As I understand WiMAX is far easier to upgrade to support more users compared to 3G as far as the basestations are concerned.

WiMAX is new technology, the prices of hardware is bound to go down, just like 3G. Prices will too. I remember the days when DSL setup was charged RM 999 by TM. Remember the days when ADSL modem was RM 400 over?

3G in Malaysia is bad - see where Celcom, Maxis and U Mobile are. The upload speed sucks too. I just hope this one aspect of 3G broadband WiMAX will not follow.

I think Mobile comms company should stick to what they do best - providing voice calls and mini data services (SMS).

And have the cel cos proved themselves to be any more reliable than the other ISPs we have?

Just tried U Mobile for my company at Westport, and extremely satisfied with the speed there. As with my first time applying for U Mobile at Damansara Damai, they keep saying no coverage in Westport (despite having full bar signal!).

I think online payment may take some days to be realised into your account...RHB Bank for example does everything after 5 days since the transaction! At first I thought it was DiGi but when I checked other accounts (ASTRO, TNB etc.), I realise they all are effective after only 5 days despite me choosing for an immediate payment...

DON'T SIGN UP FOR U MOBILE!

Any U Mobile users in Perak? Can anyone verify if the recent service extension to Ipoh covers Batu Gajah as well?

Hmm, on U's web site they do say they have 3G coverage in Seremban and Ipoh.

True - U! owns its 3G network.

Like I said before, you don't want to sign up for U Mobile

Hiyoh...so easy wan la...just make sure you pay RM68 every month without fail...so no need to worry

I receive my bill on monthly basis, though.

and time also....evening to night time...quite bad

2G - U Mobile rides on Siaocom network
3G - U Mobile has its own network

Bring in XPAX. A call to non adjacent area off net is RM 2.60 per minute!

Malam memang slow. Try morning.
