So is confirmed after quota breach drop to 128kbps right?

Like that the 3GB quota is a turnoff
*

If this 7.2mbps really true, is it worth to cancel P1 W1MAX subscription ( Iam a really happy user) to apply DiGi Broadband?
*
well, Digi system capacity are 14.4mbps, so 7.2mbps will not be an issue for them.

don't cancel your P1 first, compare with any of your friends Digi broadband at your home just to make sure digi is equal or better.

a bit disappoint on digi package.

The compare chart is not 100% houour.

For celcom even quote is 5GB but it fix with RM68 per month.

no as digi, got hidden extra charge capped at RM 138.

If like this, Celcom is still worth it ,because I can use extra 2GB with RM68.

But digi will start charge you after 3GB , the 2GB extra will charge you max at RM138.

totally pricey.
*
Bro, you blur blur edi loh about the extra charges if you exceed the quota.....

RM58=3GB

additional 10MB=RM0.15

so i have calculated if you continue downloading up to 8GB, you will be charged RM132.....
let's say during that month you have downloaded 18GB worth of data, actual charges will be
First 3GB=RM58
Next 15GB=RM235
Total RM293 but you will pay at the cap price of RM138 only.

but if u compare the explore package

digi rm109 = 10gb
celcom rm 98 = 5gb
digi is better in that manner...
*
you are right but celcom is running at 3.6Mbps compare to Digi 0.7Mbps....
But then again, can celcom give you 3.6Mbps consistently or did they ever give you 3.6Mbps?????

Using Maxis 384kbps at Meru town was worse than using EDGE, my edge can load faster than maxis.....TESTED & PROVEN.

so you want TM streamyx show average speed like this ah??

512Kbps (average speed 20kb/s or even less)
1Mbps (average 35kb/s or even less)

streamyx suck...extremely oversold their package,every users getting very slow speed...

if streamyx highlight the average speed,sure ppl run away and they must sa yo na na la...

haha...
*
download speed of 20kb/s is equal to a broadband speed of 160Kbps

when 512kbps=you should have 64kbps when downloading.

my streamyx 1mbps have onli 80kb/s download speed=actual of what i should have is 125kb/s max

Digi 700kbps should have download speed of 87.5kb/s max.....any user can verify for me your actual download speed of digi broadband?

http://www.digi.com.my/broadband/packages_comparison.html

Malaysia mobile broadband cheapest package are so low class compare to
other countries because the quota of 3GB - 5GB.

The quota is not for download only but also inclusive of the upload.

Digi should also put in a comparison to SG Singtel mobile broadband :-

http://home.singtel.com/bbmobile/
*check price plan*

Their cheapest package cost only SGD 22.42 (RM 54)  and come with
a 30GB quota for 1 MB download and 384kb upload.

Malaysia Mobile/3G Broadband TAK BOLEH!
*
well, you got to put the blame on the goverment and not DIGI, because of the GOV, digi got the license late and Maxis & Celcom take the previledge to charge kau kau.......soon celcom and maxis will cry cause need to lower their price and they need to upgrade their system again if they need to compete with DIGI when digi go full throttle on their system...at the moment Digi only 1/2 throttle will kill maxis and celcom edi........hehe

Look like Digi forgot to compare another player Umobile.

If someone happen to be under coverage area , it also a nice choice.

cannot compare to Umobile leh.......previous owner of DIGI now own UMobile so i think Digi give face to UMobile taukeh loh.

Wat u mean full throttle and 1/2 throttle?  laugh.gif

Throttle is not a good thing. doh.gif
*
DIGI tech max out at 14.4mbps, now they give 7.2mbps for those early bird who sign up Extreme package.

7.2mbps=1/2 throttle loh

2 years ago streamyx tech max at 4mbps but they only offer 1mbps for the fastest package.

i think i understand how digi system work. All 3 package no speed limit. Speed up to 7.2mbps. The catch is use more pay more. After billing hit rm138 system trottled speed to 128kbps.

So think carefully. Dont complain if subscribe rm58 but pay rm138.
*
speed limit have for discover and explore = 700kbps/200kbps

RM138 is not bad wah, if you have a choice which 1 do you pick?

a-a telco with 3.6mbps at rm98 but speed always slow and claim that they are no1 broadband in Malaysia or
b-a telco with average speed of 700kbps/200kbps stable connection, would be faster at off peak hours with minimum rm58 to max RM138

even my streamyx 1mbps package has a lower average speed of digi broadband.

QUOTE(GrimmReaper @ Mar 21 2009, 08:03 PM)
Still deciding wether its worth it to cancel my digi edge for this. Its not so clear cut

Pros:
- When below the cap, 3g speed is faster than edge.
- When below the cap, 3g is cheaper monthly for lowest package

Cons:
- When passed cap, 3g is throttled, actually slower than edge
- When passed cap, monthly rate could be double of edge
- 3g coverage is limited (but will eventually grow)
- 3g cannot use on mobile phone

seems like a a pretty sour deal for compared to EDGE.

Am I missing something?

the throttle thing is only for extreme woh......

Umobile is not compare cause Tan Sri Vincent Tan still have a little bit of share at Digi and he owns UMobile.

I'm very dissapointed with DIGI....what crap 3GB, 5GB and 10GB limit...
not meant for heavy downloader like me.

And their package is only slightly cheaper than Celcom...

I'll pass.I guess broadband is NEVER done right in Malaysia. Streamyx still owns this country...sigh.

Go for Extreme loh, 30GB is a lot loh....

QUOTE(adslgourou @ Mar 22 2009, 07:38 AM)
You will be throttled after RM138 but to reach RM138 you must have used more than 16GB! Thats huge compared to other competitors who are only offering 3GB (M) and 5GB ©.

*
no, you won't be throttle, only extreme will be throttle.

30GB is  VERY LITTLE.

I easily use about 6GB a day. 5 days habis...and then stuck at 64kbps....yuck!!!

If throttle at 512kbps not so bad...64kbps is like dial-up!!! doh.gif

not 64kbps, it's 128kbps.
