Looks ok. The cheapest so far, RM 78, with HSDPA speeds and USB modem provided. The fair usage policy is quite standard la, for wireless service providers. But the painful part is the 24 month contract. And only covers Klang Valley. This package in only their promo though, as it runs till they're out of stock, so the rate thereafter may increase.

i think still can cancel within the contract period but just have to pay for the modem cost only which is about RM799! sweat.gif

well as far as i know, there are 3 hsdpa providers right? Maxis, Celcom and this Umobile. Hopefully Umobile can survive long enough give some pressure to those 2 big giants. more competitions = better offer/service.

While the download speed is pretty ok, the upload speed is miserable. I'm staying in Taman Danau Desa and I was informed that my place has a 99.9% coverage. The speed fluctuates from around 100kbps to 500kbps. Sometimes I even obtained 1.1Mbps.

hmmn..the bandwidth still below expectations.

i think for the time being. they are still new and they are desperate for funds for expansion and upgrades, that's why they are having this kind of promotion to attract more customers in order to sustain their early business startup.

all these bb, everything stated on best effort basis, then what's the point saying its 3.6mbps speed. its like trying to strike a jackpot if want to reach a decent speed. my as well say its 56k modem speed and anything extra is a bonus. tell me if its not a marketing con job.
