BAD connection. Tested in Maluri, Bangsar, KLCC Tower 2, Pantai Hill Park and 7 Miles of Old Klang Road. Sloppy speed. Worse than Streamyx and 56K. Don't even bother to benchmark. Another typical failure project of Vincent Tan after Berjaya Travel, MiTV, Berjaya Time Quare, Berjaya Air, Inokom...

QUOTE(swanchew @ Apr 16 2008, 08:17 PM) If I not mistaken, U mobile is under celcom isn't it ? How come Celcom RM98 for 3.6mbps while U mobile is just rm78 in addition getting a modem. No, they're not under Celcom. They're just using Celcom's platform.   Should be stable since Celcom broadband is the best so far; so I've heard, never use Celcom before. |

3G technology is still relatively new but I'm sure it will improve. Unlike true wireless broadband such as TIME Webbit, after a while it is just dying and in fact TIME Webbit has officially stopped it's service, only remaining customers will be able to use it.

You mean broadband via 3G ? If you are talking about 3G then yes I am not saying it will die since handphone will also be able to surf via 3G. However, it just needs more time for the technology to mature in Malaysia. |

Just get the modem yesterday and after 24 hours of testing... Just one word:
Dissappointed Torrent blocked is ok but somemore i can't even buffer a youtube video nicely a 1 minute youtube can't even finish buffer after 1 hour then i tried some http download, just few MB of attachment download the speed is only around 5kBps, yes, that's a 56kbps speed But if you just need a broadband, to surf fancy Flash made website then its fine, although there is a bit delay loading the page well, waiting for weekend, and go to BTS for refund |

Yes, cant entirely blame them. They already stated that the speed is based on area coverage. That's why we get the 8days trial, to test it at our area.
Just hope they speed up the improved version specially with all the hype; hi-tech looking centre in BTS etc. |

100 people subscribed 50 terminated. Saturday there are 20 over people on queue for termination. Consumer getting demanding nowadays and who in the EARTH will pay $ to U Mobile and wait for them to be strong while P1 and Izzi leveraging the rest? Either you are in or you are out when started the game. This is cruel rule in ISP market.
Sloppy speed don't make you be the top 3 3G and content provider. U mobile guys. I know you are looking at this forum. |

QUOTE Korean operator KT Freetel and Japan's NTT DoCoMo have agreed to acquire 33 percent of U Mobile, a new Malaysian 3G mobile operator that is scheduled to launch commercial service in 2008. Upon approval of the Malaysian government, KTF and DoCoMo will invest USD 100 million each, giving each company 16.5 percent of shares with voting rights. KTF and DoCoMo will jointly participate in U Mobile's management and draw on their 3G expertise to enhance U Mobile's competitiveness. The two companies intend in future to promote international roaming services through U Mobile's 3G network for their respective customers traveling in Malaysia Perhaps they improve in future but not so soon. So let's just hope we'll see an improvement soon enough so that there will be more competitions.  This post has been edited by yongkailoon: Apr 19 2008, 04:18 PM |

Very unlikely they will improve. Berjaya Group's business ethics doesn't really bode well these days and the fiasco that they did with mitv not so long ago cemented this perception about u mobile or whatever that comes out from vincent.
As long as the customers are cursing about the quality of your services, you're a dead duck in the industry. Frankly, i'm surprised that mcmc has yet to take action on them on their substandard performance. Only digi seems to be the most watched company that hopefully will change the mobile internet industry with their savvy marketing and consumer friendly pricing in the near future. |

Well yes it is unlikely but still it is difficult to say, who knows they might improve. Take for example Maxis, started off really well with unbelievable performance and now everyone is just cursing and stressing over their Maxis connection. We'll wait for DiGi to see what they can deliver. As long as the customers are cursing about the quality of your services, you're a dead duck in the industry.
