I tried U Mobile for 6 days at Damansara Damai. Good signal even though they say my area has no coverage. The only provider with HSDPA speed there. I do get speeds up to 2Mbps sometimes.

My only complaints are the 2-year contract, and the fact that every 10-15 minutes the HSDPA will degrade down to 3G during which I cannot surf the Internet (though remain connected to U Mobile network). It will stay so for a few minutes before going back to HSDPA when I can start surfing again.

At RM 78 per month with free modem thrown in, it's a fantastic offer. just that for now I'll stay with Celcom a little bit longer until they are more stable and has wider coverage.

I experienced that too - just keep on connecting, you will be connected eventually. Just turn off that sound though ( I hate it when it goes "tada!" whenever it fails to connect!)

Went to BTS yesterday to re-register. Was told that they ran out of stock and will be launching a new promo come 1st July. No details, hopefully something exciting enough to justify the 2 year contract.

Yeah, new package. No modem, RM58 per month, no contract! Bye Bye Siowcom very soon!~

I am well aware of that fact, Matrix. The only place outside KV where I will be requiring mandatory net access in the foreseeable future is out the country, in which case not even Siowcom has coverage. Heh

Look at this....I don't think even Streamyx can achieve this when 'speedtesting' overseas....

Well I dunno, when I was with Streamyx I rarely get above 500k when testing overseas. Are you on their 4Mbps pipe ( and paying a bomb for it? ) ?

Anyway, tested again today...

Bandar Sri Damansara / Prima Damansara / Damansara Damai

You can get much faster activation by registering at their concept showroom at Berjaya Times Square - I registered around 3pm and 4 hours later I was online. ;-)

Honestly I do not know. But U mobile fits my needs just nice as I do not normally require mobile net access outside the Klang Valley. Add to that also, they are the only HSDPA provider where I am

On mine it shows "MY18"

Connection seems slow the last few days...quite a number of sites stalls while loading...but HTTP file downloads are blazing fast though. Wonder why?

Oh, I download mostly from Rapidshare. Not pr0n, though. I can download up to three files at a time and each would download at at least 50KBytes/sec.

I use RS premium lah bro...

Strongly agree

Yeah, at night especially, the speed will drop from HSDPA to UMTS. Still better than Sialcom though where even UMTS is blaaaardy slow.

Nope. No trial.

Oops, I thought he meant subscription to U Mobile Broadband.

I agree. Lately malam surfing can be a bit bad, but I have to say it's still better than Sial/Siowcom which I was using before.

Surfing in the morning, I can get up to 2.6Mbps.

Yes.

Damansara Damai Sungai Buloh. The only HSDPA provider here. Sialcom's on a very slow 3G here, and half the time I had to use GPRS to stay connected. I do not regret leaving Sialcom.

YES!
