Hmm.. sounds very very misleading. The 3.6Mbps theoretical speed is actually the maximum capable speed of the E160E USB modem. But the service is capped at 1Mbps. How we know its 1Mbps? Thats because this is the market expectation paying at such a price point. But Digi quote likely average speed which is 700kbps. That was the common understanding discussed and established over here few weeks ago. Discover and Explore users only capable to a maximum download speed of 1Mbps. Extreme users 2Mbps and up.

Unless, Digi has expanded their service to allow Discover/Explore users to 3.6Mbps maximum then its a different story. That will put Digi on the same competitive advantage with Celcom and Maxis. Celcom and Maxis allow their users up to 3.6Mbps also... but that depends on the time of the day and location.

So until Digi representatives here explain.. the 3.6Mbps theoretical speed can mean anything: Maximum speed capable by the USB modem or maximum download speed allowed on the internet plan (meaning no longer capped at 1Mbps).

OR maybe Digi is trying to justify and explain to curious users who ask why is their USB modem showing the connected speed in Windows XP, Vista, etc 3.6Mbps. This is link speed and is similar to connecting to LAN ethernet network where it will report 10/100/1000Mbps but ultimate the speed depends on the downlink from Digi. Basically going back to our internet subscription plan.

So these are the current situation.

Yes, i ditto what is said by Davidmak... we should not confuse ourselves with the theoretical speed... if we got 1Mbps with Discover/Explore, it's kind of bonus already... dun forget that when we subscribe the package, we've been told about this 700kbps LAS (likely average speed)... anything more than 700kbps, it's considered bonus...

To me, i'd rather to have a consistent speed than the up and down (like roller coaster service)...

you all should fill up the interest here.
http://www.digi.com.my/broadband/UserDetailView.do

Mine sign up at road show, 1 hour after back to home can use already.
Promoter photostat my IC, and checked no blacklist. Tell me after 2 hour. Max 24 hrs.

So if your name no blacklisted, you will get it today.

Depends where you sign up. Digi Center should be fatest.

Also if you want to call Digi to ask, call broadband helpline 016-299 3333 / 1800 68 3333
That day the promoter didn't give me the sim card number ( phone number ), so i'm not able to register OCS online.
Then i call Digi ( 016-221 1800 ), they don't have my record. Finally i realized i need to call broadband helpline, not digi normal helpline.

hi, i'm curious on DiGi's Extreme package:

user posted image

Monthly payment = RM188

But i don't understand the "Usage Volume" = Max usage and charges capped at RM188. <-- what does it mean? What's the *actual* volume before capping? what's the charges after being capped? blink.gif

RM188 - 20G, after 20G, still no charge but they will limit your speed. You will not able to get full speed of 2Mpbs.

i got another questions on the capping calculations:

Discover - RM58 - capped 3GB
Explore - RM108 - capped 10GB

for both, if i use more, it'll be RM0.05/10MB .. .but capped at RM138.

so, my question is: Does this capped amount at RM138 inclusive of the monthly fee (RM58/108)?

yes. If you are heavy downloader, better use streamyx, unlimited.
I'm using Explore package, average daily use about 100Mb. So monthly only around 3Gb.
So i'm no worried about this.

My Explore only RM88
10Gb, after 10Gb no charge ( unlimited ), sign up at road show last week.
I will try to use more to see how.....

the answer is yes... which mean the max bill you need to pay per month for discover/explore is RM138.

Right now they are having promo packages almost every weekend. After I checked with their CS, the promo packages does not charge for the extra usages.

I used to subscribe to the Explore plan quite a while back and I realise that DiGi does not really charge the additional usages anymore!!! Wooo Hoooo.....

Check your August bill guys!!!!

I think they have taken out the additional charges to compete with the rest!!!

Viva La DiGi!!!

Is your subscription Discover/Explore? Only Extreme can get 2Mbps and above.

My area too is slow. I think this is a network wide maintenance, not isolated to the local district towers.

How's your speed after the maintenance period guys?

Have you use quota over 10Gb ? How about the speed after 10Gb?

I normally use more than 20GB...

First month was chargeable at RM138. But I notice that my July & August bill was at RM108. That was when they started the promo packages without the additional charges...

I think in due time they will make the official announcement.

After 10 GB, i feel that some applications are throttled.... Probably they have implemented their FUP.

I think DiGi has a system that ensures everyone will get roughly the likely average speed... Unlike Maxis and Celcom who opens up the whole bandwidth to be eaten up by the bandwidth hoggers...

As long as they can maintain the ~1Mbps that I am getting right now, I am quite happy

I think they are experimenting with 3G calls right now. For the love of God I hope they are pretty sure they can handle it...because the moment C, M & U introduced 3G calls...their net service go down the hill and into the drain big time...
