Just got my Huawei USB modem aka Vodafone Mobile connect modem from M1. Wah quite a handful of people sign up and try the service.

Sign up 1.8M connection and i think is better then the 3G speed. But still not good for gaming.

Yah bro I know.. Their unlimited is fake. Before I go I already know is 2GB. But so far I (office sim) use more then 1GB (their old plan) no action or letter was send to me. Still charging me the same thing.

One thing M1 BB cannot replace MOL. In fact MOL is faster then M1 BB. Or maybe SNBB 1.5 is faster then M1 BB. But I nv expect much from them also.

Yah I will monitor their billing.

I believe if you are hardcore downloading user. 2GB FP you must be extra careful.

Just by checking email and surfing net. I hit 27MB already.

felime · 06-12-2006, 04:56 PM

alrite to those who are using the M1 broadband service, don't forget to share with ur fellowmates here abt your first M1 broadband bill whether they got charge u for exceeding their fair usage policy of 2GB cap if u have exceeded and best is scan ur bill for all eyes to see.

How's the surfing experience? Smooth?

Not too sure how M1 get network setup! I always see 2nd hop of the route at reach.com.

Seems like limited direct connection to ISP / DC here.

Download file from fileaxis I getting download speed of 20+KB/Sec.

leaving_footsteps · 06-12-2006, 05:16 PM

Reach probably has a transit switch or something here I guess.

20+kb/s quite slow leh. But I guess it's for the mobility.

limpoop · 06-12-2006, 05:28 PM

Do you know if the Vodafone Mobile connect modem supports USB 1.0 used on older laptop?

Have you tested ftp'ing from a local site and what is the speed in KB/sec?

Do you pay the $22 fees at the beginning or end of every month and is there a contract period like Singnet?

Thanks!
