RM158 just for 10GB is way too expensive IMHO. I guess DiGi needs to squeeze out subscribers because they need to cover back their 3G infrastructure costs which will soon be obsolete.

When TM launches HSBB and Wimax goes mainstream with over 10mbps, then maybe they'll lower the cost.
*
The pricing issue also may be Digi is not fully own the 3G spectrum license.
Actually it just lease or some agreement with Timedotcom.
Therefore , 3rd party cost also include kua.

U think TM is going to make it any cheaper??? Fat chance... They would have already done that by now...

If Wimax players does not buck up by end of this year, I would expect most of them to go bust next year!!!
*
TM net is big shark. They never make it any cheaper I guess.
If TM really want to benefit all, The might as well build hotspot in residential area.
Therefore, we all pay just RM20 for monthly usage。

Just got the service today, applied from SS2 at 3pm and was activated at around 10pm.

So far so good, downloading from rapidshare.com at about 600kbps. Will update soon with speedtest.

a bit disappoint on digi package.

The compare chart is not 100% houour.

For celcom even quote is 5GB but it fix with RM68 per month.

no as digi, got hidden extra charge capped at RM 138.

If like this, Celcom is still worth it ,because I can use extra 2GB with RM68.

But digi will start charge you after 3GB , the 2GB extra will charge you max at RM138.

totally pricey.

Look like Digi forgot to compare another player Umobile.

If someone happen to be under coverage area , it also a nice choice.

Bro, you blur blur edi loh about the extra charges if you exceed the quota.....

RM58=3GB

additional 10MB=RM0.15

so i have calculated if you continue downloading up to 8GB, you will be charged RM132.....
let's say during that month you have downloaded 18GB worth of data, actual charges will be
First 3GB=RM58
Next 15GB=RM235
Total RM293 but you will pay at the cap price of RM138 only.
After 3GB, your speed is throttled and also need to pay for extra MB.
I also doubt is , the speed slow down is effective after CAPPED or QUOTE Usage ?

Anyway, the internet usage is not only download.
We do send request where is upload.

usually, If 3GB of normal surfing.
May use about 30-35% to upload and 65-70% download.

No, what they mean by RM138 is that when you exceeded 3GB for the discover plan, you will continued to be charged until your bill touches RM138 and then it will stay there.

30GB is  VERY LITTLE.

I easily use about 6GB a day. 5 days habis...and then stuck at 64kbps....yuck!!!

If throttle at 512kbps not so bad...64kbps is like dial-up!!! doh.gif

It true. I play 24 hours 192kbps online radio streaming. few day already use up few GB already.
If someone use it for Bittorent. 1 Weeks already exceed the limit.

i've also recently subscribed.. using the 'discover' package.  dont need much else. still have streamyx at home(been getting progressively bad recently though).

i'm not technical, but i need it as a backup, especially when i need an internet connection urgently (if no hsdpa, at least got edge).  I actually signed up maxis broadband 1 year ago.  the problem is, its totally useless..  i live in subang, and it doesnt work at all.  keeps disconnecting even with hsdpa full bar, i have long periods of totally nothing happening and always disconnecting.  to add salt to the wound, after cancelling almost a year ago, and having to make 2 complaints, 1 by phone, the other in person at maxis centre,  i am still being billed today for a service i no longer subscribe to.  Will never touch maxis ever again.

bearing in mind that the service is still new, and not many users on board.. i am at least enjoying decent speeds now that are consistent, and doesn't disconnect. even in areas with no hsdpa, edge speed is consistent and reliable.

i just did a couple of speed tests.. dunno if these numbers are good or if the test is even a good reflection of performance??

dont flame me pls, i'm just sharing wink.gif
