http://surf.u.com.my/

It's from Umobile, another 3G provider. Just launched.

anyone using this broadband... ?
jus rm78 per month very cheap o

Price is quite attractive. But not recommended coz it is still a new company and very less user. Not worth to take the risk by signing 24 month contract.

Btw, read their FAIR USE POLICY.

Looks ok. The cheapest so far, RM 78, with HSDPA speeds and USB modem provided. The fair usage policy is quite standard la, for wireless service providers. But the painful part is the 24 month contract. And only covers Klang Valley. This package in only their promo though, as it runs till they're out of stock, so the rate thereafter may increase.

Weird, only available to Malaysian citizens.

Quoted frm the FAQ:
Surf with U offers you unlimited usage, however to curb abuse to the service and network congestion, each subscriber is allowed to use up to 5G per month according to bill statement date.

so what if the user reach the 5Gb data usage? access will be automatically blocked?

I was thinking of getting the new Streamyx combo but now thinking of getting a mobile internet. I'm staying with a friend and might be moving here and there often. Since I don't have a confirmed place yet, getting Streamyx doesn't seem to be an option.

This new plan seems to be attractive. I think the 24 contract is just a period and it can be cancalled at any time. Just pay for modem and the final month usage. If stick on the contract, the modem can keep.

Can someone tell me if Maxis lets customers keep the modem if the contract is finished?

No, you need to return it, as Maxis rents out its modem.

This 3G is very location dependable.
And the reception can be a headache if your location not good.

I believe u can keep the modem after contract expired.

Its good for those business ppl, those who are trying to torrent still need tmnet....World is cruel.

if cancel, the modem can be used on other hsdpa broadband provider or not?

Read carefully for those who want to try it out with its 8 days trial period money back.....

"Cannot use more then 8MB data"

1 day 1MB test onli

almost the same like MAXIS.

Still, CELCOM is the BEST. NO CONTRACT! Terminate as you like. No QUESTIONS asked, UNLIMITED bandwidth.

Sorry, U MOBILE sucks.

the contract is only to make u pay for the modem if u plan to cancel it. i believe for celcom, u need to buy that modem anyway.

8MB is too little lah.. Are you sure got such thing? if 800MB is reasonable.

Where did you find out that you can't use more than 8MB? I don't see it .

On the money back condition, it only states that the modem must be returned in good condition within 8 days.

I wonder if Cheras is entirely covered in it's coverage? Because I see that Cheras is in the coverage map....if it is not entirely covered.....in which area of Cheras is covered in it's service(U-Mobile)......

The service looks good to me but i'm still sceptical of it's service.......because this service sounds new to me...and a little expensive though.....RM78/month.....don't know how good it is and how reliable is their service....is it on best effort basis or what.......

I juz asked this due to reasons of wanting a wireless internet service for a college student like me and the rest of the forumers who might be college or Uni students as well...

The website don't have much information on the coverage. I think you have to call them to find out. RM78/month is cheap considering it can go up to 3.6Mbps. Compare to others that are more than RM100/month for similar speed.

Of course, I think their service as usual is best effort basis. There is no guarantee service effort in Malaysia that I know off.

Is there a roadshow? I would like to test the speed myself.
