Hi,
After read thru all your posting, looks like Digi BB is not suitable for you and to me, this issue could be area specific (this is my guessing only). The best way is to ask Nicholas to do a speed test at your area biggrin.gif or may be you can do a speedtest at different area (the mobility is always easier!)

I have no money for extreme package, however, i can get consistent 1Mbps most of the time (again, not 100% of the time since LAS is only meant 70% of the time).

If you're an online gamer and heavy downloader, then probably streamyx could be better (since it's still unlimited smile.gif)

Btw, LAS for extreme is 2Mbps... so, if you can get 2Mbps for most of the time, then Digi has already done his job right... on the other hand, if you're consistently getting <2Mbps, then better file a complaint... something need to be rectified.

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.

Yes, your area must be covered officially then only Digi has the obligation to fix it for you. Otherwise, it's completely up to Digi if they would like to help you on this.

On the bandwidth usage, I was told by Digi CS that currently there is no way for you to know your latest usage status. You will only get your usage when the bill is out (this is too late to me)... I have feedback to Digi then this feature is very important and the answer i got is the solution will be ready by end of the year (again, this is too long for me as Digi need to do a lot of testing first before rolling it out)... i think digi should engage some beta user in order to shorten the time.

I'm using CNet CWR635M at this moment... faced some issue with my Sierra 885 before and feedback to CNet (their response was very fast... <1 day usually). No more issue after upgraded to latest firmware...

I bought it from Mika last time @RM299 but price has dropped to RM260 nowadays sad.gif ... http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/316492

I don't know how much is hw550-3g in market now...

DIGI wireless broadband is superb! Previously using CELCOM wireless broadband basic package for RM68 (own modem) the speed is like dialing 1515. Now paying RM73 (free modem) for DIGI explore package, the speed is on par with my streamyx 1mbps line!

Btw, the sales person told me explore package is unlimited now. Means no additional usage charges after 10GB data limit just the speed will slow down only.

Is this true?

explore package is unlimited at rm73?
i check online...still rm108 but got additional charge max rm138.

where the promo?

I have just tested my DigiBB using my Dlink DIR655 using firmware v1.21WW with my 3G modem from digi (Huawei E219) and works like a charm. I tested it for a day without any glitch but thats all i did as I return back to normal settings for my home network afterwards

1. No. Digi bb only stand alone use, cannot combine with your postpaid sim or prepaid sim.
2. YES. Look like your place don't have 3G coverage.
3. Normally sign up at road show will give you RM88 for explore package. But you don't know where it will be there. Discover normally no promo, standard RM58 even at road show.

answering to yr qyestions:-

check your coverage at www.digi.com.my/broadband

1) wat simcard do u mean? the current phone simcard? broadband simcard and normal call simcard is different
2) yes. if the signal is bad, it will drop to edge
3) you can try visit dealer in lowyat for the promo of RM88.

look like you want broadband to be use in your phone to get online.
RM66 for EDGE data unlimited to your postpaid. For me not worth it if only get EDGE speed.
