just saw the post of digi broadband recently and will provide my speed test and my location at shah alam (check in the coverage is totally out of cover), i m under pre-launch package, subscribe that time was priority for the laptop, but accidentally found out my house was cover by very tiny little piece (all time 1 bar with up to 3 bar when used in midnight). I just feel extremely lucky to get that speed. but the case happen like me if someday without connection i really cannot blame anyone. wish digi could get stronger cover to my place. i am super fan to online game, streaming and p2p, now if u ask me get to Edge, i am sure will yelling at anyone around me, too bad, i am addicted to high speed, spare me.

Actually both Kota Kemuning and USJ coverage area is around 3km from my house(roughly capture from the map, if count on actually mileage is more than that), but i suspect because my housing area is quite high compare with Kota Kemuning and without any tall building to block, mostly are factories, so, is easier to capture the signal. Anyway i like your idea about the cooler really cool, but i found out the effective way to cool down the modem is Air Cond room, too bad i don't have that.

just in terms of modem, when the time i bought i was too excited with the laptop and new modem, and forgot to register in huawei website, if any DiGi Broadband subscriber come with modem, gentle reminder: remember to log in hua wei to register in 4days (wrote on the card). cause after 2months i used the modem and i suspect modem problem and want to get the warranty card and check out, but what i found in the box only one piece small paper to remind to register, they dont have the physical warranty card. But lucky to say that, i found out that time they had some network issue, not the problem of modem, if not i really want to cry if they not accept for late register. anyway i found out that time, i quickly online to register the modem to prevent if anything happen.

But too bad for me cannot do the same cooler thing to my modem, coz my modem need to stay in certain height to capture the signal, so it cannot lay down like your picture, but i plan to buy mini usb stand fan for it,heeee.

for 3G phone speed up to around 384Kbps
HSPA phone got 2 types 3.6Mbps or 7.2Mbps (depends on phone model)
personal advice: get modem, coz modem you can checked WCDMA signal only, phone normally GSM signal only or GSM and 3G while you using you will facing like sometimes falls to EDGE sometimes 3G, quite annoying for that.

the free modem as i read from the website suppose to be 12months. 24months contract will only apply for the latest Hp Mini Package in Penang, correct me if i m wrong about that.

It could be done, go to setting and and find your access point and change to "3gdgnet" after that you could browse at your phone. If you want phone as modem need to use PC suite to connect or using manual connection as below, if you window vista:
1.connect your phone usb cable, 2.go Network and sharing center 3.Set up a connection or network, click on set up connection via dial up modem, after that if your phone connect successfully it will show phone model and let you chose and after that leave username and password blank, the phone number is *99# and after that click on connect, then the connection is done.

if you until step 3 and cannot find your phone model, it mean your phone not connect with your laptop or pc, will advice to check whether already install phone software in your pc or laptop. remember to install phone model driver before doing any connection.

FYI...

Just found something "new" on DiGi Broadband web... FUP seems to really apply to the service now....haiz..... i am a usual downloader (everyday) also, bad news for me, i am pre launch package... .... now i m letting go P2P at after 6pm (the speed is really killing until midnight, only half of the normal speed).... haaa.... i will on my pc before sleep and let it download till morning when i wake up.... i tried b4, after 3am is the speed is tremendously fast...... for all the telcos is saving bandwidth these days, very missed the pre launch time whereby not everybody knows about DiGi Broadband..... i want my speed back!!!

found out something from digi website, seems that.. they are REALLY EXPANDING!!! compare with the previous post the place near by my house is not capture at all, the nearest coverage area is 3km away, but really strange that i still get the signal... now i know the answer, they really had a plan near by my housing area and the hope that it will come nearer and nearer to my house to get better signal, yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!!
