I'm testing it right now. Havent activated yet. The agent told me need to wait for 3 working days. They also told me that U-mobile is using Celcom's facilities. If its true since Celcom is ok, U-mobile should be ok also rite? Well, lets see.

Just got activated today. Will do the testing.

Called their call center, theres no 8mb maxxed for testing period(8days). Feel free to try torrents and stuff.


Added on March 18, 2008, 10:14 pmOk first day of use, the speed sucks at my place.

Tried speedtest.net and jaring bandwidth, its stucked for quite a long time. Shows that the speed is veryyyy slow.

I'm staying at Pusat Bandar Puchong btw. Maybe its my place. I'll try again tomorrow at Kelana Jaya.

Hmm... I can smell a refund.

Just sent my modem for a refund. Haih, thought can get the 50bucks back on the spot. They told me they will send a cheque in a month.

Oh well.

The speed is getting ridiculous after few days. Constantly get around 56kbps. LMAO, brings back my dialup memories.

If I not mistaken, U mobile is under celcom isn't it ? How come Celcom RM98 for 3.6mbps while U mobile is just rm78 in addition getting a modem.  mad.gif  vmad.gif

No, they're not under Celcom. They're just using Celcom's platform.

Should be stable since Celcom broadband is the best so far; so I've heard, never use Celcom before.

Yes, cant entirely blame them. They already stated that the speed is based on area coverage. That's why we get the 8days trial, to test it at our area.
Just hope they speed up the improved version specially with all the hype; hi-tech looking centre in BTS etc.

When I went for refund, the staff there asked me to wait coz they said they will put another basestation near my place.
I dont want to take the chances. 24month is a very long wait if the problem persists.
