The unlimited usage only applies between 12am-11.59pm daily and there is a daily usage quota of 100MB. Users who exceed this usage quota will then experience a speed that is throttled to 128kbps.
My opinion:
Two questions for DiGi.
- Why is DiGi limiting internet speed at 128Kbps if users exceed the 100MB? TURBO3G at turtle speed for prepaid users?
- Are you forcing customers to move to DiGi Postpaid if they want to use heave data ON THE PHONE or use the phone as modem?
DiGi needs to look at competitor's offering before making such decision for prepaid users. Celcom offered an unlimited weekly data package because their unlimited daily data package was doing very well. DiGi should understand that prepaid users might need to use more data sometimes and they don't need to be on a Postpaid package to enjoy those benefit.
As for now, DiGi Prepaid users will continue to enjoy slower Internet speed ones they exceed the 100MB daily quota even if they want to pay more.
TURBO3G? I don't think so. Time to improve DiGi.

actually for celcom prepaid broadband, there are 1GB limit for daily and 2GB limit for weekly.. but they never enforce it (i guess) because i never seen any of my friend get throttled although they use it more than allocated bandwidth..
for digi, i believe they try to maintain the quality of service, that is why they come out with 100mb limit for prepaid, to avoid excessive use.
this is happen to Celcom Broadband, some of my friend bought prepaid broadband sim and subscribe daily/weekly just to download movie (non-stop) a day long. this may cause network extremely congested. then after finished they simply keep for 'future use' or just throw the simcard away.
furthermore, prepaid sim is easy to get and cheap.
just upgraded to DiGi 3G.. wow..fast and furious.. doing streaming on the road, no disturbance.. but My Celcom 3G cant even reach to the buffering.. OMG CELCOM! SELL COM lah
if you need to use more than 100MB per day other than illegal warez downloading, you would already have a good reason and afford-ability to take on unlimited data plan.
Digi is doing it right. 100mb x 30days = roughly less den 3gb. Postpaid RM48 is oso 3gb limit per mth. N will b throttled down if overuse also.
Digi is the way to go man!

For me, DiGi seem less aggressive now after they have a new CEO, they started to get so slow in everything...
