myb digi allocates more bandwidth there...juz my 2 cents..

Probably, even their customer service was shocked on the speed I'm getting here in my place as he said I should be getting high speeds as it is under the 7.2mbps coverage and I'm not even getting 700kbps.

There might be quite a few early adopters in your housing area already hogging the base station there thus the slow speed or the uplink to the BTS is having some issues.

Do a reverse traceroute or traceroute with other isps to one of the nodes. Then a whois search on all the hops.

If it's through Time, you'll see the information containing Time contact/address.

But if TdC leases their fiber to DiGi with all the servers/switches owned by them, you won't find any information that links it with Time because all the ip blocks belongs to DiGi including its IX gateway.

Some of the ip blocks have not been registered with APNIC yet therefore you'll see that they're still anon.

wow!
you're not done with the debate yet?
why not you do it yourself and post your facts here for everyone to see?

I am considering switching from streamyx to DiGi but couple of questions hopefully current Digi broadband subscribers can answer:

1. What IP address are you being assinged? Public or Private?

2. I am looking at Extreme Plan RM188 but what does it mean "Max Capped at RM188", does that mean unlimited data and no slow-down?

maybe he can create another thread for that purpose....

1) Should be a shared IP. Unlike streamyx where every subscribers will have their own range of unique IP.
2) Extreme package per month is RM188, and capped at RM188 too. SO if you used more than 20GB, your speed will be throttled down to 128kbps.

Apparently there is a problem with Taman Mayang site affecting the whole area. It should get better in the next 1 or 2 days.

2. FUP applies after 20GB, throttle to 128kbps

By the way, backhaul does not necessarily require fiber. Most operators today are deploying their own backhaul either microwave or fix wireless access.

Is DiGi Broadband for DiGi Broadband subscribers only? Normal DiGi phone users will have to stick with EDGE?

According to the website's coverage area, SS15 Subang Jaya is fully covered but my mobile is still stuck with EDGE signal.

The reason they mentioned that it is max capped at RM188 is because the other two packages will be charged extra for additional usage once they breach the quota and the Extreme package doesn't but the speed will be throttled of course.

yaya must complaint digi can do the best for u they wont be so slow like u speed i think got problem here

Here's a real HTTP download speed with FlashGet.

Wow, super speed!
If to download a 700MB file, it only needs less than 10 minutes.
I think there is no other ISP in Malaysia that can provide such good speed.

i use to download torrent at 2pm something 1gb only 20 minute 1 super great.

fast DL oso ur quota faster finish =.="

i oso thinking switch 2 digi

With the higher bandwidth, I can multi-task as well. I was downloading at 700kB/s and still I can browse the web smoothly which I can't with TMNET Streamyx. I just refrain from heavy downloading with DiGi and everything will be fine. I'll use DiGi to download if I need that particular large file urgently.

Blocks are owned by DiGi. Whois APNIC showed that.

Imho, you really should understand the capacity of microwave and fixed wireless. I doubt operators can carry their entire backhaul using these mediums. What does backhaul actually mean? Internet upstream and fiber infrastructure is also different. Its like comparing apples and oranges when you put both together.

Ah planned to subscribe to this broadband but sadly no coverage in Old Klang Road.

It does when you require fast latencies.
Using microwave to link up remote sites would only add to the overall latencies. This could adversely affect your calls and cause unresponsive web surfing sessions.

Today tested at Kota Kemuning, digi speedometer hit 6mbps

Very little usage in Kota Kemuning
