Hi everyone, I newly join i150, I got the sim last week.

I was using Nexus 7 (tablet 2013) to run speed test, so far I can get 10 - 22 Mbps for download, upload > 10 Mbps.

I find 2 problems using this plan. Having said so the DL is fast, but when I download files or download offline video from YouTube, I can't get the said speed. It's normally around 500 - 800 KBps. The other problem is I use Nexus 7 as hotspot, the speed I got from PC is unstable. Sometimes I got around 2 Mbps, sometimes less than 0.5 Mbps.

- I'm not sure if Digi throttles download speed when it detects user is downloading files on mobile devices.
- And for my PC case, is it Digi limiting users from tethering their internet. Or is it just my Nexus not suitable to be hot spot.

Any idea?

Thank you.

i also have the same problem, when downloading it get full speed for few second, after that, it slow to 100-200KB/s

using 4g router here

Some users suffer throttled speed when tethering but many of us have no issue with it, we are still getting full speed when tethering.
You try tethering from other devices if it is the same, if yes please make complaint to Digi.

I was thinking to get one 4G router, like HuaWei E5186s-22A.
But after your post, I hesitated, I'm afraid the result disappoints me if I buy the router..


Are you using 4G router or mobile device as hot spot?

Router. I also have no issue when I tether with my iPad Mini and Huawei and Netgear MiFi.

iOS how to bypass hotspot?
Anyone can share?

I'm not aware that's even possible with Android, so iOS is even more difficult.

I see, thanks for your reply.

I'm from Penang, is there anyone willing to lend me his/her router?

which area of Penang?

there's few ktards from penang, might be better if u mention which area u from

You can try hotspot with your mobile phone and see if the problem still persists.

I'm from Paya Terubong, working at Bayan Lepas, not really nearby any ktards area~

B618S-22d or B618H-22d? I saw at taobao got both type model, do you know what are the differences?

I think both are the same model.

Not bad but make sure it supports B3+B7, I know it supports B3 and B7.
Good alternative for E5186.

Yeah, THAT's the usual backdoor way that people get DiGi i80 !
The most common way.... Usually with success!

Ya, usually success..
Wondering do they get commission or not.. LoL

Wondering that too...
Probably doing their job to maintain DiGi subscribers....

Telemarketers have commission, that's their job to promote plans.

it's so cheap for a CAT6 router, i wonder if it is trustworthy or not
