UB68 "unlimited" plan has a FUP in place. That means the following:-

1) No excess charges (hence the term 'unlimited')
2) Throttled speed after reaching 5GB (not sure to what speed)

other plans like UB20/40 has the following:-

1) Excess charges applied after allocated data volume (UB20=300MB, UB30=2GB. Excess charges is RM0.01/KB data volume)
2) No throttled speed after reaching data volume, but u'll be charged at a higher cost of RM0.01/KB.


So let's say u're on UB40 plan and already exceeded 2GB volume. to save continue using it, u either *upgrade* to UB68 or wait until the next bill cycle (2GB volume for 1 bill cycle = 1 month).

The reason why u can upgrade so that u can decide which plan is suitable for you in long run.

agree wif u. it's a little misleading to the uninitiated/newbies.

possibly this is due to how all other telcos are 'marketing' their "unlimited" plan.

seems that no 1 dares to truly/honestly promote THE actual info

to auto-reconnect, use the standard windows dialer.

actually when u create a profile in Mobile Connect, it'll also create the generic dialup profile/dialer.

so, just use that dialer to initiate a connection.

@iceblendedmonkey, try remove the PIN from Mobile Connect.

then try using the standard dialer only.

sorry, i dont have much info to help. i manually reconnect after DCed and i dont download overnight LOL!

last i checked, they haven't done the auto-sms notification for balance/validity period.

but they said it'll be rolled out soon.

actually for all plans, u can check usage via *118# menu. But u would have to plug the sim on the phone to access *118# (this method is called UMB=USSD Menu Browser)

wow that's even nicer!

MDMA's signal bars = Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in dBm, measured between -113dBm and -51dBm.

Mobile Connect's signal bars = network signal.

both signal bars are different.

u're referring to UB68 (sim-only plan?

no contract (minimum use). but there's an advance payment of RM68 (will be used consumed, so no worries here)

http://broadband.u.com.my/plan.html <-- look at the last info after the plans.

yea, but prepaid & postpaid also applicable for phone-use only or SIM-only (laptop use)

umobile's options may loooks identical, but it offers flexible options with one unified broadband plans

prepaid/postpaid difference is just how u subscribe/payment mode.

yeah, utube works better than last time.

as usual, all depends on quality of ur connection & area.

remember that this is wireless communication; there are lots of factors affecting the performance (besides the telcos themselves).

seriously, it's all depends on your locations (where u spend ur time).

for me, i'm always in Klang Valley, therefore umobile is ok for me. I've tried others (including P1), but none offers me a better download speed (based on my areas).

btw, u're getting a new phone. u plan to subscribe mobile internet (broadband on phone)?

if i'm not mistaken, umobile UB68 broadband-only plan will also work on mobile phones (but without access to voice/sms/mms/etc.).

if still not satisfied, then try Digi's plans instead.

once compared, only then u'll know which service works best for you.

yeappp, my also on avg 2mbps. luvly for the price of rm68/mth

id/password: empty
dial number: *99#

wait for next month and u'll get back the unthrottled speed

lol not sure how um throttle the pre and post-U Broadband users

this is wireless broadband.

it has lots of factors that affects performance (speed n signal).

u're getting 2mbps+, should be grateful getting that!

usually fast.

please call their CS to chase for fast activation

personally, a dealer fren told me that for any telco dealers, they bulk-send the registration forms to each telco's registration dept.

they do it by end of the working day (or next morning), therefore depending on the 'traffic' in the telco's reg dept, it's between 1-2 days

as mentioned many times, it is ALWAYS SAFER & FASTER to register at the official telco's service center. Doesn't matter if it's Maxis, Digi, Celcom, or U-Mobile (not sure if other MVNOs like XOX, TuneTalk, etc. have their own service center)
