Colin Charles Agenda: Mobile Number Portability and the switch to DiGi

  • ShaolinTiger · 9 months ago
    Yah since attending the Digi Broadband launch, my interest has piqued in their service.

    I'll be waiting to see when they come out with a integrated 3G data + GSM voice plan.

    I'm sure its not too far along. Don't forget, they would have already been there, had they gotten the license.

    How was the Digi Broadband launch? What was there?

    14.4MB HSPA service, but they are aiming for 2MB down at least at all times.

    I tested it and got 4MB down from Europe and both East/West coast US.

    The upload speed was slow though about 200k/s.

    The network isn't loaded yet though so we'll have to wait and see, I'll be interested when they come out with an integrated plan.

    If you can't stand Maxis' lack of service, I suggest you consider switching

    I switched from Maxis to Digi a few months back. I had no reception inside my house. I live in Sunway, PJ. First they tell me it was their tower's problem, then they said it was my phone problem (changed my phone). They just couldnt fix it. Lastly they told me I was staying in a low transmission area. My house is only 1KM from Sunway Pyramid and 500m from the (still under construction) Taylor's Campus. Sunway, PJ is a DIGI low transmission area. Didnt have this problem with Maxis.

    I even invited their engineers to come to my house to experienced it themselves. Well, they didnt.

    Now, I am on Celcom. No problems whatsoever. (touch wood).

    "So, what do I get over at DiGi that I didn’t at Maxis?"

    Another plus point is DIGI have "Bonus Points Rewards" which you can use to exchange for a FREE phone, or FREE phone call. Nice...
