pls below my speed test result.

if we follow what has mentioned in Digi webpage, the backbone bandwidth is 14.4Mbps...

However, >14.4Mbps is possible if Digi is using HSPA+ that supports up to 42Mbps... but, i doubt we can get HSPA+ in "Boleh Land" at this point of time, even though we're Boleh!!!

yes, what i'm concern is what actual we can get, using the M and C broadband now, not up to performance, their excuse is location problem or congestion.. ..
HSPA = what kind of the modem have to use, is it same as HSDPA modem?

i think this is truly depend on ISP and what type of modem to use does little help... However, Digi BB has so called Likely Average Speed at 700kbps/200kbps... this is kind of a warranty from Digi that you will get this speed at 70% of the time... it's a very new concept in wireless broadband and this is good to customer as well so that we don't have to hear all the excuse most of the time. But, so far i don't know how to measure the 70% of the time, e.g 70% of my browsing time or 70% of 24/7/7

Base on my personal experience, so far Digi had handled all my complaints (on speed issue) at a very professional way... at least, they didn't give me all kind of unacceptable excuses or tips (reboot PC, modem, etc)

HSDPA (and HSUPA) are both HSPA. HSDPA simply means high speed download component of HSPA, HSUPA the high speed upload of HSPA. All Malaysian cel cos have HSDPA, only DiGi has that and HSUPA.

Great to hear that. Digi DSL, possible?

1- Anyone ever use Discover Plan to play DotA? How is it?
2- Usage volume is not affected when we surfing internet ( with no download ) / PPS / youtube / playing online games?

i have no experience on online gaming. However, i believe the performance should not depend on package as both Discover and Explore are having same bandwidth, 700kbps/200kbps (LAS, Likely Average Speed)... only monthly limit is different.

On question #2, i guess you're asking if browsing internet will consume the monthly limit. The answer is YES, whatever upload and download (regardless of the usage or application) from your modem is calculated from your monthly limit. However, if you only use it for surfing the net, then most likely you will not over the monthly quota.

did anyone try to used their dg bb in batu 9 cheras area..... i nead to know what is the speed over there....

i tried it at mahkota cheras when i was there for a visit to my friend's place. SUPERB!!! i din do the test speed there but its really fast.... the network keep dropping (its not in the coverage map but very close to batu 9 so maybe its a spillover from there i guess) to EDGE so at the network connectivity, i switch to only WCDMA & its clear all the way. very fast & quality is good!! well done DiGi!

is it in bandar mahkota cheras......... did get edge connection or 3 g connection......

This is my first bill, view online.
My package is RM88 explore sign-up at road show.
RM10 for stamp duty, so RM98 for this month, minus RM100 deposit, i no need to pay anything this month.

1 thing not good is digi still not able to check total of usage when login to OCS from time to time.
We only can trace using modem usage stats.
I know maxis can check online, at least we know how many actual total usage up to date.

i can say digi bb is stable, i can get 1MB average.
Even i went to some place like out of coverage ( Sekinchan ), i'm still able to use EDGE at least, still able to access email and facebook, web browsing. Slow but still can load the page.

If compare to WiMax, if no coverage, you will totally not able to get online.

so Digi bb is suitable if you travel a lot, or need mobile internet.

just subscribe to Digi bb...overall the speed is beyond my expectation lo...at least few times better than my current Maxis bb...btw although my place is is not under coverage but still can get HSDPA speed...and not to mention their customer service and sales person is great too...really recommended...

The issue had been highlighted to Digi and they're working on the solution for customer to get usage status... Base on my last conversation with Digi, i was told the solution will be rolled out end of the year (why so long??? Frankly speaking, I don't know)...

In order to shorten the time, i had recommended Digi to involve some beta users but looks like it's not as easy as I thought.

i jz applied digiBB 2 days ago, but still doesnt seem able to connect yet. how long for u guys to get activated? do i need to disable my current streamyx connection via lan b4 trying to use the digi's usb 3g connection?

Mine about 5 hours..

When you plug the modem, if you get the signal then you sim is activated.. If not, the it still not activate.. To be sure just plug the sim into any handphone, if still no signal, than confirm u sim still not activated.

Usually no need to disable LAN coz the later connected will be default route but windows sometimes just do as it please.. But you will still able to connect to digi even you don't discconect the lan. The only thing is, you will not sure whether u surfing using digi or streamyx..

Go back to the place that you registered with
Maybe some info mismatch or etc
because normally BB activates very fast

Mine took only 2 hours (or even shorter as i went to shopping after done the registration)... or probably you can call up Digi BB CS... I registered at a Digi specialize store and they entered all the info on the spot.

The activation should be done very fast... 2 days is definitely too long, something must be wrong...

You should be able to connect to Digi BB network even without disabling your streamyx... but, this is just my thought. i stopped using streamyx once i got my Digi BB...

I just want to ask an opinion here.... isit worth it to sign up the hp mini + explorer package and pay for RM138 monthly?? I want to use netbook and portability. How's the coverage in Bandar Teknologi Kajang?

according to digi's website bandar teknologi kajang is not covered yet, but maybe u can search for digi 3G signal using ur phone
