I realized that my location area (Cheras) will suffer either from congestion or 'managed' usage every time the clock hits 9pm onwards. I used to surf from 6-830pm after coming back from office and then 9 something after dinner for my assignments. So I see a dive in consistency 9pm onwards.

Which location are you at?

really unlimited ( No FUP )?????? i think the staff give the wrong information

It's 10GB quota, after quota FUP applies, no additional PAYU charges.

DiGi reserves the right to prioritize less P2P applications after 10GB.

haha..I think my friend got conned la..he said..one of the digi staff at pc fair said that the fup for rm88 promo package is unlimited (no 10 GB limit) for those who sign up during the pc fair..we test the connection then and it is quite terrible..because our area (desa melawati) only covered by edge..sleep.gif..lucky me not subscribe yet..

Huge chunk of Ampang is covered. Probably need to come down to Ampang.

about the digi promotion @ PC Fair:

DO we have to sign for any contract? How long?
If we have used up to 10GB, are they going to cap our connection? are they going to charge us extra?
*
Based on the info given, they will less prioritize p2p after 10GB. No additional charges after quota.

If you are within coverage go and subscribe, quite worth it. The network is expanding bigger and bigger every month.

Did signed up too..haih..but the connection is very slow..hope my workplace got 3G coverage..

Wanna ask..is connection speed average (100Kbps ~ 250Kbps) sufficient enough to connect the Yahoo Messenger or any other chat client?..mine cannot connect..always fail and ask to retry..even my gtalk cannot connect..is it connection or the client itself problem?..

I think maple also cannot play la..huhu..

Are you within the coverage area? Check on their website http://www.digi.com.my/broadband

If you are in EDGE you should be able to get around 150kbps average which still allows you to go on MSN and Yahoo Messenger.

Try to sit near an open place or near the window to get better coverage. 2nd floor of the house should be better.

hmm....all the replies seem to indicate all's good, but some of my fren having it complained service is bad...connection drops, latency is bad...
which is why i'm still stuck with Slowmyx....

was at McD BU wif a fren, and he did a speedtest and god, the speedtest didn't even finish loading!.....wtf!  sweat.gif  Digi Boleh?

i mean c'mon, if they can't even get Bandar Utama connected, they should just pack up and close shop.

the funny thing was, we were driving to mcd, and we saw this Digi van or truck advertising about how great Digi broadband coverage was or sumthing.... Hillarious!

No coverage in BU. Not their fault. BU residence would not allow putting up base station. They are too afraid of getting brain cancer or something.

So what to do???

Do test at a location within their coverage area and post your results.

I have been told by a supervisor-rank person in the PCFAIR KLCC that for the explorer plan, after exceeded 10GB fair usage, your speed won't reduce nor they charging you extra. is this true? Because my friend subscribed last month and he told me after 10GB, digi is charging him something like 5sen per 10MB... but then, I can't find any of the related fair usage policy charging information from the digi website (their fair usage policy are just a general page descibing what is fair usage only). If this promotion I was being told is valid, then isn't the explorer package is totally rubbish? and also, those who subscirbed digi broadband last month, isn't it is quite unfair to them?

2nd, the promotion 3.6mbps... I'm not really that understand. I'm using the usb stick modem provided by them, the max can only go up to 1000+/- kilobit (divide 8 if you wan to know how much kilobytes)... it's way below their 3.6mbit/s speed. is this normal?

3rd, the so called penalty fee if I cancel my package before 12months period, let's say I cancel my package on the 2nd month and I'm going to pay RM150 penalties.. after that, is the usb modem stick mine or I'm going to return back to Digi?

I hope someone from digi or with sound knowledge of the current digi package/digi PCFair promotion package can clear off my doubts above, else I going to cancel the package within 7 days to get my refund.

Thanks!

Currently no charges after quota for all plans.

They can always set up a temporary base station for a roadshow.

One utama is served by inbuilding antennas. Basically no operator can get into BU unless if they build illegal sites.


If you are a BU resident, do push the Resident Association to allow operators to get in (in a more structured way of course)

Hi this could be due to the power variation in your usb port. Try using the long cable that comes with the modem and plug the 2 heads in 2 usb ports of your laptop.

Personally, i feel FUP is good for overall customer... but, how slow is your speed?


Added on August 7, 2009, 7:41 am
If i remember correctly, the answer is NO... that is what the Campus means... better check with Digi


Added on August 7, 2009, 7:43 am
i think there are something wrong in Peninsular... coz when i did speedtest last night, it traced that i'm from Sabah... instead of Kuala Lumpur (all the while it's from KL).

Digi, any update on recent slowness issue?
*
Guys, this may due to the circuit failure to US and Hong Kong. If you notice the link to PCCW HK is congested eg. high latency but to Singapore is OK???

Could this be due to the backbone issues? IINM all landing sites in the country are controlled by TM. That's why when one link goes down all kena one.

Try downloading the Ping Plotter freeware from the site www.pingplotter.com.

Perform a continuous traceroute and ping to google, youtube, yahoo or any other preferred sites during busy hours.

Save the results as image and post it here.

I think the link to Hong Kong PCCW and going out of Hong Kong is also affected by the same problem as TM. See the pics below:

Yes that's exactly my point. When I try to load a video from youtube, the loading was fast at some point it wasn't moving at all and then I open the digi software to check the stability of the connection. Believe it or not the download is 0 kpbs and the video totally not moving at all.

I feel like Digi is throttling the connection. Anyone confirm this?

Sadly to say, the connection was so bad & I really don't know why it happened.

P/s: I'm from Kota Kinabalu btw.
*
There is no throttling for Youtube as the connection here in PJ is really good. Could be site dependent.

Hell yes.... i duno why.....when i watch youtube...it loaded very fast until some point the connection is 0 !! It's not moving at all..... By the way, I've just got digi bb yday from PC fair, and found out the latency ( PING) is so high, can't even play online game..that's pathetic.. Besides that..The connection wasn't stable at all...

Anyone experience the same too?? I'm so fed up now....thinking of canceling the contract npw.

Its weird, some applications are slow while the others doesn't seem to be affected at all. adslgorou is right, we should do some traceroute. Probably some applications are routed on a different 'link'.

Do a traceroute test and you can identify the bottleneck....

I think the whole region goes hay-wire with the 2 sea cables cut.
