Speed Test Results for U Mobile broadband
U Mobile is a special breed among 3G broadband providers. It has an unlimited package.
Rest assured there’s no free lunch in the world, it actually comes with 5GB usage FUP limit, for RM68 per month, fair enough.
Paying RM350 upfront (RM250 for 42mbps modem, RM100 advanced payment), I’m happy to find out that U Mobile has a terrific download speed. Okay, I mean comparing to other 3G broadbands in Malaysia.
5Mbps is a norm, sometimes creeping up to 10Mbps when downloading from file sharing site like megaupload.
http://mamaktalk.blogspot.com/From research, it seems that u-mobile is using DC-hsdpa+ technology, which boost up their speed theoretical up to 42mbps. The screen capture is taken in PJ area.
The maximum speed i have been experienced before is 12mbps, minimum is about 1mbps. Normal speed is about 5mbps.
I’ve been using it for 1 month and very happy with the performance and stability, never drop a connection so far.
Umobile has a rebate scheme for modem, RM20 rebates for first 5 months, so you only pay RM48 per month. What a deal!!! For the same price, you only get 1.5GB from Maxis.
