But my own scource told me...
it does use Celcom network lo.. and i am piggyback their network as well.. it does have its limited coverage coz never pay for full privilege mah. QUOTE(najibest @ Apr 30 2008, 08:33 PM) actually u mobile does not piggy back on celcom for their broadband service. it's using their own HSDPA network. that's why the service coverage is quite limited u mobile only use celcom for their voice roaming service  |

this is what i gather from many "broadband" forum..
########################################################################## Celcom D68.... normal speed 384kbps ....once u reach 5GB monthly thingy...then cap at 80kbps....until next month. (register and cancel Celcom D68 twice) Thumb Up, Coverage superb in my testing at Setapak and Sentul and my hometown..Sitiawan. Digi Edge... normal speed 256kbps but latency killing my surfing,frequently no activity.. No Cap as far i know. download not stable!!! OK only Coverage superb in my testing at Setapak and Sentul and my hometown..Sitiawan. ########################################################################### Currently,i am testing U-Mobile...... Paying on D58(until end Dec)......my download can achieve up to 2.5Mbps but usually only 1Mbps consistently downloading. Use up my 5GB "fair usuage policy" within two days.....and now been cap at 384kbps.. Coverage is fair as i only get only one to two bar signal on my USB AirCard on Setapak and Sentul. Will be testing at my hometown this coming end of the month. I am happy with U-Mobile even though they cap me at 384kpbs unlike Celcom D68 cap me to 80 kbps.. ############################################################################ |

QUOTE(xpresside @ Jul 17 2008, 11:34 AM) modem switch to UMTS mode? Added on July 18, 2008, 12:22 pmfor me.. my AT&T Sierra Wireless AirCard 875U even though it show 3G signal..i can even download up to 2.5Mbps.. QUOTE(9M-MAS @ Jul 17 2008, 11:57 AM) Yeah, at night especially, the speed will drop from HSDPA to UMTS. Still better than Sialcom though where even UMTS is blaaaardy slow. Added on July 18, 2008, 12:23 pmmine i registered it at U-Mobile at Berjaya Time Square...immediately sim actived on spot.. QUOTE(xpresside @ Jul 17 2008, 04:40 PM) usually takes 3 days after register to get the sim active.. This post has been edited by MakNok: Jul 18 2008, 12:23 PMwhen did u register? |

i wish to point out here.
U38 postpaid only come with two free month data access.. so,the 1st two month....free surfing and downloading lo.. QUOTE(lelynx @ Jul 17 2008, 08:31 PM) Wolf516, - which package that u r actually getting? the normal Postpaid/Prepaid sim pack or the SurfwithU? - if u r on Postpaid/Prepaid, then u can still use it for internet but the Data Rate will be charged - if u r on SurfwithU, any 3g phone or HSPDA modem can be used. No fuss about it - for coverage, forget about what the customer service told u about 'our 3g is divided between celcom and u-mobile'... 100% wrong info - as it's for normal phone call for celcom, not 3g - setapak is covered by Umobile 3g, that's for sure - btw, on your part where u slot the simcard to n95 and it gave error, could be the simcard problem. go to Sunway or BTS to find the staffs there. they will able to help. xpresside, - activation normally will be slow nowadays especially from customer service - of course, there are *ways* to check this if u know how... ;P Added on July 18, 2008, 1:26 pmno need password. just key in APN:my3g dial number:*99# QUOTE(Wolf516 @ Jul 18 2008, 12:45 PM) what about the password?

Are u on D58 data plan??
malam surfing which area?? for malam surfing is quite ok.....stilll like u say....definitely much better than "Sial/SiowCOM" average i think at malam at my place sentul is about 400kbps....good alreadi!! and morning is 2.6Mbps as u said....but will slowly reduce maybe to average 1 Mbps or 1.5 Mbps Good thing,,,they have yet to do cap....  although at time it sometime disconnect by itself but still ok mah. The highest i recorded my download per day is 6.63GB...hehehe Since 15July,i recorded a Total(at this time) 36Gb and still counting.. Now download Korean Drama..."Formidable Rivals" hehee with english sub lagi...  QUOTE(9M-MAS @ Jul 23 2008, 09:37 AM) 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. Added on July 23, 2008, 10:08 amWell, they are on "SialCom" bandwidth mah.. Both U Mobile and SialCom have same fair usage policy 5GB per month.. Somewhere i read that if if u soooo unlucky that they cap u... then it really sial fo SialCOm D68...384kbps to 80kbps ( my own experience) D98..3.6Mbps to 384kbps U Mobile...U58(offer until Dec08)..lator D68 3.6Mbps to 384kbps.. Celcom coverage is much much better but capping killing me.. Since i got coverage at my working place and my house.... Using U Mobile rocks rocks QUOTE(azizul1975 @ Jul 22 2008, 11:29 PM) very unstable connection in the area i'm living ..seksyen 25 shah alam.... at night speed sucks...rarely exceed 200kbps...extremely rare... early morning fast indeed.... This post has been edited by MakNok: Jul 23 2008, 10:08 AMthey can't really give excuse saying many people using at night..if so they should have thought it in the first place, and upgrade the switching networks... beginning to behave like sialkom i think... |

Yup, like u
i am happily finally divorce "SialCom" after trying to patch up our relationship and finally forget it. For me, as long as it stay stable at my office area and tempat tidur saya...ok liao QUOTE(9M-MAS @ Jul 24 2008, 07:50 AM) 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! |
