hi guys, i finally managed get my digi bb extreme package to work....... hmm but it doesnt really impress me much compared to my previous streamyx 2mb. so far im getting only bout 1900-2000+kbps download frm speedtest, my rm77 streamyx package can do about 1800kpbs d/l.. zzzzz . nw testing torrent d/l , but still not much different than my streamyx. is there something wrong here? im seeing ppl getting 4-7mb connection frm this package, while im getting a lousy 2mb.

another question is, do u guys usually get faster connection after midnite? im also havnt cancel my current streamyx connection, so is it possible that i can combine both digi + streamyx to make my internet much faster for d/l n etc?

From my personal opinion, if you're a heavy internet user with average ~16GB usage per month and completely fine with 24 months contract (as many ppl is still questioning if Digi can sustain its BB service quality with the increase of subscribers) then i think the package is a good choice. Also, since you're also looking for a Netbook at this moment.

One good thing about this package is the 3G modem is built in so it's much more convenient when you move around... I feel the USB modem stick is a bit inconvenience when i move around, you need to take care the modem so as not to hit by somebody or something accidentally.

However, i believe the modem is supportable up to 3.6Mbps only... so a drawback for future upgrade.

On simple calculation,
RM138 X 24 = RM3312 (Total you pay for the package with 16GB monthly limit) * I learnt that there is no auto-billing rebate for this package.

If you subscribe Explore package and buy a netbook separately:
Explore package:
RM73 X 12 (Assume you manage to get such a promotion package for first year with monthly auto-billing rebate, RM5)
= RM876 (only 10GB monthly limit)

RM103 X 12 (The package will go back to normal price after first year and after auto-billing rebate, RM5)
= RM1236 (With only 10GB monthly limit)

Total spend on Explore package for 24 months, RM876+RM1236 = RM2112

So, the netbook price will be RM3312 - RM2112 = RM1200...

From the calculation, if you can get a netbook at <RM1200 and your monthly usage is always around 10GB, then this is not a package for you.

For me, i will take the package if i'm looking for a netbook and a wireless BB now. As built-in modem is more convenient than the USB stick... (but, it's harder to remove the sim card from a built-in modem). However, the decision is still at your side. There are always good and bad point for every decision.

Note: Most importantly, make sure your area is covered by Digi BB first. And of course, i'm not considering all the warranty issue in my calculation and you've no plan to share the broadband with a 3G router (as a router may need a USB modem)

after using digi extreme BB for 3 days.... wat i can say for me it sux compare to my current streamyx. mayb its my area, i dun knw but as much as i hate streamyx, i hv 2 admit it is more stable compare to digi.

i tried playin a couple online games n even hosted games like dota via gg or left4dead on steam server.. all performed very badly with loaads of dc n lag spikes. even when it tries 2 d/l files or update patch it sometimes jz stop there n i had 2 reconnect again.

for torrenting.... sure it can hit 300+kpbs after midnite, but seriously with the 20gb cap hw many hd movies i can dl? i really dn knw why so much problems, as my house is listed in the 3g area. (ss18 subang jaya)
also i ran some speedtest jz nw during 8-11pm, mostly it can oni reach 600-800kpbs and upload was 50-80kpbs... wtf? nw 5am, i did another speedtest which can hit 3000+kpbs d/l and upload 300+ kpbs. but still all the games i tried to play stil LAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

ive alrdi call the digi ppl few times now, and i guesss i will be returning them the modem + cancel the package if they still cannot sort it out in this few days. damn digi got my hopes high aihhh....

I wonder anyone has experience the same situation like mine.
I was using DGBB for a month and a half and was all fine.
I live in Jln Ipoh, near Dynasty hotel area.
My area is a non official 3G coverage area, but I've been receiving 3G signal from spillage of other 3G area i guess.
The signal wasn't strong, was around 17% to 24%, but it was good enough for me to get a stable connection.
And that was until 3 days go.
I came back from work and suddenly discovered there wasn't anymore 3G signal, only down to EDGE.
I called the DGBB customer support to relate my case to them.
They said my area is not a 3G coverage area and there's nothing he can do about it.
I told him to check my bandwidth usage as that would be a proof that I've been getting the 3G signal usage all these while.
Also I told them, I manually search for the network with my modem and my phone, DG3G did show up, but my modem failed to register to the DG3G network.
His reply was that he can't check my bandwidth and there's nothing he can do. He refused to open a case for me on the basis that my area is not in the official coverage area..
I'm so bloody pissed off rite now coz after a month of happy usage and recommending DGBB to ppl, this is what I got back in return.

this is wat im getting from the DiGi Xtreme Package RM188 : Broadband Done Right!!
p/s : nicolas i really envy u man!
