Last week was invited to join P1 W1MAX WIGGY Sneak Preview as a blogger @ P1 Auditorium, Packet Hub, Jalan Templer, before the P1 W1MAX WIGGY Launch @ Upstairs, The Loft. I have no idea where’s the P1 building so I got the google map and managed to get myself there on time! Some of the blogger mention that 7.30pm is very rush from them because some actually work in KL and luck me as I work in PJ hehe.

James Chong explaining during Q&A.
Hands on to test Wiggy…
Then all the bloggers were given a chance to test on the WIGGY…
We tested using speedtest.net and only can achieve 0.88 Mbps, maybe that time having some upgrade or something? It say it can go up till 10Mbps.

Then we proceed to M floor for Makan Time, damn hungry ler, that time around 9.30pm+ or so.
Foooood and chat and talk to all the managers and chit chatting and get close to each others and call it a day. =)
I just received a SMS from Digi telling me that Digi Broadband is in PJ now. It’s still their soft launch, that’s why you did not see much info or advertisement about the Digi Broadband or 3G. It’s not their style, they will advertise in a very creative way for Digi Broadband I guess. Stay tuned.

Ah, it looks like the fat yellow man is about to launch its 3G services after a year of much huffing and puffing. I thought this was vapourware, and I assumed this was, until I saw something real. The DiGi fanbois have been waiting for this moment – many who are using competing services want to switch when it’s available, saying it’s going to be cheaper, has better coverage, faster and will offer unmetered wireless broadband. Well, I’m here to say – sorry to burst your bubble, but all of that just ain’t gonna happen.
This launch website for DiGi’s 3G services has two packages on offer – one bundled with a HP Compaq CQ40 notebook and a Huawei E230 USB datacard, the other bundled with a Huawei E230 USB datacard. Both carry a minimum 12 month subscription period. The price for the first package is RM 999 for the notebook, plus RM 128 monthly, for a minimum of one year, for the 7.2mbps service. The second package costs RM 128 monthly, for a minimum of one year. Note that in the fine print it says that it’s only RM 128 monthly for both packages for the first 6 months, then it increases to RM 158 monthly for the next months that you subscribe to the service.
My comments:
1. damn, this is an expensive service at RM 158 monthly. Don’t let the 7,2mbps speed fool you, no one will ever achieve this speed in this world. I don’t know what world they reside in, but I’m on earth.
2. metered broadband of 10Gb monthly – double that of Celcom, and compared to Maxis’s unmetered (thus far) wireless broadband, is nothing to shout about.
3. coverage area sucks at the moment. They’re launching in the PJ area first, although I know for a fact that there is a DiGi signal where I live in KL. DiGi can’t be that desperate for revenue, can it? Or can it?
4. there is as yet no indication what the pricing is going to be when you sign up without any buying any hardware from DiGi, that is, you only get a data SIM from them. Maybe they’re not interested in selling this service. But I have no reason to expect anything below RM 158 as they mentioned that this is their monthly rate for the service in the terms and conditions.
My overall verdict – avoid this offering like the plague. You’re going to hit the monthly quota in no time, assuming you can get 50% of the advertised speed at 3.6mbps. If you don’t plan on hitting the monthly quota, why sign up with DiGi? Why not go with Maxis at RM 99 monthly (+ 5% service tax)? It’s way cheaper. Maxis’ network is currently 3.6mbps enabled, and it’s already 7.2mbps in some areas. Celcom offers RM 68 monthly, but only at 3G/UMTS speeds – again, if you’re not going to hit the monthly data quota, why worry about speed? The faster speed you get, the more you download, and the more you download, the faster you hit the quota.
People need to understand that it’s not just the speed that matters – it’s the amount you can use per month as well. Metered broadband is akin to having a straight road all the way from KL to Penang, and you buy a Ferrari. You’re told that you can only drive at 250km/h from KL to Tapah, from then on, you drive at 60km/h. Isn’t this a waste of money, buying the Ferrari? Get my point?
I should know what I’m talking about here folks – I’ve got one Maxis 3G data account, two Celcom data accounts and two DiGi data accounts. All are unlimited. The winner by far – Maxis at RM 99 monthly. If I show you my daily downloads on the Maxis network, you’ll drool. So, please, before you leave a snide comment that I’m biased or don’t know what I’m talking about, think twice or you’ll end up getting a rude earful from me
I think DiGi should rethink its tagline – from “Broadband done right” to “DiGi sucks…big time”.
Click here for the “promotion launch” website. I checked the whois – the site is confirmed to belong to DiGi.
