Any Penang "Peng you" here detected DIGI 3G?? No news ?? Is it because PG is going into FREE WIFI internet CITY therefore DIGI 3G is left out for PG??

I am using EDGE data unlimited... Just turn on my 3G on my iphone3G... Hopefully can detect something..

oh..is it.. Where is the area? PG island? I still did not see any 3G on my iphone3G.. It shows EDGE only.. I am using DG data unlimited plan..

I personally think that DIGI 3G broadband is the BEST after the alliances with TIME DOT COM.. As we know that TDC is the 100% fiber optic trunk network. From Penisular Malaysia to East Malaysia, direct fiber link to international route..(no need to go through telekom).. Therefore, DIGI 3G will be fully benefit of the infra..

Picture worth thousand word.. Look at the infra diagram

Is inter related la ... 3G or any internet service provider providing the first phase date transfer.. Eg.. TM Streamyx.. the 1st phase is ADSL modem through copper tel line.. Here.. 1st phase is 3G wireless technology.. 2nd phase, 3G data will reach DIGI nearest tower station.. Then, the data is transfer via LAND line(in here will be TIME DOT COM fiber optic backbond that cover the entire peninsular ), 3rd.. will route through

TIME DOT COM direct service

PG island cannot detect any 3G signal leh..

I am saying DIGI would benefit from TDC infrastructure...Huawei is the 3G equipment vendor...This include setting up 3G infra & network... Bare in mind, 3G is the 1st phase..After that, data is transmit on LAND line...Pls read my post# 369 again so that u have a better picture where is the position of 3G services...

In order to find out weather is uses TDC? Can someone pls download this visual route & test it out..This VisualRoute Server provides a graphical traceroute and ping test from this server to any other network device you choose, useful for pinpointing network connectivity problems and identifying IP address locations.

Penang Pen you !! Good news for Digi3G as they will launch it 2nd week of May! This source is from a friend of mine who work in DSS.. Roadshow will carry out by them in Gurney Plazza !

I got a question for you guys to solve out..Perhaps u are willing to help..haha
Ok.. my data unlimted (EDGE) contract v DG will expire soon in June.. So, i am in doubt now to weather
1. To sign for DG 3G broadband RM 58 or
2. To continue the EDGE data unlimited plan...

But, my area is still not cover by DG3G broadband.. If i sign for this, then my speed will be EDGE speed.. If this is true, then must well i continue the EDGE plan... But, i want faster speed.. Even if i would cross over to Maxis/Celcom, then it raises another concern...
a.Maxis/Celcom 3G coverage is not as wide as EDGE.. Which mean that most the time when i am traveling.. I got GPRS speed.. Hai yo... very headache.. Your advice & opinion is needed.. TQ

P/S: FYI, i had with EDGE unlimited plan for the past 2 YEARS.. From the Bill, my GPRS/EDGE data never exceed 3GB usage.I am from PG,my friend who work in DG said they will do a roadshow for the 3G broadband roll out for PG in May. And he will borrow me his 3G broadband SIM for me to test in my house..

sorry.. 3.5G is EDGE u mean? or do u mean i should go for the 3G broadband package@ RM58 cap with 3GB limit?

@cardin
Is the Maxis/Celcom 3G coverage as wide as EDGE coverage?

So i should sign up for DG 3G broadband RM 58.. While getting EDGE speed as my area does not have DG 3G

Ok.. but June is really around the corner.. So, i have to make up my mind first...

The fair usage policy.. Is it only happend in a Malaysia boleh country? Do u come across to know any others country's (US,Uk, Singapore,etc..)wireless broadband provider having this policy?

Ok..no complaint then.. Portability is what we pay for...No choice..
