QUOTE(Voxe @ Apr 20 2009, 06:38 AM) Have anyone tried playing online game? I was hoping to convert completely if the latency is good but if its bad, I think I'd take the cheapest package to use for downloads and on the road. I tried and it was fine but I'd still prefer a wired broadband though. If you don't mind a slightly higher latency then by all means you can go for this.

QUOTE(mzms @ Apr 20 2009, 07:56 AM) I wonder when they will have this service in Kuching... DIGI EDGE signal is now very strong and stable where I am at. When they have 3G in my area I think I will switch to Digi from Celcom. If you are a DiGi user now, just plug it in to any 3G phones and manually search for networks available, if DiGi 3G is available then it shouldn't be long before your area is covered.

QUOTE(talrasha @ Apr 21 2009, 08:17 AM)  well here it is as shown by the coverage map. Hmmm, wonder if i am at the receiving end of the reception? Hopefully, if i do sign-up, i ll have a full bar too, full wcdma will do just fine. Oh! you did that? So, do you get that 700kbps speed eventhough you are out of coverage but see the digi (3G) signal? If it is still a full of 384kbps, i can still live with that. Hoho, maybe it is time for me to depart with my so-long-slow-but-loveable edge limited. Whoaho!! The map is just for a reference purpose and it isn't updated every single day in my opinion. I've tested at areas which isn't covered based on the map and I'm still able to get 3mbps.

QUOTE(kelvin88 @ Apr 21 2009, 04:29 PM) dude, no contract la for the BB lines. You're paying the installment of the modems for 12 months only. If you terminate the line, just pay the full amount of the modem and you could happily go off to Celcom or Maxis.  Well I think it is a rip off since if the subscription was done during any promotion period like the launch in One Utama where the modem is only RM25 x 12 months which is RM300 for the full payment, if any downgrade/termination is done then the full payment is RM600. The staffs during the One Utama launch said that if there's any downgrade/termination then the payment required is only RM300. I'm actually quite frustrated with this and this has drop the reputation of DiGi's broadband team (well at least from my point of view).

QUOTE(fruitie @ Apr 23 2009, 12:46 PM) Maybe I am different here. I had slow loading Facebook page on Celcom broadband D98 but have faster loading page on DiGi EDGE.  Well, maybe that time Celcom was having maintenance problem, you know they have endless of maintenance.  Anyway, I'm happy for my DiGi EDGE. Wanna try out DiGi 3G when I'll be in PJ area in June but I cannot only afford the cheapest package but with 3GB FUP. Oh well, maybe I'll just stick with DiGi EDGE since I'm a D' Campus subscriber and I only pay RM 25/month for unlimited DiGi EDGE.  Perhaps you can consider going for the RM108 package since you were on a Celcom D98 plan before.

QUOTE(davidmak @ Apr 24 2009, 07:27 AM) Yeah, its really not bad. A lot of room for us light surfers who are not heavy on downloading. My downloading habits is only once in awhile so 10GB is really a lot for me. Probably those who are always downloading large files (you know who you are  ), the 10GB will be quite limited for them. If no or minimal download is done, I can barely even hit 3GB just by surfing the web.

QUOTE(sugen @ Apr 26 2009, 08:24 PM) So i should sign up for DG 3G broadband RM 58.. While getting EDGE speed as my area does not have DG 3G Not worth to subscribe to DiGi Broadband just to wait for your area to be covered since you will also be abide to the Fair Usage Policy. Just keep your current one for now and enjoy a true unlimited Internet connection.

QUOTE(sugen @ Apr 26 2009, 09:47 PM) Ok.. but June is really around the corner.. So, i have to make up my mind first... Just remember that if you are planning to subscribe it when your area isn't covered, just stick with your DiGi EDGE first as it is better without the Fair Usage Policy.

QUOTE(davidmak @ Apr 26 2009, 11:03 PM) Yeah, Streamyx is still the only choice. In fact, we don't have a choice at all if we want broadband at an affordable price (service quality aside). In reality, there isn't any service which has both affordable price and quality together. From what I see, wireless broadband services are becoming more competitive these days but with the Fair Usage Policy, it is a major setback to most people.

QUOTE(shinjite @ Apr 27 2009, 12:31 PM) Its probably due to the limited number of connections that the modem can support, probably you can try increasing ur TCP/IP open half connections As I've experienced, if I were to do some utorrenting, I will have trouble surfing the net or even logging into MSN Same here if I were to start multiple downloads simultaneously using FlashGet. As long as there are too many connections being made, there will be a 'traffic jam'.

