One interesting test I did yesterday that I want to share:

1) Digi 3G Broadband with modem (Huawei E219) <-- my sis' wann

2) U Mobile 3G Broadband with my own modem (Huawei E220) <-- bought from andrewdavid @ Garage Sales

Test Location: KL city. Inside a shopping complex.

This is weird: Don't know but Digi's modem caused a bottleneck (reduced speed). hmm.gif

Another is that my E220 modem is fully firmware updated n unlocked by the seller (andrewdavid). The modem is basically unlocked to 7.2Mbps, which is why i can achieve the highst possible speed for U Mobile (maxed out at 3.6Mbps only).
p/s: Why I didn't test Digi's SIM card? Well, it's based on Discover (RM58/mth) plan which has 700kbps "likely average speed". So, there's no point testing the Digi.

Oh BTW, the Digi *ALWAYS* downgrade to EDGE speed because of poor coverage inside a building. Again, no point testing it.

nice sharing there.
hopefully you are not testing it at KLCC area as the UMobile coverage there is very poor
try the areas *around* the KLCC, you will get better signal thumbup.gif

HI all
Thinking of applying the U Mobile broadband at the end of this week, but I am worried about the coverage and speed of my area (Taman Wawasan, Pusat Bandar Puchong). Anybody living here too? can give some advice?

which type of your house there? terrace or apartment or condo?
no issue for me whom are living at the apartment there (i bet you can guess which one was it) tongue.gif
btw, mine is at the second floor (thus no issue on the height)

Just call the CS and asked about the package, she claimed that UM will launch new package with lower price tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken RM20, which can use the HP as modem also (provided ur HP has HSDPA modem embedded).

As I'm staying at 15th floor of condo, she suggested to wait for tomorrow's new package and get it for trial first. If satisfied then only go for higher package.

Appreciate if anyone is using UM bb and staying at higher floors of condo could provide review.  laugh.gif
Thanks.

get a UMobile simcard, plug it into your H/P and you will know if you can get the 3G signal or not rclxms.gif
