Few months ago, DiGi rolled out its broadband packages running on its HSPA network but it did not launch the service for mobile phone users yet. However, few days ago, I saw some DiGi ads saying that their 3G service would be launched in Penang and Kota Kinabalu. Heck, why is it not available in the Klang Valley? Checked out DiGi’s site and I’m in coverage. Anyway, tried my luck and contacted the DiGi D’Chat service and they did activate my dcampus plan to work with the 3G line. Wow great.. lets try it out.

Great. the whole of Sunway is in 3G coverage.

Finally having the “H” (HSPA) logo on my cellphone instead of the usual “E” (EDGE) symbol! =D

Did a speed test one the 1st day and 2nd day .. Speed was awesome!  I could get download speeds of up to 300KB/s and upload speed of 160KB/s .. However, that did not last long. DiGi was quick to change its terms and prepaid users are now capped to a suuuuuper low speed of 50KB/s download and 15KB/s upload. damn u digi.

Anyway for RM30 a month for 3G broadband is “quite” affordable compared to other telcos such as Sialcom and Madsis.. I may give this service a try if my budget allows me to do so =)
