i think ur statement is bias. when Celcom came out 1.5 years back, it was FASTTTTTTTTTTT. now like turtle, too many users. depends on area too. Some place where there are not many user, the speed is wayyyyy much better,stable etc.

try u Mobile elsewhere, or try in Sandakan, can u get mobile broadband? NO

MakNok
how's the speed now in Setapak?

Don't jinx it lah...hehe   

Good thing that they are actually limiting sign up - I imagine until they upgrade their bandwidth / backhaul - otherwise we'll have another Celcom / Maxis overselling their services without being able to deliver while still collecting money from users...

how to set auto reconnect using e220 modem?

i'm using u mobile in shah alam. u58 without modem. i hv option gtmax 3.6mbps express card

got activated yesterday, 13oct after registered on 23 august
yeah took damn long time
at first it seems that my number was 'given' to someone else.
then on 30august, i think, went to the dealer where i registered n he said it's their fault so they would try to help me change my number and get activated.
so finally got activated yesterday

verdict?

speed very good during day (compared to celcom 98 that i'm also using now). download speed reaches 230KB/s. and stable around 150-170KB/s.
the highest that i got with celcom 98 is 120 KB/s, early in the morning. Rarely, though. normally around 40-50KB/s if i'm lucky

frequent dc. but it's okay for me as long as the speed is good.

speed at night? also good, but not as good as during day. BUT last nite around 10pm it dc-ed and i couldnt reconnect. "connection has failed", my option gmax said.

now? the same thing happened. so i'm using celcom 98 to post this.

well, sometimes celcom also like that (cannot reconnect) so i dunno what's wrong.

planning to cut my celcom 98 if my umobile is better than celcom since i'm a student and paying rm58 a month is a lot more affordable for me than rm98

well, i dont travel that much (except when i go to my hometown. but my home got streamyx) so it doesnt matter if umobile's coverage is only at Klang Valley. i pay 98 for celcom n yet i only use it here at shah alam.

i think i'll stick with u mobile until i graduate. when i'm working maybe i'll consider other isp, depending to where i got posted

bout the connection failure, yep i tried reconnect after around 30min to 1 hour, n it works ^^

i found a way to improve the surfing speed especially when it is slow at night by changing the DNS Server to OpenDNS (must use manual connection)

its much more faster compared to the default DNS

have u try to call them and ask?

thanks for the guide for U mobile dns...

i'll give another shot to connect the net with U mobile this weekend using my overseas e172 modem...if still cannot i need to buy a new one... =_="

just wana say dun subscribe to u mobile, always terminate ur connection...tq

i encounter twice, local web can't access while other than m'sia hosted web all ok. i guess its minor problem for 3.5g network as its still consider very early developing stage in m'sia
almost close to 2nd months redy, but umobile haven't send the bill to my billing address  good for foc? 

Rm50k ++?    Rm70k ++??  how come?? oh..that was ur previous u38 plan isn't it? but how come they show such big amount..

<<A user review after 1/2 year usage>>

PLEASE YOU GUYS, DON'T EVEN MENTION ABOUT Kbps; dun lying ... the service is the worse broadband I've tried ... overally worse than dialup (that's the bottom line)!!!

THOSE PPL HERE says they can download movies using UMOBILE, please ... you can't even access  internet probably ... dun mention about downloading!!!

AND one last fact, Umobile ONLY run on HSDPA ... so even with full 3G coverage in places like JB ... you can't use it, I believe same case in Ipoh ... USELESS piece of SHIT ... thinking of throwing it away!!!

I think those ppl who say NICE thing about Umobile here is those reseller, post a lot of scam post .. to cover up those REAL user review.

Don't ever think about applying it, let it die off ...
