i guess, once you reach the limit, they throttle you back to 128kbps right (for 3.6mbps)

even with the digi discover, explore and extreme broadband, there is a usage volume of 3gb, 10gb and 20gb respectively.
See here

Unlimited means differently according to them as we see it in laymen term. Speaking of blacklist, aint sure. You may try your luck.

ya ya..... at least, i knw that the limited access...
i sign wth Celcom, but i DONT KNOW they have this policy (saks policy)
suddenly, i got that msg...

wew....

Is that Celcom cari makan hah? cheating....

Unlimited actually only applies in the time you can use the service. As with current broadband connection approach, there are no dial-up procedures to follow. Its an always on connection. Compare this to our traditional dial-up internet, we are charged according to the duration we use for that particular session. Reason being we're using the land-lines infrastructure and TM charges few cents per minute. So even if you not downloading anything, you're still using utilizing the phone lines.

Current broadband always on connection can accommodate an almost unlimited number of users anytime without going through TM's voice land-line systems (therefore skipping the usual charges). We have mobile broadband now that skips TM's entire infrastructure. So this calls for a different approach in billing customers/users. They now either charge a fix rate per month (flat method) or charge according to the number of data transferred (progressive method).

They play this new rules to old internet dial-up users giving them a sense of unlimited in those 'old perspectives'. In the new approach, unlimited has a different meaning... as in NOT SO unlimited anymore since you are charged by the data you transferred. There are more reasons like bandwidth charges, etc but that calls for a different discussion.

ohh my.. hmm, maybe i should hold on to the idea first. I ve still got my edge unlimited and Celcom Prepaid Broadband (boths are running fine) . Anybody in Taman Maluri using Digi BB (helloiinggg...lol)? I agree on weather conditions. Bad weather and especially b4 it rains (when you get those dark and murky clouds - like ASTRO) I ve been like in online games "Hey guys, gtg : Friends like "AIkkk why? : Me - Its going to rain here, bad weather.. LOL.

i think i ve seen this back in other networking posts - Bandwith Capped Post (aint sure here) But, thanks again for the clarifications. Haha, i am sure there must be forumers on other threads defending the my-unlimited-against-yours-unlimited

aremien all wireless telcos got fair usage policy (xcept AMAX Wimax) even streamyx...

-->wif celcom once u reach allocated volume yr speed wil b capped but u stil can use at throttled speed wif no xtra charge...same wif maxis n u mobile (u mobile got FUP but not implemented it yet)

-->wif digi once u reach allocated volume yr speed wil not be capped BUT they charge u 15cents/10MB until yr bill reach RM138(discover n xplore) RM188 (xtreme)...

think again who smarter here...

DiGi after max capped for Discover and Explore at RM138, speed will be throttled

For extreme, after 20GB (max capp at RM188) throttled.....

aremien,

They just tell you the truth but not the whole truth. Throttled at 128kbps : they will say, "hey you still can surf the net.." but of course at lower speed, thus taking longer times.
Now, this just reminds me of something i used to do when i was small. Mom and dad asked me to study while they were out. And i did, studied for like 30minutes, and played like 1.5hours.
And when asked, "did you study?" Now, of course being a good boy, I would say, "yes i did" I did tell them the truth but not the whole truth. hehe.


They still throttle the speed as in their FAQ.

See hereon Q.16 n 17

Q16. What is the usage limit for these broadband packages?

*
A16. - The Discover package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 3GB. Usage beyond 3GB will be charged at 15sen/10MB and will be capped at a maximum of RM138/month.
- The Explore package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 10GB. Usage beyond 10GB will be charged at 5sen/10MB and will be capped at a maximum of RM138/month.
- The Extreme package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 20GB. Usage beyond 20GB will be free although the speed will be throttled to 128kbps.

Q17. And what happens after I’ve reach the maximum capped amount…?

*
A17. My, my You will still be able to access the internet but your broadband connection will be throttled to a lower speed of 128kbps for all 3 packages.

for me la...
thats better if i know about the terms and condition..
if compare with the celcom, if i use it at GPRS connection, its going so damn..
when i use maxis simcard, and make connection GPRS connection, so stable..

thats not bout the money, its about the satisfaction...
i rather pay more for the satisfaction...
speed up to 3.6Mbps huh?
i'm at Kota Kinabalu, HSDPA connection available, there were so hard to speed up to 1.6Mbps....
connection always dropped.....
even, i also use the Maxis Broadband, its just the EDGE connection, but the speed same with Celcom 3G and more stable..
ehe......

wew......

pay more for the stable service, good for me, but why i need to pay about the Unlimited pckge but it hv the another T n C that i dont know?

i'm going back to KL this friday, so if one1 frm u DiGi dealer, can u PM me with ur number..

i just clear up my blacklist with celcom...

Its Time To Change!~

so agree with u...so far dg bb never let me down...speed stable as ever runnin on my idm at 130-140kpbs....
never ever regret jump ship from celcom to dg...
its time to change....

So far so good for me here too as well

But the idle "disconnections" do bug me at times (rarely)

Aremien,

ya, i can relate to that..

Anyway, been with digi for so long (from prepaid to postpaid line)

I want to change.. change to better things.. Time to change!! (Digi broadband) lol..

sorry, if this sounds like a spam.

zwanvedder, shinjite..

may i know from where are you accessing DGBB? Thanks

from meru klang

Thanks zwanvedder,

130-140kbps of edge speed you mean? or 130KB/s

Any coverage at Serdang, near The Mines Wonderland?
Or anyone can suggest the best wireless broadband to used in that area?

130KBps on EDGE? doesn't make any sense...

yeah.. that's why i thought so.. bcoz looking at the coverape map, meru isnt covered..

but, i thought he might be getting it though not shown on the map (trying to do distant comparison between his house to the nearest covered area to that of mine) . 2nd, i may miss his post stating his on edge since all of us are discussing digi broadband. lol.

yepp.. my bad..

posibble to connect to 2 pc or not? using the usb modem

talking about wireless UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA ....YES...

Yes that is possible. You need to make sure both PC is connected together either with WIFI adhoc, point to point LAN, etc. Then connect the USB modem to one of the PC. Then share the wireless broadband connection to the other PC by bridging it via the network that connect both PCs. The main PC will become a gateway and the other slave PC will be able to go online though the main PC.

The downside is, the main PC must be operational in order to share the wireless broadband connection unlike a dedicated router which does not involve a PC.

Mine would be at klang areas as well as PJ areas
