will be joining U Mobile soon in IT system support...
i try to 8-1-8 on the speed problem...
hv read through most of ur comments here and it seems like it's worse than my Maxis 3G at Pusat Bdr Puchong (notes: no TM line here...)
bear with me n i will try to get some *inside news* on this... hehehe

*ahem*... let me enlighten you all about this... (u can get the details from www.u.com.my)
UM is not using Celcom 3G as UM have their own 3G coverage. But now limited to certain areas withing Klang Valley...
That's why UM broadband was offered for Klang Valley dwellers as of now
As for normal phone calling, if you are calling from somewhere outside the UM 3G coverage, then the Celcom coverage will kicks in...

5gb is still a lot better than 3gb by Maxis 3G, right?
and i was paying a cool rm100++ for lousy Maxis 3G at my place (pst bdr puchong)...

so, any of u will switch to UM?
3g is getting less subscriptions as of today if we compare it with prepaid/postpaid...
Signal around KL town will be the best - as u will often get > 1K kb/s
Too bad i can only get 500-600 kb/s at my home - Puchong...

something like this... http://www.moresales.com.my/catalog/entry/zjqatcxw.shtml
5g is for 'fair usage'... as M'sia government will not allow any ISP to provide unlimited download cap for normal public usage...

btw, where did u guys get this 1-2mb connection?
can share with me the location?

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

dial number = *99#
access point = my3g
username = <blank>
password = <blank>

and if u r using Nokia PC Suite, u don't need to put it the *99#

If still can't get connected, better send back your SIM Card to be tested by U Staffs

just ignore those comments which u don't feel it right...
ppl can be saying anything (without understanding the situation)...
take proton for example, lots of ppl are complaining about it but how many of us are still using it here? i bet it will be a lot, right?
moral of the story, just try the service by urself and u be the judge...
if u like it, then go ahead... if u don't, then terminate it...
what's the fuss here?

Added on November 17, 2008, 11:32 pmfor those whom are staying near puchong area, the coverage is quite decent here... can sometimes get 100-200KB/s...
anyhow, the best coverage is *always* will be near the KL town areas...

Thanks for the tips on re-dialing...

yup... BT is damn slow with UM...
And Rapidshare and MegaUpload is a no-no since it's a shared-IP...

Other that,
normal http download, youtube, badongo is superb...

i doubt it...

how much u pay for the rapidshare premium?
i was thinking to get one but wondering if it's worth it or not...

btw, any good Search Engine for rapidshare that u guys can recommend?

Connectivity for today (14 Dec) is not good at all...
