I have been using DIGI’s earlier version of broadband which uses the EDGE technology for 2 years now. It served its purpose in the beginning as I am not a heavy user. However, over the last few months, I find that it is practically useless as it keeps going offline. As it was a 2 year contract, I have to continue paying the monthly fee even though I hardly get to use it now. Nowadays, I have had to resort to looking for WIFI enabled places to do most of my web surfing.
As the contract is nearing its end, I have been looking for an alternative. Looking at P1 W1MAX’s latest promotion where we get a 1 month trial period certainly looks enticing. But then, DIGI has also rolled out its new broadband which is supposed to be much faster than those offered by the other networks. It is contract-free and considering DIGI’s option offer more mobility, it is definitely a contender. Although P1 W1MAX’s answer to mobility is the WIGGY, even their reseller tells me that it is not reliable at the moment. Looking at their coverage map, both DIGI and P1 have good coverage in my area.
I have recently found out DIGI has set up kiosks where we are able to test out their broadband. While I have not tried it, it must mean they are quite confident of their performance. However, will DIGI be giving me the same problem 2 years down the road when they get more subscribers ? One P1 W1MAX reseller was telling me as DIGI’s system has to cope with voice calls, sms and the likes in addition to data traffic, their system is liable to being clogged as compared to P1 WIMAX which is solely for data traffic. Is this true or are they just pulling wool over my eyes ? Incidentally, one P1 W1MAX reseller told me there is plan to provide voice call service through their modem in the future too.
Based on my limited knowledge, I would say DIGI is a better bet. Anyone thinks differently ?
My opinion is always side to Digi as there is no contract and you can terminate it at anytime. Besides, in terms of mobility, Digi is definitely better than P1. Also, we can use Digi modem for other ISP, e.g Celcom, Maxis but P1 modem is only usable with P1.As the contract is nearing its end, I have been looking for an alternative.

I don't like P1 also is because of the high start-up fee, e.g activation fee, registration fee, higher modem cost and the worst is the contract.
Note: Digi is contractless only if you buy your own modem. Otherwise, there is penalty if you terminate your account in less than 1 year.
