks. Hope it stays that way

Just got the digi infinite to replace my rm140 4mbps streamyx  bruce.gif

Managed to get around 10-20 mbps for kampung area which is not bad la

However I noticed that when one user is downloading the "speed or bandwidth (hentam dont know the right term) management is poor".
For example when Im downloading I can barely open my facebokk (cant even load a single picture) or load other tab.

Any idea how to fix or correct this problem.

Current hardware is Huawei B310S-22

I got that behaviour too prior to 24 August 2017 at my area i.e. Bukit Jalil, for peak hours 7 PM - 1 AM. Speed often dropped below 1 Mbps even and only 1 web related activity can be done at any time biggrin.gif

The above was fixed somewhat after said date above. Likely they did some maintenance to alleviate congestion in my area. It's not as fast as recorded by some lucky folks here, but not infuriatingly slow like it was before. Also can open multiple tabs now without the connection coming to a halt

Wow, 5 bar at 90Mbps ? You have a great location, DiGi-LTE-signal-wise that is. Good for you.

Never thought the B310 can reach that speed IRL (yeah, i know it can reach a max of 150 Mbps)

My B310 must be really underworked then as it only sees a max of 16 Mbps so far - happened between the hours of 1 AM to 7 AM when downloading large Steam games. At least outside those times, the connection is decent now (i.e. 5-10 Mbps) compared to before August last time.

I manage to get speed of 10mbps and above only after 3 days of using it. After that line seems congested. At my home only band 7 seems ok got 2-4mbps.. band 3 manage got 1-2 mbps.. if using modem LTE-A i dont think can get 10mbps
*
You mean to say you got 10mbps & above only for the first 3 days and then it got congested ? Your post is a bit confusing there hmm.gif

If the above is the case, then you should share your location, modem used and times when you experienced congestion. Why ? It might help in improving the service at your area. You already mentioned how the bands behave, so that's a first step thumbsup.gif
