The throttling of 128kbps after the maximum charges of RM138 also applies to the Discover and Explore package.

for sure, if you're on extreme, you're among the fastest broadband users in Malaysia now. tongue.gif

An exception of course, like my friend who stays in Kuala Lumpur won't really be able to experience one of the fastest broadband connection since many areas in Kuala Lumpur isn't covered yet.

The fastest broadband experience still belongs to wired DSL and fiber.
No arguments to that even on this shore.

I guess what he meant is home consumer level.

Alright alright, every1 knows that pre-launch package can go up to 7.2mbps

What we are asking is the extreme package's max speed, not prelaunch package. From the way you answered earlier, its like telling every1 the extreme package can go up to 5mbps no problems....zzzz
*
I did a speedtest with one of the computers during the launch in One Utama and it clocked about 3000kbps.

i also got try twice, 1 time hit 4586kbps and 2nd time hit 5120kbps at 1u-friday.

at least they do roadshow where they have coverage,

different story with Celcom who is so desperate to get more customer base and they did a roadshow promoting their wireless broadband at Aeon Bukit Tinggi-test their speed and page load slow like shit, did not allow me to do speedtest............my digi edge can load faster than that

DiGi's coverage within Petaling Jaya area is really strong and it is a good decision by them to start in Petaling Jaya area first.

yups, according to digi official website, PJ area was very strong signal for digi 3G,hopefully digi will increase their digi 3g coverage
*
At the moment I can see that DiGi is focusing on expanding their coverage within Kuala Lumpur. They have to cover most areas in the Klang Valley to start off their broadband service.

I got Digi broadband yesterday and average 1.2 mbps for one hour.
Now I swap it with maxis broadband fr my friend...letting him try out Digi.
I am regretting now as Mxxxs is really bad, cant load my download fr server...

Edit: I'm running tmnut connection as well now.

Which plan are you on? From what you said that you are getting an average of 1.2mbps, I guess you're on the Discover or Explore plan?

Its between 125ms to 2xx ms ping from my tests

Ping times for web surfing isn't really that important as long as it is within acceptable range. The speeds were so good that I forgot this is a wireless broadband because the other providers of wireless broadband really gave me an image that wireless broadband in Malaysia isn't that good yet.

I did call the CS about the coverage for Digi BB. Was told Bandar Utama does not have 3G coverage for Digi. I told the CS, why did a launch in 1U when Bandar Utama no coverage? Sad to say even AMAX and P1 does not have coverage in this area. Strange isn't it?
*
Also, sometimes in the coverage map it may show that your area isn't covered yet but when you take the modem and test it at your place, it does show that there is 3G coverage.

They are planning to cover key cities such as Penang, K.K and JB by year end, according to The Star - http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...87&sec=business

Well, I think some areas are already covered but it ain't mentioned nor showed in the coverage map yet, most probably it is still under beta testing.

The Extreme plan which is the highest plan available for now is rated to have an average of 2mbps for download only which means any HSDPA phones should do the job pretty well. smile.gif

I'm back at home now and it seems that the upload improved but the download speed isn't satisfactory as this is on the Extreme plan.

It makes no difference. There's just something wrong with the download speed back here in my house. The nice speeds I posted before this was tested in Sunway Pyramid.

Ouch!  And I was getting excited to start considering applying for the Extreme plan.  Just tested the speedtest again with Singapore server just as you did as a comparison and I was still able to get similar D/L and U/L speed as my earlier post.

Where are you located? Maybe that has a bearing to your lower D/L speed?

I guess I know what's wrong with the download speed, I'm connected at HSUPA. Those of you that are having decent download speeds, are you connected to either HSPA or HSDPA?
