You just need to buy a 3G wireless router... a few brand in the market that i know off... Dlink Dir451 is one of them which cost at RM460 in Low Yat... Personally, i don't use it...

Yupe ks98 got it right. U can got for Dlink or a brand called Aztech which is slightly cheaper, RM380. But Dlink is more recommended by seller, as Dlink specialized in modem router but Aztech is a Singapore brand. I'm using Dlink router bought from Low Yat a month ago for around RM460.

Hi Kayx, are you saying that there's a latest 3G router out there that support 7.2mbps? Mind sharing ur thoughts?

I went to Digi centre and ask and they told me they got a 3G router which supports up to 7.2mbps and it cost around rm 800+.  shocking.gif
Can anyone clarify this?
*
Ya i'm using it, and works really good. The model series is Dlink DIR-451, it support up to 14.4Mbps if not mistaken.. or even higher.

I have been using DIGI’s earlier version of broadband which uses the EDGE technology for 2 years now. It served its purpose in the beginning as I am not a heavy user. However, over the last few months, I find that it is practically useless as it keeps going offline. As it was a 2 year contract, I have to continue paying the monthly fee even though I hardly get to use it now. Nowadays, I have had to resort to looking for WIFI enabled places to do most of my web surfing.

As the contract is nearing its end, I have been looking for an alternative. Looking at P1 W1MAX’s latest promotion where we get a 1 month trial period certainly looks enticing. But then, DIGI has also rolled out its new broadband which is supposed to be much faster than those offered by the other networks. It is contract-free and considering DIGI’s option offer more mobility, it is definitely a contender. Although P1 W1MAX’s answer to mobility is the WIGGY, even their reseller tells me that it is not reliable at the moment. Looking at their coverage map, both DIGI and P1 have good coverage in my area.

I have recently found out DIGI has set up kiosks where we are able to test out their broadband. While I have not tried it, it must mean they are quite confident of their performance. However, will DIGI be giving me the same problem 2 years down the road when they get more subscribers ? One P1 W1MAX reseller was telling me as DIGI’s system has to cope with voice calls, sms and the likes in addition to data traffic, their system is liable to being clogged as compared to P1 WIMAX which is solely for data traffic. Is this true or are they just pulling wool over my eyes ? Incidentally, one P1 W1MAX reseller told me there is plan to provide voice call service through their modem in the future too.

Based on my limited knowledge, I would say DIGI is a better bet. Anyone thinks differently ?

FYI, DiGi broadband/3G is run separately with 2G which is voice/sms/mms... they want to prevent congestion between the two platform

Is there a discount if I pay my bill using cc auto-debit?

My area suffers no data transfer problem over the weekend until yest. Dissapointed me totally as the cs claims that there's no service interruption in my area, asked me to check my modem coz they suspect my modem has problem.

ya,something there is something faulty on the modem itself, some ppl encountered before ,after change a new modem, everything solved

truly unlimited but EDGE speed is slow, or 3G speed 3GB, after that capping at EDGE speed. So new package still better.
*
Nope....i have clarified with D' Chat that after 3G quota, the speed will capped at 128kbps, that is GPRS, u can refer to their website too http://www.digi.com.my/internet/3g/pricing_58.html > DiGi plan comparison chart, whereas the old UNLIMITED is 3g throughout

thanks! i've read through that. i've stopped using Digi before they launch their broadband and 3G service so meaning i'm not a subscriber.
For Q13 you can only do that IMHO after you subscribed to Postpaid while for Q18 is for current subscriber.

I don't want to subscribe to Digi Broadband since there will be additional charges if i exceed the 3GB Quota for Discover.
No extra charges for 3G Unlimited Rm58 Plan just they will slow you down which i'm more comfortable with. Don't want suddenly monthly goes up to Rm138 for Discover which is more than double your usual charges.

So... can i subscribe to Digi 3G Internet Unlimited (RM58/month) without any voice feature?
*
But for my Discovery which which i subscribe during their 1st launch, there is no extra charge even my usage exceed 6GB, and no speed cap too rclxub.gif

watch out for DiGi roadshow, their sure will offer plan which dont apply extra charge after quota. N/B: u have missed the 1U bonanza ,they give a very good deal with rm1 for modem.

The upcoming roadshow might b at PWTC (info from ppl in Forum), they offer explore plan for RM78 only

its not shown in the map because the coverage that you are getting might be a spillover from the site nearby. Its just that you might not get the signal in some time if more ppl are using at the site there. To be safe, wait till they announce at their coverage map.
*
but that is too far to be spillover smile.gif

what i afraid is the coverage area is under testing period when they switch on the coverage signal, and they might off it until their formal announcement of new coverage in the website... hmm.gif who knows.... i also encountered 3G coverage in JB town which is one of their future coverage area, ipoh, JB and kuching
