DiGi 3G Broadband

Check out the official launch of DiGi 3G Broadband- read here

My opinion on price? Its expensive, especially when you need to pay upfront (RM300) to register for the broadband plus modem when I can buy a Celcom Vodafone modem at RM333 (plus a 12 months contract). I also think that the Explore and Extreme packages are overpriced.

While the existing players are competing on speed, DiGi is competing on Megabyte. An average speed on DiGi 3G Broadband is about 700Kbps, something that DiGi promise as they don’t use the word “up to….”, if you notice.

And when you use more than the monthly data cap, DiGi will charge you for it, at least you still get the same speed while Celcom and Maxis will reduce your Internet speed once you reach their monthly data cap. As for DiGi, the more their customers use 3G broadband, they will have more money to upgrade the bandwidth and this should be a win-win situation. I hope they will launch an online bandwidth meter to show how much data has been consumed by their broadband customer within the month.

My only advice is that you should go for DiGi 3G Broadband if you require quality of service especially when it comes to speed but don’t expect it to be mobile since DiGi still has a long way to go when it comes to 3G coverage.

    have an advice to all out there who wish to subscribe to digi broadband…. Avoid it at all cost!!

    I subscribed the service about three months ago. First month was good. Got HSDPA signal most of the time and very few disconnect.

    Now 95% of the time cannot get HSDPA signal. Always downgrade my connection to EDGE. I don't mind that if EDGE can give me 100KBPS download speed but digi EDGE is even slower that 56K modem! Even google search page also take ages to load! Somemore keep on disconnecting like nobody business!

    My area is Pusat Bandar Puchong.

    I was a digi supporter until now. Go to hell digi. Broadband done right my foot!

    I made up my mind to terminate this useless service. My brother's U mobile works like a charm. I will subscribe U mobile after I terminate digi. Very disappointed with them.

       Aku pun kes same je..ada para di dalam iklan “not refundable bla bla bla…” Aku dah rugi rm200 lagi sebab lepas activation line kali kedua(BACA BETUL-BETUL ->KALI KEDUA)  lebih 3 hari still tak jalan. Kes ini terjadi  september 2010. Report kat call centre digi diaorg buat bodo saja. Kes tahun 2007 bayar pakai  maybank2u online tapi tak detect. duit hangus. Call maybank dia tolak ke Digi. Call digi diaorg ckp itu maybank punya pasal. CB la digi

    now digi has limited edition prepaid digi broadband, RM169 or the modem (including RM10 top up); RM2 per day. Can top up using normal digi prepaid card/ticket/pin.
    I never have problem with it so far.

    damn ! kenapa digi broadband prepaid ni makin lama makin tidak boleh pakai langsung. dulu 5 hari rm10 sekarang 2 hari rm 10. dulu kuota 3gigs dalam 5 hari dan sekarang kalau da pakai lebih 100mb dlm beberapa jam saja mesej da sampai untuk memberitahu yang kelajuan untuk melangg ani cuma tingal 128kbps saja ! baru download satu lagu 3.2mb saja mengambil masa 10 minit. apa semua ni ! dulu tak macam ni ! mungkin bukan saya seorang saja yang mengalami masalah ini. sungguh mengecewakan. saya bernekad untuk bertukar ke lain rangkaian hujung bulan ini kalau digi tidak membuat apa-apa perubahan
