can someone explain to me how the 'additional usage' works ?
lets take an example for explore package = rm0.05/10mb (capped at rm138)
thanks

QUOTE(Raki @ Apr 14 2009, 10:15 PM) This is from digi bb's faq this is what i understand;Q15. What is the usage limit for these broadband packages? A15. - The Discover package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 3GB. Usage beyond 3GB will be charged at 15sen/10MB and will be capped at a maximum of RM138/month. - The Explore package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 10GB. Usage beyond 10GB will be charged at 5sen/10MB and will be capped at a maximum of RM138/month. - The Extreme package comes with a data quota/usage limit of 20GB. Usage beyond 20GB will be free although the speed will be throttled to 128kbps. Q16. And what happens after I’ve reach the maximum capped amount…? A16. My, my So, i think is for discover package is that after u use 3GB, digi will charge u 15sen per 10MB u use and will keep charging u until ur digi bb monthly bill is RM138 (something like their PAYU/"pay as u use " in their gprs/edge. Same goes to discover but with a 10GB quota and 5sen per extra 10MB. u are given a month quota and is charge for over ur quota until a certain amount and than u dont need to pay any further for that month. But sadly for digi BB, their will throttl u to 128kbps after u reach the max payment... wth monthly fee > lets just take rm100 as a figure (my bigpond connection is slow at the moment). maximum usage (quota/usage)> rm138 total > rm100 + rm138 = rm238 speed throttle once monthly quota reached so meaning the excess usage will be at 128kbps only. correct ? thanks |

QUOTE(amiranna @ Apr 16 2009, 03:30 PM) like that ka? if thats how it works then i guess it's fine but let say u subscribe rm105 per month for 10GB so beyond 10GB Digi will charge u 0.10sen per 10mb until u reach RM138, Digi will throttle your speed at 128kbs.. so your max bill per month is rm138 correct? when the speed throttle to 128kbps will render your connection useless. |

i think digi should put a news column on their website, so that we could know if they have expanded to a new area or something like that.

what u guys are saying for those who subscribed to explore and discover package wont be able to download at 700kbps because digi capped the speed at 1mbps. the actual download speed is 100kbps. correct ?

QUOTE(talrasha @ May 12 2009, 08:57 AM) Nope.. ahhh ic, i understand what ur trying to say. thanks When Shinjite said "I didn't even come across even 1 hitting higher than 1.1mbps and above", it simply meant we couldnt get speed such as 2-3mbps. Only extreme and those on pre-launch package do have the privilege. Of course we are able to download at 700kbps since our constant download is 1mbps = 1000kbps. We just state that for Discover and Explore, seldom do we get higher than 1100kbps. What does this mean? This means great Hope that clears the air |

QUOTE(kayx @ May 25 2009, 12:31 PM) for me i'm a bit more technical. i differentiate it is expensive, but i guess there is no other way to share. get the cheapest 3g router only then use the usb modem given.. that will be sufficient for normal user. im still waiting for digi bb to arrive at my place 3G router - router only, cannot insert SIM card, must use with a separate 3G modem, such as plugging in the USB modem, normally cost <RM400 models include Aztech HW831 http://www.aztech.com/my/3g_hw831.html, or CWR- 635M http://www.cnet.com.tw/product/cwr-635m.html check the specs for these because for this 2 model, i see from the website only support 3.6mpbs, so i think the transfer rate from the usb model to the 3g router is around this speed. not sure how much it is in real life. but then it's ok to use if you don't subscribe to the more expensive 7.2mbps package 3G modem router - has router and modem built in, more than RM500 models include T-MOBILE WEB 'N' WALK BOX II, Huawei E960 @pennyzai - i think these are the types of 3g modem+router the digi shops are selling, as most of these can support 7.2mbps i mean.. these are some of the result of my internet research at the moment and haven't gone out to the "streets" to find out what is available on the shop. wanting to share my wireless broadband but feel the equipment is very expensive for my budget. hehe.. this is my 50th post.. got 2 star now.. |

kayx,
for someone who is very techinical like you might say that the above step is easy, but it's not for everyone rm600 is alot to pay for sharing purposes. i guess all this wireless broadband are designed for mobility. |

QUOTE(Raki @ Jun 14 2009, 08:45 PM) the modem cant handle that many connection. beside that eventhough only 20 connection, i still get max speed (1mbps) even with a low seed torrent file. and establish connection with peer very fast if compare to streamyx. it that is the case then it's fine but i guess it would still be hard to download a few torrent and seeding at the same time if the global max is only at 20.. is that right ? |

QUOTE(adslgourou @ Aug 2 2009, 01:32 PM) Are you within the coverage area? Check on their website http://www.digi.com.my/broadband he's not in coverage area.. that's why he's getting edge speed.If you are in EDGE you should be able to get around 150kbps average which still allows you to go on MSN and Yahoo Messenger. Try to sit near an open place or near the window to get better coverage. 2nd floor of the house should be better. |
