28. Is there a way that I can check how much data I have consumed?

Yes. You can send <Data> to 28118. This will show you the exact amount of data that has been consumed.

[Note: sms is chargeable to send]

walao eh... like that also wanna charge ah

and i think cannot even use the sms freebie for this one (need to check)

I kena charge rm0.50 for checking my data usage.

lmao... dafuq haha

you mean 0.05 izzit?

p/s: I got charged for that amount

Well, if you are using Android latest OS Jelly bean, inside build in with the data usage chart with the cycle time.

Unmetered , thats the right term

once you have reached your quota , you would be throttled

64Kbps is a joke

Google search takes forever , simple facebook also takes forever , twitter loads alright (except when you try to load twtitpic) , instagram takes forever to upload your photo ,whatsapp is smooth , push notifications (i.e e-mails , etc) would be super slow

In other words after you reach your quota , your Internet speed would be a complete joke

That's really bad... even Digi doesn't crawl that slow... Just wondering why they are throttling hard on this...

i can't download the phone bill from umobile site. anyone has this problem?

Simple

Imagine a 2 way highway (left is for slow and right is for fast). So when you drive your car you'll be on the fast lane (enjoying high-speeds cause it is not hogged). Moment you have covered your distance (say 50KM aka 1GB of quota) , you will be put into the slow lane , so that you don't hog up the fast lane and give other people . To get back to the fast lane you'll have to pay up

You can continue to travel for how long you want (unlimited distance/unlimited quota) , but you can only travel at 10km/h max or 64Kbps).


So imagine you want to travel to JB , after 50km , your speed will be throttled and imagine driving at 10km/h to JB - it would take "Forever to reach"

But then the fast lane is always there for those who pay extra.....Want faster speeds , cough up and pay or enjoy your slow driving


Hope this gives you an idea

Yup, I got the idea.. Thanks!

But then again, just wondering why the "hard-throttling"? I mean, I can't recall Digi throttling this hard when you reach your bandwidth cap.

Gotta ask them , probably for marketing reasons

People would say :-

OMG Telco M sucks , sucks my money. a bit use already charge RM 300

OMG Telco C sucks , internet slower. Even my dial-up is fasttteerr

OMG Telco D sucks , no coverage..always edge...u think this is 1999 ?

When people try u-mobile , they go wah cheap price and wah internet fast and wah unlimited....For telco , it is to ensure quality of service


For people , they see cheap and unlimited , so they just go for it

True to that. Every telco has their own pros and cons. If you hop on one bandwagon, be prepared for what you may face; whether good or bad.

Let's see how I would experience this, since this is my third telcom change.

Do you think there is another Alternative in Boleland ?

I mean fast and cheap and UNLIMITED ?
