cheapest modem??
should i buy the modem from digi??

Yeah ,ilovelyn has just asked the question i curious about

Is that recommended to buy from lyn garage sales or straight walk in to digi center ...So it would be like RM200 right ?

I'm not sure if DiGi sells the modem as a standalone product, probably you need to sign up with a package beforehand?
You can get cheaper ones from Garage Sales.

i got a few question that want to ask about is

1) Will It able to run in USB Broadband Modem??

2) Will it able to support the PPSTREAM in my laptop??

3) My area (KUCHING, SARAWAK) just support EDGE only... No 3G... So how fast are the EDGE??(how many kb it will be able to run if i download file using "XUNLEI" "讯雷" Application)


Why malaysia internet speed is so damn slow .....

1) Yes, provided the modem is unlocked to all telco.

2) Yes, but will keep buffering on EDGE.

3) 220kbps maximum. 8 bits = 1 Byte... Around 20kB/s.


p/s: Recently PPS doesn't work on my DiGi 3G anymore. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of PPS.

@fruitie ,do u know which hp can support 3g can it is reasonable price ?budget like RM300-400

Oic... thank you for your reply...

Sony Ericsson has a lot of models that support 3G BUT most of them don't support EDGE too... So you gotta check properly.

On another hand, I'm really happy with my modem. Been using it for nearly two years and still going strong.

what modem u using?? what brand??
price u bought??

I'm using ZTE brand, model MF 622. Emits heat very well, sleek looking.
I bought that time when HSDPA modems are still not that popular, RM 699.

Recent price is RM200 something right ？RM699 a lil bit expensive

That was the price then, I have been using wireless broadband for about two years already.

can i insert the digi campus simcard which has data into huawei 3g modem?? and online in lappie?? noobie here

Yes, can. I'm using it now but you have to ensure your modem is unlocked to all telcos, which is most likely it is.

may i know what the difference between hsdpa and hsupa??
if use Dcampus should i buy hsdpa modem or hsupa??

HSDPA = High Speed Downlink Packet Access
HSUPA = High Speed Uplink Packet Access.
Basically, there is no HSUPA modem in the market, the common one will be HSDPA, since Malaysian broadband services focus on high download speed. However, DiGi is the first one that starts with HSPA which means high speed in both download and upload. HSPA = HSDPA+HSUPA
Usually HSPA modems are much more expensive than HSDPA modems. For now, HSDPA is sufficient already. Even DiGi mentions that it introduces HSPA but I can see that the upload speed is still not that high. Probably the expansion hasn't completed yet.
So, my advice is stick to HSDPA modems.

how much is a HSDPA modems? cheapest?

Not sure the cheapest is how much but I think cheapest should be RM 180-200?

thanks fruitie..
i ask because i search got ppl selling hsdpa and also got selling hsupa in garage sale there..

Why would someone want to use a HSUPA modem? HSPA would be better anyway haha..... you want to host server?
