wah lauu ehhh sure gone case at 21st floor!

have u tried Ground/Earth/Land area? <-- how's the speed there?

check the coverage map.

comparing past usage vs now, umobile broadband has really improved.

most telco's broadband suffers at night time (peak hours)

I wonder how good is this XFone HSDPA modem

http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...50&sec=business

I think it's a good bundle program by U Mobile since their broadband packages doesnt come with any modem.

XFone modem + U Mobile Broadband (Prepaid, RM15 preloaded airtime) = RM238

@reoxlee, r u for real?

u seems to 'advertise' this in a lot of forums jsut to show this 'feature'.

why the email? can't u upload it and let the rest share?

it's not TOTALLY RESTRICTED to 5GB lah ..

the FUP says ur speed will be throttled after reaching 5GB. Also, there's no extra charges (pay-as-you-use <PAYU> rate) for continuous usage. just slower only. But reading others' comments, the throttled speed is still better than other services.

hence the meaning of "unlimited"

for other packages, after u reach the limit, u'll be charged PAYU rate, which is expensive.

btw, there's no such thing as FREE without paying for something.

all wireless broadband services have FUPs. none offers truly unlimited data volume at the highest speed.

but....with the exception of Streamyx lah

wahlauehhh ... today only 8th and u've used up the data volume

nvm, still good speed there

second the suggestion to create a v2 thread.

the new U Broadband was launched on 28 oct 2009, so it'd be *appropriate* to have a *new* thread instead

maybe mod can split all posts from 28-oct 2009 to a new v2 thread.

no need to start a new one manually the mod can do it easily --> split from post #2154 onwards (postpaid only) or #2394 (postpaid + prepaid cuz umobile introduced prepaid later).

hahaha true true it's an unlimited package therefore it doesnt *count* how many u've used.

'sides, it only throttle ur speed after certain data volume *without* any extra charge for xcess use, so checking data balance is a bit moot

earlier, there's a user from that area too stating poor performance (http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=649408&view=findpost&p=29722726)

it's at a fringe/bordering coverage. u may be lucky/unlucky getting a good speed.

kena FUP oredi ke?

definitely no major difference.

minute difference may be seen due to better (antenna?) signal reception -> possibly improve performance.

u've just proven a point that better ping does not necessary generates better speed

once a week update would be ok

other should join too

few KMs makes a difference though.

and nearby site at BTS may not fully cover jln jarret, hence the poor performance there.

u sure u see the brochures?

it says *subject to Fair Use Policy at the bottom of the rate plan table.

read my post #2500 the meaning of "unlimited" in umobile's plan

still better than Maxis lah (total termination after u've used up ur data volume)

u're lucky oredi lah ... if 1 month (unthrottled) = 5GB, then 70GB/5GB = 14 months!

so, u basically used up 14mths-worth of data allocation in less than a month!

luckily it's "unlimited" without extra charges.

cap in which aspect?

1) speed? yes, throttled after utilized 5GB (users mentioned this earlier).
2) data volume? no, u still can utilize more, but at throttled speed. (users reported performance is still good)
3) price? no, RM68/mth only. No extra charges past 5GB.

so the term "unlimited" used in this thread = 2 + 3 FUP = 1

all in all, it's Unlimited (FUP)

not sure cuz i only recently subscribed the "new" broadband from umobile
