I tend to be slightly skeptical nowadays when the words “high peed” and “mobile” are used within the same sentence. You can’t blame me, adverts all around boast blazing speeds over mobile network but do you ever hear the same feedback from their subscribers? Hardly ever right.
Well, here’s a another new kid on the block U Mobile with the same claims. Hopefully they deliver. Read more about U Mobile on Wikipedia.
They simplified the packages by only offering one package at a low price of RM78 for unlimited access. Another favourable addition would be the cool looking modem seen in the picture below. All other providers are still sticking to the crappy bean design with it’s flimsy plastic finishing.
U Mobile is new so don’t expect superb coverage just yet. For now their reach covers most of Klang Valley. If the penetration rate is good expansion will happen for sure.

Picture taken fromĀ KongTachnology blog.
I have been looking into mobile packages recently and the only service provider that appeals to me is Celcom. Their Streamyx + Mobile Broadband combo is the best around. Don’t ya think so?
While the mobile providers battle it out, one thing’s for sure, U Mobile in my book has the best looking website. Light weight flash yet functional. A good first impression always works with products. VisitĀ U Mobile

Bro, Alvin subscribed the Celcom + Streamyx but according to him the SIM need to be 013.
And, regarding the U thing, I was given a brochure when I am in Endah Parade in Sri Petaling but they keep on telling me activation fee is RM 50 but never ask me to try the surfing speed. Maybe they don’t have a demo unit I guess and I am not interested with it too because I am using Celcom broadband now (RM 68) and Streamyx 1Mbps (RM 77).
The total amount I am paying is not so attractive. I am canceling it soon and get the Celcom + Streamyx,

tried for fews day, found out that their customer support does not know nuts about this service, and speed is the usually issues la. and what irks me most that while they cannot commit their network speed to us, they force us to commit to them for 18 months or else pay for the modem.

In Malaysia, consumers and never the first priority. Just take Astro, the customer care is the worst. All because they have the monopoly…

i just found out that multiple users shared the same ip address online. it’s too late for me to cancel without paying for the modem since it’s over 8 days. looks like i’ve fallen into the ‘if it’s too good to be true…” trap.
anyway, i have to cancel and get stuck with a worthless modem which have to be reconfigured (which i dont have any idea how to yet), to work with another service if such is available.
