ada sape2 teringin nak bela beruk?

one of my friend ask me about wireless broadband (aka beruk ben in malaysia)

so i thought, why dont i share my humble opinion to others too.

ni sume depend on korang punya habit berinternet.

generally, aku rekomen
1. celcom : broadband advance aka celcom98 plan.
atau
2. maxis : maxis 6gb aka maxis98
atau

3. digi : explore 10gb

1. sume ni ok, price pn lbey kurang je. celcom ngn maxis RM 98, Digi je RM 108
2. usage pon ok juge. celcom 5gb, maxis 6gb, cume digi je extra. digi ade 10gb.
3. yg psl usage ni, bukan la nk ckp ble da cecah 5gb, pastu xleh pkai internet. tp ble da cecah 5gb usage, tenet akan jadi slow.
*dat's why aku rekomen celcom broadband advance. sbb klo cecah pn, speed xjadi slow sgt.
4. interm of reliability, i wud say digi 1st, then maxis then celcom. maksud reliability, constants speed. sbb kgkdg ade time laju, ade time slow. tp digi mmg constants.
5. tapi in term of coverage, 1st celcom, maxis x pasti, tp digi 2nd. digi 2nd sbb dia pkai EDGE. edge ni slower, tp digi pny edge laju. tp kl0 korang gune dalam area selangor je, bemi cadangkan digi.

my choice : digi
pro: reliable
cons: mahal

yg tu general. kl0 korang jenis light user, aku cadangkan amek yang murah je. tapi speed mmg slow la. ni mmg untuk casual user. bukan untuk yg hari2 download lagu, hari2 tgk vid kt youtube. tp ni stakat untuk yg anta emel, cari assignment.

celcom: celcom student
maxis: maxis student
digi: digi student

1. maxis xbg modem. celcom ngn digi bg, and free.
2. price, mmg murah la. celcom ngn maxis rm48, digi rm58
3. usage, u got wat u pay. like i said before, ni ntuk light user saje, yg nak murah. celcom 5gb, tp speed slow. maxis 2gb. digi 3gb.
*since celcom pkai speed slow, ble smp 5gb tu, speed akan bertambah2 la slow.
4. reliability, digi la.
5. coverage pule celcom. but like i said before, klo dlm area selangor je, digi is a good choice

my choice: digi
pro: modem free, speed laju (dan constant) dari celcom, data lg byk dr maxis,
cons: extra rm10. (but to me, it worth it)

klo nk paling jimat... amek celcom student. harga plg murah, modem free, speed n data pn ok for light user (xleh kongsi2 la. leh je kongsi2, tp xleh download file byk2, xleh bukak youtube slalu).

p/s: ultimate choice is you. the choice depend on
1. why do you need broadband? is it because you are always on the move? klo slalu fix, and ade phoneline, baik pkai streamyx. jauh lagi stabil, jauh lagi laju, jauh lagi puas. cume x dpt nk bwk jln2 la.
2. when do you use broadband? klo gune stakat kt umah, baik pkai streamyx. klo pkai kt ofis/university, baik pkai wifi/LAN. free. untuk rm48/month (plg murah ni), it is not worth it.
3. how do you use internet? tolak streamyx, penggunaan internet mmg byk pengaruh. bemi dulu biase kt umah pkai streamyx, download ni, download tu. tp ble pkai broadband, very frustated. sbb ade data usage tu. tp klo emi jenis light user, download lagu pn 2 3 sebulan. download movie pn x pnah. ok la pkai broadband student. nak sedap pkai yg bemi rekomen awal2 tu. speed pn ok, data pn ok. bole buat download lagu, 2 3 short movie, kongsi2 lagi.
4. money: ni plg penting la. kte student mmg slalu xde duet.

maxis : http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/broadband/wireless_allplans.asp
digi: http://www.digi.com.my/internet/broadband/packages_contractfree.html

ni comparison dari digi. aku tau susah sikit nak faham. tapi cube la bace. cume, bias ke digi. but generally, to understand different provider, ni ok.

 oleh kerana kemalasan melampau, aku just copy paste je dr ape yang aku emel dari aku aku. h0h0. =P

tp in summary, klo untuk heavy user, hidup dengan internet, wireless broadband not a good choice. not until internet service provider kat malaysia ni improve their service, i would not rekomen beruk ben. better choose streamyx.
