Allow me to share with you It has been long, so I'm not so sure what's the condition now, but I recommend you using Digi or Maxis for your internet connection. Here's why 1) If you are located as remote as you explain, I don't think you will be receiving any 3G connection any time soon. So Celcom is out, since they only offer 3G, HSDPA and GPRS. Most probably you will end up with GPRS. However, their connection is one of the most reliable. 2) Maxis has all the three, GPRS, EDGE and 3G. The connection is also reliable. but the problem is due to its pricing. I'm not sure about this, but if you can afford it. I recommend this more than Digi 3) Digi has only GPRS and EDGE, I'm using this currently and I must say that the only thing that is bugging me is its coverage. Due to their network structure at a lower frequency than Maxis (IIANM) I always get EDGE at one point, and if I move my modem by a few cm, it can change altogether to GPRS. You can try it by the way, just buy a Prepaid simcard, and insert it into your GPRS modem, top it up exactly RM150 and surf away. For prepaid user, you can actually use unlimited bandwidth with RM150 per month. Try the connection out for a few weeks, and if you are satisfied, go ahead signing up with postpaid which cost you RM66. There's no need to pay for the whole 12months with either Prepaid or postpaid. Conclusion - If you can afford it, choose Maxis, if not choose Digi p.s. Don't give up on this wimax just yet. It is said that by year end it will cover almost 25% of Malaysia, and furthermore, comparing with EDGE which only covers around 10km radius, Wimax, is covering at a max coverage of 50km. I'm putting my hope on this :) Hope this helps Deejay – I have gone through exactly the same phase, being outstationed with no access point, and I have done quite a lot of research to decide.

I have just been tarsnferred outstation. My area is totally out of Telekom's reach which means Internet broadband is impossible and Wimax is eons away from my place - which GPRS would u recommend and do we get to pay monthly or we have to pay 12 months in advanced for these GPRS packages :( I read about your need for a faster Internet Connection – okay just to let you into my situation.

The mill is running 24/7 so somebody will have to take the Sunday shift. I am hoping that on Friday, not many people will be there, thus can try longer hour :) Yes, I will try that wimax there. How about you? maybe on Sunday? Make Money Blogging – My off day every week is fortunately on Friday. The mill is running 24/7 so somebody will have to take the Sunday shift.
