I thought it's normal for HSDPA to revert to WCDMA, especially during idling? That's how they conserve bandwidth, right?

On paper, it's 5GB per month. Practically not implemented yet AFAIK

You can use your prepaid/postpaid for broadband actually...but it's PAYU, which will eat your credit or shoot your bill up really fast.

I've used all four providers at a lot of places, and personally I think U Mobile is second only to DiGi, with a wide performance gap above Celcom and Maxis.

Just buy their prepaid pack and slot it into your modem

What is the throttled speed?

Hopefully U Mobile will then have the means to rapidly expand its coverage.

I'm an ex-U Mobile user, the only thing that made me left them was the lack of coverage...

384k is still fast enough methinks - definitely better than DiGi's measley 128kbps capped speed!

Yes, I am using DiGi but contemplating switching back to U Mobile. They do enforce that 128k speed cap.

QUestion: UB68 Prepaid, once reach 5GB will it be throttled or simply disconnected?

Actually, only DiGi provides above 200kbps upload speed consistently. Maxis does too, but not everywhere in its HSPA network. I got as fast as 1.07Mbps upload when I was using Maxis Prepaid BB in JB. Other places I got no more than 128kbps.

All of them. I've been getting 300kbps though.

Yes, that's what I meant. 200kilobits per second (kbps). I don't know of any providers in this country that provides 200-300kiloBytes per second (kB/sec)upload speed. It is still faster than Celcom(128kbps), U Mobile (57kbps) and Maxis (128kbps in certain places). I've reached over 1Mbps upload once in JB on Maxis. Where I am now, it's not more than 128kbps.

I agree, DiGi brags on HSPA but the reality provided is something else.

Aware of that, but not avaialble everywhere, yet. Where I am I only have HSDPA.

Notice that U Mobile BB is now aggressively promoting itself via gigantic billboards. Saw two already, one by PLUS highway in Serdang, the other near Jalan Kuching interchange with Jalan Tun Abdul Razak...
