Ahem, you need to correct your statement about Celcom's offering, bro.



It's buried under their Fair Usage Policy, the link is next to their Terms and Conditions link when you open the Celcom Broadband link.

LOL....ops.... correction (thanks to wr6969 )
Maxis : limit 3GB
Digi : limit 5GB
Celcom :unlimited but.....no.... wait... it is also 5GB

Jonu.... i think butthead has just given you the solution.... check his previous posting on how to maintain the HSDPA signal and not let it falls back to UTMS/EDGE....

But I personally reckons that the I2G is much better as it is not contracted (which leaves you open to better/cheaper options in the near future) and much more stable in terms of speed and gaming...

err.. your 2nd name is a tongue twister... i wonder how is it pronounced?


haha... talk about small letterings... now it is small lettering and also hidden hyperlinks... die lar our future... we'll get into deep shit just for nothing... we better start clicking on every pixel of any page before applying for anything in the future...


it's okay... it proves that we commoners just fallen into Celcom's trap...

definitely... i think I2GO is better too... from my understanding and reading of others feedbacks... supposedly the old 3G datacards are quite good too... my colleague told me he can BT and reach speeds up to 50KBps... 20-30KBps is about the average with a good torrent...but need to spend RM1200 or is it RM2000 to buy the damn card and need to buy another PCMCIA slot PCI card for my desktop somemore..

Just get the SierraAircard 875 = RM300+ (from LYN.net sales) not sure about the new 875U (maybe around RM600?).
I manage to torrent (good seeded) at +60kBps on average but sticking to WebUI using ftp at +100kBps......i'm not sure if it is true but I followed Prasys idea by connecting to APN : *99***1# .... the latency drops to 150ms from 250ms.... did not bother to compare the TraceRT results.

Hey, 2day i go ask maxis and they not sure my place got 3G coverage or not. They say mb use GPRS or EDGE.
Need opinion how fast they will go?
Compared to 3G please...

when on earth did Digi implement a 5GB limitation on its users?
I'm a digi unlimited user myself downloading averagely about 1.5gb per day for a total pf 40-50gb per month(according to my monthly statements)
using torrentflux of course.........

Care to provide a link to support your facts?

That seems interesting. I've just cancelled my maxis bb 384 package(zte modem). Now searching for a new solution, only to find out that other options are not that good either. I've been reading that Internet2Go package is getting better speed and reliabilty. Only problem is, I can't use Sierra Aircard 875 because I think my laptop dont support them (only support xpress card). Maybe I'll try my luck using Sierra 875U. Any idea how much is the price? Anyway, using Internet2Go with HSDPA, can I still get connected where no 3G coverage is available (When going back to kampung where there'll be only GPRS or EDGE)

Thanks for your help.

Sorry must have confused it with Celcom... you are right, no limitation on BW, only subject to availability of Service in an area.

Yes you can set it to Auto or 2G for GPRS/EDGE connection... should be fine.

Added on January 16, 2008, 3:07 amJust got my antenna : Sierra Aircard 3G/HSDPA 5dB External Antenna from a LYN member.... great deal!!! [Thanks man... ]
Eventhough it is suppose to be 5dB gain.... but with the 12 feet extension sitting at my balcony... i manage to improve the signal from -85dBm to -68dBm!!!! Equivalent to 50% gain in speed.... thus now cruising in 1.6mbps.

ok i updated the patch of my maxis WBB.

but still, the interface is the same

How much u get for the antenna?

wow... out of my range... and furthermore... i am not a mobile user

whr u get the antenna? how much?

I got it for RM150... from some sales posting. It is a personal sale and not by resellers. It will be difficult to bring in thru eBay as there is a chance for it to be confiscated by Custom (w/o SiRim and stuff)... my signal used to be 3~4bars but now it is a constant 5bar (<-70dBm).... I notice a big difference in http/ftp download as it very constant(+/-10kBps) unlike previous, where the speed varies +/-30kBps. Trust me, if you not on 5-bar, you will notice the differences. Now I'm considering doing a self-installation on the new firmware to 7.2mbps as it claims to be very stable in terms of performance (slight improvement) but still watching some forums' comment before executing it.

nice~now i also planning to get 1 for my 875u. can u take some pic for ur anttena?
i cant found the guide for upgrading to 7.2mbps, do u hv it?
thx.

I've downloaded but still doubtful... most ppl claim that it will not re-lock the card but whether you can connect or not is still not confirmed....
The firmware is originally released by Telstra Australia and even Sierra's version is still under beta....
Sierra875 upgrade to 7.2mbps firmware(Please note that this is for 875 w/o U, need to see if it is the same...)

thanks

Hi, I would like to point out that it's your right to suspend your line at your wish for a max of 3 months and resume it once again.

Don't let their consultants tell you otherwise.Insist that you want the suspension, they can't say no, if they tell you that talk to their manager or make some noise/scene.

You need not tell big grandfather stories to them as there's no clause in the agreement which says you cannot.All you need is to tell them that you're going overseas for short period of time or you will not be able to use the service for a month or 2.

2 ways you can do it:

1) Walk in to their centres and do it on the spot.This method you need just to fill in a easy form and sign it.

2)The account holder can also call their cust care line and request to suspend their lines without filling any forms (easier method)

You would only need to provide things like death certs or police report if you want extended suspension periods like half a year.

Trick:
<Suspend Line(Max 3 months)> - <Resume Line for 1 month> - <Suspend Line(Max 3 months)> - <Resume Line for 1 month>...

This chain method allows you to pay only for a few months in a year without penalties for early disconnection.

I have an antenna like that all along in my store room, haha, it was used for my walkie talkie base station! I dug it out and unfortunately the connector is too big for my ZTE. I'll go and find some electronic shop tat can change the head for me tomolo, i'll test and let u guys know of my improvement.

I've jus manage to setup my Intel Mac and somehow the connection when i'm using Mac is much more faster then those in XP or Vista, any idea why? I'm able to connect at constant 40Kb/s using Mac but while using XP or Vista it lingers around 15Kb/s, sometime spiking to 35Kb/s max..

I've successfully installed the new firmware to enable 7.2mbps (Firmware_Upgrade-H2_0_3_1BL-H2_0_7_1BAP.exe) and no issue with connecting thru Maxis. Can't tell the different in terms of performance (not in Malaysia as we can't even past the 3mbps speedbarrier). The Sierra 875 original used to be at download/upload : 3.6mpbs/384kbps but I'm not sure if this software has also upgraded its upload speed... ...
Btw, the seller also provided me the link to enable Voice in SierraAircard 875 (http://www.myceloteh.com/?p=100).... not tested....
[wow.... www.myceloteh.com is very useful for those using datacard/usbE220.... it also includes the whole list of software support (Click Here)]