Long time no updates from DiGi Broadband users, I guess there are no complaints. DiGi Broadband's speed has been pretty impressive from my testings but I am not satisfied with the wrong information given by the promoters during their One Utama launch and now it has caused me to have problems downgrading. All I can really say is, promoters should not promise or verify information that they are not sure of.

The promoter during the One Utama launch said that the modem for the Extreme package is on promotion at RM15 x 12 months so it is RM300, (original is RM30 monthly). Both he and she said that I can then choose to downgrade to a lower package and still keep the modem by continuing to pay the promotion price at RM15 x 12 months. What the staffs at DiGi said was that if I were to downgrade, I will have to pay the full amount of RM600 for the modem first before downgrading. I seriously think that this is ridiculous and it really isn't my fault as I went to the One Utama launch for 3 consecutive days and was told the same time by different promoters.

QUOTE(allrightall @ Jun 8 2009, 07:21 PM) bro, i think you guys at the first launch was screwed kao kao by digi  , rm 600 for a modem? its just a piece of plastic, i have seen the E230 at launch, like a plastic toy. For RM300, I think it is okay. My point is that they just provided me with the wrong facts and this is the only thing I dislike with DiGi Broadband. Other than that, I'll give credits to them. In my opinion, their promoters should really be trained and equipped with all the information on the service and they shouldn't make any confirmations if they are not sure.

QUOTE(darkskies @ Jun 8 2009, 08:39 PM) I'm not sure when did u heard that. But if it's recently, then u can kick that promoter's arse. The current promotion is free modem if u subscribe to digi extreme plan. If u are saying u heard this last time, then it couldnt be possible because last time u cannot downgrade your plan. It's only recently they allow downgrading. I was actually interested in the modem only and I was told that only the Extreme plan have it. They told me if I just want the modem, I can register for the Extreme plan first and then the next month either terminate or downgrade and still I just have to pay RM300 for the modem only because promotion is RM15 x 12 instead of RM30 x 12. When I called up DiGi to downgrade my plan, they said I have to first pay RM600 for the modem and this is what I really dislike. The promoters even checked with a few senior staffs over there but not too sure if they are the customer service people and all of them told me I can do this with assurance.

QUOTE(nbee @ Jun 9 2009, 01:50 AM) hi, may i ask isit worth it to get our own modem? how much are they and where to get? In my opinion, getting your own modem will be less of a hassle especially if you are opting to downgrade or terminate. You can find it in our Trade Zone section or handphone and computer shops as they would carry it these days but shops usually won't sell it that cheap. If you're going for the Extreme package from DiGi, you will need to look for a modem that supports HSPA to get the maximum performance out of it as normal HSDPA modem would only give you up to 3.6mbps.

As long as there's 3G signal, everything will be fine. Some areas are not included in their coverage map yet but it is still blazing fast.

QUOTE(Icehart @ Jun 9 2009, 09:51 PM) Hi, Since you are off the coverage area, so how has the speed been?  I think he meant that he is out of the coverage map only but that doesn't mean that his area isn't covered. Perhaps it is still under a beta stage so DiGi did not put it up in their coverage map just yet.

QUOTE(nbee @ Jun 9 2009, 10:45 PM) any1 using digi bb to play online games like wow(international server) or flying spaghetti monster (dota, local server)? how is it? stable? I'm fed up with my tmnut, even it's land line my wow oso super lag oh and 1 more thing, about the hsdpa modem. the 1 free from discover package modem speed is 3.6mbps rite? And the Extreme speed is 2mbps, so does it mean i can still use my modem i got from discover for extreme package? I've tested on MMORPGs and it worked fine for me but on FPS shooter games, maybe it is just me but I prefer a much lower latency like 20-30ms so I wouldn't choose a wireless broadband service for games that requires a low latency.

QUOTE(ks98 @ Jun 10 2009, 08:29 AM) I tried near Queensbay Mall and the signal is considered good (about 2-3/5 bar)... speedtest is also good at ~1Mbps/0.2Mbps... Added on June 10, 2009, 8:31 amBro... Discover plan has only 3GB... don't do too much of speedtest, otherwise you limit will finish very soon  Why not consider explore package? Discover plan is not worth it if you're a medium-heavy user. I think it is more or less the same with the Discover plan after exceeding the monthly usage. Perhaps his usage is inconsistent so it isn't worth investing more every month if it is not guaranteed he will go over the quota every month.
